>tfw your favorite video game series is safe from annoying and overly pedantic Youtube essayists
>>719614114Frieren really isn't good enough to be spamming it everywhere.
>>719614207Unfortunately you are very wrong about that. Frieren was very, very good. Very, very, very good.
>>719614114>For now.
>>719614114I have never even seen a video game youtube essayist so I'm safe no matter what.
>>719614606I'm not sure how you manage that when /v/ has hourly threads about them.
>>719614207at least you stopped calling it fotm
>>719614730Not clicking on every link posted here helps I guess.
>>719614346NOOOOOOOOO THAT'S TOO SCARY!!! STOP IT! STOP IT!
>>719614114Rule 41 If it exists there's a 48+ hour youtube video essay on it
>>719614207It hasn't really earned it, no, and given it's fotm it probably won't stick around much at least, but you have to remember>anime girl with memeable faces>also an elfyou're gonna see plenty, "worth" it or not
>>719616108>fotmanon, season 1 is almost 2 years old.
>>719614114>reddit elfleave
>>719614207anime is just that crap these days that frieren looks good in comparison.
>>719616324I didn't say this month
>>719614207It's just generic isekai world but not isekaiIt could've been comfy travel anime, or a cool episodic series akin to Star Trek, but they never go any place interesting and absolutely nothing interesting ever happens. Frieren is propped up by quality animation and waifufaggotry, nothing more.
>>719616404get a new term, fotm has a distinct meaning.the fact that it's still regularly posted also means it's broken out of the FOTM conversation altogether, and is just a good enough series to still generate conversations
>>719616404Stayed popular and posted everywhere 2 years after is not fotm that's just being popular.
>>719616482>It's just generic isekaiwhat part of japan are the characters from again?

