Normally a story, anime or movie whatever has a MC with a goal. They want to get stronger, or they want to explore, or solve a problem or something. What is the point of Frieren? She wants to experience what its like to have friends or some shit?The characters are like cardboard cut outs - I dont remember any of their names, they haven't overcome any real challenge or developed in any way. That purple haired frumpy bitch, the apprentice, what is her purpose?There's not even any dynamism in the relationships. Theres no flirtation between the males and females; they're neutered, asexual creatures. there's nothing between frieren and her apprentice either, no indication that these people have been travelling together for years. No emotion.No one has a nice physique in this anime; there is no fan service, no tits, no thigh, nothing, probably bc women aren't capable of understanding beauty of form, see list of famous female artists. the moonface on this bitch, damn.I guess this just boils down to one thing; I shouldnt be surprised, its written by a womyn after all.The author is a personality crippled bore. Frieren is her self insert and "duh goddess" Is her ultimate Mary sue sona.
>>281886679>There's not even any dynamism in the relationships. Theres no flirtation between the males and females; they're neutered, asexual creatures. Wrong, the author made sure to include SPH and NTR
How come all these glorified D&D campaigns are written by women?
Yeah but I want to sex the elf and the fatty and the demon girl, how about them apples op bet you feel pretty stupid huh? Dumbass
>>281886679ChatGPT post
>>281886882Please fuck my wife
Oh look, another post by a tourist from /v/ seething about women and anime
>>281886679>That purple haired frumpy bitch, the apprentice, what is her purpose?She genuinely has no purpose
>>281886679>Normally a story, anime or movie whatever has a MC with a goalSo does Frieren. The only way you can have missed it is by not reading or watching the show at all.
>>281886679They hated Jesus because he told them the truth.
>>281886679yeah the worst part of it all is how dry everything is. characters literally dont show any emotion and act like nothing happened even when they are literally fucking stabbed. even the voice acting is intentionally directed that way to NEVER show any fucking emotion. anyone actually enjoying this is just being fucking pretentious thinking they're watching something deep. I'll tell you : NO. you're just watching a garbage shonen ripping off fucking to your eternity. this is no different than jjk. just because a promising director making it and Evan Call is doing the music doesnt make it a masterpiece. this is shit. the beginning part may be interesting but you'll get to magic exam arc where everything falls apart but i bet you'll still convince yourself you're watching a goddamn masterpiece. because that's what you are, a pretentious fuck who don't have your own taste or opinion. anyone defending this garbage show just want to feel superior to others that they're watching 'something different'. you'll literally eat shit just because its something different than what you usually eat
>>281886679My reaction to Frieren hate thread
>>281886679The mangaka has a very limited range. NO ONE would give a shit about this without a high-budget anime behind it. Remember that anime anout the spearwoman and the shota and their travels? Neither do I, but back then /a/ was gaga over it, and them promptly forgot it existed after it ended. Why? Because animation quality carried everything about it. That's Frieren.
>>281887178Okay, touristGo tell other losers on /v/ about your dogshit opinions because they might actually agree with you. After all, none of you have real opinions and just lash out as contrarians against good and popular series.
battletoddlers....
>>281886679then don't watch it. simple as.
>>281886679These two threads a day you make complaining about a show you haven't watched and don't understand are hilarious. I can't wait for January when your favorite shonenslop falls to #3 on MAL because Frieren Season 2 is the new #1.
>>281886859Frieren is fine. Dungeon Meshi on the other hand? Now THAT'S some hot garbage.
>>281886679To your eternity copycat
>>281886679It’s not that bad but it is overrated as hell. At it’s core it’s just a comfy travel series with a likeable main character, does it need to be any more than that?
>>281886679much like your posting
but i liked frieren
>>281887393Not even remotely true
>>281886679You know who else was hated for speaking the truth
>>281886679>No one has a nice physique in this anime; there is no fan service, no tits, no thigh, nothing, probably bc women aren't capable of understanding beauty of form, see list of famous female artists. the moonface on this bitch, damn.This is the main reason it's popularit's an industry plant to make more woke anime like this where no fanservice happen
>>281886679The weirdest thing about this series is how all the characters are emotionless, like everyone’s either an 80-year-old grandma or ChatGPT, no vitality, flat, uncanny. If it was just Frieren, fine. But when every character in this universe feels like that, it’s just bizarre. Not saying they need to be hyper-emotional like in the pic, but either way it feels off and unsettling.
>>281887315They clearly understand it since they take a contrarian stance to every point. You don’t bullshit about Frieren having no goal unless you know that there’s an explicit goal that gets set immediately, OP even tries to undermine the emotional reasoning for that goal with dismissive language. They understand it, but it triggers them because they are empty, friendless losers from /v/ who are terrible people. Positive messages in anime make them seethe, especially if the anime becomes popular and receives critical praise.

