After seeing the high rating and hearing so much praise of this anime, I feel inclined to watch it. My problem is the mc is an elf who just looks unaesthetic imo and it’s hard for me to get over that. Elf stuff just looks weird and it feels like it appeals to a weird audience. Is it actually good enough for me to watch it? Does it have quality fights, if any?

What kind of logic are you using when you say that ppl who watch or like Elf are weird?? Lol as for your answer Freiren is far from being a “perfect” show but as far as fantasy stories go it’s the best thing out there so if u are the type of person who only likes high quality fights then no it’s not for you as that is not the main focus of the series it’s about rediscovering life and understanding the preciousness of Time from the perspective of a character who’s very detached to things like human connections as Elves live for a very long time

In my opinion yes, it’s a good fiction, it’s not one of my favourite ones though, but still worth watching. However, if you don’t like the main character or the Fantasy genre that’s ok, afterall it’s just your opinion and it’s valid. I still suggest you to give it a chance, but if you’re not into Fantasy stories or something, you probably won’t like it

yeah I agree, just because I like Fantasy stuff am I considered “weird”? that’s such nonsense

To me it's a high quality fiction, not my best personal anime Ive ever seen but I love everything about it; the story, the adventure, the characters, the settings, the atmosphere etc.

While this anime does have quality fights, if you solely want to watch this anime expecting action and fighting scenes every single episodes you would be disappointed, this isn't battle-themed anime.

I think you should just keep watching to see if it's really for you, if not simply drop it if you want, plain and simple :)

Genuinely what are you talking about? Are you saying that the character design is putting you off?

Is that a problem you're concerned about? That some of the people who like something can be weird and that means that it can't be enjoyable for you? Also still no clue what you're talking about.

Fights aren't what this show is about. Don't go into it for that.


Personally I really liked Frieren and I think you should probably give it a try if you even just like anime at all. I don't think there's much to dislike although I can't say I agree with the score it has here on MAL. Anyway it's not like anyone is holding you at gunpoint to watch the whole thing. You can just drop it if you can't come to enjoy it.

It's a very good show IMO
Also, that claim that Frieren's design is unappealing is demonstrably false.

If you decide to watch Frieren: Beyond Journey's PEAK for fights, you will be very disappointed, lmao.
As for it it's good quality fiction, yes. Good fantasy? Yes. it's a peak anime, same goes for the manga.
But going by what you wrote, I don't think you will be able to get into it.
I may be wrong though. It's all up to you.

in my opinion, this show is a masterpiece. I know it looks like I am hard glazing right now, but trust me. Only smart people can actually truly understand this anime and why it's so great.
The plot, slow pacing, world building, characters, and lessons. it's just so peak.

This is not your typical fantasy or shounen, and don't think of it that way.

I swear people have a vendetta to hate or go against Frieren. Half of what I just read was contrived nonsense. Go watch a Shounen and call it a day if you’re looking for those kind of holes to poke at as to why you don’t want watch.

Or maybe try 1 to 2 episodes first? Rather than running to a thread and constantly going “I don’t get it”. If you don’t want to watch it after that, don’t. No one is forcing you to.

The MC being an elf is the least of its problems tbh. I recommend it but I don't think it's as good as people say. Imo of course

I don’t know how to respond to this idiocy if you’re looking for a show that has a ton of fights than it is not for you, but if you wondering if the show is worth watching yes it is by far of one of the best shows that’s come out in years

my second favourite fantasy genre anime(first is made in abyss), the fights are good and aesthetically pleasing when they come up but it isn't really about that, i suggest just checking it out, some say it has a slow start so you may or may not get into it at the get go, push through and see if you like it, i suggest giving it the 5 episode rule(its what i do) and see if you are into it.

What does her appearance have to do with how well written the story is?

Either it’s a good story or not a good story.

A character’s appearance might be visually unpleasant or annoying, but despite that, the story itself can be well written and enjoyable.
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.

The elf appearance part and how it attracts "weird" audience is just full of idiocy
