There is one! Freiren!
If anyone likes Lord Of The Rings type stories? Or high fantasy in general? This one's gigantic. #1 on MAL's all-time list for a reason. All the hype doesn't even cover how good it is.
And the dub is outstanding! Frieren's English VA has a different style to her delivery? It takes 5 minutes for it to sound absolutely perfect, just like the J-VA's.
They released the first 4 episodes at once because (honestly) it takes some time to set the stage & get used to the "dual stories" of Freiren's past journey with the Hero's Party. By early Ep.03 I was totally hooked!
Se.03 in Oct '27! Not that long in comparison. People are unanimous that it's not just the best story arc in Frieren, it's one of the best manga arcs ever.
I find that most manga/anime stories take a bit to get hooked anyway. As do a lot of JRPGs. They take more time on character development. Western media will just say, "here's a character, she's a black lesbian" and that's supposed to trigger something in your programming that makes you instantly care and they don't have to bother with character arcs.
