Is it just me or do anime blockbusters these days have more vibes of the 00s and early 10s than of this years? Or is it just because of duckling syndrome that I associate all the anime that pleasantly impress me with those years? The new OP just seemed pretty old fashioned to me, in a good way.

I personally find the new OP pretty generic and definetelly less fitting for the series.

I'm just gonna say that i fucking hated the first op so whatever comes next will be better for sure. (i really like Yoasobi but they definitely weren't a fit for Frieren)

@Rocknblock ED1 was soo much better than OP1.
The happy tones of OP1 meshed so badly many times when the episode had something dramatic going on.

@Playcool I really loved ED1 one too. And yeah, you pretty much summed up why OP1 is garbo. I'd add that the visuals were pretty subpar and uncreative and the direction felt really bland which is a shame considering how good the show is.

This arc was peak in the manga IMO, but I know a lot of people prefer Frieren's shorter stories, so I wonder how this will go over.

@malvarez1 I think if action scenes are done right then this will be a great arc to watch. As an Anime only i am very excited.

So happy that something like this was made . It's a breath of fresh air from the cringe shonen trend with pointless drama and deaths .

Friern is a great example of an anime that has fantasy tropes without feeling cliche. Can't wait for the second half.