Are you going to post a twitter screencap next to express your childish sentiments?None of those things matter here so you expose yourself instantly trying to invoke the boogeyman for your echo chamber on /v/.
>>281886679Didn't read lol
>>281886679Have a ChatGPT response OP:I appreciate your perspective on the anime, and it's clear that you're looking for a different kind of experience compared to what "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" has offered so far. Different viewers have varied tastes, and it's totally okay if this particular anime doesn't resonate with you.It's essential to acknowledge that everyone has different preferences when it comes to storytelling and character development. "Frieren" might focus more on the emotional and interpersonal aspects of the characters rather than traditional action or challenges. The absence of fan service or specific character dynamics may contribute to a unique storytelling approach that may not be appealing to everyone.Criticism is a natural part of discussing any form of media, and it's completely okay to express your thoughts. If you find that the anime doesn't align with your expectations or interests, exploring other series that cater more to your preferences might be a good idea.Remember that each creator brings their own style and perspective to their work, and it's worth exploring a variety of anime to find what resonates with you the most. Mushoku Tensei and "Frieren" are different in their storytelling and themes, so it's understandable if the transition between them feels abrupt.Ultimately, the beauty of anime lies in its diversity, and there are numerous genres and styles to explore. If "Frieren" doesn't meet your expectations, there are plenty of other series that might better align with your preferences

frieren fans are just Mushoku tensei haters and isekai touriststhey flock to this anime because it has no fanservice and is "mature" (fanservice le bad)it's for outcasts who can't enjoy better isekais like Mushoku tensei (cuz it's full of le bad porn)maturity = women having no emotions and showing no nudity

How on earth do you not know Frieren's goal? It's laid out plainly in the text.
The author of Frieren is an otaku who never interacted with human beings.>>281887232>>281887565>le autistic, quirky elf is literally me
>>281888367Why is it that idiots who have no substantive argument always resort to accusations of self-insertion? I guess I answered my question with the question.
>>281888272>>281888737OMG SO QUIRKY
>>281889132>I have no argument, the post.
>>281886679I personally consider frieren to be the best anime ever made, but whenever someone like op comments this way about frieren, instead of giving my arguments and detailing why frieren is so superior to other shows, i first ask a question people like op and contrarians in general almost always disappoint with their answer, and that question is very simple: what in your opinion is the best anime ever made?You will realize that these kind of people not only struggle to answer but also if they do they name some of the most famous overrated anime ever. So whenever you find someone like op, just ask them what in their opinion is an example of an excellent anime, or just which anime is the best?
>>281889230Not OP but Yu Yu Hakusho.>>281889229Frieren is reddit.
>>281889333Ah, I see now that I'm arguing with a retard. Sorry to hear about your condition; it's incredibly unfortunate that your brain is incapable of functioning normally.

>>281886679It's no classic/One Piece
>>281886679>autistic seethingk
>>281886679As usual OP is wrongThis is not why Frieren is uninspired soulless trash.It does have a goal driving the story.But it's a vague excuse written on a post-it as part of the incredible twist of "What if we followed the immortal elf after the generic fantasy adventure?"Everything from that point is made-up on the go with no actual plan, and that's why it feels wrong.Past the smartass joke about typical fantasy tropes, there's no foreshadowing of future intrigue, no growing mystery beyond episodic adventure that add nothing to the grand journey.The story is slow vib / contemplative simply so it can be made to last without effort. Likely the reason it was so readily made an anime.The characters are introduced with sudden complex backstory only because they can't disturb the status quo.Frieren herself is overpowered, aloof, quirky & ""mysterious"" only so any action from her can be retroactively justified as some 4D plans involving memories older than any human characters. Ignoring immediate stuff because "that's no big deal when you live +1000y"Also you can keep your misogyny for yourselfIt is only different from male written isekai-harem in that it don't use a literal male otaku self-insert.>>281888541>The animation saved the worthless source material.I can easily guess why they chose this.It's slow so there's a lot you can cut, the actions there is can easily be animated to a higher standard without quality loss from the mangaIt mainly features comely girls so it will sell.And since the author is still making it up on the go, they can just wait until there's enough content to make more.

People really watch a show where characters don't have Looney Tunes levels of emotional expression and conclude they have no emotions at all.
Frieren and Serie are goddess-tier designed characters trapped in a boring slog of a manga/anime. Truly a shame.
>>281886679You're dumb.
>>281891399She doesn't feel right by elven standard either. More of a walking plot device than a character.

>>281886679You're overthinking it. Frieren is Medieval Dragon Ball Z written with the offset of a Wizardry party while also catering to Zoomers in the same manner that FMAB was for millennials.

>>281897777What’s funny is that as someone trying to learn how to write, I like to ask you guys as to what you think is actually GOOD writing, in a way with concrete examples that aren’t deliberately ironic or detached, but it never happens because you guys don’t actually think anything is good.

>>281886679Children cannot relate to adult stories.>>281888634>it's for outcasts who can't enjoy better isekais like Mushoku tenseiMushoku tensei was good in the first season, but it was nothing special. The second season was just boring, pointless bullshit where absolutely nothing happened. That's a big problem with all anime these days, they just can't move forward with their storytelling because they want a second, third, and fourth season."TBATE - The Beginning After The End" is the best example of how monotonous Anime has become.Is just another Isekai shit that Mushoku Tensei so brutally cloned that you can practically swap the video material 1:1 and you wouldn't even notice a difference.But people watch this crap anyway.>>281888634>maturity = women having no emotions and showing no nudityWhich only makes Frieren even more appealing. Frieren simply shows that the majority are fed up with the repetitive crap we are being fed today.
>>281898000Pet Elves.
>>281898425What people actually dislike isn’t the formula it’s the enslavement to moral law in JP media. Nine times out of ten when you see any manga or anime fail to deliver, ask any interesting questions, squanders a good setup, etc, it boils down to having to satisfy moral law. Protagonists can’t do anything or even have the APPEARANCE of doing anything that would be considering immoral by JP moral standards. That effectively destroys any sort of morally grey area from being explored. For example, Frieren. Why is Aura’s army empty suites of armor? Her magic has nothing to do with controlling pieces of metal, it’s about controlling people. Why empty armor? Because moral law prohibits Frieren from even the APPEARANCE of attacking innocents. Even though the narrative makes it clear Frieren was being non-lethal with the armors (clearly indicating that they’re supposed to be humans), but just the IMAGE of Frieren being violent with innocent people is not allowed. Once you learn to noice JP moral law you will see it EVERYWHERE. This is advanced JP media literacy most of /a/ is too low-IQ or not experienced enough to figure out on their own.

