if only there was a silly little spell to replicate the style and superb quality of impo videos 😞thank you for framing this beautiful piece of art in such a positive mindset ♥cant wait for the blu-ray to enjoy it to the fullest! 😘

You kidding me? You do not kill a demon every week, but you do laundry every week. A clothes cleaning spell should be huge!

Frieren spent 910 years learning offensive magic, and 90 years (after Himmel said her magic looked nice) trying to round herself out like Fern.

A reason I think of is I think Frieren loves humanity. Sure powerful spells are flashy but not useful in times of peace really. What's useful in a time of peace is a silly little spell to clean clothing, make grapes sour, or heat up tea. All her little spells when taught to the world will make a far bigger difference in peoples lives.

And yet, she still not found the greatest spell, the spell for making snow cone syrup. I weep after every quest, because it still eludes her.😢

I'm not kidding, I gasped at the "locate missing accessory" spell because of how useful I could imagine it being for me personally. If it were expanded to be for any small missing items, it'd probably be my pick as the spell I'd most want to actually have. I love mundane and specific spells & their application to the lore of a world. Seeing so many of them in Frieren has me overjoyed!

3:55 "...but Fern changes. She becomes appreciative of the small things." Shows the panel when she sees Stark's small friend 😂

“Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love.” -Gandalf the Grey. Frieren’s theme is one of the reasons why I love the manga, the same way I love Tolkien’s works. Glad to see the anime do it utter justice! Also glad to see it gain popularity, Frieren definitely deserves it, in my opinion.

I love how Frieren in the Manga art style kinda looks like a doll (literally with her round cheeks and delicate eyes). Reminds me of fairytale art in children books.

That was actually a good choice. In a world without washing machines magic that does the laundry would be incredibly valuable for all the time it would give you to do other things and it's something you would use all the time.

Magic that cleans all the Dust from your PC

What I like about these silly little spells is that we, as the readers and anime watchers, are clearly and often shown the consequences of not having them. Frieren spends multiple sleepless nights because she didn't have "lost accessory finding spell". They spend hours (maybe even half a day) cleaning a stone statue because they have a spell that cleans bronze and metal statues but not stone. They get trapped in a dungeon and Frieren saves their asses by having ice cream ice making spell. Not ice cream making spell, but just ice cream ice making spell, which means they won't die from lack of water but they have nothing to eat. If she had tea creation spell then, Frieren could combine the two effects to make tea tasting ice cream and they won't be in danger of starvation either.They spend six months looking for a flower because limitation of spell to make field of flowers is that Frieren has to have seen the actual flower and not a drawing of it. But it gets even deeper. You can use levitation spell to carry your incapacitated teammate but you can also use it to harvest the whole field of carrots or to easily clean a whole bay (Frieren and Fern have done a work of a whole village in a matter of hours by harvesting the field or months by cleaning the bay). And then we get to speculation. Imagine if Aura the Guillotine had silly little break-dancing golem spell to work with and improve instead of "compare mana, loser gets enslaved" spell. Instead of becoming a mass murderer with an army of shabby and dirty suits of armor with rotting dead bodies inside that she is animating with her magic, Aura could have had an army of stone golems she is animating with her demonic magic. So Aura the Guillotine never becomes Guillotine!

One thing I really noticed actually pretty late (as a german) is, that all nameworthy characters have a german word as a name. Frieren = be cold Himmel = sky Eisen = iron Heiter = cheerful Fern = far away Stark = strong Lügner = liar and so on

The spell that clean up statues (of her friends) and the spell of sour grapes are 2 that i just LOVE, because it is stuff she learn not for her!

I think it's also saying that the longer you live the more the little things become important. Think of how many thousands of times Frieren isn't going to have to wash her clothes in the future after learning that clothes cleaning spell. Much of life is the little things you do every day.

I hope they make a joke where frieren or Fern pulls out their staff suddenly to cast a spell, and when questioned, they just say: "sorry my back was itchy"

Glad I’m not the only one to appreciate the practicality of the scroll reading. Just a neat few seconds of grounding this world

Fern becomes appreciative of the small things... I see what you did there

Honestly, as cool as having magic would be I'd never wished to actually have it until Frieren made that comment about the perfect tea spell.

Frieren is very reminiscent of miyazaki's movies for me, with the focus on how people live their lives, the small little things which don't detract from an epic story but ground it and gives it stakes by making everything feel so real and beautiful. Also the fact it's not afraid to just, take it's time, have breaks, breath. I really like how the different ways character experience time is portrayed, cause we see how it can make frieren detached from the rest of the world BUT it also gives her some perspective on things, she get time to absorb her experiences, she doesn't fall for demon tricks anymore, she's able to see beauty and opportunities in things other wouldn't consider, and it's not that other can't see it, because when they get to stop and breath too they also realize it was worth it to experience those things. It would have been easy to write frieren as only disconnected or as only experienced. But she's both and none at the same time. She's connected to different things and she is experience but still lack in a lot of skills like social skills or the fact she is bad at casting holy magic. You can really feel like she has all this time behind her, but she's still a silly little elf. I love her.

