| It was really sweet how fern acts like frierens mother and even frieren calling her mother as fern wakes her up to watch the sun getting up. It was very nice to see frieren meeting her old comrade eisen again and them going on a little adventure to help eisen find flammes records. The reveal that flamme was frierens master was crazy and the scene where frieren opens the door to the old records of flamme was really cool. Though i have to say that i find it really funny and cool how many german words are used for places and as names. |

| Finally finished the 4 episodes pack they aired at once. What I can say is there's a potential of a masterpiece somewhere, but right now it is extremely overshadowed by 2 main reasons: 1 - The "pacing" of the story. With 4 episodes, the show barely gave content that makes me want to look forward to continue watching. It does have interesting themes, but usually they're only explored in two or three scenes that together has 4min long on a 24min episode, and the exploration is pretty bare-bones. It did finally gave a "goal" but it's one of those the author could really ignore and just fuck around creating nothing. If it wasn't for the public reaction I'd have no motivation to continue the show. 2 - The whole "cute fanservice" trying to replace actual personality and plot reasons as to why the viewer should even give a shit about the main characters. I know most of the anime community disagrees with me since most of them are drawn by this design / are artists that only care about how cute someone is, but for me that's just cheap and it doesn't make me more interested on the show. In theory I do like the idea of characters showing less emotions since anime a lot of times exaggerate them, but you must at least show something, even if it's with subtlety. Sangatsu no Lion is a perfect example on how you do this. It's definitely good to mention I love slow paced shows. Vinland Saga S2 is my AOTY for a reason. But as of now, Frieren isn't just slow, it's empty. |

| I can see why this is #1 now |
| Finally she could see the new year sunset... and now (after meeting Eisen, which is cool) they know where to go next...and that's a 10 years travel, the same they did back then to defeat the demon lord, damn. |
 |
| Why is Frieren so cuuuuuuutttteeeeeeeee |
| "Do you believe in gravity?" |
| The more I see of Fern, the more I like her. Her pouting had my heart clenching. |
| I would have rather preferred to see a series with Fern and Eisen and perhaps with someone else going on an adventure, but without Frieren. She's really insufferable with how she acts like. Again, she's circa 1000 years old, yet her behaviour has changed minimally since she was Flamme's apprentice, it seems. I wish we could see less Frieren, but more side-characters, as much as bizarre it may sound like when talking about an animated series about Frieren, lol. I don't think Frieren deserves to have an opportunity to talk to Himmel's ghost. No hard feelings or anything like that. I just feel it'd ruin the whole premise of griefing and moving on, seeing that some things cannot be seen as granted. Or perhaps I expect too much from this show. If it will happen, of course. |
| This is really having a slice of life pace. I did not even notice that 10 minutes has gone in part 1. They were just cleaning the sea shore, but it's related to something in the past. Frieren remembers that she failed to see a sunrise back when she was with her original party. Her sense of time is really different that what amazes people would leave her indifferent, snd this makes relating with her challenging. Her going to see the sunrise feels to me like penance in memory of Himmel. The second part where she met the dwarf, we learn that Frieren is at least 1000 years. We never know for sure if she is 2000 years old or older. We also learn a mild clash of ideas of the afterlife: whether it is nothingness or there is a Heaven. The corrupt priest phrased it in a way that calls upon Pascal's wager, that it is better to believe in Heaven than not. Overall, with all the flashbacks happening to events we did not witness, I can say that Frieren is good in a different way. Many highly rated anime, especially is they're shounen, rely too much on fight scenes and action, a sense of danger, and moving through the plot. Frieren the anime relies more on contemplation and the sense of nostalgia. |

