I don't think the average anime-watcher really understands how fucked up western females' brains are from feminism. You might think that's a good choice because it's marketed to female Japanese audiences. Western foids, however, will look at Maomao and actually be offended at how passive she is (and I understand she is a highly agentive character for even the period that the story occurs in). Foids have only ever consumed media where women are boss bitches, where they are actually the strong (literally) characters, rescuing the incompetent men--like "he-damsels" in distress. Their confidence is further undermined by the fact that all of the women in the story are beautiful, young, thin and have great personalities, while they themselves are old, fat, jaded and, generally speaking, evil. They try to justify their selfish, jealous feelings by accusing all the men of being pedos and insisting that they date older women with hairy legs whose eggs are all nearly expired, like them.

You don’t *find* an anime, anon. You open MAL, scroll for 40 minutes, add 12 shows to PTW, then rewatch the same comfy shit you’ve already seen. That’s the ritual.

Nothing happens anime is premium comfort food. You don’t sit down expecting a five-course battle shounen. You want vibes. You want low stakes. You want two idiots awkwardly holding hands for 3 episodes.

If you’re treating it like a Big Mac you’re already spiritually obese.

It'd be her opinion because we are talking about a wife here, but that never came up and I can't ask because we live in different places now and haven't kept in touch.
Probably just didn't care, those jokes don't actually get that much screen time.
This also gets into the dichotomy of the theoretical versus reality.
Women are very group oriented, and are not likely to take a contrarian stance against the most popular thing, which that anime is by many metrics. Even more so in the past.

aot isnt that normie friendly, your perception is warped by an experience with children - children have a higher tolerance for everything, not to mention cartoons are aimed at children. that's not a hallmark of being normie friendly

I will say that obviusly, snk is super popular, so it's not exactly niche. but I think it's a much harder sell for any normie that isn't a male aged 12-24 compared to many of the other series named itt.

I think it's quite well balanced, as it iffers comedic moments and a fairly decent fantasy plot - but those who are looking for romantic love might be disappointed. The outdoors scenes are well rendered are relaxing to watch.
If it has garnered a sizable mainstream audience without being shown on Netflix, etc, I would argue that this is a good thing.

Frieren is the Solo Leveling of performative shonen.

Larping Armchair Philosophers watches their first anime talking about feelings then acts as if Frieren has the writing depth of Monster or Evangelion.

The existential crisis of the passage of time and appreciating the temporary present is a great theme introduced in the pilot episode, but after that it's entertaining slice of life layered with hype action and asking what would Himmel do through repetitive flashbacks.

It's literally a casual sitcom level of media that people watch to chill out after a days of work and I love Frieren.

There's a reason why Frieren is so popular and it's because it appeals to the lowest hanging fruit through its lovable roster of characters and the chemistry between them, not because it's the most profound fiction to exist.

If anything Shiboyugi should be glazed like Frieren as an anime this season that actually requires media literacy and critical thinking.

>>286701755

you gave away the game too early, son

>>286701924

>media literacy
and ending with a bang like that means all is forgiven

>>286701942
Yeah, it's not performative, it is a shonen, specifically a battle shonen

>>286701942
I think reading Solo Leveling stunlocked me so I didn't register the next few words.

>>286676814
All anime produced after 2020 are made specifically for normalfags.

>>286699748
a time ago the script writer of bocchi the reddit admitted to removing all the fanservice scenes from the original manga because she thought fanservice was dumb
she faced criticism from other people on the anime industry, deservedly so for the censorship of these scenes, to what she responded saying it was made to appeal to a wider audience and protect the children
however the director is the one in charge of approving the script. this guy has a very small curriculum and one day started to receive high positions with big projects and big budgets. so far all of them carefully designed to appeal to western audiences

Friren and anime fags complain about solo leveling all the time and their complaints are basically them just projecting their fear against solo leveling.
Let's not forget, solo leveling has a dogshit ending.
And yet Friren and anime fags are AFRAID OF IT and cant STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT.

you can really tell who the twxtter normalfags are, because only they care or even talk about SL

if liking tiddies makes me a boy then a boy i shall always be.

Can someone tell me something? Where does the ego of Frieren fans come from to think they are some enlightened beings for liking a generic fantasy shonen anime with *slightly* less action than other fantasy shonen that they ALL do this shtick of pretending every other show is just mindless punching & screaming?
People who think a shonen fantasy anime about an elf falling in love with a hero is the pinnacle of human experience that can only be understood by a select few. I can't imagine having such a shallow and spiritually bankrupt appreciation for what it is to be human as an adult.
Unironically something that a child might think after reading The Hobbit for the first time but coming from someone claiming to have "life experience" is hilarious. Imagine being this self-absorbed to think liking the most basic mainstream TV makes you more human than anyone else.
"I'm actually deeply convinced that you need to have reached a very specific point in your life to fully grasp and understand the meaning of Harry Potter." you people are LOSERS. PLEASE grow some fucking substance as human beings holy shit.

