Frieren was over 1000 years old by the time she joined Himmel's party, which we know from references to her teacher, Great Mage Flamme "who lived over a thousand years ago". Just that shows how much her perspective has changed so quickly. Not only does she truly value the 10 years she spent with Himmel's party, but she remembers everyone she met along that journey with genuine emotion. She didn't value people in the moment, it's only after the fact. Sousou no Frieren is the crystallisation of the idea that "You never know what you had until it's gone." and seizing the day. Live in the moment, because for you, what might "only be 10 years" could be "10 whole years" for others.

Quantum Mechanics which took the 1910s to 1940s by storm, with Physicists the world over dedicating decades of their lives slowly unraveling the frontiers of human knowledge? 3 subjects for juniors and seniors. Relativity to fission and fusion to the basics of elementary particles? 1 year's worth of study.

Actually you can get the Friren experience by breeding cats. Their lifespans are only about 16 years and they have kittens quickly. If you connect with the animals you can watch them be born, develop a personality, watch them grow smarter and go through phases, grow up, have their own kittens and watch them die. You are basically immortal compared to them and you are like a mountain in their lives, unchanging and unmovable. Really gives you perspective and respect for life and death. Although I feel the opposite, I treasure every second of my life and what I spend with my kittens because there will be a day I will never see them again and it comes faster than you think.

The amount of time that we have on our hands is just incomparable to theirs because two days is not even a half of the week. Time plays a crucial part in our development because of all sorts of different events that occurs during our lifespan and now think about all those experiences, all of those thoughts in your head that you would simply not been able to experience if your life was 2 days long. What would you ever do if your life was 2 days long?

This reminds me of an awkward interaction with a kindergarten teacher when I was younger. I was describing something that happened a very very long time ago and said it was 2 years ago. She laughed and said that wasn't too long ago, and I said I've only been alive for 6 so it was forever for me. That's when I realized that the older you are the faster time seems to go by. With a fictional character like Frieren, time must be on free fall. I've noticed there are ways to slow down time but it requires lots of focus in the present. Always learning something new and not having a consistent life style seems to do the trick. Remember: Hold on to your memories as best you can, else you forget who you really are.

They're the worst case scenario of Frieren's disconnection, pushed to the point of being entirely unable to value others (including other demons), even if they want to. The wiring just isn't there.

And he only took the First Class mage exam at his old age because only First classes can go into that region and to visit his wifes grave.

The series "Torture Princess" did this too, but instead of the Demons being humans with horns, like literally every other Light Novel and Manga out there, they are instead these grotesque monstrosities straight out of something like Bloodborne or Dark Souls, and it does a lot to sell just how dangerous they are. Heck, the second Demon introduced in the series is a house-sized beast made out of the hundreds of human faces.

Interesting to see this back in my feed after the gift of watching 8 episodes of the Frieren anime. The way they make "time" another main character blows me away. And the animation and art in the anime look like they add a lot to the manga. It's beautiful and makes my heart ache on a frequent basis, and the combat scenes are outstanding. The score is one of the best I've heard and so far looks like it may stand close to the same tier as the scores for Conan the Barbarian, LOTR or Dragonheart. And that's a dimension the manga cannot offer.

The main reason why I read that as love is because she didn't have the same reaction at Heiter's death despite having gone on the same journey with him as she did with Himmel.

But our words for names and our words for everything elsedo NOT overlap, like in English where "Amber goes out collecting amber." is a normal sentence. If you must use a word from established language as a name, it must be a simple or "pure" noun. Frieren is a verb made into a noun. If you must make up a name, Frost would be the closest valid word.

Life is lived right now.

"Yokahama Kaidashi Kikou" is a manga where an immortal (Hatsuseno Alpha, an A7M3 android) takes it easy running a cafe while the humans she knows grow up, grow old and pass on. It's a very laid-back manga, some people say it's the best slice-of-life manga out there. There can be gaps of a decade or more (story time) between chapters on occasion. Very understated, well worth reading -- it finally got an official English-language publication from Seven Seas, coming this September.

Yokahama Kaidashi Kikou is in my top 5 all-time favorite manga which is saying something since I have read, without exaggeration, hundreds of different series. Ginga No Shinanai Kodomotachi is another great manga that stands out for exploring that same mono-no-aware vibe that Frieren and YKK have.

