I agree, that's entirely fair. Weakest part is probably the halo of isekai worldbuilding hanging over a non-isekai story. Strongest part is the skillfully crafted thoughtful moments with the characters, which are rare enough these days that it's proclaimed as a masterpiece.
Fumetsu no Anata e (To Your Eternity) beats Frieren easily on both of those points. Go watch it and you'll understand.
"skillfully crafted thoughtful moments with the characters, which are rare..."
No. that might be the case for normies who don't watch anime, but that statement is completely false for those who do actually watch more anime than just frieren.
The amount of skillful attention given to character development and interactions in anime, the general attention given to the everything in their shows, is much higher than western tv shows. It's not rare. Happens all the time in anime which is part of why anime is so popular now, and continues to rise in popularity.
I've watched many anime, still stand by my statement. I'm not going to say Frieren is the best of the best in that department though, just pretty good.