>>281886679OP, it seems you've never lost someone who was close to you that you regret having not spent more time with.Frieren's goal is to make up for that lost time by going to Heaven and communicating with Himmel if she can.
>>281902753Based things enjoyer.
>>281886679It's just boring and the comfy atmosphere wears off in the second half.
>>281909711nobody fucks serie.still, not all is lost, serie may fuck you if she finds you interesting enough.
>>281886679Frieren's fine if you dismiss the uninspired story and lackluster characters and treat it like your average shonen anime, it has a stellar animation going for it as well so it's easily enjoyable if you turn your brain off.
I just finished it, would say it's like 7.5-8 imo. All the good parts come from Frieren herself. Her autism, her hatred of demons, and the kindergarten-level existentialism philosophy coming from her learning to cope with short human lives. And the overall mood of the comfy adventure, but for some reason I wasn't feeling it that much the further it went. Probably because a lot of the episodes felt almost like a blatant fillers except they all are connected to the story every time, but sometimes it still feels like a a filler, and some of them were comfier than the other. I can't even pinpoint a single episode that is plain good or bad, it's more like each episode has great or bad moments here and there, but it never feels like there's enough of those great pieces.Almost all characters are boring cardboards, even Fern and Stark who are main characters could've used some actual development. Also holy shit Fern is even more autistic than a 1000 years old elf who raised her, except not in a good way.I really really liked the TDD way Frieren deals with demons and I wish there was more of it. All the other combat, it was okay, generic anime shounen battle. Last FvF fight was cool, even if mostly just carried by the really flashy explosions.The soundtrack was surprisingly mediocre.
>>281910039Clearly I must beat the first class mage exam, and when she interviews me I tell her how hot and fuckable she is
I enjoy elf.
>>281910062better put it in verse or something to be a bit different, she's probably very bored of hearing it.

>>281910374Yeah, I'm listening it right now and it's really good. Now I have no idea why the anime left such an impression about it.

>>281909754yes, and the weabs want to allow it, they get mad and defensive if you notice things.Anime is already being censored to deatha japanese told me in 1 year or 2 Japan will be under the control of Korea. Everything including anime will be korean SoloLeveling won aoty 2024 it's proof that anime is so dead.

>>281912427I want to bring total demon death to the world with Frieren
>>281886679Not reading all that. Sex with flat, short elves. That is all.

>>281912734>Sex with flat, short elves.You're straight
>>281886679Her goal is to repeat a journey that she didn't value enough while making it. It's a feeling you only understand later in life then something important is gone.
>>281912427It feels more like she's apathetic towards them in general. Just like bugs, she doesn't go out of her way to exterminate them, but she will step on one if she comes across it.
>>281910058I remember kept wanting Frieren to show some level of emotion beyond bored indifference and stoicism. Will she get mad that someone tried to pay her in yet another fake Flamme grimoire? Will she at least pretend to be pressured when going into combat, including with greater demons? Will she try to rebound onto one of the other characters after the 100th flashback of Himmel? Will she go through a phase of wanting to dump her party out of despair of how quickly humans will grow old and die? Will not Frieren be bombarded with requests to recount stories from the war with the Demon King? Wait, why do literally none of these top-tier mages in the exam know who Frieren is? Like, what's going on? Does Frieren get into ANY kind of beef with Serie? "I failed to see you at the Demon King battle, so I must commend you on your stealth magic". At least some personality. Nope. Nothing. The 1000-year-old elf's personality amounts to challenging Mimics and carrying quirky luggage practices.
>>281914048>I remember kept wanting Frieren to show some level of emotion beyond bored indifference and stoicismShe does in basically every episode, but it doesn't trigger with autists.
>>281912438you lost
Notice the types of people who defend Frieren:>she is hecking silly>i love this autistic elf>let people enjoy thingsThese are the same type of people who "enjoy" Azumanga or Lain in the current year. Please go back to xwitter or whatever shithole you came from.
>>281914048>I made up a bunch of stupid expectations, why didn’t the show fulfill them!?
>>281914216Okay tourist, go back to /v/
>>281914048>Why doesn't she do leangry face when things mildly inconvenience her?>Do they not even turn her face red with steam coming out of her ears like in normal cartoons??>How am I meant to know when characters are expressing emotions without flashing backgrounds and claxon noises?This board is hopeless lol
>>281914373That post should give you hope for the board actually, the dude’s description of “the TDD way Frieren deals with demons” should have clued you into the fact that he’s a tourist from /pol/ rather than someone who belongs on /a/. It’s just another confirmation that all of the shitposts on this board come from tourists.
Total Demon Love
>>281914048>Does Frieren get into ANY kind of beef with Serie?Based retarded anon.
This anime is only popular thanks to /pol/ and Maga who compare demons with illegal immigrants
>>281914560Is that the only screencap you have of me? What happened to the others? Or is that a different tourist who wants to turn me into a boogeyman by being an obsessive stalker? I’d be happy if a second one of you losers is slipping into that derangement since that first guy didn’t commit to spamming screencaps of my posts like I very much want you to do. I suppose in that sense I should still give you a headpat for spamming this one like you’ve tried to do so far.
>>281914649BASEDfrieren will kill all swarthoids TND, TBD, TPD. Total white victory

