| Given the overwhelming popularity of Frieren and how she's resonated with fans of all ages, I have to wonder: Will there ever be another elf character as iconic as Frieren? Do you think there’s potential for another elf in the future to reach that level of recognition and depth, or has Frieren set the bar too high? |

| Will Ferrell is more iconic than Frieren even if he's not a real elf. |
| その目だれの目？ |
Ahem, have we forgotten about the ELF of ELVES that all anime elves descend from and owe their lineage to. DEEDLIT  |
| Frieren didn't set the bar at all if we're talking about iconic anime female elves. Sure, she's popular and liked by many, but her impact on the market and overall "iconic" character is mogged by at least several characters of the past, with Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War standing on the top. So, in this regard, nope, Frieren didn't even reach standards represented by, say, Deedlit or Pirotess. Again, it doesn't mean she's a bad anime elf. She's alright, but she's just one of many elves appearing from time to time in anime, and receiving usually temporary popularity, without leaving much impact on the medium as a whole. |
Frieren might be popular but Im sure any of these elves alone has helped more people in what's truly important than Frieren  |

| @Deknijff So who are they, what show? |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| I mean, how wide of a scope are we talking here? from anime alone, maybe not. but among fantasy characters in general... legolas has got her beat by a long shot. |
can't yuck my yum  |
How could she be when her character isn't even the target audience literally? |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |

@Absurdo_N Youkoso! Sukebe Elf no Mori e is like the full hentai version of Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. |
| LOL, thanks guys, time to go on an elf diet. |

| "Will there ever be an elf as iconic as Frieren?" Elda is much better and more iconic.  |

| "Will there ever be an elf as iconic as Frieren?" 1. I prefer Marcille. 2. Isn't Deedlit still the most iconic elf in anime? Like everybody is copying her, even Frieren. |
| My Otaku Elf Elda of Takamimi Shrine is better than yours frieren |
| Yeah bro she's called Galadriel. And Elrond. And Lúthien (personal favorite elf). And Arwen. And Feanor maybe although the lack of a film adaptation meand that he isn't as iconic. Gil-galad? Ok he isn't really mainstream. Legolas though? Legolas is pretty iconic. |

| Frieren is iconic in her own right, but I'm pretty sure that Deedlit [for anime] and Legolas [generally] are well more iconic. [still there aren't many male elves in anime, I need moore] [gonna post some male elves here] [Looking over my husbando list - I found well... not many] [Actual elves - William [Log Horizon], Thistle and Lycion [Dungeon Meshi], Meneldor [Saihate Paladin]] [honorable mentions, look like elves but aren't - Yuno Elf form [Black Clover] , Tamaki Amajiki [BNHA], Kusuriuri [Mononoke], Johnny [Space Dandy], Elf Avatar Eiji [SAO] [unless it's a spriggan] soo that's not a lot, if I could take a shot whenever I saw a demon/fairy/vampire with pointy ears and for a sec I thought it was an elf, I would be dead. so If any of u know any male elves, please share, so I could expand my collection XD |

| H*ntai elves are still more iconic and popular than frieren. Especially Discordia. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Will there ever be a ChatGPT bot as stinky as Dragevard? |
 |
| There already is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galadriel |

| I never even watched that show, so how would I know? |
| Idk, Emilia from Re:Zero, maybe? When I hear "anime elf" she's the first one that comes to mind. The second one is the drinker elf from Goblin Slayer. |
 |
| Deedlit first and that dark elf from Kuroinu second are the most iconic anime elves, everyone else has to respect the ranks. |
| Well, time goes on, new stories are told. Frieren showed to studios/producers that properly written and drawn elf can be popular and thus profitable. Maybe some mangakas noticed too. Since new stories are told, I think chances for new popular elf are high, problem is that there will be a group of people who will scream "this new elf is rip-off of Frieren", some will incline toward this too, thus this new elf will have a harder time. |
| I apologize for my mistakes, because it's not my native language. |