I'm here from episode four and this is the only time I've actually believed a character to be a thousand years old. Everything about how she behaves just confirms how insignificant a hundred years is to her. She keeps doing seemingly menial tasks that takes years the same way a normal person waits a day or two to do the dishes. And the human contrast of the companion is really telling. Frieren is an amazing show and the world feels so real. I hope she gets an elf boyfriend and see him for a hookup or date once every hundred years or so.

Many of us have probably felt what Frieren is going through slightly when a pet companion passes away be it a dog, cat, hamster or etc they have much shorter lifespans than most of us but we form that bond with them, they would be there when were down and happy but once they're gone those moments feel alot more different, they weren't just pets they were living beings that we made connections with and spent time with. Since we are actually able to feel the time pass us by we learn the lessons that Frieren is learning over her long lifespan in a much more condensed fashion but in the end we all learn the same lesson. We have all probably not learned the lesson fully but as we do get older and wiser like the hero Himmel and the rest of Frierens comapnions that have passed away in the story, The connections that you make during your life is one of those important lessons most of us need to learn espcially in the society we have now where its just mostly superfical relationships through social media and not a a true heart to heart companionship.

I feel like the use of "immortal" or characters with very long life spans rarely touch on the topic of loss to this level. It would be terrifying to get close to someone, knowing how brief the time would feel, knowing in the end, it would only cause pain to lose them. Would they choose to hide away, staying away from the relationships and saving the hurt, or would they cherish each moment and memory. The concept feels like there are so many avenues for exploration

There was a poem about this about how an immortal let someone die because he was afraid to love. But this topic of loss has been used a lot. A lot of anime has people moving on from loss. There is also a movie called "Tuesdays with Morrie". It's theme is about loss and acceptance of death (of yours and others death). I think there are even more concepts immortals stories could have. Time management is one, so many people think of immortality as being able to do everything when that is not true. There are even stories about Immortality being bad because they would have done everything which is just ridiculous. Of course time management is a concept paired up with valuing people beside you (and loss) but it would be interesting as its own thing. Theres also a lesson for having an open mind due to immortals havihg to live through different civilizations with different values, some good and some bad.

Seems like 9.8/10 animes either show the main characters in jr/high school or early adulthood (in their prime so to speak) so this is a refreshing and new concept to be fleshed out. I'm totally down to read the English manga! And yeah fingers crossed it gets a quality anime adaption.

Thank you Frieren for showing us that you don’t have to reinvent the fantasy genre to tell an original and engaging story. That’s the beauty of Frieren. It has the same Dragon Quest elements people are used to and expect to see in a fantasy story but twists the narrative and explores a path less traveled from the standard cookie cutter fantasy. It shows that there is still room for fantasy to grow as a genre if someone stops and takes a moment to look at it differently.

Sousou no Frieren has the best depiction of elves I've ever seen in Manga, and honestly its better than 99% of western media as well. I've always found it frustrating how Fantasy (especially RPGs) treat them like pretty humans with pointy ears, completely ignoring how vastly different such a long-lived being would perceive the world around them and the passage of time.

In the books (not movies) it’s similar with Tolkiens elves. There written as friendly and cheerful group and feel unique, but they are getting sick of the world as it’s constant changes ways down on them. The three elvish rings power were specifically made to stop this weariness of the elves which is why it’s not a huge issue at the start of the story, but at the end with the ring of powers destruction the elvish ring also lose their abilities. That’s why the elves go to the undying land where everything is immortal so this whole dealing with everything around you dying is not a issue

That what makes the concept of immortality or living longer than an average person scary to me; The feeling of loneliness, you have memories of the past but in the end your friends will die and you will be the only one that remembers the moments you had. It's like your the only one who watched the end credits of a movie and you can't share that experience to anyone cause your the only one that knows.

Frieren is probably one of the few mangas I read that I am actually looking forward to read whenever it comes out(asides from Shinohayu), and probably would explain why my taste in fantasy has changed after desensitizing myself with every good, bad and trash isekai that I have read and watched for quite a while now. Frieren is a piece of diamond in the bunch of glass shards that is called the isekai/fantasy genre. I won't be expecting this to be getting animated anytime soon, if so... it would be a hard to adapt since it would be hard for any profit-driven companies to make this adaptation a worthwhile piece of media to invest.
