All I know about the show is this one line by the elf girl:


Mind you I haven't watched anime in months, but I the elf girl seems like a pretty motivational character to me.

It's a really good show. Everyone should watch it.

It also only has 3 episodes left in its season so if you want to wait 3 weeks you can watch it all at once.

This anime ain't nothing like the meme you've posted. In fact, Frieren is one of the most bland characters in her own show, lol.

As for your question, I think it's an anime worth of giving it a try. Good art and music, rather alright writing (for a shounen). However, first eps are slower than a nosebleed, so keep this in mind.

@Mykasan She's rather static, if you ask me. It wouldn't be a problem if the show's premise was dedicated to such things, but Sousou no Frieren starts as a show meant to show gradual, dynamic change of the main character due to circumstances from the very first episode... but it reverts to status quo in the second episode and stays pretty much like this for the rest of episodes released so far, lol.

Mediocre writing take, even going by shounen standards, but to each their own. At least there are other, arguably better written characters than Frieren, in this show.

And well, if "uwu face", moe, feetservice, or whatever similar is meant to be crucial in defining a character, then I think "bland" was a good word for describing Frieren. ;D

It is good so far, yes. Though I don't thing it's a show everyone would enjoy.

@Kruszer While it may feel like a hit or miss type of show at first (so either liked or disliked by a viewer, depending on their taste and expectations), I think it's still versatile enough to even be considered as a gateway anime. You know, one of anime recommended to someone willing to experience the medium.

Yes. You should've watched it earlier tho. This meme really did happen but most of the time frieren either has an uwu face, sleepy, or being consumed by Himmel flashbacks. But its definitely worth watching

Acording to MAL it's "THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME" so it should be better than every single other show you've watched...

You are lucky, many approaches the anime for the first time after following the viral videos of Moiichan's Frieren cosplay at TSE Taiwan 2024.

Considering you haven't watched anime for months I would advise you to hold off on watching Freiren, because from what I have heard it is a very slow-paced show. And that is the reason I have not watched it too. I too am not watching anime nowadays.

No you shouldn't. You better should do what Frieren suggests. (don't ban me mods. just paying my "respects" to hype tards and their pathetic bait threads)

This encapsulates all the crybabies that want to dogpile on the show and say it's not worthy of it's success.

As for your question OP, yes. Absolutely you should watch it. People will mention it's a slower paced show, but that isn't to say it's inheritly bad or anything. I never understand why people will shit on a show for being slower paced. So what?

The phrase, said by Frieren the elf, becomes complete with its context.

Read the synopsis. If you have empathy with the story, watch the anime series. It is very well produced.

Season 2 already on my anime wish list!
