Hello everyone, good viewing🐼
I skibidi with no rizz, who am i??

@@fhsh531 727 when you see it
Could you make a video about this manga called "Nyuu Noomaru"? It's like one of the best new mangas i've read in a while.
Frieren deserves anime of the year 2024
It’s the best anime of the decade let’s keep it real here, but if you’re talking about Crunchyroll so-called awards yeah no JJK or Demon Slayer is winning that
We have to make sure it wins! Madhouse deserves all the awards for this adaptation.
@@Amalingcrunchy: and the award of best fantasy goes to demon sla!
*Points gun* don't you dare finish that sentence
@@Amaling wouldn't go that far. Bocchi wasn't all that long ago. we been eating good!
Let's wait and see what else comes out. Personally I prefer Pluto but Frieren will definitely win based on what's already competing
No matter how much I appreciate Frieren, it still feels I don’t appreciate it enough.
AGREE : )))
trash
Frieren has given us something that's priceless. So we'll probably always feel like we can't appreciate it enough considering how many people it has helped out
Same way tbh
Just wait for them to adapt the next arc in idk 3-4 years Mayby? U will appreciate it even more xd
“I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
I genuinely believe that the fathers of modern fantasy (Tolkien and Lewis) would adore Frieren. Tolkien for the theme of the story and Lewis for the characters
Agreed
Yes, I do imagine that Tolkien would have been much more fond of Frieren than most modern fantasy. So many stories that followed in his mold quickly discarded the core themes that made LOTR so compelling and just opted for power fantasies instead. Odd, because if there is one overriding theme in LOTR, it is that power is fundamentally dangerous and corrosive, even to those with ostensibly good intentions. It isn't exactly subtle on that point.
Tolkien had some story ideas for the fourth age, after Aragorn became king and brought peace. He ended up scrapping them because he felt that nothing could compare to the War of the Ring, and that the peaceful time had no stories worth telling. Frieren figured it out. I think Tolkien would have appreciated how an Elvish protagonist was used to tell this story too.
@@akira_kei_ it was about the decline of Gondor once again under Aragorn's grandson if I recall right. Which is supremely ironic, considering how Tolkien's own grandson feels about and treats his works.
That quote is misattributed. That was said by Gandalf, not Tolkien.
And before everybody starts yelling at me that it's the same thing, no it isn't. The *character* of Gandalf may have believed those words, but the *writer* Tolkien clearly did not believe that was actually true. This is shown by the fact that despite his characters occasionally saying things like this in the books, the entirety of most of Tolkien's works are, in fact, all about _exactly the opposite_ being true: Chosen heroes and epic battles are what _actually_ end up keeping the darkness at bay. Ordinary folks and small acts of kindness don't even enter into his stories most of the time at all, because they just don't actually matter.
So no, Tolkien did not actually say that. One of his _characters_ did, and that's an important distinction, IMHO.
Frieren is the most wholesome Dark Souls final boss and Himmel is a fcking gigachad.
What Ranni/Renalla SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
Himmel , he really make the fake legendary sword become the real legendary sword
too many times in an anime or any story you will see the characters talking about how amazing a character/hero was, who already RiP'ed. a certain "he" or certain "she". but in brief flashbacks that you get glimpse of him/her, of these "legacy" characters, they kinda fall flat or dont seem that amazing or dont live up to the hype at all
i expected Himmel to be like this too. but i was ded wrong. the writer did his character themes justice.
himmel is how long gone in universe legacy characters should be handled. every flashback you get to see him is further confirmation of him being 10/10 chad and characters praising him were right. he is him. it is incredible
It's just tell you that you can achieve anything! @@yobelpetra8652
HIMMEL THE GOAT, EVEN TRIED TO RIZZ A ROCK AND HE ENDED UP SUCCEEDING (after dead tho, but impressive nonetheless)
The episode with the old dwarf Voll hits hard. My grandfather is showing the early signs dementia. I am considering quitting my day job to find an online gig, just to be able to move back to my grandparents' home. I want to spend a lot of time with him before it's too late. He is the father-figure of my life, and it's disheartening to see him realizing that his mind might not be as healthy as it used to be.
I'm young but I have a degenerative condition that is making my mental deteriorate. Cant tell you how much I appreciate the friends and family that want to spend time with me.
I wont be here much longer. Its pretty hard to cope with the fact im losing chunks of myself day by day, but knowing what I did mattered fills me with joy.
Go give a hug to your grandpa ❤❤
Best of luck and hoping for you to have sources of strength as you go on.
we got similar story,
my grandpa got certain degree of dementia before he passed away, he can only remembered my grandma, and few of his child especially my mother.
he passed away 2 months after episode 1 of frieren aired.
I did something similar with the oldest brother of my grandma. Did not own anything to him, took care of him with my grandma and brother for months before he passed away. It was hard but I barely remember the bad stuff. The memories that always come back to me are listening to him and passing time with him. His family did not take care of his advance renal failure but we did. Maybe we did not have the best conection before that but I feel I know him in a way no one ever did. It is worth it. Jobs will come and go but those times are never recovered.
@@MrAvariciawell frick. I hope you enjoy what you can while you still can. Good luck.
For me the moment when Himmel asked Eisen "are you scared" and him agreeing with hands shaking (especially this!) and still doing what needs to be done was So special same goes for Stark. What a lovely show which definately deserves all the praise it gets.
"Feeling scared is not a bad thing. This fear is what got me this far," Eisen's view of fear is very unique and pretty much changed how I view it myself. God, I love this show.