It took me until this video to notice that Frieren wears Flamme's ear jewellery (our at least inspired by)

[SPOILERS] Wonderful review of many important tropes in Frieren. Anyone who selects out Fern's selection of her Privilege at the end of the Mage Exams is truly someone special who is deep into Frieren's world. Fern is totally Frieren's student. Also there is a backstory at the end of the first Mage Exam. This is a critical deep dive into a speech from Flamme. The brilliant author, Kanehito Yamada, lays out exactly what his story is all about in an ultimate sense. Every word in this factory backstory has import. It is why Frieren's enigmatic Earrings are also a direct reference to Flamme. I noticed that the new ED references those earrings. Nothing has ever been said about them in text, but they are fully and consistent visually. Flamme wears Red Teardrop earrings with a small bauble dangling beneath. These are magical, they are not attached to the ear. Frieren lives for a 1000 years after the death of Flamme and she never wears earrings of any kind. But when she joins Himmel's quest to destroy the Demon King, she begins to wear magical Red Teardrop earrings but without the bauble, and she never takes them off, even to sleep. The new ED might suggest a nuance that Frieren is still dancing in the Palm of Flamme's hand just as Frieren said at her old home where she lived and studied with Flamme. This story is such a deep dive![/SPOILERS]

I appreciate how vibrant Himmel's colours are and how muted or calm Frieren's colours are. Himmel has beautiful blues, which made it easy for me to like him right away.

The opening of this video is exactly how I describe Frieren. Although I say it's Legolas reconnecting with humanity after learning the rest of the Fellowship has died because Legolas is the only Fellowship member that's functionally immortal like Frieren.

Ngl I wish i had a spell for making warm tea. On the other hand, the process of making said tea is quite comforting.

The way Frieren reads a scroll simply is how you do it, real scrolls are usually pretty long so unfurling them fully is impractical and risks damaging it. Source: had to read from a scroll on 13th birthday, for my bar mitzva.

Its also something that a lot of the spells, since they are being passed down through word of mouth or through tomes and scrolls very specific to when or where Frieren gets them, that these spells are, for the most part not something that would be shared. Unlike the combat magic or mainstream magic that has been honed to a tee and a science that everyone can recognize and utilize, her silly spells are mostly just for her and those around her which also encompasses a small group of people. Much like how the idea of cherishing these tiny details and these moments of serenity around us are often very private and specific; one person's tiny moment of happiness is probably something very specific to them, these spells are very specific to Frieren, and I think having a deep contrast of showing the grandoise nature of large scale magic and how its become this studied thing to just her learning some random thing out in the boonies contributes to that overall feeling of solemn the story wants to convey

Anytime your transforming things from state to another your kinda of in the realm of magic. Cooking, Blacksmithing, sewing, sculpting; there are all kinds of folklore connecting these activities to magic.

JOEL THE FISH MENTIONED RAHHH

You are a god for doing so much work to prevent spoilers

Damn that was a really nice and cozy little video! I was grinning while watching most of it, which is very rare. You almost got me wanting to do one of those myself for the things I enjoy too, although I'm waaay to lazy to haha. I hope we don't have to wait 2 years for the next one, too

silly billy learning silly magic truly a 10/10 anime

I love this! im subscribing! its just absolutely refreshing upon countless frieren review videos. great work!

Honestly I had a similar read of the show as well. I started watching it recently, and It motivated me to try and take life a bit slower to really be present in each moment, really drink in the emotion as you put it. I suffer from pretty bad depression but ever since following this, slowing things down and just experiencing every moment as it comes I have felt a lot happier. I am so glad I ran into this show, it has genuinely helped me make a substantial positive change in my own life.

