    I will never recover from the fact that Frieren learned a spell to make grapes sour because she remembered 70 years ago Eisen liked sour grapes, and a spell to clean rust off statues because all of the statues of Himmel, Heiter and Eisen are now rusty.

      That's the good worldbuilding of Frieren at play. Folk magic is just that. Practical small spells that were made to help people go about their daily life and improve it. It's refreshing that spells people likely dedicated their lives to would never directly change the world except make it a slightly better place. It's like what Gandalf says in the Hobbit. It's the small things that keep the darkness at bay.
      Not every spell needs to be one of offense. A spell to clean clothes or remove oil stains would be far more beloved by most people and improve lives far more.

    Qual was no joke, after waking up 80 years later, all it took was seeing Fern's defensive spell to be able understand the concept, replicate it, and immediately identify it's weakness. He didn't get owned because he was trash. He got owned because he didn't keep up with the meta game strats for the past 80 years. If he hadn't been sealed, who knows WHAT sort of insane magic techniques he would have invented.

      Qual probably need a day or two to catch up with that 80 years that he fall behind, considering he only need to see the defensive magic ONCE to able to figure out what it do, how to do it, and it's weakness.
      Plus, considering what been revealed in future episode, Qual probably can turn the tide of battle if Frieren missed, and Qual knows what Frieren did to his spell, which he could developed a direct counter right there.

    I just want to highlight how formidable Qual was even though he's the 1st baddie, quickly eliminated, and used as a lesson for Fern. He was stuck for 80yrs while his spell was analyzed, countered and improved upon. But upon seeing Fern's 1st defensive shield, Qual was able to replicate it immediately and able to figure out its weakness. If Frieren wasn't strong enough to end him in 1 hit, if Frieren fired her improved Zoltraak but Qual survived, Qual would've figured out the new Zoltraak as well, and might figure out a weakness as well. Actually, as Qual was dying, he noticed something different about Frieren's Zoltraak.

      yeah if Frieren and Fern wasn't there and he was given even a short time to see the change in magic in 80 year he would have become impossible to win just like he was 80 year before

      I love this comment, which highlighted how much of a genius Qual was, the instant replication of the defensive spell, the instant recognition of its weakness, and the next course of action he would take, which Frieren predicted based on how beforehand thats what was practiced with Fern and how you pointed out that it is implied how much Frieren acknowledges how much of a threat Qual at that time, so killing him instantly was the right move bc of his talents as a Genius mage... I mean, what we know now, and how Frieren described how hard and difficult she and the party heroes fought against him, is a testament of how much of a bad*ss Qual was/is

JJK rarely gives us any moment to get us attached to the characters and they exploits the “killing of characters” way too much as well which led to such an emotionless battle manga.

    33:00 The other spells also show how she cares about Heiter and Himmel too, and it's little details like this coming back around to punch your feelers why I love it so much.
    She knows Himmel liked to show off and wants to preserve his memory, so she learns a spell to clean statues of him and to let his legend endure. She also disapproved of Heiter's drinking, so she leared a spell to make tea to possibly give him a substitute, but he had already quit drinking when she met him again.

    Episode 1) saves the whole freaking world, doesn’t elaborate for 50 years, dies smiling like a gigachad by changing Frieren’s whole outlook on the world and starting the story.
    Episode 2) shows a pure-hearted appreciation for art, both in his statue and his flower crowns. A true flower king 👑
    Episode 3) cold-reading what his girl wants for dinner like a boyfriend of legend. As for skirt-flipper kid, if Wildbow’s Worm has taught me anything, it’s that threatening children is incredibly based
    Episode 4) dropping bars to frieren about how she is the kind of person to enjoy a sunrise with friends. Nailed it.

      I find it crazy that this pretty much side character with barely any screen time is so beloved by so many (crazy in the positive meaning of the word). It's practically a small religion in Japan by now. Himmel has made his mark all over the world too. There was a story from Taiwan not too long ago, where an otaku risked his life to stop a serious knife attack on the metro (it happened on the anniversary of another deadly knife attack that claimed the lives of many people), and when the journalists asked him what made him stand up and tackle the assailant despite the clear risk to his own life, he just replied: "It's what Himmel the Hero would have done." Despite only ever existing in fantasy as memories of another fantasy character, Himmel managed to touch so many lives across the world and made us better people. Himmel is the GOAT of all GOATs.