Fearlesness is insanity. Action in spite of fear is bravery.
that's my favorite part omg
its crazy that almost all combat in the manga are summarized in just a few frames but the adaption just goes full out on the action scenes. much credit to the writers and animators
Ya... I don't remember that many action scene in the manga...
@@AppleBS11 the story never needed that many action scenes, but putting them there show the gravitas of their actions and the threat. Visual story telling at its best.
Yeah, which was a pleasant surprise considering how 'to the point' the action panels in the manga was. No flashy chorography, no cool effects, just stuff happening as it intended to. Best example of this was Stark's 'fight' with the Dragon which ended in with him just striking it down.
Madhouse deserves all the love we can provide. They're the real GOATs of Anime!
@@IdOnThAvEaUsE69 madhouse is the madlad that we need, after OPM first season and now frieren madhouse never disappoint...
Himmel is the perfect Hero, not because he's flawless, but because he's not. He's a good and kind person, which also gives him mistakes like sparing the demon child. He's narcissistic but humble. He has faults, yet he's inspiring, He's just a dude, but he's a hero, and he's not just the hero of the world who defeated the demon king, in a sense, he's a hero in anyone's story.
not to forget he has 'never left a floor of dungeon without 100% explor" mind set
Heck, even defeated the demon king just by using 'fake-ass' sword
He feels pretty one note ngl
honestly his only flaw is fumbling frieren
@@juanthegreat3954 I have a pet theory about the Hero's Sword: It was a fake from the beginning. It's not MEANT to be drawn, by anyone. Hell, it's probably screwed into the platform. The POINT of making people fail to draw it is to weed out those weak souls that rely on external validation. Himmel defeated the Demon King because despite all his posing, he is fueled by INTERNAL validation. "I'll defeat the Demon King anyway, with a fake sword." THAT'S the kind of Hero you want. Not someone who does it for the fame or the reward. They do it because it's the right thing to do.
It's also the reason why despite being in love with Frieren, he doesn't push. He's content to holding the love in his heart, unrequited.
I loved the episode where Himmel talks about having fun on his journey even while adventuring dungeons. I feel like a lot of people really focus and work hard to reach their goals, whether its good grades or a better job that they really forget to have fun during the journey. You want to achieve these goals to be happier right, then you should be happy while aiming for them
Literally SAO level writing.
Season 1 Episode 5, to be precise
Thats a nice point
Frieien is approaching peak in one season. It's truly hard to find faults in this story. Frieren emotionally impacts you and keeps you engaged.
It's also one of those very rare times an adaptation enhances the manga so much more
Fault is it's not long enough
Can someone tell me why frieren is popular other than i don't get it that show is boring and before you say i like action i drop jjk,demon slayer i watch the first season and movie then drop and i also drop chainsaw man because i feel bored watching those shows i like more substance in my show and i thought frieren was going to be this incredible story about life and whatnot but it is executed poorly it's like an incomplete concept.i would recommend to your eternity which i think is better than frieren in delving into the themes of how it feels to be essentially an immortal and no just because something is realistic doesn't mean that it's good.vinland saga season 2 didn't have action and it is one of the best story written in fiction it's realistic but also entertaining in a way and knows when not to be realistic.frieren is not bad but it's nothing amazing either but people act as if it's this masterpiece but it's shallow it's like the whole she's an elf that is pretty much immortal and doesn't feel time the same way that humans do and learning to understand it is to make her interesting but doesn't really want to delve into it which is fine if the story and characters weren't so boring the worldbuilding is just your generic fantasy world with a bit of twist,the character designs are nothing special its not bad but also pretty generic,the story doesn't know what it's trying to be,the characters are pretty generic especially stark he is just a coward with a heart of gold character that you see in other anime i like zenitsu more than him but honestly i like zenitsu in general.the story,characters and world feel shallow i feel like I've been gaslit to like this show so i keep watching but man it feels boring and uneventful.i feel that nothing interesting is happening.there never once an emotional scene that made me feel anything or a dialogue that stick to me like i have no enemies
There's a big fault. Not enough pouting and frieren blowing kisses
@@tristan5299it doesnt really need action or purpose. it stands on its own without that clear purpose or action
I've been watching anime for decades now and Frieren is arguably one of the best adapations I've ever seen. It takes an already impressive manga and just makes it better in EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. It's nigh-perfect.
Agreed. Aot is what i always recommend to newbies but now its Frieren. Everybody should experience this masterpiece of an anime
Yes, the manga is lacking in the action department. The anime boosts it up really really good
The most eloquent is the dance scene.
In the manga, it's a single page. A single frigging page.
Sometime it's the details that go unreasonably hard, in the manga frieren wasn't flying when she zoltraak'ed qual, in the anime she did. Why? Because 5 episodes later you learn humans an eleves couldn't fly back in qual's day so ofc frieren would use that to her advantage. Or frieren vs the clone in the latest episode where you see frieren firing a black zoltraak... Why? Because back in the qual fight you remember him using a black zoltraak, the human killing zoltraak, this fight is one big showcase of frieren's bottomless power and knowledge of magic, using the OG zoltraak is the equivalent flexing on these kiddos.
This is the most 11/10 adaptation i've seen in a long time.
I was literally saying this to a friend last night, lmao.