>>281914663i just found it to be funny since you act like there is no woke in anime
>>281886679I don't agree with most of what you're saying, but I do agree that the character writing is generally shit.Everyone has the same kind of flat, emotionless kind of personality. They're not exactly the same, but it's like everyone is just a variant on the same kind of default personality.Character writing is shit, it has no plot, and there's no real message to the story. It's just watching shit happen. There's no subtext or meaning to anything.
>>281886679That's not true the first 10 chapters were good...
>>281914760Well no I just act like anyone who uses the term “woke” is a dumb piece of shit and a tourist who doesn’t understand a single thing about anime, because that’s the truth
>>281914446>can't follow literal 2 posts chain and tell one anon from another>accuses anyone of being a touristJust because I check boards other than /a/ doesn't make me /pol/tard.
>>281914820Why would I assume two long blog posts repeating the same shitty opinion are different posters? At least you admit to being a tourist piece of shit lol
>>281914048Children think that emotionless face is the equivalent of being mature, pls understando.
>>281886679kys tranny your opinion is shit>>281914138best elf
>anything more than a single sentence is a blogpost>any kind of criticism is the same opinion *ignores all the positives*lol indeed
>>281914373NTA but having an unnaturally stoic emotionless character is as ridiculous as everything you listed. Not even the Rei Ayanami type.At least the anime had great animation so it cannot be called Hirai-face cheap.Also >>281914048 is right to question why a character as OP, famous (and old) as Frieren, with statue of her in the street, would not be recognized by anyone with an interest in powerful magic.>Wait, why do literally none of these top-tier mages in the exam know who Frieren is?If I had to guess, I would say the author wanted to make it look humans have short-memory and can't keep track of what's important
>>281915063>low effort greentext>any kind of counterpoint is evasive*deny all the negative*Indeed, indeed.
>>281886679Frieren is basically an animated litrpg. It's not even dogshit, just painfully mediocre.
>>281901737>worldbuilding>hi, let's talk about eco friendly agenda in our MAGIC dungeon
>>281916840Using the fantasy genre for environmentalist messages is another one of those things that anime has been doing since before you were born lol
>>281886679I watched it because having to deal with outliving all her friends seemed like an interesting concept but she is far too autistically written for it to be compelling and it's more interested in being a generic fantasy anime. I read the manga and it's mostly filler side adventures.Why did the older priest outlive Himmel and stay 6'3 until death but Himmel turned into a dwarf?
>>281915213>ould not be recognized by anyone with an interest in powerful magic.Because most people are not interested in magic.Because in general she tries to keep a low profile.Because how many people truly notice the faces of the heroes behind the statues that were erected 80 years ago?
>>281915213Has she been wearing the same clothes for 100 years?
>>281886679Yeah it's really bad. it had an interesting premise, but fell flat and then turned into a battle shonen. Zoomers are just starved for good anime and don't know what one looks like.
>>281917325>the writing is too autistic>wtf people age differently and Himmel’s old age was used for gags!?Tourists are so dumb lol
>>281917325>Why did the older priest outlive Himmel and stay 6'3 until death but Himmel turned into a dwarf?Living with the Dragon horn next to him for decadesor the lack of elfussy
>>281917460Yes she is far too autistic to make it interesting. >gag question was about le gagYou are so smart.
>>281888134nta but that image is kind of trueanime has always been made by people unsatisfied with society so it being largely progressive makes sense
the reason shills hate frieren and try to desperately downplay it all the time is because of its depiction of what are the demons, and how they behave in that worldits too close to what they are in real life and how these people behave themselves
>>281917545>I was just pretending to be retardedOkay, tourist
>>281917383>Because most people are not interested in magic.sounds like a plot for little witch academia!
>>281886679>Tell me you didn´t watch it without telling me you didn´t watch it.Everything you said is fundamentally wrong. It´s alright to not like or care for it but if you are going to criticize it at least get your facts right. Otherwise you sound like an idiot.
>>281916840Idgaf as long as the characters aren't emotionally numb zombies which Frieren is guilty of
>>281886715Frieren xisters, what is this?
>>281918758Yeah the show that became wildly popular breaking into the mainstream surely must be too stoic and autistic to be compelling…
>>281918885Being palatable to the lowest common denominator isn't a mark of quality. Peak fire yoooooooo ahh just like Marvel.
>>281918984Your opinions are below the lowest common denominator of the mainstream. You just shitpost because you’re a stupid contrarian who doesn’t even like anime. You’re a worthless tourist.
>>281919062I didn't even say frieren is bad I said appeal to majority is retarded.
>>281919173Mainstream appeal directly contradicts your contrarian bullshit about it being too autistic and stoic to be compelling. You’re just regurgitating dumb lies from the same echo chamber where you all complain about Marvel as if anyone else gives a shot. You tourists from /v/ aren’t even pretending to be retarded, you’re just brain damaged trash.
>>281919227Lol as per usual you can only cry about your other board boogeyman. I'm sorry it makes you angry that you have the same taste in media as a retarded teenager.
>>281919323Having the same taste in media as retarded teenagers and little girls is part of the bedrock of otaku subculture lolEvery single thing you tourists say reveals how stupid and disingenuous you are, as well as how you’re just dumb cunts from /v/ and /pol/ who don’t know this board’s culture at all
>>281919443>Having the same taste in media as retarded teenagers and little girls is part of the bedrock of otaku subculture lolAh... You're a broony too. Should have figured.
>>281919507If you think of a western show and fanbase instead of precure you’re just confirming once again that you’re a tourist from /v/ with culture war brain brain rot
>>281917383Except we are specifically talking about people with an interest in powerful mage who should, at least, wonder who is that elf and if she could be someone they've inevitably heard about.You can hardly call the staff she carries around for an eternity as low profile. Assuming her ears are also not that rare in the setting.And I'm not counting the author being lazy with >>281917415. Speaking of little details beside clothes, those statues are incredibly precise, quite the craftsmanship, and yet that's a very boring pose.
>>281919227You are acting like an overdefensive fanboy who have never known better yet act as if Frieren is top fantasy.It's like seeing a Narutofag believing his shonen is top quality writing.I bet you'll pretend I'm a samefag or whatever.
>>281919716You’re acting like trash
>>281919613It's as if someone was talking to you about statues from WW2. I'm sure they acomplished great deeds, but they're ancient history to me.To be fair Denken noticed her and he's the only one from her generation, it's no wonder the younger ones aren't as familiar.
>>281918885>wildly popular breaking into the mainstreamNot an indicator of quality. And it became popular because Frieren is sexy, let's not kid ourselves here, also foot fetish bait
>>281919955>It's as if someone was talking to you about statues from WW2With literally the person they made the status of in front of you. With ears that say "this person lives forever", while likely taught why those persons deserved statues because there's no social media to rot your memories.And here I'm pretending she didn't wear the same clothes, same staff, and could have just looked like another elf.The story simply doesn't feel anywhere as natural as fanboys defend it.When I read it, it became painful to see so much wasted opportunities to make the setting more organics. That's why it felt lazy.You'd think an artist who don't focus on art would put more effort on writing.
>>281920461But it is an indicator that it is compelling and not inscrutable due to stoic autism. It’s funny that you tourist NPCs have this one single line about popularity and quality that you all regurgitate on command.
>>281916938>environmentalist messagesWhat messages? You can solve everything this MAGIC? Very inspiring.
>>281920559>the story did something other than the random expectations I made up for it so it’s lazy
I sure do love stories where people are only allowed to die in flashbacks. I love having no stakes!
>>281886679ᛞᛁᛖ ᛁᚾ ᚨ ᛞᛁᛏᚲᚺ ᚠᚨᚷᚷᛟᛏ

