Plot Summary: The story follows elven mage Frieren, a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest. In the past, the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower that occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and offers them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge. Frieren returns to the capital fifty years later; however, humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged. After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old age. During the funeral, Frieren expressed guilt for not attempting to learn more about him. Frieren then pays a visit to her other former comrades. She accepts an offer to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned child adopted by Heiter. She also receives an invitation to travel far north, to the resting place of souls, and see Himmel again to bid the hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. To fulfill those requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still pursuing her passion for learning magic. Frieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan, causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with Himmel's party a fleeting experience). The story thus takes place across a long time, with periodic flashbacks accompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself.

Plot Summary:
Soun Tendou runs the Tendou Martial Arts School accompanied by his three
daughters: Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. One day, the sisters' lives are
turned upside down when their father announces that he has promised one
of them to be married to a fellow martial artist's son in hopes of
carrying on the family legacy. In addition to their mixed reactions,
when the fiancé arrives, the last thing the Tendou family expects is
Ranma Saotome and his father, Genma. Ranma has been training in China with his father until an unfortunate
accident changed them both. Now, when water touches them, Ranma turns
into a girl and Genma into a giant panda. Ranma ½ follows Ranma as he
attempts to get along with his newly betrothed, the youngest of the
Tendou sisters, Akane. As the two begin to attend the same school, they
deal with fellow friends and rivals, all of whom have something to say
about their engagement.
2:20 - 3:10 Terminator Zero 3-4
Plot Summary: Terminator Zero is a 2024 science fiction action anime miniseries developed by Mattson Tomlin for Netflix. It is set in the Terminator universe created by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd. Animation services provided by Production I.G under the direction of Masashi Kudō. In 1997 Tokyo, Malcolm Lee is developing Kokoro, an AI system intended to compete with Skynet. The day before Judgment Day, Lee finds himself and his three children pursued by an unknown robot assassin and a mysterious soldier from the year 2022 has been sent to protect him.
When you look up at the sky, what do you see? A blue sky? Freedom? A
hopeful future? The people of Tokyo see none of these. Instead, an
ominous alien mothership looms overhead, engulfing the city skyscape. Three years ago, they came. The arrival of the "Invaders" sparked the
greatest war humanity had ever faced—one that threatened to end the
world. The Japanese government scrambled to fight the Invaders. Weapons
were mass-produced, sparking controversy and pacifist movements. That day, everything changed. And yet, nothing has changed. Kadode
Koyama and Ouran Nakagawa live their final days like they always have:
going to school, playing with friends, and doing what any carefree high
school girl would do. As they grow up, they come to learn what it truly means to be an adult,
in a world where adults seem to be demons who only deceive and destroy.
They come to learn the real threat to humanity is not the Invaders, but
humanity itself.
In the town of Kurouzu-cho, Kirie Goshima lives a fairly normal life
with her family. As she walks to the train station one day to meet her
boyfriend, Shuuichi Saito, she sees his father staring at a snail shell
in an alley. Thinking nothing of it, she mentions the incident to
Shuuichi, who says that his father has been acting weird lately.
Shuuichi reveals his rising desire to leave the town with Kirie, saying
that the town is infected with spirals. But his father's obsession with the shape soon proves deadly, beginning a
chain of horrific and unexplainable events that causes the residents of
Kurouzu-cho to spiral into madness.