Especially after episodes like ep 25 or ep 26 test finished@@thaqifkhirudin6610
FRIEREN has truly been a breath of fresh air and reminded me why I love anime so much. It has given me serenity it blew my mind with its fights and taught me a lot of good lessons about human interactions time and being open about those around you. I just feel so thankful I don’t know what else to say. It truly feels like this anime has given us much more than we could’ve ever imagined so thank you to all the people involved in one way and another in this anime, you’ve gifted us something special.
What I love about Frieren is how the dialog is written, it is so human and smooth.
And that's why I think is boring for me
I think is decent anime but for me most of the dialogue is boring, is so monotone with no drama, no human interaction are like that past 1 week is like they know themselves for like 1 week max, once you past one week you should get internal jokes more laugh and know each other more and more comfortable around them
@@skydivenextidk dawg, that 1 week that you described is literally how i interact with people who i have known for years. It just is what it is.
Nice PP
@@zmeizy then I think you should get other friends
@@skydivenext other friends dont just spawn in, would be cool tho
The best think is still the naming of the charakters and places. As a German its always kinda hilarius to hear the new names. For example the two exam Mages "Genau" and "Sense" were named after the German Words for "exactly" and "scythe". The hero "Himmel" is "heaven" and the Party ist traveling throug the town "Äußerst" that is best translated to "the very edge" to a place called "Ende" meaning "ending". It is realy funny to explain the Story in German. 😂
Omg no way!!! Did they not change the names in the German version?😂
I'm dutch and the names are really awkward for me too 😭😭there's a city or region called waal which is literally a dutch river, something called vorig (previous), and eisen is just 'to demand' for me (i know in german it's iron or something). then we have actual characters named 'to think' and 'landslide' 😭. I know these names most likely don't mean anything to the average japanese manga reader so they're perfect fantasy names, but when your native language is german, dutch, danish etc it becomes funny. i still love this anime tho
It took me far too long (I think about 10 episodes) until I realized, that the Frieren simple means 'to freeze'. Probably because her age is frozen in time or something.
@@BigFabsel Wait that makes sense! I always thought it was because her demeanour was cold in the beginning
nah man, it has a meaning actually but that may be a spoiler :)@@BigFabsel
i think this anime is so good because a lot of people in the world feel lost in their life and this anime helps remind people that you only have a limited time on this planet. the relationships we forge with others is so important that almost nothing else matters. its very up lifting for people who are trying to find and make connections with others but feel the same way as frieren and want to make that change to be a better person but just don't know if its all worth it in the end because of the fear people now have of others from when we were all locked inside our houses for a few years. IMO this show will help some people pick up the broken pieces they feel and put them back into place and help them to move on and live life to its fullest.
Nah I'd rather watch fumetsu no anatha
the best way of saying it in a nutshell is that Frieren is not an anime, it's a message
or you could say that frieren is basically an anime version of meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Honestly this anime has given me so much needed and interesting life lesson that I barely able to enjoy it as an anime, but more of a "wise someone that gives you a couple of philosophical and life lesson without them knowing."
I cherish frieren for the amount of stuff I could potentially apply in real life situations, especially as the things that frieren learns are something that very naturally happens irl. So I do hope that frieren would be able to influence more and more medias to be as mature and interesting as frieren is!
Isn’t that like every single anime? I mean, building and cherishing relationships and change aren’t new concepts in anime at all. They’re like the foundation upon alot of anime’s build their story. Just sayin 🤷🏾♂️
Really Himmel is such a gigachad that his rizz is immortal. All the characters are so well built. Denken, Methode all are just side characters but with very good depth. I love it.
I don't exactly agree about Methode. For now she is more of a plot device character who can do a bit of everything, and thus manifests the very skill author needs for the plot to happen at every given moment. I really hope that her character is about to get more fleshed out in the future.
@@Arc_NixBut Denken is still the best of the new bunch of characters and he is on my top 3 of this anime characters
@@Arc_Nix I'm a simple guy. I saw very cute scenes of Fern and Frieren with Methode involved and I started to like her. A lot actually 🫢
@@Arc_NixYes she will actually get a bit more appearance in the future story. But not suuuper much, it is fine tho.
Methode is just a mature woman around 30 years old who's just very sure of herself and what she can and can't do. She's basically a jack of all trades. But master of none. She's not the strongest mage, but she's competent enough to be a first class mage. Plus she's able to use priest class magic to just as competent a degree as regular magic. So she's the perfect girl for Sein. Unfortunately he didn't stick around, lol. Poor Sein.
The attention to detail is insane in this anime, the animation is amazing, and the story is well written. I don’t understand why we can’t have more serious with mature and well written characters like this. No high pitched characters voices, no super Unnecessary nudity, no crappy animation, pure love into this series. Some scenes for example, stark is putting on his jacket, fern sitting on the stool, and so forth just have such amazing animation. Amazing fight scenes, not even that long but I love to see the stunning visuals, the swing and parries of weapons that feel like they have wait to them. I am extremely in love with this series and can’t wait to see more of it.
@Noctislolig In the last five years I feel like I can list a total of 15 - 20 anime that fits those criteria, but the problem is they often range from 12 - 24 episodes and so amount to very little content. Whereas each season we get dozens of poorly conceived and produced nonsense shows, and a few alright shows, that no one remembers. This is most anime content we get these days.
For those interested, I'd recommend some of my favorites, which often has more thought and care put into it than other more generic anime:
Boogiepop wa Warawanai (2019)
Sonny Boy (2021)
Mob Psycho (2016-2022)
Dororo (2019)
Ousama Ranking (2021)
Odd Taxi (2021)
Wonder Egg Priority (2021)
Deca-Dence (2020)
Yeah, and maybe you'd like a million dollars and a mansion too?
yep, I’m not saying this is the only one, I’m a huge fan of Vinland saga and AOT, but what I’m saying is the way this anime is portrayed should be the norm. Good story, not just a bunch of sexualizing teeneragers every time to sell product.