>>281920601>But it is an indicator that it is compellingNo it's an indicator that the marketing team is doing their job properly, promoting this 'le based elf' among faggots like you
>>281920985See even the way you frame your shitpost as sarcasm just reinforces that the real problem is you’re an irony poisoned loser who can’t engage with media genuinely so you need to be “tricked” into believing the stakes set up in stories while the entire time you nitpick irrelevant things to outsmart the story and confirm your biases. It’s over, ningen shikaku, incapable of independent thought and functioning.
>>281921172>No it's an indicator that the marketing team is doing their job properlywhen humans who see themselves as better than demons act high and mighty when they insult themselves by calling themselves gullible and easily brainwashed by media
>>281920559But again, it's like saying this person is wearing the same clothes as that statue that from 50 years ago - why would anyone notice such a thing?I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I partially agree with the general point. I could get most of the mages not knowing her, but the proctors aka the first class mages should have.
>>281920919>random expectation>just expecting it to improve
>>281921528Realism isn’t a standard, it’s a style. It wouldn’t be better for having matched your dumb expectations. After all, you’re a tourist piece of shit who doesn’t know anything about anime or the arts in general lol
Midwit the anime.
watch it english dubbed
>>281922162>dubbed
>>281920985Serie will die in the present
>>281921517>why would anyone notice such a thing?I cannot imagine not noticing someone -at worst- cosplaying as the metal-colored statue, noticing the ears that are giveaway for an immortal person. Not counting the staff. The clothes AND the staff should have triggered absolutely anyone, even a stranger, simply from pattern recognition.I would have agreed if the statue was not as detailed and looked far too epic to put together with a lookalike traveller.And it's not necessarily about having already met or seen her, it's about putting things together with things you've inevitably heard because of her achievement.Even if in the case of Frieren there's already one closer to godhood. I suspect Series as a character was created solely to make Frieren look less OP.
>>281921704>touristProof you say that of anyone>dumb expectation>just expecting the story to improveKeep imagining strawmen if you want, at this point we should accuse you of being a false flag to make Frieren fanbase look bad.
>>281922608At this point you tourists should just kill yourselves. You’re never going to fit in and it’s always going to be obvious when you pop over from /v/ to shitpost because everything you say is exactly what every other dumb cunt says. Since you’re all disingenuous trash incapable of producing original thoughts you just repeat the same bullshit nonstop.
>>281887536You don't understand what woke isYou don't understand what beauty is
>>281902185There's no lie here
>>281914138I found her autism very relatable
>>281914649Not in the slightest
>>281901297>the demons represent fascistsLol. Lmao.
>>281922302But to most people who heard of her she's the elven mage of the hero's party, not some god like being. Himmel was the one who took the spotlight.You're putting a lot of emphasis on the statue but my point is that in real life, people almost never stay and get fully absored by the sculptures. They just go "it's some dude on a horse".
Why are all elves autistic?
I don't hate frieren at all but it is genuinely bizarre that social media nitwits still believe it's got even the most basic depth beyond normal shonen pandering
>>281926331You wouldn't get it, monkeigh
The most erotic anime girl of the 2020s.
>>281927072Probably not
>>281924904It’s not “the” statue, there’s statues of the party all over the country. There’s no way advanced high-level mages who are deep into magic study wouldn’t notice such a huge magic celebrity.
>>281927179not even the most erotic girl in her own anime

>>281886679I was going to give it a watch until i found out Asmongold likes it
>>281927578What kind of basis is that for judging
>>281888634I haven't watched an isekai since ReZero S1, but I have downloaded Mushoku Tensei and not downloaded Frieren, so Mushoku Tensei is winning, it just seemed more interesting. The descriptions of Frieren sounds eerily like Trails JRPG series, with nicely crafted content loop but constrained low stake plot. Could still be enjoyable. Maybe I'll actually start watching something one day.
>>281886679deal with it, the Kino format is excellent
>>281928207>Frieren even ripped off the gratuitous German use

