I'm not much of an anime guy but I love medieval fantasy, and this one caught my interest.Is it worth giving a watch as an anime outsider?
As long as you can handle a story that takes its time and doesn't mindlessly rush to the next battle every episode like most other shows, yes.
>>273465987Ask on >>>/wsr/ fucking tourist.
>>273465997Works for me. I really like fantasy settings with unique premises. From what i've read this one is about existentialist dread right?
>>273465987Eh, being inoffensive is probably its only strength. There are better anime to choose from.
>>273465987If what you want is sincere medieval fantasy you have far better options. Go watch Lodoss War. Frieren is modern Japanese video game world fantasy that's practically a modern world except people dress like knights. Except the ones who dress in modern fashion.
>>273466041Mostly in the first half
>>273466529That sounds good I'll check it out.Is there any anime that is similar to Game of thrones with it's dark Fantasy nature? Outside of Berserk of course, already read that.
>>273466529I wish they'd remake this and give it the plot it desperately deserved with just the main cast. Love this series, but trying watching it was literal hell.
>>273466529>lodoss > the final war fight is a literal slideshowThat was such a disappointment.
>>273465987yes, you'll like iti personally found the world sparse and empty, kind of like violet evergarden and spy x family despite it being so beautiful
>>273466041for about 4 episodes
>>273466041>From what i've read this one is about existentialist dread right?not really. it's mostly about an immortal learning to value life and the people around her. you could say it has a running theme of people pondering meaning in existence.
>>273466041It's about elf autism. The other characters also have autism for undisclosed reasons. Then they randomly have shonen battles in the second half.
It's good as fuck if we're being honest, I cried like 8 times
>>273465987Meh, you can try. It's trite and has nothing to say, characters are the usual boring shonen stereotypes.Hypetards call it deep because it's slow, but it's neither deep nor slow (i guess it's slow compared to your average schizo battleshounen...)
>>273465987It's mediocre. The best part happens right at the beginning and then quality plummets. It doesn't help that it has overused tropes and a generic setting. The execution on the start isn't particularly good either, if you've seen drama like Clannad or Violet Evergarden then this won't work too well.
>>273466529Great use case for a remake.
>>273469075It basically turns into fighting and less of a human drama than i expected.
>>273465987>worse shounen than JJK>worse fantasy than MIA>worse drama than VEG>worse adventure than MIATop tier midwit anime though. It pulls the right tropes at the right moment to herd the cattle.