@@V25021 you are write, I think I compare this to the insane amount of trash isekai,Shonen, or just a bunch of other genres where they just spit a 12-24 for the sake of making profit. I think I’m just tired of the same rinse and repeat that when I get thrown a gem like Frieren, then I start holding anime to a higher standard.
@@V25021Horimiya?

i had just lost my mom recently and my friend recommended this anime for me but i put it off for months. i recently started watching it and let's just say i was not ready to be hit so hard by the absolutely beautifyl story and incredible soundtrack and characters. it made me cry my eyes out a bunch of times
my condolences for your loss, may your mother rest in peace but i am glad that you are able to watch this magical anime and understand the limitations of life and time

11:53, Chapter 1: The Starkening
As Stark graced the coffee shop with his presence, Fern began to get the feeling that she wuv wuv wuved him. God I wish I was playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth right now. Why did Garnt have to spring this on us the day it came out?
Anyway, Stark made like a true gentleman and tipped his fedora at Fern, uttering that single glorius word that would make any woman fall in love: "milady."
Just then, the entire café fell silent, and Fern took the opportunity to seductively whisper the words she'd forever wanted her ginger lover to hear right into his cute little ear: "Stark, I believe there is an imposter among us in this café."
Peak fiction ^

At this point that song is just an easy "get teary eyed" button for me.
F**king hell man…every single time I hear Made in Abyss OST I get chills and get emotional,this series is just on a different level when it comes to soundtracks
@@maclin5838 the GOAT Kevin Penking his soundtrack is a masterpiece. Also Evan Call especially with his Violet one created something amazing
Another thing that the anime adaptation does that adds to the point of "live in the moment" is make little things SO GODDAMN GORGEOUS. It would be so easy for the animation team to skip past small things like the movement of Fern tucking her cape and skirt underneath her before she sits down, or the flower turtle dude, or the way Frieren blows the candles out on her cake, but they put time and effort into them so that people who slow down and enjoy the small moments are rewarded with beautiful animation. I feel like the animation team really understood the themes of the manga and adapted it well
Frieren is peak for me, has everything I love in a show, great characters, story, action, and even moments of comedy.
uuuuuuuuuu it's dark and scary. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Scary. Mimic scenes dont get old. They could put one in every episode and it would not be overused cause shes that into trying to get the loot, however small chance.
yea i feel like its something i could come back to time and time again and still find new ways to appreciate. isnt really a single area where its anything less than great. even the romance is fun and believable which is far more than can be said for most recent fantasy anime
@Andytlp I can't wait until they pull the rug out from under us and she actually finds a rare grimoire.
The comedy is cheap, mostly it's a random moment to break up the tense, but tbh that mimic scene is too repetitive, i bet in other anime something else would happen, instead of making it a harmless joke or something
@@kiwoxgen9929 It's called a gag, something characters do all the time.
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve come across a series that hooked me and kept me wanting more as much as Frieren has.
One of my favorite things about Frieren is that the world actually feels LARGE. Traveling from town to town doesn't happen in 5 minutes, but feels like it sometimes takes months just to reach the next city.

It just shows them to you.

Thanks to everything Sensei, I want to share with you my gratitude upon learning about the passing of the legendary Akira Toriyama, it's a moment that has stirred a mix of emotions and I felt compelled to express my appreciation for the immense impact he had on redefining the Shonen Genre by creating Dragon Ball he left an indelible mark on countless hearts, mine included growing up Dragon Ball was more than just an animated series, it's a source of inspiration, teaching valuable lessons about friendship, determination, discipline and the constant pursuit of self improvement, the entire adventure of Goku and his allies became a part of my journey and I'm grateful for that, it shapes the Big Three of Shonen, without Dragon Ball they don't even exist, thank you Toriyama for making my childhood special.
May the GOAT Rest In Peace.
My top 2 this season too
Evan Call brought the series to another level. It has the feel of a classic lotr story.
Preach!
Between his score, the OPs and the ED’s, Frieren just don’t miss musically
@@mario98730 I can't think of a single memoral piece in his OST.
It might just be mere exposure, but Violet Evergarden was WAY better in terms of music
and you could tell that he was actually engaging with how the music was supposed to work with the story.
The one thing i despised about Frieren, was that there weren't more episodes. Show absolutely slaps. I want more, and i want it now.
The most recent episode where we finally get to see pissed off Frieren (Albeit a clone) after losing an arm or two, god DAMN is this show good. That may be the only moment in the entire story where we'll ever see actually enraged Frieren (Albeit a clone) and that only adds to the experience. Like experiencing Ryan Gosling lines in Driver. The restraint and focused attention to his lines/Frieren's emotions means when they hit, they REALLY hit.
The way she looked at fern like she was bug that was annoying her lol…..Jesus Christ man….
I'm usually not someone who speaks while watching but that moment when she cold stared at fern, I had to pause because that came unexpectedly hahahaha I genuinely felt fear for a split second🤣🤣
Fern used "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" and ALMOST got her.
I love the compliment she gives Fern afterwards : "I haven't had to use that one in 80 years."