>>281932787It's subtle.
>>281933047Nobody says "we hate Clematis because he's a hardass" but they all hate Clematis since he's a hardass. It's also why he's Sense's foil, another hardass in a different way.
>>281920985Why are you reading shounen manga and visiting its thread then anon-kun?
I'm not the only one who understands how this works, right. The Shadow Warriors are the Continental Magic Association predent except with bonds formed in darkness. Once you realize that it's easy to see the matchups. We're already moving in that direction with Ubel v Iris and Land v Routine. Except, Stark and Fern are going to switch opponents and fight the mirrors of the other, it's been set up.
>>281886679I agree with your point but your arguments for your point are mostly stupid. especially fanservice. how exactly does that add "soul" to a story you retard?
Ubel v Iris>Darkest mage v lightest sw>Fuck you I do what I wantLand v Routine>avoid and find workarounds for pain>embraces pain to grow strongerHappy tavern girl who barely cares about the mission, vs natural mage that misses the point.Isolated but focused mage that understands magic to the nth, vs absolutely loyal sw that is capable through the most intense training.
My matchups will be correct.
Frieren v Wehrlos>Ancient heroes yet humbleSense v Clematis>Idealistic leaders one pushes for highest ideals, the other pushes there's into the meatgrinder for the listFalsch v Schritt>the hidden blades
Even if my predictions are correct I don't know what waits fir the characters on the other side. This is the beauty of Frieren.
>>281886679I'd say that on top of being one of the most generic fantasy settings imaginable this is one of the series who does the "overpowered MC" the worst, Frieren and Saitama have this thing where they barely emote during most of the series (and the fights) so it is just plain boring to watch since you know they will always win and nothing really is a stake, the mangakas are just dragging the ever loving shit out of a premise past it's breaking point for profit, they have no idea what to do with the overpowered MC anymore to the point the mangas ended up shifting focus to other characters while sidelining the MC just so they can have something to write and more "fair fights", but even then you know the MC would show up and save the day if those characters are losing so they won't die, I think a good example of a overpowered character done right would be Adam Blade from Needless, he's ridiculously powerful but he always takes a HUGE beating before winning, he always struggles, he sometimes gets wounded by weaker enemies to the point of nearly dying because said enemies outsmarted him or caught him off guard but he always gets back up and wins in the end, the fact that he always struggles so much despite his power not only makes him more likeable it also help selling the idea that there are actual stakes, he had to make a huge sacrifice during his final fight and the manga knew when to end, that also helps, plus he emoted a lot unlike Frieren and Saitama
>>281933612You lost the plot. Frieren is about relationships.
>>281933612A demon would never understand.
Glucht is willing to go into the depths of hell, because he has understood how he's manipulated human relationships. He's willling to go to the depths of hell to bring peace. But, he has resigned himself to understanding in his age that his goals will force him to make a deal with the devil that ultimately fails in a land full of fool's gold. It's something Glucht could not deliver by his own means, so he embraced power (Macht) to make it so. But, that power destroys his own people.
The soft power is not there. Except in the heart of the volks which he uses as a bracelet on a demon who doesn't acknowledge it.
Will he be held responsible, Denken is worried. Glucht was born into conspiracy and conditioned by it. And what will Denken do?
And then there is Frase and her magical special forces. That are still unknown quantities. They are peacekeepers but only Neu has really exposed their abilities.
Land and Frase have one panel of history.
>>281933612Based
>>281933932Go watch something dumb then.
>>281933915her dream is Flamme's dream. Frieren will TnJ her
>>281886679popular thing... bad
>>281933950It's possible that her wish to have a magical empire might see the CMA as a threat while she still wants to expose the shadow warriors.
>>281934004Maybe not a threat, but competition. And within the empire it's all political. Frase might want a scenario in which Serie dies amd Shadow warriors are apprehended. It might be the best possible conclusion for her agenda.
>>281886679OP watched this fight and his onions brain couldn't comprehend a low stakes fight
>>281909592AI is heavily trained on reddit.
>>281934019Does Frase know Flamme wished for Serie to take charge of the imperial mages?
>>281934046It's hard to tell. And I can't remember any part that Serie acknowledged Flamme as being right about anything.
That's what's amazing about the sw's they're the humans solitair was so fascinated with. Without magic they voyaged the seas, and now they defy the order of magic by refusing to acknowledge it and working around it in human ways.
Every mage sees Series vast mana reiautsu Shadow warriors see a person that does magic and work around it. Flamme understood this about humans, Frieren understands it by learning, but Serie....
>>281886679shounenDEITY i kneel
It's why Lowe is her perfect foil. He doesn't see the mana she emanates, he just sees an opponent who is on the list.
>premonition of Serie getting decapitated panel this chapter
>>281934185I do as i please.
I expect a Flamme flashback in the fight v lowe that adjusts series' thinking and I hope she gets a scar.
>>281934269There is absolutely no way Serie fights Lowe, the only outcome of this will be her death.It has been established that she has come here looking for a fight, every future that she can see she dies in, decapitated by an unknown assialant She literally cannot see a future in which she lives because she cannot imagine a solution that doesn't involve just trying to kill people. She is heavily constrained by a skill issue in imagination, which is why she's gambling on oddball mages who exceed her in that capacity creating a route she cannot see.Remember, Flamme is always right.
>>281886679I want to rape her cute ass
>>281934316No, she survives. But, she's forever marked by a scar, reminding not just her, but everyone else of her mortality. Frieren could even tell her it looks very human.
>>281934316cute loliren
>>281934345She will survive, because there are very little routes to her death that make any narrative sense. But she won't be the one to avert her own fate either because she literally can't.She's gambling on the lessons Flamme and Frieren tried to tell her.
I think the main problem why people think this is gonna be some sort of slice of life story and get confused after the first 4 episodes is because of the fake english title the translators came up with. The japanese title "Frieren the Slayer" is much more upfront and clear that this is going to be a shonen battle series. So once again the blame lies entirely with the translators
>>281934523>battle shonen with no stakes, plot or a compelling worldWhat were they thinking?
>>281934486It's why it's perfect for a Flamme flashback, "don't underestimate them"
>>281934535You forgot >no fan service both female characters are dressed like muslim women
>>281934523The Japanese title is a double entendre which means both sending someone off at a funeral and sending someone to their funeral
>>281934576Kanne and Lawine were great for that. I miss them.
>>281934523>The japanese title "Frieren the Slayer"That's the french title you dumb tourist lolThe Japanese title is Sousou no Frieren which doesn't have a direct translation since it's a play on wordsIt's sort of translates to Frieren the pall bearer or something like that, since she watches over the deaths of her friends and enemies
>>281934486It’s dangerous to try and predict the narrative direction of the plot because of how bad it is, but I’m going out on a limb here and say that Serie is going to become the next Maou (“demon king”). There’s going to be something which is going to something like a magic source or something like that in the old Maou castle which she is going to secure in order to bring about her ambition for the Great Magic World to borrow a Fairy Tail term. She will gather up the great demons and together with her loyalists from the MA form the next demon army. Whatever she does it may even be related to what the first Maou was trying to do. In any case, this directly gets in the way of Frieren’s journey to meet Himmel in the afterlife which as we recall lies in an area beyond the castle. I could be wrong about any of the particulars except that Serie is going to take on a role similar to the Maou. Because, otherwise, what is she even DOING there, both narratively and physically?
>>281934657It's not that hard.Upcoming matchups guaranteed>Stark v Wolf>Fern v Gazelle>Serie v Lowe>Sein v KreisNot foreshadowed but probably :>Frieren v Wahlross>Sense v Clematis>Falsch v SchrittScreencap this
>>281934657>what is she even DOING there, both narratively and physically?You must have the reading comprehension of a five year old not to realise by now that Serie's narrative purpose is to act as a foil for Frieren, and for Flamme's ideology which she carries with her
>>281934657>Because, otherwise, what is she even DOING there, both narratively and physically?Vibing.Chill out and stop overthinking things.
>>281934623Actually it does have a direct translation: Funereal Frieren. This was even used by the japs before the official translation came out.
>>281933612ok but OPM at least was made by a talented writer (originally) and wasn't just completely carried by the adaptation
>>281934751Translating from Japanese is rarely direct, it's often an approximation. There is no way to fully capture the title in English with a word or two'Sousou no Frieren' is a play on words, you would have to have a short paragraph of accompanying text to explain this in English