>>719616558>I Pressed A Through A Critical Moment And Now I Misunderstand Something Integral To The Game That Will Poison My Entire Opinion>Pinned Comment: Haha this is just my opinion guys :)
>>719614207it resonates with autistic teen girls and emotionally stunted retards, due to the cheap sad emotions, so it will sadly be spammed for a bit. It wouldnt even suck so bad if the show wasnt written so poorly and nearly every character had the same no emotion personality. It also would fit more to be set in modern day japan with how often they visit cafes in the fucking middle ages.
>>719616807>had the same no emotion personalityfiltered by the one anime that's slightly realistic with nuanced emotions.
>>719616882jesus christ you actually don't watch anime beyond MAL top 10s
>>719614114Just play a game and ignore youtube essayists. Nobody forces you to watch their crap. Also, elf feet.
>>719616920can't take the opinion seriously of someone who got filtered this hard by a series that finally addresses "anime is too overly emotive"
>>719616882>realistic>everyone is an emotionally stunted retard in real life that shows no emotionsthat is just the opposite spectrum of the usual anime overreacting and somehow even worse to me.
>>719617073I wouldn't be calling other people emotionally stunted if you were unable to discern emotions yourself.
>>719617037likewise, no one can at all take you seriously when your only frame of reference is clearly normgroid shit
>>719616489sorry what would you call a once-but-no-longer-current fotm? I'll gladly swap to that if you need me to>>719616495I don't really see it that often desu, and when I do it's just reaction faces. Couldn't tell you a damn thing about the plot via osmosis unlike other anime either, so not that popular by my perspective.>>719616636>snk on the list>based on presumably fan rating >less fans than fma at #2it's bigger than I thought I guess but it doesn't sway me on quality, not that that's what we're here for. I guess sticking to the OP, I actually kinda like video game videssays, so long as they actually have something to say and not just the chaff of "here's 10 things you missed in halo 4's 5th map" or "the dark side of mario maker"
>>719617179>normgroidwhy are you getting filtered by normalfag shit?
>>719617073>stomp demons>make cheesy pretentious monologuei dunno man I kinda like itanime should be arthouse
>>719617207>he can't actually defend frieren so he has to make up a strawman that's easier to attackreal compelling and not at all shounenbab behaviour on your end. child.
>>719614207It makes me wonder, were the first few chapters/episodes being good a complete fluke? It feels that way with the way the story degenerates fromn a good reflection on mortality into complete battle shonen trash. Did the writer die after the early parts?
>>719614114Safe for now. It will happen eventually, I just have to accept that.
>>719617308I've typed out paragraphs before and you retards just skip over it and say "not uh".But if you can't even pick up on the emotions, you're definitely not picking up on themes or undertones or frierens steady character development.
>>719617019Why didn't they show her pantsu in this scene bros
>>719617295>write demons to be mimics>completely contradict urself nearly every chapter about it, with the worst being what is a father?>completely shit on the theme of your manga while doing so instantlyAt least AoT had the decency to only turn into such utter garbage at the end.
>>719614114>oh no, someone made yt video about my game, i can't play it anymorenigger
>>719617359My favorite video game is unfortunately a relative Nobody Cares type of game, nobody but me anyway. Any essay about it beyond mayyybe a "you should play this hidden gem" would get looked over. That's the upside, the downside of course is that nobody but me cares about my favorite game.
>>719617418>>write demons to be mimics>>completely contradict urself nearly every chapter about it, with the worst being what is a father?what do you mean? I've never read/heard this opinion.
>>719617385She's got a defensive spell for that
>>719617189Your perspective is wrong. You are a retard.
>>719617379>not uhjesus christ, dude. i tried to be nice by ignoring your other english blunders, but i seriously think you're dismissed so often because your ESL babble seriously hampers your point, not to mention the unironic "I-IT'S ACTUALLY LE 2DEEP4U" rebuttal, or the fact you conveniently don't want to make your case when you're called on the utter lack of one because anonymous users bullied you for your retardation??? seriously, get a fucking grip before you go out into the adult world like this, or else you'll spend most of it unfucking yourself if you're lucky
>>719617695They should give the viewer the see underwear potion, once. just for kicks
>>719616524Nice reading comprehension
>>719617418tatacaw
>>719617506The demons were always the main example of poor and contradictory writing in the show. I dont know how you didnt see any discussion about it or realized it yourself. It was always a main topic around the end of the show. Basic is. The demons are supposed to be mimics without real emotions that only pretend to know stuff humans know by copying them without knowing its real meaning, which falls flat on its face at every turn, because they are a sentient species that can communicate. The worst example being pic. The whole show is just poorly executed and aimless and it really doesnt have anything to it outside the art style and cheap emotions.
>>719617753>the unironic "I-IT'S ACTUALLY LE 2DEEP4U"you admitted as much on the most basic level with "characters have no emotions"you drowned in the the most shallow of puddles <- metaphor
>>719617869Please stop posting lol. You are seriously just embarrassing yourself.
>>719617930again, sorry you got filtered man, but no need to argue like a woman
>>719617869>youstop right there. you haven't even considered the fact that i wasn't even the guy that made that point or if i even agreed. i literally said you were retarded for doing this and you're doing it AGAIN, and AGAIN, you don't even bother to back the shit you're spewing with fucking anything. learn from the post above you before you reply to me again
>>719617841Baby-making sex with LinieShe can figure what a father is after our third kid
>>719617989>please explain more on something you don't even comprehend at the very first stepthat would be insane behavior
why do you think I play brodudeslop?
>>719617841>The demons are supposed to be mimics without real emotionsthey have emotions>because they are a sentient species that can communicate.Being able to communicate (via emulation) doesn't mean you grasp human nature, which is what the demons constantly fail to understand, which is the point.There's no issue with questioning human nature which is what they do, to learn, to survive.The reason people aren't discussing this point is because you're failing to make an actual case...
>>719617841Absolute reddit take.>They can communicate, that means we can negotiate with them!They are not mimics, they are beasts who use communication as a weapon. This is really not hard to understand and only retards who are brainrotted by deconstructionism fail to understand it because they can't help but play devil's advocate. Killing humans is literally in their blood. They will never stop and they will never change. Mocking dumbfucks who cannot understand this is part of the point.
>>719618089>retard still refuses the basics of argument because DURRR ME WANT TO LE EBIN OWN ANON AFTER OTHER ANON BULLIED ME INTO ONLY REPLYING WITH ONE LINERSthis is what i get for trying to be nice to the actual sped with genuine reading issues