>>286704032
>they ALL do this shtick of pretending every other show is just mindless punching & screaming?
Other way around.
People who enjoy the series like it for being moderately above some things. While people who don't like it, for some reason, inflate the adoration to insane levels and build up this fake narrative in their head. And then feel the need to crusade a campaign and make posts like yours.

>>286704104
>People who enjoy the series like it for being moderately above some things
Except, it's not. It's the most generic and middling it possibly could be and it has nothing to say about literally anything.

>>286704032
every popular show that breaks the mold has people saying stuff like that because people who dont watch anime like that need a justification why they suddenly now do watch it
the obvious answer here is of course they watch it because it's popular, it's a fad, they are part of the wave (all of which is fine, by the way). but that's not what some people want to hear. they're special snowflakes, they dont succumb to things like fads! no, there must be something unique about THIS popular series!
frieren is really deep, it's not like those mindless battle shonen!
aot is really deep, it's really soft seinen,not like those mindless battle shonen!
etc etc

>>286704181
Indeed anon, you did eat breakfast so you aren't hungry.

>>286704224
Himmel displays the dogshit vapid, stilted, on-the-nose dialogue of a show that either has mentally challenged writers or assumes its entire audience is mentally challenged (and in this case that assumption would be correct).

>>286704390
you're allowed to dislike it anon.

>>286704412
Not according to the fans. They'll say it's "not for you" as a means to dismiss all of it and pretend it doesn't exist. Or they'll use a generic blanket statement to deflect it, or they'll pretend like you're making a handful of stock arguments and then respond with a stock counter argument.

>>286704714
That's every single manga with a following discussed on this board that's not blatantly ecchi crap. It's far from being exclusive to Frieren.

>>286704194
>need a justification
It's more like people who bandwagon have a crippling desire to fit in and they engage in the game of one-upmanship to see who fits in the most. This ultimately peaks with whatever the fad is being the greatest, deepest, most amazing and perfect thing ever. Wait long enough and it'll be completely forgotten. The boom bust cycle of hype.

Not really
Most zoomers and women get their panties in a bunch over the demons being simple demons and not allegories for brown people.

It's a regular occurrence for fascists to "claim" new anime especially if they have some kind of "wholesome" or cutesy veneer behind them, that paired with the tolkienesque nature of Frieren made it an inevitability they would latch onto it I think.

>>286704714
>They'll say it's "not for you"
because it isn't. it's not dismissing your opinion as much as it's trying to say your opinions are malformed. While you're insisting upon them as quasi-factual. It's exhausting trying to reason with your type.
You don't even understand that Himmel is being portrayed in mostly fond memories of Frieren finally reflecting. So he's supposed to seem fantastic and unnatural. You're not supposed to take it at face-value. It's about frieren's emotional growth.
You're trying to critique a series, but you're in the completely wrong area, so it's difficult to take anything you say seriously. (because there are plenty of critiques to be made)

>>286705231
>It's about frieren's emotional growth
They dropped this episode 1 to focus on shonen slop.

>>286705291
Again, wrong, as after it was about being conscience of time and other peoples, then with Sein, it became about Frieren learning to deal with interpersonal problems and not offloading them.
This is the issue with retards trying to critique Frieren.
They can never get anything correct and constantly reveal themselves as speed-watchers (i won't even assume reader)

>>286705351
>Again, wrong, as after it was about being conscience of time and other peoples, then with Sein, it became about Frieren learning to deal with interpersonal problems and not offloading them.
And then it had nonsensical and unneeded shonen slop like a retarded tournament arc that wasn't even about being the strongest, it was about whether or not Serie likes them. Then a nonsensical time travel and assassination arc. Edomae elf did more to address Frieren's themes in half the run time.

Can you name anime this happened to before Frieren?

>You don't even understand that Himmel is being portrayed in mostly fond memories of Frieren finally reflecting. So he's supposed to seem fantastic and unnatural. You're not supposed to take it at face-value.
Which would be an interesting idea if, you know, it was actually done.
Instead we get these constant reiterations of the same exact idea with each Himmel flashback just showing Himmel being the sweetest most romantic guy ever so the audience can go "Awe why didn't they get together" every episode. It's so overdone it starts feeling very artificial.

This probably has more to do with letting himself be bullied by Shueisha to keep churning out new works even when lacking inspiration. I quite liked Death Note (the Light and L part at least) and Bakuman, but everything else didn't even have an interesting enough synopsis for me to pick up.

>>286705351
I would say the arc with Sein was the opposite. Frieren already learned you can wait too long and run out of time. Helping Sein to avoid that mistake is a way for her to redeem herself.

That's not a high bar.

