If you google 葬送のフリーレン this is one of the first things you'll see Translation  Within Japan it's treated as exactly what it is, just another isekai anime. Across Asia it's completely unheard of (not an exaggeration). And in the west it's only the fanboys who can't shut up about it. And yet I hear "Frieren is a cultural phenomenon". I am also seeing a lot of "the director isn't returning" and "how could he pass on Frieren" and it honestly makes me cringe. Firstly, with due respect Saitou is not an "esteemed" animation director. He only has two things to his credit, "Bocchi" and "The greatest most spectacular masterpiece" both of which had mediocre animation. Secondly and more importantly, "The greatest most spectacular masterpiece" is not a big deal. Fanboys are acting as if it's Demon Slayer which would have animators running on fours to be part of. Doing another season would've only added a +1 on his portfolio for successfully leading a project. "There's a small cult worshipping me on the other side of globe" isn't going to booster his career in any way. If anything, the staff must be scratching their heads as to what is even going on overseas. And I know some fanboy mod is going to lock this thread for whatever random rule they come up with, because God forbid anyone says anything against this "masterpiece". |
| Bruh called Frieren an isekai and expects to be taken seriously. |

| I blame the Anime Mods for not giving both Frieren S1 and Look Back the "Award Winning" tag immediately after they won this year's Tokyo Anime Awards Festival because I'm now unsure if this thread is pure ragebaiting or ignorant. |
| First of all, Frieren is not an isekai. (what even made u think that?) Second of all, just cuz people are curious about what overseas fans like about it doesn't mean it's not popular in Japan. It literally won 1st Place in Tokyo Anime Award Festival. Ofc it's just a simple award show but even the blu-rays sold really well. Also, Frieren ranks really well in the most popular streaming services in Japan like D-anime store: Just go to any anime merch store in Japan nd u will be able to grasp it's popularity. The manga is currently one of the top sellers for Shounen Sunday. Also, why do u even care so much? |

Mando727 said: but then I realized you called Frieren an isekai Headpatts said: "isekai" frieren Yes it is, drop the "technicality" shield It is literally not. "Isekai" means other world. It explores the themes of a character delving into a world that they are not familiar with. Frieren is born and knows of the world she is in. Every fantasy anime isn't isekai cuz by that logic every anime that shows a fictional world would be an isekai. Have you even watched the show tbh? |

The merch for it is everywhere, it's not just "another isekai" for them Subxxxx1 said: Also, Frieren ranks really well in the most popular streaming services in Japan like D-anime store Sure thing it's popular in Japan the same way Isekai genre is probably the most popular genre in Japan right now. But no one is calling it "The Greatest Anime Ever" in the same way no one would call KonoSuba the greatest even tho it took over Japan at one point. Seeing how much western fanboys worship it is going to shock anyone.

| Frieren isn't the most popular anime, but it's the most liked one per viewer, that's why it reached the top score on most anime ranking websites. |

| Frieren isekai? is that a doujin? |

how op felt writing the most shit take ever to exist |
Captain-577 said: Subxxxx1 said: Frieren is born and knows of the world she is in A world where characters are based on character stereotypes taken from classic RPGs. A world where magic works on a Mana system which is taken from classic RPGs. Why does that remind me of a certain genre which is very popular these days? Troupes and genres and completely different things. Those are fantasy troupes u will see in most fantasy stories. Also, those r not RPG settings. RPG r role playing games and they don't necessarily have to be in a fantasy setting. Isekai necessarily doesn't need to be classic. It can also be a sci-fi or anything unique. The concept of magic spells and books have existed way before isekai. They r fantasy troupes not isekai troupes. Just cuz most uninspired isekai take place in a copy pasted fantasy world doesn't mean these troupes become a part of isekai. Isekai literally translates to "otherworld". Also, Frieren's world follows a mkre classic fantasy setting rather than modern fantasy trends in the anime community. |

| @Captain-577 When you private your list, you have no room to talk, plus you hardly have a list anyway, funny ragebait though. People need to learn to ignore the clowns trying to make them mad though. |
 |
| The OP is just coping gng 😭 he tryna prove frieren is Isekai cuz it the characters can use magic and they need mana and stuff like thats not typical fantasy plot, why hate frieren for some attention gng. |
| You know what's funny? Every time I see contrarians talking about Raging Frieren fanbase this or toxic fanboys that, overrated yadda yadda... And yet, like 7/10 new threads I see created about Frieren consists of ragebaiting, an alt account trying to create an argument as to why it's overrated or something that seems written with ChatGPT. Oh, and 2 out of the other 3 threads are about news related to the franchise. Honestly, the haters are giving more online traction to Frieren than its so called raging fandom. And it's hilarious to see. |

Bruh called Frieren an isekai and expects to be taken seriously.
| @Piromysl True, we all know it's a native isekai, silly OP. |
| isekai frieren would go harder than the frieren we actually have. |

| You can't lead off with calling a high fantasy an isekai and not expect to be called a moron lol |
