| This anime is such a god damn vibe it's insane. It's giving me major D&D and LOTR vibes but in a very, very good way. Like the last, this was such a peaceful and sentimental yet melancholic episode. It was just about honoring two old comrades and their legacy with mage training and finding flowers but it's so beautiful. Wow. I never knew that I wanted an anime based upon the lifespan of an elf but here we are. |

| @Jasev Maybe the anime director, background artist, etc. Not the author, since all of those scenes are redrawn in the anime. And most of those scenes in BOTW were likely to be inspired by the LOTR trilogy themselves. |

| Everything about this show makes me feel fuzzy inside but at the same time I far how our protagonist is going to handle everything by the end. |
  |
| Another wonderful episode...I think I see why the ED is full of flowers |
| The blue moon flower, cool!!! kekeke |
| Man, this show just keeps hitting me in the feels. Like, they just don't miss. I'm really loving the small comedic scenes in this show. They're shown at just the right times where you're able to find it funny yet not have it break the tension that the previous scene has been building up. I also love Frieren. Two episodes in and she's already such a well written character. |
 |
| Another beautiful episode, Madhouse is going fully wholesome with this one. |
“There are only two types of people in the world--those who became otaku and those who didn't--and the latter just can't understand what the former is so excited about."--Ono Norihiro  |
| This anime is extremely clever in depicting an elf's long life and how the elf feels to live longer than all her friends and loved ones. It shows how insignificant decades are to an elf, the anime manages to maintain a wholesome and slice-of-life-esque vibe while it shows the struggles of a long life. |

| R.I.P. Heiter. He left the world with good intentions. Frieren and Fern will miss him dearly. Fern has come a long way, and her journey with Frieren will be a long one. This show only continues to amaze me. |
 |
| Seeing the growth of Fern during this time period as Frieren is deciphering was a nice way of introducing her character. I was expecting to see a little more as they say their goodbyes after the passing of Heiter, but with the time spent in that village and the look at Frieren as she cleans off the statue of Himmel, I think we got to see a lot more of her current feelings surrounding the events. |
 |
| Everything about this show so far has been classic iyashikei that I've been missing for years in newer anime, except for that cringy vocaloid j-pop bullshit song that plays during the opening that ruins the entire mood of the show, especially when binge watching. I hope they put something better and appropriate in the opening during the second half. |
| Beautiful episode. Had me tearing up at the end. |
| My face is dripping a bit. Well deserving of a 9/10 from me! |
| That was snooze-inducing. |
| RIP Heiter. Thankful he left Fern with Frieren though so that Frieren doesn't have to be lonely as she travels. |
| I love how this anime is just a calm peaceful slice of life high fantasy of a "supporting" character who once upon a time accompanied the "simple minded idiot shounen protagonist" in his epic legendary adventures and tall tales people throughout time speak of and is forever found of the memories they created together. It's SO fresh, WHERE WAS IT HIDING... I guess she doesn't age or age extremely slowly because she's an Elf but because she's a mage seeing how Fern (presumably a human) didn't or barely aged either ever since she became a mage. EDIT: Never mind, I mistook 26 years after Himmel death for 26 years after Heiter death, I feel stupid. She doesn't age or barely ages cause she's an Elf after all. Although this is a TV show it feels more like a cinematic epic movie tbh. |

| Fern is so smol. I wanna to smush her cheeks so badly. |
| Another pleasant episode, I like seeing her memories spread out so organically. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The soundtrack is just beautiful. Sometimes it gives me Violet Evergarden vibes, as expected of Evan Call's masterful composition. Another enjoyable episode. This series has a relaxing, melancholic, somewhat sad tone to it that I just absolutely love. |
 |
| This series really makes you think about the passage of time and that we'll eventually all grow old and die. This series doesnt make it depressing though which is nice. Honouring the memory of Himmel. I doubt we'll see the dwarf pass away as they tend to live longer lives. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This is so melancholic |
| This was so pretty and the English dub VAs are really good -- Fern's especially worked well |
