| I am not the biggest fan of the anime, but the fanart and hentai is absolute fire. |
 |
| It's overrated, but I understand why so many people love it to the point of it being the highest-rated anime. Simply put, Frieren does an excellent job of balancing various themes, ranging from romance to tragic moments, and from relaxing scenes to intense action sequences. For example, a few months ago, I discussed this series with a friend who suggested that, in his opinion, Frieren should be tagged as Iyashikei. On the other hand, if you browse the Frieren sub-discussion forums, you’ll find that some people describe it as a battle (action) shounen. Yet Frieren isn't an action series or Iyashikei, yet it manages to evoke such diverse interpretations among its viewers. |
| i really dont get it as well, are ppl too lazy to find the overrated threads that already exist and comment on those ones instead of creating the same threads, copy and pastin the same points over and over again. I really dont get it, is it just me? |
So you joined MAL just to make this post. Makes sense. |

| Idk why people start to shit on any anime that reaches like top 5 highest rated or top 1 highest rated spots. FMA:B had it's #1 spot for so many years because it is actually overall amazing but you would still get people who hate on it for fuck knows why. I would say Frieren deserves it's spot not because it's the best anime ever to exist or it's the best piece of fiction, etc but because it has pretty much everything you would expect from this type of anime done magnificently. Also, you can recommend it to almost anyone of any age since it doesn't have certain things that would not be for everyone (gore, ecchi fanservice, etc.). My favourite anime isn't even in like top 100 highest rated list but to me personally, it's just that amazing even though I wouldn't recommend it to everyone and you don't see me telling it to others that it's the best anime of all time. |

how many times have you jcked off to them |
| And you will never get it. Imagine being this stupid that you can’t even get Frieren |
| Here is the real kicker… What do you think is “the best anime of all time?” I find that people who claim to not get it are basically biased for another style / genre of anime, and don’t even try to understand other people’s perspectives. One big red flag is the “surface level similarities” complaint, which means you didn’t even try to follow or pay attrition to the deeper differences that made Frieren unique from other anime, of the same genre and from other genres. The other red flag is “isekai anime is bad” complaint [ “lower tier isekai” ], which means that you have pre-bias against the isekai genre, but this genre has actually had some of the best anime in recent years. Basically, it boils down to your own personal opinion, which is just that, your own personal opinion, but there are millions of people around the world disagreeing with your comment. And don’t even try to claim I’m a zealot, I don’t think it is the best anime ever, but I disagree with all posts that read like yours. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| Ig it depends on what you like, if u we’re expecting smth rly exciting or thought provoking, then you set your expectations wrong. Frieren is abt the little things in life, atleast from my perspective it is. I had no expectations for this show and went in blind, which is prolly why I like it a lot. It even introduced me to Milet (well not rly I first heard her in Demon Slayer opening), and now she’s one of my fav musical artists along with TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, Yoasobi and Creepy Nuts, so I’m grateful for that too. |
 |
| You don't? Well, that's a shame. Lets accept the random guys on the internet wont always have the same opinion as you and move on with our lives. |
 |
| It's at the top for a reason. Lots of people resonate with it, and it's definitely not a mediocre show. And you said some other lower tier isekai shows are better than Frieren? Maybe you would like to share with us the names of those shows that you feel are better than Frieren? |
| No, Frieren is not another average fantasy anime, the plot is good even though Frieren focuses more on the characters and the message, Frieren's character is not "without emotion" and she is very easy to like because it is easy to identify with her situation and Frieren's storytelling is one of the best. I hope I helped you. |
| Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. |

| @Neterosan No point even trying to reason with them, they will double down to make their point seem valid but they were probably watching the show while scrolling Tiktok to keep their attention span alive and missed half of the scenes. In reality even without checking episodes I can remember so many moments when Frieren and other characters displayed many different emotions ranging from tears all the way to anger or silly fun. Frieren actually cries in the first and second episodes but people like this guy will call her "emotionless", now that I think about it this is so ridiculous that maybe it is bait and we fell for it. |

| I also found having Frieren and Fern, two very cold characters who don't show much emotion, as protagonists a bit odd. They often lack motivation and complain how bothersome everything is that it can become difficult to engage with the story. I generally really liked the scenes between Frieren and Fern as well as the ones between Fern and Stark with how they made the characters come out of their shell a bit more, but they were too few and far between to carry the anime for me. Frieren is not a bad anime of course - it has its emotional and comedic moments, it has great animations and music and has barely any drama which makes it a great comfort show - but I personally don't agree with the hype. Another major thing that threw me off with Frieren was its approach to fantasy. It kind of appears like a more grounded story that slowly introduces more information over time, but simultaneously I couldn't help but feel that it was extremely shallow that trying to puzzle together the lore just wasn't much fun. It often felt more like a collection of cool ideas that don't really fit together. The story seems to get better further into the manga at least. |

| @TransferUser Dude, do you have any proof other than "it seems so to me"? |
| What an original and unexpected thread about "why Frieren is so popular" and what a coincidence the account was created very recently. |

I don't want to be elitist and claim, that you don't appreciate it only because you don't watched very much, and you are not experienced weeb like I am. Of course, I respect your opinion like every other, even though I totally don't agree with you. But still I recommend to rewatch it after few years, when you watch more series, especially fantasy. I can even recommend some, if you want to.
| @Memowynekromanta You should improve your troll detection skills if anything. |