That episode made me realize why she only uses simple offensive magic. If she were to use those reality bending spells, she may be looked at as a threat to the entire world and thus chooses not to use them. Also the fact that she's relatively peaceful and probably views a lot of those spells as over the top and eccentric despite them being so powerful. I love how simple you had effective some of the combat concepts in the show are. Everyone has a different approach to the situations they're put into and it makes it really interesting and unexpected how they're going to overcome the obstacle in front of them

Haha I also noticed that as soon as he did that.
@@moss8809 for real, it was kinda traitorous even - made me teary-eyed
By the end of this video I got the same feeling when I binge watched the first 8 episodes through the night. I felt so at peace and cozy with how the story was going that honestly I haven't felt that for a long time. I really needed an anime like this. You've described this anime better than anyone could I guess. Thank you.
This video was so so so emotional, it was so great to learn about this, I'm very grateful somehow, Himmel was such a character I could only think about him but now with Himmel and Fieren and everyone in the series..
The thoughts.. are gathered, I began to see what was so strong, so intelligent for the story. Meanings that meant for the world to put close to their hearts,
Appreciating time is truly wonderful.
Dude... I want to say frieren made me cry nearly every episode for at least the first like 13-17ish episodes, basically up until the 1st class exam started.
I think it has to do with how nearly all those episodes related what was going on back to her past journey with himmel as we watched frieren slowly discover what she missed and took for granite with her old party those years back, through the lense of hind sight now that she is retracing her steps.
I feel you so hard dude, same for me
good cries too
Madhouse really cooking Freiren
They weren't even that sad. What even made u cry?
weak
Poop gang here
??
Even just a clip of frieren made me cry,because it’s honestly shown in every scene how valuable one life is and how we should appreciate everything we have before it’s gone,nothing lasted forever and the show frieren bring that out so much,it’s the sense of nostalgic,it’s the sense of longing for someone,it’s the feeling of the moment that truly matters and that no matter how the world change people does feel the sense of belonging somewhere,and for frieren who was a elf that had lived for many many years,she still have that memories,she’s someone who will remember everything even if others won’t,the author choose the best person that can convey this specific topic,an elf that can live for a long time and i think that’s what make frieren very emotional and deep
Frieren changed me as a person. The older I got the more listless and reclusive I became as a person. It felt like I was being left behind by time and that it was moving so fast. Frieren and her journey to process her loss and her love for her fellow comrades really woke me up. What really hit me hard was that she has always looked at her time with those she loved in a hopeful light, never sadness. The crazy production with insane fights have never been what made Frieren good, it's always been the quiet and somber moments where she basks in the lights of her memories. The moments where she learns to ground herself to those around her and learn more about her current party. Frieren is just so sentimental and beau tiful.
Exactly! I am so fed up with all those people praising the fight scenes. Sure they are good, but the central point of Freiren is the philosophical and life aspect of it.
@@Wei-HsuLin And then there are people who don't even understand this aspect and go on to judge the show
This show hooked me in a way I can’t really explain to the point where saturday-Thursday is just a count down to the newest episode
Exactly, me too!! And I've already read the manga a year ago.
An anime like Frieren will never win AOTY just look at Vinland Saga losing to JJK people dont care about a good written story they only care about their 20mins of dopamine
Frieren has a chance bc It's more popular
@@taulantguri2684 If we talmbout popularity Demon Slayer comes out this year and that’ll probably win
@@Rudeuslul my god demon slayer is such a mid tho. The manga art is not even that good and the story is pretty bad at times.
@@ppsaha1994 yea but thats not what ppl care about they jus care about the fights being good lol and good animation
Let's just be happy that we got such insane shows, 2023 was the best year for anime and that we can all agree on
I'm turning 32 in a couple weeks, been watching anime since I was 4.
Among the many countless anime I've watched, Frieren feels like it's in a category all its own. There's nothing else quite like it, and the personal impact of it is immeasureable.
Fairy Tale usually end with Happily Ever After, yet that Happily Ever After is exactly where the true story begin which I'm interested in.
Sometimes, it is a thriller plot twist where the MCs turn out to be actually evil or doesn't age well as time passed like Maleficient or AoT.
Sometimes, it is about handling and resolving the aftermath of the previously overflattering presumingly glorious event such as Cap A Civil War or BvS or Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse
Sometimes, it is a soothing epilogue that address all those easter eggs we have overlooked during our initial journey like Frieren did.
Legitimately, Frieren is the best new anime of the past three years. I'm not one for superfluous statements, but I've watched enough anime to know greatness when I see it.
I'd say it's up there with Pluto, Oddtaxi, Ranking of Kings, and Apothecary Diaries for best new anime in the 2020's. Wouldn't necessarily say it is the best but definitely a contender.
@@Ash_Wen-li nice seeing you again. Danger in my heart, mushoku tensei and bocchi too (link click too if we count china). All shows I would give somewhere in the 8-8.7/10 range. Not as highly rated by the masses but I think Sonny boy is just as good if not better than all of them, amazing short show.
@@Ash_Wen-li I like frieren a lot too but I also think there are book series that are in a similar enough area of appeal but much better done like say the wandering inn which while probably the longest fantasy series of all time (13 million words roughly atm and still going strong) is a fucking amazing slice of life epic fantasy series.
no, pluto and Vinland are just the first two anime of this year that immediately came to mind and which are objectively superior to frieren in every way. mushoku, 86, summer rendering,re:zero are also superior but not so much
@@dhjijejd6980Maybe vinland saga but since I prefer fantasy so frieren all the way.
