Preliminary (8/28 eps)
Frieren is a breath of fresh air at a time when anime seems to struggle with staying fresh while adhering to specific conventions. Frieren reinvents these conventions and presents them in its own unique way.

At first glance, Frieren may seem like a simple work, much like many others: mages, dwarves, knights, demons, an adventure... but the depth of the work is entirely different. Frieren offers a different perspective on things and poses challenging questions such as: What is the purpose of our existence? This work is not just an adventure aimed at defeating some boss, demon, god, or anything else; it goes deeper than that. The "enemy," so to speak, is the answer to these questions.

Frieren is not a work for everyone; the pace is rather slow, but it's suited to its world, and it's necessary to appreciate and understand the message this work conveys. I'm sure that many might have given up or considered giving up after the first 3-4 episodes, but hang on, you won't regret it! After watching the subsequent episodes, I'm confident that many of you will have a better grasp of this universe and what it has to offer. However, in my opinion, this work may not be enjoyed by everyone due to its somewhat "philosophical" nature. Many people prefer a clear objective like defeating the villain.
