My reaction to Season 1 Episode 1 of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. #Frieren #FrierenReaction #AnimeReaction
!["Surprisingly pleasant!" - A Weeb & Normie Watch Sousou no Frieren (Highlights only) [S1E1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/buHvkTDPqh4/mqdefault.jpg)
Wow, what an amazing start we are already off to! I know I'm a few months late but I'm already SO glad I decided to watch this adventure nonetheless! We're already on episode 13 on www.Patreon.com/Robinoyo! If you enjoyed my reaction to this first episode, you can check out the next 12 episodes over there right now! Thanks for watching :)
This guy is excited that the characters have German names, but doesn't care that the original Japanese title "SOUSOU NO Frieren" is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End!
This anime is about funerals, but it's not the end of the journey.
I really hate Germany!
Calling him "the Himmel" is right because he's HIM.
He’s HIMmel 🔥
i think the reason why Anime has a lot of German names and terms, it's very simple, German language sounds cool while also has that "archaic" vibes. It also has a lot of connections to spells and witches folklores. It's not even japanese anime that does this. Chinese games like Genshin also starts the story in a fictional germany "Mondstadt", it has a lot of important world lores like Witches group, leylines, and spells.
in WWII Japan was fairly close with Germany. They had exchange student programs and tourism. Arguably, Japan is more interested in Germany than the western world.
It’s also because German folklore is pretty rich. A lot of people take for granted things in modern fantasy which about 75% of the tropes tend to come from folktales, about the other 25% is Celtic which is a neighboring group which eventually got absorbed into the Germanic cultures which took over most of north and Western Europe.
They were allies of n ww2 Japanese film and anime is filled with references to the German army specifically from that time, in some anime there are literally characters wearing Ss uniforms or are a version of it. There's a group in the Manga that comes along later, that dress and look like the gestapo 😂
Idk why people pretend this wasn't a thing, its clear the 2 countries have since then built many connections but this is definitely why it all began
@@Scyon13reminds me of pandoras actor from overlord 😭😭
@@silbury2325”fairly close”?? Lol bro they were both fascist states and were allies 😂😂😂. Also Germany is part of the western world as you put it and no country is closer from a cultural perspective to Japan than America. The two countries literally bounce culture off of each other constantly . And that cultural closeness comes from america occupying and helping Japan rebuild after the war
Himmel watching the close up of the meteor always gets me. It's so beautiful and yet fleeting. Just like Himmel with his human life span.
The demon horn was super cursed, that shit hit Himmel’s life span worse then smoking would have.
Pple tend to underestimate wht the dragon horn did to decline himmel health😂😂
Idk how much of an effect it had Tbh, he was still an active adventurer after the he party disbanded for at least 30 years also Heiters healing is top tier, it wouldnt be a stretch to think he was the most powerful priest in the world.
If you haven't read the Manga he was just as op as the rest of the group
@@Scyon13 But tbh his OPness comes more from striving to be a better person and making the world a better place than his magical power. And this is pretty much why this show is such a inspired work of art. (Not saying that Heiter wasn't a powerful magic user, just that this isnt what makes him special)
@randomdude471 of course, all of that, but no lol, spoilers
He could keep the group alive for 2 months without air,food, or water, Mana isn't the only measure of power. he literally had the most potent healing abilities.
@@Scyon13yup and Himmel could knock down entire sections of forest with a single sword swing as seen in the manga as well. Pretty much everyone in the hero’s party was op to one degree or another
@@Scyon13 haha yeha sorry i was memeing, pple get drastic shock for himmel height, me being anime fan for a while said to myself "Yup, anime logic amirite?"
It wasn't really brough up in the anime, but Priests are like the healers and buffers of this universe, and are in possession of a special kind of magic bestowed by the Godess, so they age slower and live longer than the average person.
"i dont know why that is"
Japan during 1939 to 1945: 👀...
Dark jokes a side, in fact germain and japan have a connection, and if i not mistake Germany is known for many tales and fables, so for fantasy scenarios is an easy to go for Japanese
It helps that German is one of the easier European language to learn for the native Japanese speakers. IIRC, it's structurally very similar and you can translate almost everything one-to-one.
When Eisen turned down the request to travel with her you mentioned that he still had his moves after seeing him fight that monster on their way to see the meteor Shower. During that fight he was attacking with a tree branch instead of an axe. It's likely true that can no longer weild one.
During the Demon King quest he was insanely powerful. Now he's just really really really powerful.
i think the connection goes back to the bond of brotherhood Japan and Germany had back in 1944
ohno, it will be a slow burner without 1-4 in the same time...
for real
btw: Frieren has the same voice actress as Anya from SpyXFamily
would have never guessed that tbh
If Japanese is Latin for weebs, then German is Hebrew for weebs
It's just how it goes
i've watched so many people react to this anime that i never realized u hadn't posted it to the channel yet
German is often integrated into Anime not just because it sounds cooler or looks cooler if written in Kanji form it is also popular because of the cultural impact it had in the modernisation from Japan in the early 1900s i think which also might have played a part in it. You also have all the old folklores and such which also is also helpfull i would guess for inspiration and for westerners who are more fimiliar with these.
every time i see reaction videos on frieren, i always get emotional especially first few episodes
This show is as good as AOT
I would say it’s better but that’s just me
As for why Himmel aged so much if they started their adventure at 16 it would have ended when he was 26. Then add another 50 years and both Himmel and Heiter are in their upper 70s at most. It’s not that Himmel aged fast it’s that Heiter is aging very well. He lived well into his 90s and was pushing 100 at the end.