  • @Nevri.
    @Nevri. 11 месяцев назад +6

    The beauty of this show is that a lot of things can be interpreted different ways or in fact something can have many different meanings and all of them are true. Like the sunrise scene is about Frieren realizing that it's not about sunrise itself, but seeing your friends enjoying it, but also about just doing something with your friends, no matter what it is, but also about experiencing something beautiful with people close to you and sharing that memory, but also about doing things you'd not be able to normally do by yourself, but also about being pushed by your friends to do something you didn't have intention to doing, but you ultimately end up enjoying. Neither reading really contradicts one another and all of them have value.
    Another thing about their encounter with Qual is that it also showcased how Qual (and demons in general) are arrogant. Despite figuring out how to make a defensive spell on a fly and being flat out told that Zoltraak is now basic spell for humans, when Qual saw Frieren flying and preparing spell (which was also something mages couldn't do 80 years ago and he didn't anticipate), his first instinct was to attack her with Zoltraak instead of protecting himself from his own spell that he didn't even consider she could cast back at him. The reality of situation didn't really sink in for him and he still was considering himself the OP mage he was 80 years ago, showcasing how living long live can be a weakness as well, because with all time in the world, you become stagnant and evolve and adapt much slower that other races with shorter lifespans. It's something that Frieren used to experience as well, but now is learning to overcome, no longer seeing just the length of time spend as the only important part, but that the quality of how you spend that time is also important. 1 day you spend doing something important, is more valuable than 50 or even 100 years, spend just passing time leisurely.
    Lastly, a bit of heads up so you won't miss a very cool moment later on, how like majority of anime-only watchers did, thanks to the way show is localized. The actual title is "Sousou no Frieren" (葬送のフリーレン), with "sousou" (葬送) meaning "attending a funeral procession; seeing off the deceased; burial of someone's remains; observing a burial". Basically, being present during process of sending off someone dead. That's why combined with general premise of the show and first chapters, it makes logical sense in the context to translate it as something like "Frieren at the funeral", as it's clear the theme of the story is about Frieren outliving people she knows and attending a lot of their funerals. Translating the original title, especially for it to sound good, can be quite difficulty, that's why localizing it at "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" sounds like a good idea and it definitely sounds good and gives you good idea of what the show will be about. The thing is, author later does a bit of twist on the title, by making a certain group of characters using it as a nickname for Frieren, which gives it a whole new meaning that is definitely not how the word is used normally, making it a double meaning phrase. So because of that for people watching official release, the double meaning is lost, which is a shame and honestly the translator's job to be able to preserve it. People in fansubs tried to translate it certain way to preserve the original meaning, but I'm personally not convinced it's the best option as it feels a bit too direct and on the nose. The translation closer to original title, which imo the best preservers the both intended meanings, would be something like "Frieren of the funreal". I won't say more than that. Once you get to that moment, you'll understand what I meant.

Thank you both for sharing your reactions and looking forward to the next one! 🙏🏻

    The thing that made me smile the most about your reaction is your attention to details. Most people miss the sour grape spell reference. I immediately smiled when you called it out.
    Almost every spell Frieren collects is a spell to make her friends happy, or a spell to honor her friends who have long since gone.

    Someone said something interesting that I think it's true. When she was alone traveling her time was going fast and that's why it was shown in like 3 minutes but the times she spent with Himmel or Hiter later on were slower bc it's dear to her and every moment is important and by the way fun fact all names and places are words in German

    1:08:25 Having re-read the manga and watched the anime as it airs, I think this is a good line of thought to hold on to for the series. I've just had several things hit me over and over at different times on different revisits, and how you can infer and tie things together with both new and old information in this series can hit so hard and be so satisfying.
    Edit: When you said 90's anime color palette my mind went to blue and pink cityscapes at night, and when you said DBZ I thought of the Broly movie/OVA when everything turns purple/green/blue.

    For the 4 episode special that they released all at once in Japan they also had a special ED done as well which you guys should definitely watch because it encapsulates Frirens relationship with Fern so beautifully. It doesn't appear anywhere else in the anime besides the 4 episode special, only the song does once in a later episode.

    17:10 Seeing coloured subtitles take me back to when anime wasn’t so popular and studios weren’t really a thing so fans would do the translation. Because of that we got a lot of Power Points styled Text. So a lot of fade in & out, texts sliding from all angles. Sometimes it would be wavy and the texts size would change depending on how loud the character was speaking. Some characters had their own colours. Now whither the subtitles were correct or not I couldn’t tell you. But I still understood the plot.