I didn't think it was super amazing the first time I watched it. But on a rewatch I started appreciating it more.I'm literally Frieren
>>719618556case in point, and your next reply will be another one liner quip that isn't a direct reply. thanks for proving me right, i win
>>719617734I'm sorry you feel that way but also I don't care
>>719614207The manga was good until the current arch. Shit is now just retarded generic slop with a plot that wouldn't have existed if they just killed of the villains.
>4chan no FrierenStay
>>719618652It already shat the bed with the tournament arc.
>>719618567>post a pic he did not understand>makes up shitty headcanon based on itYep, reddit.
>>719618652At least Sein is back and we've got a full party again
>>719618567there's nothing contradictory though loldemons are specifically referred to as beasts who evolved to emulate humans, but by the very case of emulation, they don't understand fundamental things, which is why they question them.We see this taken to the extreme with Macht, who entertains being fake-friends with a human for awhile, out of curiosity.
>>719618567normalfags get really fucking uppity about shit that's more different than the usual fotm shit they consume for some reason, and they always never tell you why you're wrong too lol

>>719616482it's not isekai you fucking fool it's just generic high fantasy setting with a demon king cliche as the backstory
>>719617841>demons are supposed to be mimicsDemons are predators who eat humans and mimic their behavior to make killing them easier>without real emotionsThis like saying that a dog does not have emotions because it doesn't laugh at your jokes. Demons are a different species and act accordingly to their customs>only pretend to know stuff humans know by copying them without knowing its real meaningThey understand what "stuff" means for a demon.You understand what the "real meaning" is to a human.That's the whole point of why demons and humans can never coexist. They are too different to ever understand each other >The worst example being picIt was stated in that same chapter that demons do not raise their offspring. So demons technically have a father (someone who begot them) but they do not have the concept of a father (someone who takes care of you, consoles you when you're sad and in general is there for you when you need it)That whole episode is a prime example of how demons use human emotions to their own advantage
>>719616636Those ratings are sucha joke.
>>719614207>guys guys guys i don't like the popular thing stop posting it stoooop pleaseget a personality
>retard finally starts articulating his arguments even after trying to play it cool in his last replyin the end, i still won
>>719619278I mean in this case isn't it literally not a video game?
>>719619317it's being used as a reaction image you sped, the picture you posted is also not a video game
If Frieren is so shit, what's an anime that does what it does better? I don't watch anime specifically because it feels like cardboard cutouts interacting and Frieren was one that felt a step above most anime I've seen. If there's something better than it though, I'm all ears
>>719619237yeah, FMA/B does not deserve to be that high at all
>>719619383Mushoku Tensei
why do breadtubers ruin everything? sad!
>>719619359No, I'm saying this entire thread is off topic. There's no reason to discuss this show here because this isn't /a/, he made the thread on the wrong board. My image exists as a reminder that this is in fact, not a video games topic.
Anime peaked with nozaki, we didn't know how good we had it.
>>719619510Pretty sure it peaked with Snow White
>>719619383there isn't, frieren is just the rare case of a mass-appeal series that also has depth, so it triggers a lot of different types of people.
>>719614114Why should I care about jewtubers or normalfaggots?
>>719619458I turned it off within the first episode, it was way too perverted and the friend that suggested it says it gets much worse.
>>719618739>Macht, who entertains being fake-friends with a human for awhile, out of curiosityIt's been a while since i read that part but iirc it started as simple curiosity but eventually macht truly wanted to understand humans or at least that's how i interpreted the story arc. Sadly the end is always the same when humans and demons try to live together
>>719614114Ace Attorney isn't popular enough for youtube essays.

