Although we missed Stark these pass few episodes I like how they reestablished how he's genuinely a great and lovable guy. The townsfolk knows him well by name, and the kids love him too. Now as for the master, I don't think he has done any training with him. I COULD BE WRONG, but I have a feeling it began and ended at the old guy coming up to him telling him you have reached a high level, I have nothing left to teach you.
A mere 10 Years folks!. one of the best shows in a while! Let us know what you guys are hype for next season & remember to drop a like. We appreciate you guys so much for joining us on the Frieren Journey We hope you can find something else you like on our channel! Much love! - Hideout Crew
Fern almost made me cry, because the spell she chose is one the talked about very early on in the anime if I remember, and they really wanted a spell like that because they thought daily life would be a lot easier🤣 it’s just so cute. She got it.
Frieren is now up there in my favorite animes of all time. I can't wait for S2 and it has a good chance of being my favorite of all time :) My top 3 is AOT, Violet Evergarden and Code Geass
We may have to react to Attack on Titan... Dee still hasn't seen it at all! Code Geass is a classic, I still cry on the "Stay alive" scene. I need to watch Violet Evergarden. I've heard mixed reviews on it but i will say more often than not, people say its really good. thanks for sharing! - TEV
I meant to give Violet Evergarden a shot a long time ago cause its from my favorite animation studio Kyoto animation. I feel like its gonna punch me hard in my feels though and I gotta be mentally prepared for that haha - Red
Although we see Serie as older and should be more mature, she comes off a tsundere because of how she acts. However, something key to note about her is to our knowledge so far she did not have any figure like Himmel to change her the way Frieren did. So Serie has been living a somewhat lonely existence with all of her interactions being that of a student-master relationship. She loves her students, but even someone who's been with her for at least 50 years like Lernon does not truly understand her and address her any deeper than her being his master. So, like Frieren said, they are awkward and Serie is childish. Fern would have the same relationship with Frieren if Frieren didn't change, but as you can see Fern is much more playful with Frieren and they try to express their love for each other.
Late to your party, but thanks for letting me go along for the ride. Top 3 anime as of this post: Frieren is first as of now. Berserk Ruruoni Kenshin Great Teacher Onizuka has been bumped to 4th now. 3 of those on the list are strong for story, characters and life-lessons. Berserk is the outlier.
An amazing Journey! Currently my top 3 is the following: 1) 86 2) Frieren 3) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood I believe that our favourite animes shouldn't be a static thing but something that is always changing as we experience better and more meaningful adventures, so hopefully, in a few years, this list will be totally different
The second person to say 86. 🤔 Making me more and more interested to check out. It's funny because they also had FMAB in their top 3 as well. Understandable it's a classic banger. I agree with you. Three top list and favs needs to be an event evolving list as you take in new media. I love seeing unusual picks and not just, "Naruto, DBZ and one piece" in these comments. (Even tho those are great shows don't get me wrong.) -TEV
Top 3 1. Hunter x Hunter 2 Frieren 3. Code Geass. Frieren feels like a mix between Hunter Hunter and violet evergarden. I’ve been watching anime my whole life (I’m 27), and I’ve never really seen a show do what Frieren just did. I caught up with the manga last week and can confidently say it’s peak. If the next arc gets the same level of treatment that season 1 adaptation got, it could tie Hunter x Hunter for me.
You got some top tier stuff there with Code Geass and HxH. Good taste. And yeah everyone thats read frieren manga keeps saying the same thing that the next arcs would be peak if theyre adapted with this level of care. Getting me excited lol. Its gonna be a longggg wait though. Going to have to find something that can scratch this itch now that Frieren has left behind tbh. It will be interesting to see how fast we get another season of frieren and what it will look like because when they greenlit production of the show I do not think they knew it would become this massive phenomenon. Obviously they were expecting it to do well cause they chose to adapt it but it really took over the anime world during its airing. Im anxious to see how they will navigate now because of its massive success not only in Japan but in the west as well. - Red
TEVs literally like "this anime's got me denken, it's got me lernen". Jokes aside, though, this anime is a new favorite of mine. I read a good chunk of Frieren a few years ago and loved it, but kinda put it down to save up chapters for a long while. After the anime started I picked it back up again because everyone kept talking up the arc that I only got a couple of chapters into before taking a break. Well, in the 6 months we've had anime-Frieren I've probably re-read the manga 2.5 times while enjoying the weekly episodes. I'm currently having a similar experience with Trigger's adaptation of Dungeon Meshi, and it's insane that these two dream adaptations aired so close to each other. Other than that it's really hard to say when the last time I enjoyed anime like this was. Top 3 is actual torture to pick, but if I'm not gonna overthink I just wanna throw the Aria series out there, along with Patlabor: The Early Days, and maybe Nodame Cantabile. None of my newer picks are overlooked gems, they're all popular for good reason lol. As for spring 2024, definitely checking out the redo Spice and Wolf anime, been thinking about reading the light novels for years, but they beat me to it. Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru, I know is going to be sweet and funny, but I'm not sure if the anime will deliver more than the manga already does. Girls Band Cry seems interesting, but they have to pull off good character dynamics since it looks like they're going for a social misfits gathering sort of thing. The rest is either stuff I'm not caught up with in any form, or I'm committed to the books.
