Episode 3 showed us more about frieren personality and toward her human apprentice(student). This show really captures how human interact, how they handle emotions, and the dialogue is really well written. (Bocchi the rock director really nailed introvert characters)

@Mainnus can someone give me a breakdown on the perspective of this frame? I've paused it multiple times and couldn't quite figure it out. At first I thought Frieren blasted a hole through the hill behind Qual but there isn't one behind him. Maybe a hole straight into the ground but the water/reflection is still. Perhaps it's just a theatrical thing by the animators to showcase her power?

Frieren is so old she's seen how a once deadly offensive magic be reduced to something that's easily defended. Kinda like smallpox. She doesn't just live long does she? She's immortal. 80 years and she hasn't aged a day.

after a long day at work, watching "Sousou no Frieren" really calms down the mind and gets rid of all the stress.

So far I can see how this could get to a point where it earns the heaps of critical acclaim it's gotten, but I feel like there's a good chance I'm going to ultimately come away thinking "Violet Evergarden did it better."

Part of that is my own distaste for the soft magic and lazy worldbuilding most anime fantasy falls into (by that I mean the archetypical fantasy, series like Hunter x Hunter, Dorohedoro, FMAB, etc are some of the best fantasy worlds I've ever seen) and I do worry that Freiren's world is going to fail to differentiate itself from the standard affair—it certainly hasn't done so yet even if it's not the worst offender. I would love to be proven wrong in time but I don't have my hopes too high in that department.

The production itself is still top-notch at least. Again, my only critique is that—as much as I like the song—Yoasobi sounds too modern for an archetypical fantasy story. The rest of the music fits brilliantly, which only makes it stick out like a sore thumb. It's too modern and electronic (even if I do like the song).

She’s plotting. She’s obviously spoiling her own suprise by the looks of it. Better than heavy bones or strange potion. The collector is capable to saving. He can tell what she wants to eat. They are still up to nothing at all. Magic theory and history. It’s threatening to get interesting. Qual and Zoltrock better not be a chimploonie task. A spell with that much power shouldn’t exist. Boo. They already invented the perfect counter to the strongest attack ever before we even saw it used. (Now I think about it I like the concept, the original boo was because of how short and meaningless the fight was clearly going to be because of that.) It was a painfully short but good looking fight. She kills him with his own life’s work. At least there was A fight. I guess I wasn’t expecting the right show coming into this.

O ritmo do anime é lento e segue com uma temática depressiva sobre o passado. É muito bom se vc gosta de drama. Mas não me cativou o bastante para seguir com os personagens. A personagem principal me passa uma sensação de passividade que me deu um pouco de raiva.

Pontos positivos: o desenho é bonito.

Pontos negativos: lentidão e pouco estímulo de curiosidade.

I don't know how that fight could've been any better tbh. From the fact that his ultra-strong magic back then was outdated after 80 years and could easily be countered, to the end when Frieren defeated him with his own magic that he himself could not block. Another amazing episode.

Honestly very nice anime. The magic of this world feels very real and alive too. Great worldbuilding to be honest. Also, the persistence of Humans to overcome anything is evident in this anime! Zoltraak's magic, which used to be very advanced 80 years ago, has become basic offensive magic. LMAO. Humans are really different creatures.