>>286676814
DBZ
Yu Yu Hakusho
Pokemon
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Akira
Ghost in the Shell
Death Note

>>286705712
Horrible example. That's not a co-opt, Starship Troopers blatantly glorifies fascism. Helldivers is a parody of what troopers plays completely straight.

It’s like a good song. A good song doesn’t need to be technically complex or have deep lyrics, it just touch your soul.
I dont know why i enjoy frieren so much, the same way I can’t explain why i enjoy certain songs so much

>>286705725
I'm a newfaggot, send help

>>286705800
That's fine, but for your own sake you'll enjoy media much more if you introspect a bit on why it moves you.

>>286705691
>Helping Sein to avoid that mistake is a way for her to redeem herself.
I saw it as more demonstrating substantial growth. As would she have treated him the same if she hadn't taken Fern in and started opening up to people?

>>286705850
It's basically the same. She changed and the proof of that is she was confronted with the same situation and didn't make the same mistake twice.

No anon. Young boys aren't supposed to see boobs. It can make their minds sick.

What? Literally the other day I took a taxi with the most stereotypical taxi driver from my country you can think of and he was watching korean dramas while driving. Talking about that I find it troublesome how now everyone is watching something on their phones while driving...

Music itself is of course named for the magical art of the muses, mousike tekhne. This underlies the understanding of the impact of “song” on people that existed in the ancient world, not just at the very direct level of how acoustics can affect physiology and neural patterns but also in terms of altering emotion and worldview, and in terms of blending music with other arts, most obviously with poetry and theater. The ultimate technique of the lyre-playing sorcerer is that he can set up somewhere, start playing, and suddenly a city is built by the power of his music. In religion and mysticism we get obfuscated ideas of items of power that shape the world, but the ground truth is that this power is the ability to influence listeners. There are even many animals that can be brought under musical spells, and the goddesses like Hecate and Ishtar with their packs of drug-tamed lions and wolves were all also musicians. The Hittites even referred to lyres as the Ishtar instrument, coming in small and large varieties and holding a prolific place in cult rituals.

Were you going to close that thought or just post your chatGPT summary?

I feel like I see some variation of this thread everytime I look at /a/

>>286706933
there's a handful of people who don't rest until they feel validated with their very original hot takes of not liking it.

I think its funny how people still throw the shonen tag for this anime where nothing fucking happens. Actual filler from actual shonen series has more action than friren.

>>286705800
a diehard elevator music fan no doubt

>>286676814
It's actually kinda bullshit that Frieren gets a permanent pseudo-general and nobody complains when I get niggers in threads I frequent shitting and pissing because the once every two weeks threads are "general-like". God.

>>286707493
Like a quarter of the posts are complaints, anon.

>>286707250
This has more fights than Hunter x Hunter.

The anti Frieren drama is just as boring as the anti Violet Evergarden drama because it was popular on Netflix

>>286707703
ok but violet evergarden was actually boring as fuck

>>286707493
Frieren threads are 90% bots anyways.

It's not ChatGPT it's just a demon pretending to be a human

>>286676814
Spy X Family is the most normie-friendly. Normies get too confused by the demons in Frieren. It's too hard for them to wrap their minds around the idea of good and evil. But they find Anya very cute, they like the Loid and Yor romance plot, and they even find Becky very funny.
>>286677206
There's a ton of blood and gore in Frieren what are you talking about.

Nah bro, SxF is popular yes but you won't make a true "regular person" to watch this.

>>286710857
Regular people know that young kids have "puppy love" feelings for adults all the time. They don't think Loid is actually going to fuck Becky. They just find it funny and cute.

>>286710950
naive

>>286705829
That's absolutely not true. The more you think about what you consume the more faults with it you find. Outside of feeling elitist abou it, there's literally no benefit to being critical of media

>>286711339
I disagree but that's at least up for debate. It's also not what I said. I said to introspect, as in analyze yourself.

>>286711187
I've watched it with normal people who are not shipping Loid with Becky, and don't see anything at all wrong with Becky's character. They don't even think about that shit.

>>286711707
I would expect normals are so hyped up about pedo hunting they would flip shit at a scene like that

>>286711742
Since Loid only seems confused or missing it completely, he's obviously not triggering them. Normal people who don't constantly think about kids having sex don't take Becky seriously. It just seems like a realistic thing little kids do (which it is).

>>286711812
That's never stopped them from freaking out over it irl. I think your circle might be a little more tolerant than you realize.

>>286711877
I think your normies are too online and not normies at all. My normies aren't zoom-zooms.

you got it all mixed up. Pedo hysteria is older people on facebook and mainstream media.

Did you even watch it?

>>286704032
>*slightly* less action
The funny thing is it sort of sells itself as this more sombre re-treading of the journey before going into unironic tournament arc that takes way too long.

>>286712485
Normies don't waste their time on facebook or the news.