There is no anime better than Freiren imo. It does nearly every genre better than those genres. As a side note I am excited for the future of this. Season 2 Freiren will be amazing, and having the MAL #1 anime be from this/last year will be great for anime as a whole.
It's a masterpiece for sure. Brilliantly written, from dialogue, to themes, to general structure. It also has a surprising amount of subtlety in characterisation, and doesn't spoonfeed to you every feeling or thought a character has, or go overboard explaining a situation. There's actually space to read between the lines. Some of these even come from little character animations that give away what they might actually be thinking. On top of that, it's got very well animated fight scenes, and the music is top-notch. Not a bad word to say about it.
It isn't even 7/10 yet people claim it is masterpiece. lmao There is nothing to explain in Frieren because there isn't anything to explain, it is one dimensional shounen.
@@user-lh5my4ws8j ain’t a masterpiece by any means either but calling it a one dimensional shounen is insane to me. Solid 8-8.5 /10 series depending on how the season ends for me.
@@user-lh5my4ws8j In the nicest way possible, I have a feeling you wouldn't know good writing even if it was tattooed on your retina. You can personally not like the show, but denying its writing demonstrates a lack of understanding.
@@RoaringTide It's just a troll dude, never feed a troll.
@@ImFrelled It's hard to tell. There are a LOT of media-illiterate people out there.
I can relate so much with Frieren during the sunrise scene. Whenever the year starts anew and hundreds of fireworks are being blasted into the air, I can't stop to "not" enjoy it. Even though it's occurring every year again and again, people are all celebratory and crazy about the earth having made a 360° once again which makes me shrug at it all, I again cannot stop enjoying the moment when it *does* arrive.
And when I look around and see that I am surrounded by friends or family, which I was hesitant to celebrate with in the first place (I'm not big on crowds), I feel happy. I feel satisfied and also just- loved.
It's a weird feeling to describe and it's probably only possible to truly understand how Frieren would've felt if you felt it for yourself.
That's how relatable Frieren is. And that's how deep it hits. It keeps you grounded. Definitely the best show I've ever seen.
Acres of almond trees lined the interstate highway which complimented the crazy driving nuts.
There's just a certain thing with the current exam arc. We all enjoy Frieren as it is but we also occasionally got some sprinkles of sugar put on our lips; a little taste of what Frieren's power is. And after this "long", yet fleeting journey, we get to see what she's got in her arsenal. And while the combat animations weren't necessary for this series, they absolutely deliver (especially in the latest episode 26). Greatest anime of the year that may turn into a modern classic people will look back to for years to come. And for certain one I'll go back to once in a while to settle down on a cold winter day. I hope we'll be blessed to see more of it
I really loved that we always make fun of anime that have people explain how they win, or what they will do for a long time, in frieren they spend like 80% of every epsiode doing that, it was so bad and unrealistic, like it was parodying battle shounen but actually doing it worse unironically, what a terrible arc.
I think this is one of the first shows I have ever been so hyped for and that broke every single expectation I had for it. The amount of love and care that was put into every single frame in this anime really shows. The music, the art, the animation, everything down to simple things like the sounds of footsteps on leaves or the fluttering of clothes in the wind all results in some of the most breathtaking scenes I have ever watched in an anime.
The biggest thing I can hope for now is that if there is a second season, which seems very likely with just how popular it is, that it gets the same amount love and care put into it as the first season.
I think second season is guaranteed since TOHO is producing this series (every toho project that have successful launch always received second season) but my only hope is for the core staff to comeback. I was worried about this since saito (the director) probably going to get busy with bocchi S2. But only time will tell. I think core staff like reiko nagasawa (character designer) and tooru iwasawa (the action director and reiko husband) will surely comeback. Kouki fujimoto and vercreek was also going to be back if the schedule was clear (both are a big fan of the manga). But fukushi never make Season 2 is concerning. But frieren has another influential producer too like nakame. So i think not having fukushi connection is not really that concerning
Don't cry, it would be embarassing when we meet again.
The intro just proves Gigguk's infinite wisdom, respectable of him to share a tiny fraction of it with us.
1:20
Ah man, why'd you have to go and put AI art in the collage of people you called "Talented Artists"?
14:04 "sometimes feels like you don't want to care about anything, or at least, you're exhausted about doing so"
damn that is on point!
I havent felt this way about fantasy since i read Lotr for the first time. Frieren is absolute peak fantasy. Finally something that deserves to dethrone FMAB.
I dont think it deserves to dethrone FMA(B) (yet) but at least compared to what dethroned it before and how much of an overrated bs they were at least this one has more of a claim. Bleach TYBW, Oshi no Ko Spy x Family and all those other stuff were just recency bias cr*p.
Btw i don't even think FMAB itself deserves n1 spot but at least out of all the popular choices it seems the best option. If i had a saying of the top anime i would put stuff like LoGH, NGE (more specifically EoE), Serial Expeirments Lain etc. I also slightly prefer FMA 2003 version to FMAB despite some of its flaws close to its final.
I just cried over and over to the opening parts of the tale. Of great friends finishing a long journey together but one doesn't feel the weight of it before it is far too late. It is a reminder to care and get to know the people in your lives more. To appreciate family and friends to the best of your ability before it is too late. To live with no regrets even after having a brilliant adventure.
The lesson of this show is very similar to that of Hunter Hunter. When Gon finally meets Ging he turns out to just be a cool dude Gon just finds him in the theater where the election takes place. And Ging tells Gon to enjoy the detours of life. That is so powerful. I love this message. The point of life is to enjoy it.
