I don't know why, I just can't believe many people like this anime. I've finished this but didn't like it. It's does not bring any new things in the anime sphere. I also don't personally like frieren. No hard feelings.

I am also surprised so many people watched it cuz I would think a lot of anime fans would drop it since it's much slower and better written than most anime, but I'm glad it's popular.
Only thing that makes me upset is that I enjoy it in a completely different way than most fans, and half of those fans I think are real trashy people (but even beyond those ones I just see the series very differently than 95% of fans despite loving it just as much)

In what way do enjoy it that’s different than most fans?

@SoulessAnime That's very paradoxal. Might be the only anime I've rated 10/10 and dropped it at episode 12.

It is not an anime that stands out in anything, but it lacks nothing, it needs nothing, it has a lot of history, good animation, good characters and it is also a calm anime for me

as for me, it's just OK anime? yeah, the animation is pretty good, and the anime makes good jokes, but everything else is just normal:/
i can understand your position, and I also don't understand why this anime is so popular

The consistent Animation quality plays a huge role in it's successful rating if that's what you're questioning. There are plenty of feel good anime story mediums out there but none with the animation this show has.

I thought the story was well enough.

Yeah, you don't like an Anime that everybody else agrees to be pretty damn fantastic.

In what way do enjoy it that’s different than most fans?

i don't really ship any characters. Stark and Fern are cute, but I actively would not enjoy Frieren falling in love with Himmel. I think her growth should be due to Himmel, but like, I would prefer this journey doesn't end with her speaking to him again. I also don't like Ubel and Land as a ship because Ubel is a bad person, but people seem to like Ubel beyond just her writing

the fans I don't like are the Kon fans who found this show. I thought the demons were interesting, but now they annoy me simply because bad people like the way they were done (even though I think the author did a good job)

Honestly, Frieren might not reinvent the anime wheel — and that’s fine. Innovation isn’t always about flashy concepts; sometimes it’s about refining a genre to near-perfection. Frieren is a masterclass in subtle storytelling, emotional maturity, and character growth through introspection. Not everything needs to explode or scream “new!” to be great.

What really blew my mind is that this is the only anime I’ve seen where two of my best friends — who are polar opposites in taste — agreed it was amazing. One is into deep, philosophical, slow-paced slice-of-life or comedy. The other? Hardcore shounen fan through and through. I've never seen them love the same show at the same time, and yet Frieren pulled that off. That kind of cross-demographic appeal says a lot about how well this story resonates.

So yeah, maybe it didn’t hit for you, and that’s okay. But saying it brings “nothing new” just because it isn’t bombastic misses the point. Sometimes, what’s new is how deeply and quietly something can move you.

Oh, I know why.

It's simply going against the grain.
They want to be special. They're looking for that validation. They want to be noticed and talked about.

So whatever is popular they then go and have the exact opposite opinion, to stand out. It's not even really about the Anime.

Not saying OP is like this, necessarily, but a lot of people here are just doing that.

You guys are honestly something else. I’ve seen this same recycled take clog up MAL nonstop. Does repeating it endlessly actually accomplish anything? Or is this just a desperate cry for attention? Well, here you go. Consider this my generous donation to your daily dose of engagement. Hope it was worth it.

i really like your top picks but saying fmab is not even comparable is just uncultured, both shows are 10/10 imo

When it comes to shipping characters it’s really not my thing unless there’s a love triangle and I’m rooting for one of the love interests. I know a lot of fans enjoy shipping but I just don’t follow any of it.

As far as the demons are concerned, I have no problem with them being pure evil. The scene with the young demon in the village had me feeling bad for a moment until she said what she said before disintegrating. I know there’s some controversy over the portrayal of demons in Frieren but again it’s something I don’t participate in debating.