I love this comment haha 🤣. I for one am super interested in Dungeon Meshi. I'll end up watching it one way or another! Unfortunately I haven't heard of Patlabor before but i did see that an anime for it has been announced, maybe I'll get a chance to get into it. Nodame Cantabile is amazing! I never hear anyone talk about it! So many people mentioned spice and wolf! I remember watching the original a LONG time ago. I would say I'm surprised but i feel like people who would like frieren would totally be about that show!
Top three anime: Cowboy Bebop Frieren Konosuba There's a few others in the same general area: FMA: Brotherhood, Mushoku Tensei; but those three are pretty solid in their positions right now. As for Stark being largely out of the picture over the last arc, that's fine. As noted, he got a lot of his development right after his introduction. And in addition, he doesn't really need as much attention as others. Like the old Lynyrd Skynyrd song, he's a simple man. Not simple in that he's unintelligent. While he's certainly not as educated as his other party members, he's got a head on his shoulders. He just doesn't have a lot of confidence or worldly experience. Hes fine letting others sit in the limelight while he does-as Wirbel noted in this episode-the behind the scenes stuff that people will remember personally years and decades down the toad.
Cowboy Bebop is a classic. Cant go wrong with that. We just finished reacting to Konosuba Season 1 a few minutes ago and it was pretty enjoyable! Bortherhood is of course on of the GOATs. A lot of people have been saying Mushoko Tensei is up their for their favorites. I think we might have to bring it to the channel at some point since it seems to have so many fans. And yeah im really curious to see what happens in the coming season 2 with our Party and what other adventures we get into. A lot of my favorite moments from the show were just side quests that we were getting into like Old Man Voll. Im so glad we decided to watch Frieren. It definitely gave me one of the most refreshing viewing experiences in a long time. It makes me sad when I see others giving up on it within the first couple episodes. - Red
Frieren and Mushoku Tensei are fighting for top spot on my list of favorites depending how I feel, so it's good that now when Frieren is done for the time being, in mere 2 weeks Mushoku Tensei season 2 part 2 is starting. Distant third would probably be Cowboy Beebop. God I love this show, it's one of those that just feels like it was made especialy for me and what I like and appreciate, characters, characters, characters, and like the best of them, it subverts your expectations at every step, not by mocking or dishonoring the tropes, but somehow it manages to reinforce and compliment those same tropes while subverting them at the same time. It's just magical.
I haven't gotten into Mushoku Tensei. I watch the first few episodes and then just kind of stopped when life got busy. Red and Dee haven't seen it at all either. It might be something to look into. Cowboy bebop is a classic. very good semi-episodic character driven comfort show. used to watch it on adult swim all the time. I cant agree more with your assessment of frieren. masterclass in character writing and subverting your expectations but delivering a satisfying reward. - TEV
@@TheHideoutReacts Highly recommend mushoku tensei. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of isekai, mushoku tensei changed my mind on the genre completely. I watched the show with a friend a little over a year ago and it was such a good time. Huge Disclaimer though: the MC may not be everyone's cup of tea.
@@TheHideoutReacts I would wholeheartedly recommend Mushoku Tensei aswell. For me, its right up there alongside Frieren in terms of high fantasy anime. Its just an overall great package: peak animation, awe inspiring world building, mature & realistic writing, flawed yet lovable characters and unforgettable moments. It will make you laugh, cry and excited like its your first fantasy anime again. Perhaps I'm over hyping it a bit too much lmao. The novel did popularize a lot of annoying isekai tropes and some themes or the main character himself might be a bit off putting at first. But the buildup and payoff, the character development? Man, it's all worth it I swear. Maybe take some time until you truly crave a good fantasy show again. And a reaction to it would be sick.