>>281935014Kek
>>281934975Serie doesn't want or need mages that go out on their own collecting folk magic. She needs mages that are unbeatable in the fight against demons and politics. It's why Frieren is absolutely terrible for her organization.
>>281934975I clearly meant her character is Frieren's foil in the literary sense
>>281921008Runes look too crude for elves.
>>281935038Next thing you're gonna tell us is that elf men are supposed to be manly
>>281935048I wish I could be as good as Kraft.
>>281935048They are in Frieren though?
>>281934842Women prefer gay men over straight men because gay men won't rape them and destroy their life.
K, b, c.
>>281935080Kraft is a perfect man. No homo.
so from my understanding Kraft defeated the demon king a long time ago and saved the world but the demon king keeps respawning
>>281935088Because raping little boys is so much better

Frieren is life, Frieren is love.
>>281888329Women only like NTR when they're the ones getting cucked.
>>281886984Stop pimping her Frieren
I wonder how common it is to see a demon just walking around? Back in Himmel’s time they were all in the army so you’d probably only see them on the frontlines. But without the Demon King wouldn’t they become a more common sight amongst human settlements or do thier horns make them priority targets so they’re usually forced to stay in the wilderness? Still it’s been 8) years since the war so you’d think civilization would have relaxed. Mind you, there could simply be not many demons left because we have no idea what their life cycle is like, only that they grow up in solitude.
>>281935862>women only like X when it's about them
>>281935862A woman isn’t really getting cucked if her man has sex with another woman on top of having sex with her. She still gets pregnant all the same. Only pathetic moids can get cucked
>>281935723t.

>>281938330ESL brownoid
>>281938330Can't have romance in a show because then the audience of virgins feels as though they've been NTR'd
>>281938441Dumb triggertard
>>281938441Correct. That’s why she didn’t even live with Himmel in his final years as a pretend wife. In “reality” she’d happily get into relationships with people she’s gotten close to as to her their time together would just a blink of the eye. But gender and moral law makes such simple things impossible.
>>281939568>>281938441You completely missed the point. Frieren is a strong wahmen that doesn't need no man
>>281935080Frankly, there's something appealing about elf girls being mega feminine, and elf men being mega masculine. If elfs really are just humans +, this is how they should be.
>>281924904>real life, people almost never stay and get fully absored by the sculptures. They just go "it's some dude on a horse".In real life people we make statues of DO NOT go unnoticed, Especially if they are immortal godlike mages whose power can be felt by any decent mage unless they make painful efforts to hide it.We can already mock fantasy for having walking Person Of Mass Destruction, without at least important people recognizing them.

