Don't remind me ... 😢

Taking this abomination of JRRs work as reference point is plain wrong. This ring of power junk is nothing to talk about nor compare it against something great like Frieren. I don't compare Sharknado II to Jaws either. Yes to a good ending and a full adaptation with these people who worked on it right now and many more talents. But yeah that has nothing to do with this trash.

@@Airwave2k2that “trash” (I do agree with such a term for it) is the latest big fantasy thing Hollywood and traditionally the most successful media have put out. Just goes to show that a lot of American institutions are cracking and faltering as a direct result of ideology and philosophy and that Japanese media, for example, is quickly filling up any vacuum and also forcing its way into the Western mainstream more and more.

Different writing quality

hard to do good ending.. i mean we all know frieren in the end will have every one leave her.. maybe he got some good handsome himmel reincarnation elf😂

spoiler alert everyone died in the end because Sukuna got isekaid in Frieren's world@@ZhuGeLiang6969

I understand why people often describe the series as slow-paced, but it's not. So much narrative is packed into every episode, without even considering how much in-world time is also covered. I think the slow-paced impression is because the story beats aren't progressed by action scenes, those only come once every three or four episodes, at least at first. Action scenes come more frequently later. But there is also less dialog to carry the story. So if the pace isn't being driven by action or dialog, it comes across as slow-paced. But the reason I think the pace is not slow but rather perfect, is because of how frequent emotional scenes and self-discoveries are! After all, Frieren is on this journey to understand short-lived humans better. So each time she makes a discovery, the pace progresses. Also, a lot of the narrative is told through visual storytelling. There is a lot of screen time where no one says a word, but so much happens! Another reviewer pointed out that landscape backgrounds are done in almost an impressionistic style. The visuals hammer home the point that the world, for the most part, is at peace. Thanks to the OG Hero's success.

time skips =/= fast pacing

You are spot-on. I think this Madhouse Anime is the best Manga-to-Anime adaptation I have ever seen.

The soundtrack is just so beautiful and reminds me of Zelda music sometimes.

That is true, they are essentially an anonymous rock duo. They have a lot of great music too!

Sorry, my Finnish heart is too cold at times 😞

@@RealatGabbe Oh, Finnish! That explains a lot. 😋

​@@dreadogastusf3548 Tf is that supposed to mean? 😂

@@RealatGabbe No disrespect was intended. Your response to the original post implied you didn't cry because Finns are stoic, strong people. My comment was to play to that. It was intended to show that even foreigners recognize Finnish toughness.

@@dreadogastusf3548 i know man, it's nothing to worry about! I was just messing around :)

Yup, i fully agree!

This times a hundred if you happen to have ADHD. Time is something I waste way too much time thinking about, and I even have an RP character that was basically intended to eventually become "a Frieren". The reason I mentioned ADHD specifically is that it can actively distort one's perception of time, which is why it's sometimes outright called "time blindness". Months passing in the blink of an eye really can be how it feels sometimes, despite having a total lifespan no greater than anyone else. I didn't watch Frieren because people said it was good. I watched Frieren because it felt _targeted._

@@angeldude101 I was never diagnosed with ADHD, I checked on several occasions. But I can so relate to you. My last 5 years have gone by in the blink of an eye. And I haven’t learned anything new, or made anymore friends, more like lost some. Really gotta hustle to make up for lost time. But I feel like if I take this seriously, another 5 years will go by with me doing random shit thinking it’s helping. Lol So I’m learning to accept the fact that human life is not that much longer than a mayfly’s. At least in its perception perhaps. If you accept my poetic metaphor.

@@pumpkingamebox Ironically, I've pretty much taken the exact opposite lesson and to not worry as much about "wasting time". I may not have much to show for it, but it's a far cry to say that I've learned or gained nothing. It's just been much slower than what modern hustle-culture typically demands of people. I see Frieren's various mundane and unflashy spells as very much the same kind of thing as what I like to spend my time on. They may be "useless", but that doesn't mean they're worthless.

@@pumpkingamebox shit, same

I partialy agree, Solo leveling has a very fundementaly flawed story in that it is super generic however the auther clearly knoew that and instead focused a lot more on the characters them, selves in turn making them incredibly intriguing which imo made up for the story being more lack luster.

It really brings out ones emotions

Especially the first episode

yup@@ShadowBlitz776

Watch Violet Evergarden.

@@pythonxz that i can get behind, it is an amazing anime!

“Physically can’t relate to humanity” “Bro she’s so relatable”

I relate to the drunken priest

It’s called empathy.

Same mate, same. It's so good!

@@RealatGabbe for about 15 years, it has been FMA, HxH, Jojo,Vinland Saga,Berserk and Vagabond

Now im moving out Vagabond for Frieren

​@@smoovbynature Mine was fmabh, vinland saga, kill la kill, bakemonogatari and toradora, now you can remove kill la kill for frieren

@@RealatGabbe ima have to check bake and tora out

I absolutely agree, happy you enjoyed the video!

You might try to OG fantasy series Record of Lodoss War. It has some similarities to this show. The Crystania OVA is good, but skip its series. Skip the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight (it cheapens the original series). I love Deedlit so much

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

Lmfao 😂 No worries i do that too, guilty as charged

@@RealatGabbe yeah me too I was thinking about that and thought the comment might be interesting and funny.

people like you should just work on church

Yup, my point was that this is more so prevent in fantasy stories then in most others though.

Tropes are tools - and Frieren too, uses plenty of them. It just uses them well.

@@woongah true Often the tropes are very predictable and make stories cringe and boring

Never heard news?

What's so bad abt it?

-500,000 IQ

??? I'm confused Like, you can absolutely not like it if it's not your thing but "fuck this anime" is such an antagonistic reaction, what did this anime do that would warrant outright hate like that? I can think of nothing it does that would upset people.

Yet everyone has already forgotten about it and here we are still talking about Frieren 🤷‍♂️