Another Code Geass. Thats about 4 I've seen. Undeniable classic. Galactic Heros is a oldie and a goodie. Didn't expect to see anyone mention this bad boy! Great Taste. - TEV
I could never narrow a list of any kind of favorites down to just three, especially if it’s anime. I like a variety of things, for different reasons. I might be able to narrow down three genres that I like best, like comedy, action, and fantasy. Anime that are at least a good blend 2 of the 3 of these are likely high contenders, like Frieren. I don’t mind drama, but the less stress the better, in some cases, like Frieren. I suppose it’s even better when it’s a world and story that actually inspires me to want to write or draw something similar. Obviously, there’s Frieren, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Bleach, and a whole assortment of anime and manga that I can’t currently think of that are on my list I seem to be building.
There's an anime coming out in spring: I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability. Read the manga, it's amazing and i really hope the anime does it justice. Interesting characters, amazing action and good comedy. Worth the time to watch it.
Those are also in my top 5 list but vivy maybe gets pushed out now with frieren moving in, I recommend you vinland saga, just from you liking these 3 like me
My list would be violet evergarden, vinland saga, frieren, fate series, 7ds. Last 2 are more just action but the first 3 makes you think what is precious in life and opens your "third" eye
After reading ahead. I have to say Denken saying his wife's family lost to a 'political dispute' is glaringly hilarious. Edit: Lernen having the first spell we have seen cut through Frieren's defense spells like they were nothing was pretty suprising.
My top 3 besides Frieren would be 1. Ascendance of a Bookworm (top tier storytelling, on par with Frieren), 2. Record of Lodoss War (all time classic, never forget) and as of recently 3. Unwanted Undead Adventurer (the other take on the typical D&D type Anime).
A good friend of mine loves bookworm. I never got around to watching it myself. This may be a sign that I need to check it out in my own time. Record of the Lodoss War. Wow! That's crazy because another really good friend of mine wanted me to rewatch that show with them literally a week ago. What are the odds 😂 definitely a classic. Never heard of that last one but I love d&d inspired shows so I may check it out. I love seeing picks like these. - TEV
Code Geass, Frieren, Steins Gate, Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. These are probably my top 4. Some may say it could be recency bias for Frieren but as someone who's caught up with the manga of Frieren, if we ever get a 2nd season. People will understand that this story still has so much to say. Even if just looking at the 1st season. The story telling and quality of the show already puts it easily in my top ones.
another point on the board for code geass! Thats a pretty solid line up! I don't see a problem with recency bias tbh. I really have to sit and live with Frieren a bit more. It's definitely knocking on my door of top 10. I'll be re-evaluating my list soon. - TEV
My favorite anime/s aren't really set in stone atm, but I'll say number one has to be ReZero for me. I know how a good amount of people that has watched it doesn't like Subaru, but he is one of, if not, my favorite anime character.
I think Frieren is in my top 3. Other than Frieren my top 3 id say are AoT, Dragonball (can't beat nostalgia) and just recently watched Kingdom, which has slid into my rankings. Mushoku Tensei is also in the discussion.
I was just asking TEV yesterday what kindgom was cause I had never heard of it and I saw it was so high up on the MAL rankings haha. Crazy that you commented saying it. I might have to check it out sometime! - Red
@@TheHideoutReacts I don't think I've seen any other anime like it that focuses on war rather than individual or small party combat. It's also an all around great story, though as anyone else will tell you, you need to get through the bad 3D CGI in season 1. You get used to it after a few episodes then it becomes great 2D animation in the seasons after.
Frieren became my new favorite anime, the Bakamonogatari series comes next and after that there are a lot of contender: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika, Kara no Kyoukai movies, Made in Abyss, Prison School, Psycho Pass and Ghost in the Shell movie just to name a few.
You named some BANGERS! Madoka Magika, Kara no Kyoukai, Prison School (manga) and Ghost in the Shell (SAC). I lowkey like Bakemonogatari but i know its not for everyone. Senjougahara is Peak. I respect your taste, shake my hand - TEV
Frieren, Hyouka and Spice and wolf! thats 3 super chill shows for sure. thats some kick your shoes off after a hard day at work/school and just relax with some vibes. Much respect. FMA-B is a classic too goated show for sure! - TEV
@@TheHideoutReacts They do have light novels but you should really check out the anime. After 23 episodes, the finale is absolutely worth it. All the anticipation and the struggles. What a beautiful climax. Top Anime closing scene for me for sure. A happy tearfest. ❤ and the soundtrack is massively popular because of how good it is.