Not to mention, he is a Bishop. It is always a fantasy trope that high ranking religious characters get to live long.
I blame constantly being near that evil dragon horn.
Priests also specialize in healing magic in this world (And many others), So that may be a factor in his extended life.
on Fate thats because her family line comes from a German magical family,. for a out of story reasoning its just that for a Japanese speaker English is a bit too familiar and mundane sounding, but German words sounds exotic and cool sounding. Now a friend who was into writing was saying that in the early 90s so, by now its not exactly as exotic anymore but, at this point fantasy having German is a tradition.
i had the same experience, i watched frieren a few months late
there was this supossed "frieren friday", honestly i wish i experienced that
Ich kann dir versprechen, den Anime wirst du lieben :D
Ich denke dass du recht hast 😉
I started watching this last week, I slept on it because people said it was "waaay better" than Mushoku, and I love MT. But this was FANTASTIC. I am dying for the next season!
"it is him?" at himmel body
yes! it is HIM
Someone put that link to that video about why anime has so much connection to germanic things
Ngl I've watched a few of this guy's videos and I genuinely believe he doesn't pay attention to anything. Because how did he only realize Frieren was immortal until when she was leaving 💀 Like how?
This is a beautiful show, full of great details. I think it's interesting that it literally spends zero time explaining tropes to you because it assumes that you're familiar with common fantasy story/game concepts, so instead it spends its time expanding them or subverting them. For instance, thanks to Tolkien's huge influence, elves and dwarves are usually portrayed as having an uneasy relationship due to their very different outlooks on life, but here you see that Frieren and Eisen are genuinely fond of each other and Frieren is even comfortable enough with him to ask him to be his traveling companion and bodyguard and see his side of things when he declines.
Fun fact: the GOAT that is HIMmel is voiced by the same VA as bakugo from MHA
not "fern" as in the plant, "fern" as "far away" in german.
All character names are german
Japan and Germany huh ? I guess it's the WW2 influence XD JK
Heiter probably aged better than Himmel because he's a priest. Praising the goddess probably gives him a slightly extended life span. Or maybe the evil aura horn Himmel was keeping in his drawer made him age faster?
The priest can cast healing whenever he deems it necessary to himself possible reason why he lived longer
Yeah and to top it a lot of other european names are seen in animes too :D For example I have noticed that some nature loving characters have been named like finns.
What sometimes gets forgotten is that European languages (aside from English, which a lot of Japanese speak fluently) are as exotic to the Japanese as east Asian languages are to us. This is why you'll see a lot of German and even Spanish names, particularly in fantasy or isekai titles set in Europe-ish fantasy worlds. This is taken to the next level in Frieren, where the translation of the character's name says something about their personality: Himmel is "heaven", Eisen is "Iron", Heiter is "bright" or "cheerful", and Fern is "remote". This continues throughout the series with characters named for "think", "flame", and even "bad".
I wouldn’t say “a lot” of Japanese people speak English . Their English fluency rate isn’t really the highest even among other Asian countries and English is still seen as “exotic” by the vast majority of the population. That’s why they have random “engrish” terms on things like shirts , hats, business signs etc etc. in fact if you speak English at a native level in Japan there will be tons of people that just want to hear you speak English in its proper form because it “sounds cool” .
@@mookiestewart3776 By American standards, 30% English fluency is a LOT.
japanese finds the german language enchanting in the way it's spelled/spoken if I had to guess.
They might also just love germans/german culture.
Heiter is a priest who has healing magic and blessing of the goddess. He's an anomaly that's why he ages slowly compare to normal human.
I read a thing once where it says that Japanese books of chemistry way back then also got influenced from German science, kinda cool tho...
Close to the german border, huh? Lower Saxony here, live around 2,5 hours away. When is make vacation on the Ijsselmeer later this year I wave you from the autobahn.
I think beside what others have said , it’s really just to Asian, there are only few countries you are more aware of
( just like to the west , ppl think of China Japan and Korea when talking about Asian )
On top of that , I think what happened during the world war era , while sad , do create a lot of impacts and thought provoking ideas
And of course Japan and Germany relationship during the period ,
And their personalities such as attention to detail ,
Doing cruel experiments for knowledge (it sucks but it’s true )
Engineer….etc
i have waiting for your frieren reaction!!!!!!
...you... really you dont know why there's the japan-german link....?
The TLDR is... german sounds cool dude...
Spoiler alert:.... you're gonna love this
WW2 probably
Japan really has an infatuation with german culture, maybe cause of the war?
2:22 Thank GOD this is not TRASH Isekai! Worst genre cosplaying as BEST genre FANTASY MASTER RACE! TOLKIEN LIVES!
