Idk why but I can’t get into this

ignore the fanboys. if it isn't for you it isnt for you. I've been watching anime for a really long time as well. probably longer than a lot of users on this site (just because I'm old that's all) people swear by fmab. but I dropped it on like episode 15 back in the day. I think it's the most uninteresting thing I've ever seen. I didnt like hxh as much as everybody else. it's okay man. dont force yourself to like something. enjoy what you enjoy and be happy! anime is to be enjoyed.


also I dont reccomend interacting with the people on this site much. not many of these people are in it for real discussions.

I’m the same way, I do like it and I want to finish it and there plenty of aspects of the show I like a lot as well, but tbh I’m not getting the major amount of hype it’s definitely not a favourite which is shocking/upsetting since it was one I had on my MAL list for a good while and it was one I was excited about airing and yet I’m still only just going onto the 7th episode 😅🥲

As someone who rated frieren 10/10 and also consider it one of my favourite anime of all time, I do think that this anime is not for everyone and that is perfectly fine. If you do not feel the urge to continue, just dont and watch something else, the other episodes dont stray from the formula. I have the same feeling with an Attack on Titan personally, where I have no urge to watch it further.

For me, Frieren is one of the few shows that gets the original idea of "elves" and its theming about time passing, the interaction with the characters and the beautiful composition and animation makes this anime top-tear for me. But I also think it is somewhat niche and am still surprised about its rating/popularity today by other anime fans. I do think it deserves it, but that does not mean it clicks with everyone.

@kaleannie see, I really like frieren! I just am struggling with continuing for some reason and wanted to know if anyone was experiencing something similar. The show is fantastic!

@Kloonker-Koonker Perhaps, as a new member of the community, you may not be aware of how bothersome these threads can be. There are already many such threads, and what’s most frustrating is that some people assume that those who enjoy this anime are simply following the hype or a famous YouTuber’s opinion, rather than having their own genuine interest.

idk about you
but I feel like I watched two minutes of it and the ep already gets finished

So what do you exactly want to hear from us ??? You didn’t even say what you didn’t like about the anime. You legit don’t know why you don’t like it either. If you don’t like it just don’t watch it. People who like the show will say watch it. The other ones will say drop it. Will the opinion of other people change yours? It’s one of the most unnecessary posts I have seen so far on MAL.

@Lonelygutsclone yeah.. so many of these people are just trolls or get offended because I don’t like something the same as them.

Same i don't understand 😢 i need subway surfers and tiktok on my 2nd monitor just to power through an episode! I wait for the epic action scenes i keep hearing about and Stark's journey of overcoming fear in battle 🔥🔥 should i put it on 2x speed or just search for tiktok edits?

No need to be so rude with them and call them “weird”. They seem like a positive person just questioning something isn’t clicking with them with this series, yet they can appreciate that it is a good show.

@Neterosan ehh, so many people watch Frieren because they saw an edit on tiktok where there was a fight, then they are disappointed because there is not as much of the fight as they would like xD If you are only interested in the fight, I advise you to abandon this anime, why bother anime that you have absolutely no interest in?

there are better slice of life anime out there, and while I do think the production is really good, there is simply nothing outstanding about the story, message, or characters. I am still comfortable with calling it a decent anime, but if you're not into it maybe you should let it rest. to each their own!

I am episode 20 and still not a fan. I gave up trying to like it and decided to just join the ride with everyone else. Doubt that I will be watching more seasons of this. I mean, it looks and sounds beautiful, and it's generally a well-made series. Even as someone who is into slow burners and slice if life-sh shows, I still find this boring for the most part, and I couldn't bring myself to care about most of the characters. I like Stark because he is more expressive than the rest of the characters, and I find his reactions more relatable and understandable.

P.S. A large portion of the fanbase is also not helping by calling everyone who doesn't like this a "child who is only looking for mindless shonen battles". They remind me of Vinland Saga fans.

@Noelle43 Well, Frieren is not a slice of life to begin with. It's a fantasy shounen anime that takes a more realistic way than most shounen anime. Realistic in a way that it valued those useless everyday life things that most shounen will probably ignore..

@KyouKaiTen oh well it might just be a difference of opinion, but I feel like the very definition of slice of life is "valuing the - otherwise ignored - everyday life things"