I am a bit late to the party but I just have to comment and say this video is amazing and you captured such an important message with it. Its such a great explanation where her love for these silly little spells come from and I really enjoyed Fern growing on it too. In a way Fern is just like the viewer. I myself felt the same kind of urgency whenever Frieren suggested doing something for literal years in return for a spell I see no use in. The more of such quests our Group went through though the more I learned to appreciate them. Not only did the spells often come in handy and create these fun, cozy moments you explained. Small happy situations we just need to keep going through life but also I think the quests themselves had the same effect on Fern. She learned to enjoy helping others, the happy little accidents the group had working on the task and just living in the moment and enjoying life. Another interesting aspect for me is the fact both Fern and Frieren are the counterpart to Serie when it comes to what magic represents in their eyes. I always call Frieren and Fern mages of Peace while Serie is a mage of War. While she mainly views it as a tool, a weapon and power Fern and Frieren are mages of Peace. They simply enjoy making people happy with magic and have a feeling of love for magic itself. An amazing video you made there and ive re-watched it a few times already. Keep up the great work and an amazing take on this topic and a good lesson for life. Id recommend Girl´s Last Tour to you since it also has a lovely take on this concept of taking life as it comes and appreciating every small little thing.

i bet the title of that episode is gunna be like "the apprentice of my apprentice's apprentice"

Incredibly tasteful plug at 1:09. Well done.

Really enjoyed this video ❤❤❤ And I agree the Fern spin part is top tier stuff right there

I only started watching through Frieren recently but you've managed to capture and explain why I've been so enthralled by it so well 😊 also amazing video seriously, I've been sleeping on you starting to make yt content clearly but you are very good at it!!

Life is short, appreciate the little things.

Bro. That’s how a scroll is meant to be read. Think about it, scroll.. scrolling

Excellent video FernSpin

that was a very good intro, couldn't put it togetrher better than that to sum up the series, I really enjoyed that :)

i followed because i can see the fact you like what youre doing which makes your videos 10 times better your voice is also majestic

I love her silly spells. it shows exactly how much she learned to pay attention to others. Like how she knows everyone's birthdays despite that probably being a far too frequent date for her. Stark is pronounced Shtark btw.

I absolutely adore the simple, every day uses of magic. You don't really get that a lot.

I love this video. It was Amazingly thoughtful, thank you

Fernler emote when? Beautifully made as always Impo VwV

Great review and yes the spin that Fern does in the intro gets me every time

so well made!

This is my favorite video on Frieren yet! Awesome work. And OMG, Fern is a Joeler confirmed I love this

Shout out to the tiny red accent you sometimes see in Frieren's eye. it's such a simple addition but one I don't think I've seen before in character design and it really is the part that makes the sum greater.

Clapping and cheering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As another commenter wrote (paraphrasing), “yet another banger from Improv1sed!” Thanks for the awesome video!

another impo banger!!!!!

I was threatened by frieren to comment here by her most powerful spell

The food parallel works especially well. Even if not stopping at the bare minimum, you can either always eat following your routine or explore new possibilities. Small change in seasonings, ingredients, going to a new restorant and trying to guess what's different about this chef's technique to replicate an aspect you liked more than you own cooking, it all adds up even tho these steps are small. Then you use this knowledge to cook whatever a friend visiting you likes, or something that reminds you of past holidays with your familly, etc. Or you can just go to new places to eat just for the heck of it, and appreciate more foods made by other people without a special goal in mind.

Subscribed! Got to say that this was a really well put together video. With small channels it's usually quite evident that they are, but not this time. Feels like it has good pacing, good sound, you've got a good voice for this type of content, and it also has good editing. Keep it up!

Appreciate the manga spoiler warn and timestamp. You're a legend imma sub you for that, much love!

I binged it in the last week before the last episode. It's the most epic and easily watch ever. 12/10 😊👍

I really wanna play a spellcaster in d&d who collects spells now. Heck, as a DM I want more silly spells available to transcribe, having them in dungeon loot and such~

Fantastic work boss ✌️

Another amazing video with a really nice message behind it. I really like the way you used the (backround) music too! Also "cuz it looks like joel the fish" had me laughing We'll work on the german pronounciations at a later time-

Im definitely appreciating good food! I just made and ate a fabulous dinner that was so good it made the entire day worth it because i was in a lot of physical pain 🤕 this is a lovely and really well-put-together video and i LOVE how you had a list of all the little details you appreciate!!! I look forward to watching this myself; sooo many people have been goint on and on about how fantastic it is! And it does indeed look phenomenonal! You should be very proud of this video you created ❤

The show really does put a lot of emphasis on appreciating more nuanced things in the down time. Something Frieren came to learn about herself. We're learning from her, and from the story itself, as the audience.

Great video , and video production

This one's definitely gonna pop off

Carefully crafted Video, subscribed!

This video put a smile on my face :)

I was mesmerized with how detailed the clothing animations were.

The majula background hits deep, thank you, also im glad someone else notced the way frieren reads a scroll 😅👏👏

Congratulations on the video popping off!

I want to thank you for being the first english-speaker I've heard say Frierens name correctly. It was a small thing but it immediately showed me your attention to detail and gave me the right mood for the video :)

underrated channel

This show lives Frierent on my heart.