@@Heyya01 I really need to get back in 86 and rewatch it. I kind of fell off somewhere in-between the delays they had near the end of the first season.
@@JohnboyTheGamer wow you should. the last two episodes of the final season contains two of the most beautiful scenes in Anime. Just breathless and just tearing up watching it. Please check it out
@@JohnboyTheGamer you should! The final two episodes of 86 ( episode 22 and 23) contains two of the most beautiful Anime scenes of the decade. The anticipation is all worth it. Its like Frieren where everything is done right, you feel for the characters. You root for them, you cry for them.
Stark wasn’t doing anything with the “master.” He stated he was training on his own and that dude is most likely just a senile old man who thinks he’s training stark but he isn’t.
Something I think people are overlooking is that Serie KNOWS what Ubels ability is, Sense likely told her about it. When she tells her "You pass" and nothing more, its because she knows if Ubel gets too familiar with her, she could potentially be allowing her to gain incredible power through her ability.
Sorry but nah, Y'all are forgetting how large serie's mana is, even if ubel got one of her spells it'd be nothing and she definitely passed because she showed no fear and whatever murderous thoughts she's having. Besides she's already giving them power anyways remember lol, they can have any spell they want.
This is head canon. There’s nothing in the source material that suggests that Sense told Serie anything about any of the applicants. Serie’s passing or failing was based off of her intuition alone. My guess is she looked at Übel and could immediately tell not only that she’s a genius, but that she was not afraid of her, and probably was thinking of a way to kill her. Additionally, Übel only told Land and Wirbel about her ability to empathize and copy abilities. Sense is only aware of Reelseiden.
We only traveled together for a mere 28 episodes. I knew anime seasons were short... but why didn't I get to know it better?
I see you Frieren
28 episodes is pretty long for a typical season, but it always feels short when reaching the end.
I can hear you
Although we missed Stark these pass few episodes I like how they reestablished how he's genuinely a great and lovable guy. The townsfolk knows him well by name, and the kids love him too. Now as for the master, I don't think he has done any training with him. I COULD BE WRONG, but I have a feeling it began and ended at the old guy coming up to him telling him you have reached a high level, I have nothing left to teach you.

We may have to react to Attack on Titan... Dee still hasn't seen it at all!
Code Geass is a classic, I still cry on the "Stay alive" scene.
I need to watch Violet Evergarden. I've heard mixed reviews on it but i will say more often than not, people say its really good. thanks for sharing! - TEV
@@TheHideoutReacts AOT is top tier for reactions lol. Violet Evergarden is not for everyone but its a beautiful anime like Frieren!
I meant to give Violet Evergarden a shot a long time ago cause its from my favorite animation studio Kyoto animation. I feel like its gonna punch me hard in my feels though and I gotta be mentally prepared for that haha - Red
Serie... the most op mage on earth and the biggest tsundere of all time 😅

@@TheHideoutReacts True and based xD 86 is a narrative masterclass to say the least
To imagine without Flamme teaching Frieren the field of flowers magic, the literal gem Himmel may have not been made.
Top 3
1. Hunter x Hunter
2 Frieren
3. Code Geass.
Frieren feels like a mix between Hunter Hunter and violet evergarden. I’ve been watching anime my whole life (I’m 27), and I’ve never really seen a show do what Frieren just did. I caught up with the manga last week and can confidently say it’s peak. If the next arc gets the same level of treatment that season 1 adaptation got, it could tie Hunter x Hunter for me.

Nodame Cantabile is amazing! I never hear anyone talk about it!
So many people mentioned spice and wolf! I remember watching the original a LONG time ago. I would say I'm surprised but i feel like people who would like frieren would totally be about that show!
Top three anime:
Cowboy Bebop
Frieren
Konosuba
There's a few others in the same general area: FMA: Brotherhood, Mushoku Tensei; but those three are pretty solid in their positions right now.

Never heard of that last one but I love d&d inspired shows so I may check it out. I love seeing picks like these. - TEV
@@TheHideoutReacts nice! ... If you guys should decide to check out Bookworm, make sure to have tissues at hand for the later episodes. 😄
This show is now my favorite anime of all time. Not gonna lie this show is really the peak of anime because of this show i found you guys.