Frieren is fantasy told from the mindset of a miserable salary worker, which makes sense considering that for a so-called "high fantasy", Frieren has a distinct lack of mystique or enchantment in either its setting or characters.
>>281947135I guess that's valid. We had a story arc not too long ago about a demon wanting to coexist with humans without understanding feelings like guilt or malice. It would seem that because they know how to say the correct things they'd understand these things. But, I propose it isn't because they understand them, it because they understand their utility for demons. An actual human could feel guilt and shame and declare to never do it again and actually not, driven by those feelings, but a demon doesn't have those feelings. Similar to how humans without truly understanding the wind or waves took to the sea and voyaged as Solitair described it.That or just a little suspension of disbelief because the demons work as a metaphor for the most wicked of people.
>>281947135There is a somewhat salient truth underlying the distinction between metaphorical language and what's actually true, but I don't think Frieren actually thought that through.
>>281948152I wish you'd like it, but you don't have to. While much of the fantasy is derivative Frieren does have a unique magic system and plenty of unique monsters. The series also has its' own mechanics based loosely on familiar ones.
>>281940155This is based.
>>281949083>Frieren has a distinct lack of mystique or enchantmentIt's not very surprising this flew over your head entirely as soon as you started babbling about magical systems.
>>281949204You don't have to like it. I'm just telling you why I like it.
>>281949520I don't like Frieren for the same reason I'm not interested in the livelihoods of the papier-mâché cut-outs that occupy Japanese society.
>>281949589
>>281949684Why are you trying to force a banal conversation when there's nothing to talk about between us?
>>281949725Why are you trying to pretend you're so much more sophisticated than you are?
>>281948522A hero of our time.
>>281949792>sophisticated Not sure what that has to do with anything. I can tell you're getting frustrated though, which is why you're just throwing random words out to see if they stick.
>>281949877Checked and keked
>>281950146What's an anime with "mystique" and "enchantment" that isn't about "papier-mache cutouts that occupy Japanese society" than? Also, how are you unaware of how smug you come off?
>>281950546
>>281947135You're right, but there are two issues you're not considering.First, there's a certain type of autistic anime viewer who literally (Literally) cannot understand that characters can be wrong. What I mean is, they don't understand that a character can be incorrect, lying, mistaken, etc. They just don't get it, so if the words are printed, it's true. You'll never convince them of anything else, you'll just get them repeating that the character said so, and not be able to comprehend why you don't just believe them.Second, it seems that the author just doesn't really get it either. They just didn't actually think the concept through very well, so... You just kind of have to overlook it. The concept of consciousness and emotions is already fraught and complicated; there are people who, to this day, don't believe animals like dogs and cats have emotions. It's not an easy subject matter in the first place, and the author doesn't seem to really grasp the issues at play, so he can't write it well.It's just bad writing and stupid readers. There's really nothing more to say about it.
>>281938330I find the characters fun but what you said doesn't make sense, elves have different concept of attachment given their lifespan.
>>281950546>What's an anime with "mystique" and "enchantment" that isn't about "papier-mache cutouts that occupy Japanese society" than?No subhuman, I am not going to list series I like for you to farm engagement bait with.>Also, how are you unaware of how smug you come off?There is nothing inherently wrong with liking isekai or "JRPG fantasy" aka parody fantasy. I dislike Frieren because it barely revels in being shallow derivative fantasy either. There is nothing to this series beyond the point of Frieren being eternally long lived. Even the start of the series which focuses on the "mono no aware" (it doesn't really have anything else to say past this point) theme is handled much better in series like Land of the Lustrous or Somali and the Forest Spirit, especially without falling into the pit of having a core cast of soulless, uninspired characters like the two teens that follow her around.
>>281938359Yes, the author of frieren is ESL and brown.
>>281886715where's the ntr in frieren?
>>281953787Himmel and Frieren got NTR'd by death
>>281946899Sleepy Chino
>>281887547The dude has emotion. They make sort of a big deal about how mages need to constantly keep themselves under complete control. The slightest distraction or emotional upheaval can fuck you over. Any mage who isn't able to keep their emotions under a tight lid are probably dead.This is probably the very premise you're actually criticizing. It's not that characters are unable to have emotions. It's that the author deliberately created magical rules that prevent mage characters from being overly expressive. Either you're a perfect monk, or you're dead. If you want to express emotions, you shouldn't be a mage.

>>281886679yes but it serves as a vehicle for my and other people racism and allows us to hate "demons" freelyits like how football(soccer) is based because you can hate entire countries of people so long as you frame it as being related to the football team of that nation.maybe you just arent racist enough to enjoy kino.
>>281937248>>281935968thisa woman will see her man as being strong and desirablejust as long as its cucking not cheatingcheating they hatebut slowly introducing them to the idea of being a cuck queen they usually love.i roleplayed that i cheated on my girl when we were fucking one time and she fucking hated me for a monththen i slowly introduced RP of her watching as i fucked another woman "for her" and she loved itits probably because everyone like dominating and controlling women even women, so when a woman can control/dominate a woman through her man they can sort of get off on that feeling which they havent really had beforesome women feel this when they are the leader or "queen" or whatever of a group of women but a womans type of control of another woman is totally different than the male control of a womanthis is also why strap on dildos or penis shaped dildos are so popular with women(and pegging men to a certain extent) is popular with lesbians because a lesbian fucking another woman in a "womanly way" doesnt invoke the same feeling that a man fucking a woman does, so if one of the lesbians can "became a man" or "fuck like a man" that gives them a totally different(better) experience.