| What a beautiful episode this was. I cant get over the amazing atmosphere of this show along with the amazing animation style. It all works so well together and its so very beautiful. Frieren and Fern in that town was nice. Them cleaning up the shores in time for the new years festival. That was kind of them and it was nice seeing. Them having there little talks well cleaning up all the wood along with burning it. It was kind. I agree with Frieren aswell, waking up in the morning is a true struggle. The festival was nice and that sunrise was very beautiful. The animation was spot on, and its nice seeing more flashnacks to the old group. Seeing them again is always nice even though we had them for such a short time i like them all so very much especially Himmel. Though the rest are nice aswell. Im glad Eisen is still doing well and the flashback to the group at his parents graves, having a discussion about heaven was nice and it was nice hearing all there thoughts. The design of the graves was very unique as well and when they cut back to the present and Frieren and Fern showed up and we saw that the graves eroded a bit was a nice detail to add. Frieren helping out Eisen is kind and it was cool to watch them explore the woods looking for Frierens old masters grimoire with a spell that could let her talk to the dead. Also the confirmation that Heaven or a place like it does exist. This was a nice set up episode to tell us what Frieren goal is now and what her destination is. I cant wait to see Himmel once more after Frieren and Fern make the long 10 year journey. This is gonna be one amazing adventure and i am all here for it. RIP Himmel and Heiter  |

| We continue on our journey with Frieren and Fern... I think I see a pattern here, since Frieren doesn't really have a goal or destination she just stumbles around various villages and town collecting magic spells and helping others in need whilst reminiscing about her past adventures with the hero'sparty whenever the opportunity arises. But once in a while, Frieren will accept a long quest, not necessarily a hard quest but definitely laborious. The beach cleanup alone took over 3 months. A minuscule amount of time for Frieren but not Fern. Fern has become sort of a caretaker for Frieren to the point where Frieren depends on Fern for her livelihood. There ain't no way this bad habit can be fixed if she's been doing this since forever. Also, Fern has taken quite a sassy attitude to her master now because of this. Not particularly a pretty sight to see. Oh hell yeah, Eisen is back, and while their time together here was brief, Frieren managed to have a little adventure with Eisen to search for her former master's old grimoire. This is the result of the efforts both Eisen and Heiter made so that Frieren's regret could be abolished. Such kindhearted comrades. I like that scene when Frieren is unravelling her master's barrier, even those that died 1000 years ago knew Frieren enough to expect her to come searching for away to converse with the dead. Unfortunately, Eisen will not be coming along with them on their new journey but this time Frieren and Fern have a solid goal and destination. One that was once reached after 10 years of journey... Uh oh... |

| the nature of the timeline delta between the elf and her protege isn't as dynamic as the creators would have intended... |
| this one got the music the best of any episode so far and yes it's time for me to jump on the bandwagon and go ahead and rate this bad boy a 10/10. feels like I'm watching Peter Jackson's LOTR all over again |
| i like their relationship. fern clearly is fond of frieren despite her seeming cold |

| Frieren said the 10 years they spent adventuring doesn't even make up 1/100th of her life, so she lives up to more than a thousand! Damn. Even the dwarf has shown signs of aging. |

| Good girl off the bat. They stay annoyingly long in these mundane places for almost no reason at all. They are moving and waisting very small quantities of wood at a time for the level of magic it has been clearly established they are capable of. Deku did this faster with no magic. She couldn’t care less about seeing the sun rise and this is the reason she wants to see it. Wow how quirky of her. She is yucking others Yums. Magic can’t obzerve the souls of the dead. They will not stop bringing up how corrupt this guy is. Proof? He also just convinced his friends to practice religion in like 2 sentences. It is slightly implied that the girl with eternal youth is a little insecure about her age. Proof? He eats sticks and runs on water. All magic started with fairy tails. She is over 1000 years old. Heaven exists implying there is a correct religion. The demon king lives in heaven. Finally there is a goal. We braved. She doesn’t even care about her prentice. She thinks things that die are a waist of time. 10 years is an insignificant amount less than 100th of her life. Meaning her life is nearing its end as she is now over a thousand years old. They really can’t talk to this guy without calling him corrupt. Proof? He is so witheringly weak and frail that he can only run on water and lift massive Bolders. |
| She is very sloth XD |