Code Geass, Frieren, Steins Gate, Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. These are probably my top 4. Some may say it could be recency bias for Frieren but as someone who's caught up with the manga of Frieren, if we ever get a 2nd season. People will understand that this story still has so much to say. Even if just looking at the 1st season. The story telling and quality of the show already puts it easily in my top ones.
another point on the board for code geass!
Thats a pretty solid line up! I don't see a problem with recency bias tbh. I really have to sit and live with Frieren a bit more. It's definitely knocking on my door of top 10. I'll be re-evaluating my list soon. - TEV
My favorite anime/s aren't really set in stone atm, but I'll say number one has to be ReZero for me. I know how a good amount of people that has watched it doesn't like Subaru, but he is one of, if not, my favorite anime character.
I think Frieren is in my top 3. Other than Frieren my top 3 id say are AoT, Dragonball (can't beat nostalgia) and just recently watched Kingdom, which has slid into my rankings. Mushoku Tensei is also in the discussion.
I was just asking TEV yesterday what kindgom was cause I had never heard of it and I saw it was so high up on the MAL rankings haha. Crazy that you commented saying it. I might have to check it out sometime! - Red
@@TheHideoutReacts I don't think I've seen any other anime like it that focuses on war rather than individual or small party combat. It's also an all around great story, though as anyone else will tell you, you need to get through the bad 3D CGI in season 1. You get used to it after a few episodes then it becomes great 2D animation in the seasons after.
Frieren became my new favorite anime, the Bakamonogatari series comes next and after that there are a lot of contender: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika, Kara no Kyoukai movies, Made in Abyss, Prison School, Psycho Pass and Ghost in the Shell movie just to name a few.
You named some BANGERS!
Madoka Magika, Kara no Kyoukai, Prison School (manga) and Ghost in the Shell (SAC). I lowkey like Bakemonogatari but i know its not for everyone. Senjougahara is Peak.
I respect your taste, shake my hand - TEV
Mm, top 3 anime now off the top of my head would be Frieren, Hyouka, and... maybe FMA-B or Spice and Wolf.
Frieren, Hyouka and Spice and wolf!
thats 3 super chill shows for sure. thats some kick your shoes off after a hard day at work/school and just relax with some vibes. Much respect.
FMA-B is a classic too goated show for sure! - TEV
Frieren is my favorite anime of all time. 86 is a close second. ❤
Thanks for the SUB! i haven't seen 86, or even heard too much about it. does it have a manga worth reading? - TEV
@@TheHideoutReacts They do have light novels but you should really check out the anime. After 23 episodes, the finale is absolutely worth it. All the anticipation and the struggles. What a beautiful climax. Top Anime closing scene for me for sure. A happy tearfest. ❤ and the soundtrack is massively popular because of how good it is.
@@Heyya01 I really need to get back in 86 and rewatch it. I kind of fell off somewhere in-between the delays they had near the end of the first season.
@@JohnboyTheGamer wow you should. the last two episodes of the final season contains two of the most beautiful scenes in Anime. Just breathless and just tearing up watching it. Please check it out
@@JohnboyTheGamer you should! The final two episodes of 86 ( episode 22 and 23) contains two of the most beautiful Anime scenes of the decade. The anticipation is all worth it. Its like Frieren where everything is done right, you feel for the characters. You root for them, you cry for them.
Stark wasn’t doing anything with the “master.” He stated he was training on his own and that dude is most likely just a senile old man who thinks he’s training stark but he isn’t.
Frieren smurf and get ban thousand years😂
Something I think people are overlooking is that Serie KNOWS what Ubels ability is, Sense likely told her about it. When she tells her "You pass" and nothing more, its because she knows if Ubel gets too familiar with her, she could potentially be allowing her to gain incredible power through her ability.
That's awesome actually, I hadn't considered that was why she passed her so quickly. Cool insights!
Sorry but nah, Y'all are forgetting how large serie's mana is, even if ubel got one of her spells it'd be nothing and she definitely passed because she showed no fear and whatever murderous thoughts she's having.
Besides she's already giving them power anyways remember lol, they can have any spell they want.
This is head canon. There’s nothing in the source material that suggests that Sense told Serie anything about any of the applicants. Serie’s passing or failing was based off of her intuition alone. My guess is she looked at Übel and could immediately tell not only that she’s a genius, but that she was not afraid of her, and probably was thinking of a way to kill her.
Additionally, Übel only told Land and Wirbel about her ability to empathize and copy abilities. Sense is only aware of Reelseiden.
