Not as much action like I thought it would be, but overall nice worldbuilding even though the timelapses are great. The timelapses however aren't bad. I think they reflect Frieren's perspective of things, but my goodness was that an emotional rollercoaster lol. Solid first episode :)

I liked this chapter and the representation of how a longer life makes us value small moments less—that what is meaningful to someone else, we see as futile. It made me feel sad, especially during Himmel’s funeral, because I associated it with the eventual death of my best friend. I’ve never believed that my own death is near, but if it were, I think I should value this life more. Even if it’s short, it’s important, and it’s my first and last opportunity to live.

It just didn't hook me. I'm going to give it a chance because of all the wonderful things I have heard about it, but if it wasn't this popular, I probably would have dropped it after the first episode.

I had high hopes for this series. Whole episode is mostly about recollecting about past events. Ok, that's great, but I can't recollect them when I don't know what actually happened. This episode was just boring to me.

A decent start. I'm mostly watching this in between my Basara reading. Curiosity sake, of course... I'm trying to understand the popularity of the series. Is it deserved? We shall see! So far, it has a decent start. It doesn't seem as good as Dungeon Meshi, but the characters are pleasant enough. I don't notice an annoying personality off bat, so that's a good sign. It's a fantasy series, and I love fantasy.

A bitter sweet opening, four friends saying goodbye. A painful lesson that adventurers and soldiers have to learn, but Frieren has to suffer the curse of a longer life than mere mortals or dwarves. Wonderful start.

It's an okay start. I was expecting a bit more action or flashbacks though. The music is brilliant and I love the background art. Frieren pretty much shows why immortality would actually be terrible. 10 years probably feeling like 10 months and watching friends become old sounds crazy.

So I watched the first episode of the highest-rated anime… I won’t lie, I started feeling sleepy. Not because the anime is boring, but because it’s so calm—and I was watching it late at night while lying in bed...

Also, it’s rare to see an anime use its opening theme from the very first episode. I saw all the characters in the opening—it was really intriguing.

The episode doesn’t make much sense so far; it’s completely mysterious, and I dare you to understand anything from it… So I won’t write a long comment. I’ll just say: let’s move on to the next elegant episode.

Went kind of fast, but the world is very interesting. I guess it's to represent how Frieren perceives time.

I found the first episode really impactful, I’m not sure what to expect from the rest of the season… I saw a lot of edits on TikTok… but nothing with major spoilers… but so far, it’s a piece of work that I’d say is changing the way I think about things I hadn’t given much thought to before.

@aurora_yuuki Oh, our paths have crossed once again—it seems you missed me a lot, didn't you?

Believe me, this show won't even get an 8 out of 10 from me. It's boring—I even dropped it after watching episode 10.

By the way, I encourage you to check out the reviews I’ve written before. You might find one you like!

@AboAhmed130 I don't remember meeting someone with your handle.


I can't fathom how you even found it dismal after watching episode 10. That was the second best episode after 26.


Anyways, it was a 10/10 from me. I loved it from start to finish.

Boring at first! The slowness deceives the viewer as to it's not something good.
Then you start to hear strange nuances and subtlety in discussions.
A beautiful anime, reminded me of the anime Musashi, and Violet Evergarden.

It only took 14 minutes into the first episode for me to start crying. boy if this whole show is going to be about thanatophobia then it's no wonder it unseated FMA & cemented itself as MAL's #1 OAT. Someone should have sold it to me like that sooner.

Feels like a perfect presentation to the world and almost a resume to what I should expect the show to be about, the art is not absurd but is just about what it needs to be, and I think that fits what the show is about just right. 9.8/10

I put it on my dropped list even though I have only watched 1 episode. It's because, it's not exciting for me. Yes, it's unique but the story are more like what happen after adventure than what happen during the adventure. And Frieren are just too emotionless and calm that it's boring. For me, it's overrated.