>Haven't watched a anime in years>Barely read manga anymoreVidya and audio media is simply superior.
>>719619646once an e-celeb exposes the game to a mainstream audience the studio or game company will make the game for the said audience while older fans will no longer be the target audience
>>719614114Frieren ear sucking
>>719619843Oh.
>>719619932
>>719619383the real answer is RahXephon btw
>>719620017AI upscale when
>>719619907That's on the studio. If they want to compromise on the vision (if they had any to begin with) and pursue profits, they will invent a non existing target audience anyway.
>>719614114My favorite vidya of all time is an RPG Maker 2003 game that nobody on the planet has heard of and gets no fanart or anything due to sheer obscurity.
Fern belongs in chastity, with Frieren holding the key and never unlocking her because she doesn't understand that humans get horny more than once ever 100 years.
>>719620003
>>719616482its safe loli
>>719614114I wonder if people realize the implication of sharing pictures of characters that are owned by corporations. You are essentially doing unpaid shilling. So there are two things to take away from this:1. either people who post characters are paid shills2. they are mindless drones who just take whatever is produced by the current environment and make it their personality, which means they have no free will, what they post today is dependent on some external entity and corporations

>>719620583fern is too much of a repressed spaz to do that degen stuff
>>719620618That's fine, Frieren can force it on her. If anything, non-consensual chastity is even hotter.
>>719620583okay

>>719614114Demons in the series are described as predators who see humans as food. But this description, again, comes from their enemies. From the demons’ side, survival may simply demand behavior that humans interpret as malicious. Many real-world predators kill prey not because of evil intent, but necessity. Furthermore, demons’ supposed use of language as “a weapon” may be misunderstood as cultural difference. Perhaps their society evolved with a different relationship to truth and negotiation—something alien to human norms, but not inherently immoral.What humans call “deception” might be their equivalent of diplomacy, bargaining, or ritualized conflict. If demons express empathy or affection differently, humans may fail to recognize it. To judge them by human standards risks ethnocentrism, the very core of racism.Historical ParallelsHistory is full of examples where dominant groups depicted others as subhuman in order to justify conquest: colonized peoples were labeled as “savages,” indigenous religious practices were dismissed as “tricks of the devil,” and rival nations were cast as incapable of reason. The rhetoric used against demons mirrors these tropes. Humans in Frieren’s world may have demonized (quite literally) their rivals in order to maintain unity and moral certainty in war. Demons’ attempts to communicate are presented as “lies,” but this mirrors how colonizers often interpreted native diplomacy as deceit when it conflicted with their goals.Frieren as an Agent of Cultural ErasureBy killing demons unquestioningly, Frieren enacts not merely self-defense but cultural erasure. Entire ways of life, languages, and traditions vanish with each demon she slays. The story frames this as heroism, but in another light, it is the eradication of a people. If demons are more complex than human propaganda allows, then Frieren’s role is not that of a liberator but of a genocidal agent.

>>719623513The premise to justify your fake pedophilia is just stupid. Having a longer life span and a slower maturation rate doesn't make one as stupid as you. You can clearly distinguish between a puppy and the bitch of a teen mother that spawned you, can't you?

>>719614207Yes it is
>>719624585yes your shit is overrated, thanks for telling everyone
>>719624585i'd love for one person to actually give a valid critique (As the series isn't without its flaws). But every single time, i always get the most retarded "complaints" that were just the person missing embarrassingly basic elements.

>>719614114>think favorite game is safe due to it being extremely esoteric and in a genre no one likes>some fag still does a video essay about how it broke himMake it stop.
>>719622207>>719617841>The demons are supposed to be mimics without real emotions that only pretend to know stuff humans know by copying them without knowing its real meaningI don't see how that is bad writing. Mimics intentionally disguise themselves as other things to lure prey. Do they need to understand why that works? Not really, because its been working. That is the same in real life too, especially considering camoflauge. Does a stick insect realize its disguised as a stick which makes it harder to spot? Do you think it goes 'animals cant notice me because I look like a stick to them'? Or do you think it goes on with its life not realizing this entire time its not being eaten so easily because it looks like a stick? Some animals probably realize what they are doing because its their natural attack or defense behabior, but they may not know the fundamentals of how it all works. Likewise the demons go 'nooo dont kill me my mommy and daddy will miss me' because the ones that survive say that. The ones that go 'fuck you stupid ass human stab me you little bitchs' or whatever they say are the ones that die.
>>719617189that's my take with frieren, i have no clue what it's actually about. same thing happened to me with darling in the franxx, it was EVERYWHERE and i couldn't tell you what the plot was actually about.at least i am gonna give credit to dungeon meshi, i have an idea what the main cast is like from the memes alone>>719616882you talk like a guy who only reads shonen when he sees his first non chosen one protagonist
