Better Call Saul: Saul Gone (2022)
This Isn't Jimmy McGill
Better Call Saul is one of my favorite series, and I can understand why some people loved the ending, because it is wonderfully executed, almost like a movie; the music and the shots are exceptional. But I didn't like the content; I am not satisfied with the ending. Not all series are meant to have a sad ending, but that's not what bothered me. I just found the ending poorly written; I didn't recognize Jimmy McGill in this episode. Despite his extravagance, Jimmy has always been a reasonable person; he would never have accepted 80 years instead of 7 years. The motivations were shaky, wasting the end of his life and any hope of getting out of prison, for what reason? To impress whom? It was just bad; Some people say that by making this choice, « Saul Goodman became Jimmy McGill again » (._.)Jimmy would never have done that; it's absurd and makes no sense at all. An incomprehensible choice.
And what's the point of showing that Kim has found a boyfriend? Who cares?

A ship that comes out of nowhere
The work is good, I admit that I cried several times, and overall, I had a good time. However, several points bothered me. First, the writing overall is quite average. Then, all the characters have the same backstories; it's redundant, and you get the feeling of always seeing characters with a similar past.
Furthermore, the final ship of the work is very poorly written. Tohru should have ended up with Yuki, and I'm not saying this because I would like to see this ship, but because it's the logical continuation. Kyo already had Kagura, so why does he send her away? What's the moral behind that? Kagura dedicated her life to him and did everything to have Kyo. It was Yuki who gave her his cap when she was little. Then, the first character of the series we see is Yuki, so it's logical that the main Sohma character ends up with Tohru. Initially, Kyo was just supposed to be Yuki's rival. But it's Yuki who is the first Sohma we follow.
Then, from the beginning, we see that the Mangaka had prepared the YukiTohru ship, but over the seasons, she changed her plan, and that bothered me. Because the Tohru/Kyo ship is forced, we don't understand why Tohru loves Kyo (WTF?), and then introduce a new girl out of nowhere for Yuki. In short, this ship is nonsense.

Disappointed
I was completely unfamiliar with this work but was intrigued by the overwhelmingly positive ratings it received everywhere. Frieren generates a lot of buzz within the manga community. So, out of curiosity, I decided to give it a watch. However, I never managed to engage with it. Even with effort..
It's not a bad piece of work, but it's just not for me. I found myself bored and unable to connect with it.
I wonder if people are genuine with their ratings or if they're just following the trend.
Positive points: the art and animation are excellent, and the work explores some interesting philosophical themes.
Negative points:
The characters are average, their character design is average, the plot is average, lacking action, the characters aren't very intelligent, the pace is slow, there are few stakes, in fact, there's just nothing exceptional about it. There are dozens of works much better than this.
