why is it considered so good?
>>281854281because high fantasy setting is peak when done well
>>281854281because it is
>>281854318is there low fantasy?
>>281854281Because, and I quote, "is better than isekai", that's the bar people had at the moment it aired, though that's a false premise, this is better than some isekai, not all.
>>281854281worst series ever written
it has a little bit of everything and it does nothing. all of what it does is left in the air and presented as a fact of lifein that context it's a good and unique product tho. but shit is shit, no matter what food it comes from
>>281854281most of them watched episode 1 only
>>281854318>>281854339This implies the existence of middle fantasy
>>281854281Anyone that watched more than 10 episodes knows it's deeply overrated
>>281854469To be fair it was a really good first episode, but then it follows the exact same path of any isekai in existence, start off with a unique premise and then just focus on generic adventures.
>>281854281It was until the shitty naruto qualification act, when the author realized he could just milk the series forever now
>>281854281It does simple concepts emotionally, but very well. It's good at pacing its emotional punches.A lot of people complain about the mage test arc, but I think it was a nice change of pace that allowed the introduction of a few new characters and to show off just how far Fern has come and just how powerful Frieren is.
>>281854339Yes. High Fantasy is anything set in a world that is not Earth or related to earth in any way. Low Fantasy is a setting that is supposed to be in Earth's past or present with magical elements added in.
>>281854281Overrated for sure, but ticks enough boxes and is inoffensive enough that most people give it at least an 8.>>281854402Ah, yes, definitely worse than Mars of Destruction.
>>281855786so real. I just feel like not enough happens to give it a 9 or 10
>>281854281It is almost 100% 2D so it's a real anime.
Frieren had Violet Evergarden staff working on it, of course it was going to be amazing.
>>281855020Nah. I enjoyed seeing the different mages showing off their skills.
>>281854585It might be a bit overrated due to recency bias. But if you forget about numeric ratings and rankings and generalize into something less granular and simple like tiers, it is still one of the more high tier anime out there.By a long shot. If you want to do percentiles or something it's easily in the 99th percentile of anime. Personally I'd rate it quite high either way.
>>281854281idk
>>281854281It knew the #1 ingredient to make a popular anime, viable waifus
>>281854281
>>281854281For the same reasons kimetsu is considered good : classic setting but well executed, the pacing works for what it's trying to achieve, and there are no major faults in the world building or the magic system. Add to that some concepts that you don't normally see in mainstream anime and you get something that's not deeply unpleasant to read/watch, which is very rare nowadays. Also the whole discourse about demons on social media is hilarious and makes a lot of publicity for the show
>>281856265Yeah but Violet Evergarden was trash while Frieren is one of the best shows ever made.
>>281854281The high quality animation by Madhouse makes a great first impression but the writing and characters drags it down to a respectable 6/10. It's still fun to watch but keep your expectations low.
>>281854281Literally because it's *fine* and not a fucking isekai. Making it significantly better than almost all other anime.
>>281854281It's an NPC-core show.It sells the fantasy of artistry and deep storytelling to drooling subhumans that are biologically incapable of experiencing actual art or actual deep storytelling.What distinguishes NPC-core shows from regular trash is that their fans are on the troon-level of reality denial.>>281858332 is a perfect example. Frieren doesn't have good animation, its OST is dogshit, its story is EXACTLY the generic fantasy slop, not even fantasy, but isekai, because it's factually and objectively an isekai show with vidya mechanics and so on, and it's the absolute antithesis of what Ghibli movies are (I don't even think Ghibli is good, but it still exists in a different universe from slop like Frieren).Frieren is "as close to a genuine as can exist in reality" 1/10 show, and its fans are genuinely not human. Ironically, the demons from Frieren are a good metaphor for its own fanbase.
>>281854281Because it has the ability to evoke emotions.
>>281859431Name me 5 fantasy anime that are better?
Demons are so hot right now
>>281854363>>281859400It's literally native isekai, a subset of isekai. thus it is isekai. you can tell because it has swords and socery and elves and dwarves and probably there's hobbits somewhere.
>>281859511Newfren, that is just called high fantasy or tolkienesque.
>>281859431>Frieren doesn't have good animation, its OST is dogshitAnd this is why Frieren haters often out themselves as delusional at best and certified retards at worst.
>>281854339yes, it's sort of similar to High Magic/Low Magic ruleslots of magic with clearly defined rules is High Magic, little magic with few rules is Low MagicHigh Fantasy is somewhere with lots of fantastical elements, either in the world, the people or the creatures, Low Fantasy is somewhere more grounded but some fantastical elementsFrieren is High Magic/High FantasyLord of the Rings is Low Magic/High FantasyGame of Thrones is Low Magic/Low Fantasy
>>281859562It runs on isekai tropes, or in other words steals most of its worldbuilding from Dragon Quest.Hence it is an isekai.
>>281859431>its story is EXACTLY the generic fantasy slopNow I know you're full of shit
Frieren ticks all the boxes for everyone's taste. It does everything just good enough that it looks flawless
>>281854281because frieren makes my peepee hard
>>281854281because the characters act bored and detached at all times in every high stakes scene which impresses normalfags who have never seen that beforeunfortunately when frieren goes :| i also go :| and then i turn the show off. 1 star out of 5
>>281859949but she also goes
ITT: Contrarians grasping at straws to hate popular thing
>>281854281much like everything on /a/, most people hate it, wont say why its "objectively shit", but wont stop talking about it
its naruto for girls and naruto was good too.
>>281860067>naruto for girlsPretty much
>>281858530retarded kimetsutroon
>>281854281Covid tourists praising every new piece of media
native isekai
>>281860319berserk does get an annoying gamelike magic system in the last half, with that awful loli. i don't want magic to have rules, i want it to be awe-inspiring and mysterious like in lord of the rings. wish miura had died before putting lolicon isekai bullshit in the series
>>281854281It doesn't have an ending yet so people can still pretend that all the setup will pay off.
>>281854281It's not completely shit, but that's not really the reason.The true answer is that it hit the algorithm and entered a feedback loop where it got more popular because it was getting popular and normalfags think that if something is popular then it's automatically good and can't be anything else.
Remainder that the guy doing all the Frieren threads feels compelled to do so because he thinks that if you don't have a perma-general about something then it's "forgotten"
>>281860067>>281860198Not sure if very retarded praise or bait
>>281854469>>281855020Most of the (oversized by normalfags) audience didn't have the attention span to reach the tournament arc. Half that did think it will get better. The other half knew it was over.
I love how much she triggers dimwits, each coming up with more and more ridiculous theories backed by zero proof about why a very good show is considered very good. This will only exacerbate once S2 drops.
baby's first fantasy animealthough I haven't seen it, it might be as great as everyone says, but I really doubt it, it's lauded as good by most normalfags that barely care about anime