And aside from the emotional aspect, in which it completely dominates right now.
There's the animation, and sure there's the flashy sparkles, the dimension-contorting super flashy, REALLY COOL animation.
But what really matters, what no other show spends this much time on... is the little things.
Just like the story, there's insane focus on the clothes, hair, small gestures, expressions, movement, mannerisms, and more.
Clothes and hair move the way you expect them to in calm, windy, and fighting environments, they flow with the character as if we're watching a real person.
Everything in this anime is carefully crafted so as to leave a striking, REAL impression. Everything is cared for.
The voice acting goes without speaking 😶🌫
Edit: Garnt did in fact touch on this at 12:00, I'm sorry for speaking.
7:30 "I have the personality of wet cement" that line made me laugh 🤣
8:50 "fuckin sunrise innit"
I love this line so much haha
There’s a reason why Frieren is number 1 on MAL rn, BECAUSE ITS PEAK 🗣️
and they were saying it was going to get dethroned like a month ago lol
@@talkingdotit's just like the rest of overhype anime
Remember what happened to oshinoko? How long they lasted in that throne?
@@kiwoxgen9929Oshi No Ko had one of the best first episodes I've ever seen, but the rest of the series is merely good. Frieren has been consistently great for its whole run
Ofc Frieren is going to go dawn after a while. Although I prefer Frieren, I can't deny that FMA deserves no.1 imo you cant call Frieren no.1 before it's even finished
@@talkingdotit will once it ends and a new mainstream hype show comes out but for now nah
As a person in their early 40’s who has been watching anime since they were a child I seem to have a hard time getting into some of the new series these days… though that was not the case with Frieren! It’s such a chill and beautiful show I fell in love with it immediately. 10/10.
What's up with the new series for you? Genuinely curious. Something about modern trends in anime? Or, perhaps, its oversaturation?
Ok now I know for sure he did not watch the other anime hes criticizing in comparison or he has outright amnesia
Frieren is just that show that hits different. It's a cozy, chill show that you can watch on a rainy, Saturday morning
*Saturday
I really like this take. When I first heard about Frieren's portrayal of time and relationships, I thought it sounded really good, but not something I'd like to watch. But the series is SO much more than it's incredible portrayal of time.
It's also a beautiful and well-written classical fantasy series. What I particularly like is how refreshing it is. Humans, for once, are typically pretty good people. Even the "rude" guards who stop the main party from entering a town are shown to be strict, but firm, simply doing their jobs. People are just going about their lives and typically wish well for each other. The series doesnt focus on showing the dark and twisted side of humanity, but rather on the good side - which is actually what we all see and take for granted imo.
And the demons arent just some misunderstood humanoid race that humanity hates for no reason. They are actual predators that dont think like humans. You cant reason with them. So many stories focus on the whole "human bad, demons misunderstood" trope, but the classical fantasy stories were more about the goodness of humanity and overcoming obstacles rather than showing how shitty we all are. I like that Frieren pays homage to that.
To me this is one of the first anime I’ve seen in a minute that captures that LOTR feeling I’ve been wanting
You only partially mentioned it, but one of my favorite parts is the animation. One good example of what I'll talk about you actually show at around 11:30. There's so much detail in that one small scene that I wouldn't be surprised if they used motion capture, and that's not the only time it feels like that. Motion capture might be seen as an easier way out by some, but to me it means they're willing to use more money to pay someone to act out things like clenching their fist, small details that usually get overlooked, just because they feel like it. It might make the overall animation "easier" in some cases, but that's extra money spent on something most people would consider pointless and I think it goes to show the love the team puts into this series. And to top it all off, the animation has remained constant throughout the 26 episodes that have aired as of right now, and to anyone who's seen episode 26, just imagine how much time and money was spent on the 5-6 minutes you see Frieren fighting.
I think you may be referring to rotoscoping when talking about motion capturing. It's not as expensive, but still requires an artistic sense to know when and how to blend it into animation so it looks nice at the right moment.
Nah, I think they just filmed reference.
Which you are STUPID if you DON'T use it! Like I'm pretty sure animators aren't stupid and they always film so previz IRL to animate things, because jebus christu: I can't imagine how difficult it would be to animate things from scratch...
@@AHeroWith1000Names Rotoscoping has to do with changing camera angles, at least from what I can tell. In the example I gave the camera angle doesn't change at all, it's Fern's movement that looks almost real, all the way down to how her clothes move, that's what I'm talking about.
@@jesustyronechrist2330 I agree, people can be idiots for thinking animators shouldn't use reference videos. But even if they used reference videos, and not motion capture like I said, they still did a great job animating these small details and I love it.
@@purpelthing Changing camera angles is not necessary, look at Chika's dance (from Kaguya-sama), it's fully rotoscoped, camera stays on a fixed angle, and it's majestic.
Frieren really deserves that #1 spot on MAL. Here's hoping it doesn't eventually get docked down by the rabid hordes of FMAB fans and their infinite bot accounts.
But seriously, this show is amazing and the only reason I'm worried about the eventual season 2 is because this one was so peak that it's a wonder how it'll ever go higher.
Also this goes without saying but even if she never makes another appearance in the series, Ubel will be my favorite character.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End emphasizes the old phrase "The journey is more important than the destination". Frieren has experienced this first hand, as during her time with Himmel, Eisen and Heiter, she did not appreciate the social relationships she made with the group enough until it was too late. Luckily, she got another chance with Fern, Stark and Sein.