Aside from appreciation for the little things, it's also a good way for Frieren to remember people and places. Associate them with these funny little spells she likes.

the moment ds2 sound tract started playing i knew i have to sub and like keep up the good work sir

one thing i love is that a lot of the silly little spells she collects, reflect the people in her life. Frieren mentions having a spell to turn grapes sour and just a few episodes later Heiter motions he loves grapes, the sour the better. you will see these small interactions braid together all the time and to me it read as if collecting spells is a way for Frieren to commemorate the people in her life.

Putting the Wildfrost OST is just *chef kiss" !

Subbed thanks for the spoiler warning I'll rewatch after I catch up on the manga!

I love her silly spells. Frieren made mundane folk magic beautiful and human. While Himmel left statues of their Hero party along their journey so people would remember them by, Frieren embarked on a similar personal quest of collecting magic spells so they wouldn't be lost to time. The pine cones made me smile. I have this habit of collecting stuff that I found on the ground like toys, trinkets, pebbles, a rusty pocket knife and even some sort of local seeds that look like pine cones but spikier. In my car there are a number of these items and some are kept in containers at home. Every weekend I would have breakfast at any noodle shop. I would parked a little farther because of the full parking spots and I like to walk. I love watching the crowd between my walk to and from the noodle shop. It feels so alive with all the sights, sounds and smell. It's the little things.

Breakdancing golem is clearly the most powerful spell from the era of myths

This makes me want to watch it

In addition to paying attention to the small moments in life, something else I would highly recommend is to make a record of them somehow, like in a journal. In my case, I started a private blog, though you don't need to go that far. I just like being able to display my pictures together with my journal entries. But it's nice to have something to look back on, especially when your memory isn't so great.

Sometimes it's the journey that matters more than the destination.

Wow a late comment to fight the algorithm. The editing on this and video topic was absolutely amazing subscriber easily earned!!

"Magic that helps you speak quickly without biting your lips" Bruh 😅

A spell to clean your clothes would be so helpful today, but imagine how valuable it would have been if you were constantly on quests at a time way before electricity.

good video. hope you find great success on youtube.

There's something I've noticed as well, watching the anime only so far, Freiren actually smiles more now than she did at the start. It subtle but it just makes me happy seeing her smile more. Also, when are Fern and Stark gonna start dating!? Cmon!!! *slams my oversized wooden tankard on the table*

There's actually a whole arc after the LOTR movie-end, where the hobbits go back home and have to take the Shire back from Saruman and Wormtail.

6:23 that looks like a curry and a half brother. you don't have to downplay yourself just because you don't have masterchef presentation

6:44 Some of the most wonderful moments in my life have been some of most mundane. The simple act of stopping to feel an autumn breeze blow by, enjoying a cup of coffee during a quite night, or to hear nothing more than the ambient sounds from around you as you walk. I've always had a bit of a rough life, juxtaposed with a good family, but always caught in the tension between the two. With the death of my dad last year, my little brother discarding my mother and I for his wife and their family, and the financial ground under my feet constantly falling out from under me - It hasn't done wonders for my already bad health and to say the least. Yet, through the violence and pain which stain my memories like unsightly ink blotches it's those small mundane moments that keep me smiling. A sip of warm soup on a cold night. Distant sparrow-song while on a lone patrol. One quiet moment. The simple, oft overlooked things can bring so much happiness. In an adventurous life full of tumult and unpredictability the silly little moments can grant an oasis of reprieve for the soul.

Good thing for Stark that Fern learns to appreciate small things XD

4:58 Idk if this is gonna be read but one important aspect of "laundry magic" and of mundage magic as whole is this idea magic of the era peace. Magic prior to the defeat of the demon lord centers almost entirely for war so magic that is made for joy or to make lives easier is considered "lost." Since Frieren is a mage suited for an era of peace, her collecting these everyday mundane spells is in a way a representation of the world moving from an era of war and violence back to an era of peace. None of the spells that Frieren learns (except for the running gag see through clothes spell) are useless and in fact often are the types of spells that make lives easier or bring people comfort.

Here’s a small detour loved. Frieren and Flame share the same style of earrings

I'm a manga only for Frieren, but intend on watching the anime eventually. I love the little snippets (spinning rock golem) that shows the little details in the story.

I came here to just figure out how to pronounce her name but really enjoyed your storytelling and editing. Serously well done!

I absolutely love how disappointed the archmage was by Fern asking for laundromagic.

YO PRESIDENT BANGER VIDEO

2 Things: First, amazing video! You made it a pleasure watching it. The high quality is something one can only wish for. If you ever make another video I'll be happy to watch it. Second, if you want your curry to look different put a few spoons tumeric/kurkuma in it. Makes have a nice yellow color.