Also, it is noticeable that, unlike in many works of fiction where immortality is something people and evil organizations crave, Frieren shows you the downside of eternal life.
I especially love how this series manages to write basically all of its side characters in a way where you know they all have their own stories to tell and histories that could be an entire series on its own. This is especially true for characters in the manga and im particularly excited for them to animate the chaddy hero of the south.
This is one series that I'm never going to forget and I've been watching anime for many years. I love the world that they built up and the power system and how creative it can be. Also it's amazing how the little moments can leave such an impression on your mind and how we should all be appreciating them more. This is also one of the only anime I've ever watched that actually had me tearing up at the ending song and animation. It's really beautiful and showing how she overcame her grief of losing her friends but made new ones to fill that hole and can continue on with some sort of purpose. The show is a lot deeper than I expected and I really appreciate it for it.
Frieren is learning to appreciate all the little things happening in what she believes is only a short time in her life. Much like omni-man from invinible.
Easily the best anime I've seen in a long, long time.
I think this is the only anime so far that I could enjoy even though I've read the manga. Usually I don't really enjoy watching an anime adaptation of a manga that I've just read because there's nothing that surprise me anymore, but Frieren anime is so good that even a scene that I've read in the manga is still enjoyable to watch and felt different. Salute to Madhouse for the amazing adaptation!
I took a minute to come around to appreciating how amazing Frieren is. The beginning was so out of the ordinary they needed to give us 4 episodes right away because if they didn't they'd have lost too many people before the story really got going.
Frieren a series to be named as a MODERN-MASTERPIECE!
Sexy music, fights, characters, ocean of emotions! Relatable!!!
Deserves recognition even among non anime fans just as huge as GOT so some Hollywood shit!
Im here to talk about that one event that happened where a chad himmel fan saved a person because "he would have done so, too"
I very much appreciate the touch with soundtrack from "Made in Abyss" in the sunrise scene. Details like this I do like very much in your videos.
Watching Frieren was such a peaceful experience that actually made me value the little moments and connections we make with people.
I'm glad I put it off because now I binged it when I needed it the most. Uplifting story that made me smile even in a moments that realistically should've caused me to cry.
I'm expecting season 2 to hit just as hard.
It will be the anime that defines the 2020s decade
3:15 to skip the sponsor
Thank you
11:53 absolute gold
14:38 This scene still brings a bitter sweet smile to my face. Himmel is just chefs kiss
The timing that this video came out by one of my favorite content creators is immaculate, I have just recently started Sousou no Frieren (by that I mean a week ago), and I've completely fallen in love with it.
Everything about this anime was amazing, it gave me a greater appreciation of what time is, it changed the perspective of my life and gave me a reason to push on through life to really do appreciate and recognize those who appreciate me as a person.
I've had a really tough couple of weeks as life is pushing a greater weight on my shoulders, I was at loss of where my life is directing. But the reason why Frieren saved me was given during the first episode, when Frieren says, "Why didn't I get to know him better?". Oh boy did that hit me straight in the gut. It really did make me reflect on my life, and of course, I binge watched it to the very most recent episode.
I personally believe that Frieren will stay at that top spot of anime of all time for me, and that doesn't apply to everyone, nor am I pushing that spot to anyone else. It's just a beautiful anime of bittersweet emotions, excellently portrayed by scenes of the past. Especially the scenes with Himmel and Frieren, they never fail to bring a tear to my eye. The appreciation of a love realized far far far too late, yet accepted in the best possible way :'3
aight that's enough yapping, sorry.
You're good at yapping though. Not only is your text catchy, but you also space paragraphs very well -- a really digestable youtube longcomment for once. Cheers for hitting personal fiction jackpot! :D
Thank you so much :'3 @@AHeroWith1000Names
When you're expecting less, it gives more. When you're expecting more, it gives peakness. That's frieren for me. Idc if it's not winning AOTY for any award, or any better franchise that'll release this year, it has won me
The thing about the sunrise scene that worked so well is: Her words had two meanings. "Thank you, I would have never been able to see this alone"
Which Fern takes as Frieren being unable to wake up in time and thanking her because it was worth it.
But the moment Frieren was refering to is: Ferns smile. THAT was the thing she could have never seen. Not so much the beauty of the sunrise but the happiness it brought others. That is something she could not have witnessed alone.
Yoooo How did you know i was in toilet 💀
Kanehito Yamada is the goat. It's not Frieren without her so let's give her the credit she deserves. Awesome mangaka.
12:32
Frieren VS Frieren is one of the most beautifully animated fights I've ever seen
I was shocked how good Frieren was. The best thing about it that it doesn't have the anime over the top squirming and screaming character. Everything is really subtle and beautifull.
The way this show makes me feel I just can't describe it it tbh. Every second of every episode just makes me happy, every frame every ost is just so good and it all just fits together so perfectly nothing is rushed or even slightly out of place the pace of every moment is just perfect and I honestly don't know when the last time I was just 100 percent just sitting back and enjoying a show for the sake of it
Seeing giguck talk smack about violet evergarden and then says how frieren is different enough to like her made me think he never saw it
0:04 grant past tense name dropped lfgggg🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I discovered Frieren back when you made a video on the manga and as such you gave me the opportunity to finally be *that guy* who read the manga (unfortunately, I can’t say “the manga is better” to drive people more insane because the adaptation was SO GOOD)!
Always love this stuff, thank you.
Ever since 2019 we all felt like time moves so fast like what frieren feel i think that is what makes it all the more beautiful
This weeks episode was so peak aswell, Ubel is so cold
