That close up on the meteor with Himmel looking on always gets me. 😢 I've seen it a couple times now, and I can't help but think how the meteor is like Himmel with his human life span. It burns out so quickly but while it lasts, it's so brilliant and beautiful. And the music, omg. So sad 😭
"I'm probably doing it for myself" is probably my favorite line in episode 2. It reminds me of a recurring phrase from one of my favorite webcomics: "I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for me, because of you." Yeah, it's partly for Himmel, but more than anything else it's her way of trying to understand her own feelings.
I have said this in a few people's reactions, but heiter was a long lived human even for our time, he lived to be 104. He was able to walk in his hundreds, which is astounding. Himmel lived to be around 70, and Eisens age is undetermined.
I guess Himmel was at least around 80. Assuming he didn´t start the heros journey as a little kid, he must have been maybe 30 after the ten years travelling. Add 50 years more until he dies, it makes 80 then. But I´m just guessing, nothing more :-)
There is speculation that as a Priest, who deals with holy magic and are the only ones that are well versed in blessings, dispelling curses and healing, they are also granted longer lives.
Thematically, Himmel aged like he did partly so he would look more drastically different, to keep his younger self pristine in memory. For an in-setting reason, yeah, Heiter was probably the most gifted user of healing magic alive for much of his life.
I mean, to be clear there have been a handful of individuals I can think of that made it to their hundreds and were still mobile. Hell, world war 2 vet iirc was still mowing his lawn at like 102.
And then every time anyone remembers him, he becomes even more likeable EVERY FREAKING TIME! Himmel is eternal, undefeated, and complete. He is THE TRUE GOAT!
@@B3RyL That's what's absolutely baffling. The fact that every flashback manages to make him somehow even more likeable and endearing than the last is nothing short of incredible. This is such solid character writing, I don't know how to even express the pure awe it inspires in me
My friend who speaks a bit of Japanese told me something interesting. Just like English, Japanese has various expressions for saying goodbye, and one of them, taken literally, means "I'll be leaving first". This is the expression Heiter uses to say goodbye to Frieren as he climbs into the carriage after Himmel's funeral.
@@AliAnimus Anyway, this is a 2-cour anime, so maybe buy two boxes of tissues instead of one. Also, keep all those questions you mentioned at the end in mind (as well as any other questions that come up later), because this show is very good about raising questions and then answering or addressing them later.
These first few episodes are important (for a preface) for the upcoming .. well, many eps lol as they are either within lots of meanings or actions or even gestures. The little callbacks and things you notice as things progress really make me smile when watching this show. It's a treat to watch. I enjoy re-watching episodes really just to enjoy how beautiful everything looks as well rather than locking in on everything else. I saw some people point out how amazing the shadow work is in this show. It's so pretty lol. Anyways, enough of me gushing. Glad you liked and you got me even a bit teary eyed in ep. 2 with the Himmel giving her a flower tiara, only for his statue to get one from her.

Frieren keeps telling Fern they are the same, because they like magic not entirely due of itself, but also an external reason: Fern wanted to be able to take care of herself after Heiter passed away, and Frieren collects spells because Himmel complimented hers.
This anime has heart-wrenching drama, very funny comedy, exhilirating adventure, heart-pumping action, and its fight scenes are totally SOLID. Truly perfect!
What makes it is the characters. It's amazing how the storytelling weaves in flashbacks to the timeline. Truly a one of a kind fantasy adventure anime.

First bottle Frieren poured out on Heiter's headstone was the bottle she brought, the second was the bottle Heiter was holding when he stopped Fern from jumping. The exact moment he quit drinking.
Heiter really lived a long life. He's at least 90-something, and that's just assuming his age is similar to Himmel's. I feel that he might be a bit older.
Ayyy nice IY sweatshirt! It's actually my headcanon is that this show is a fantasy IY au, specifically SessKag. Frieren = Sesshoumaru, Himmel = Kagome, Heiter = Miroku, Fern = Rin, Stark = Kohaku. As a SessKag + KohaRin fan it gets me in the feels so much 😭♥
The names of the people and places are all German. Knowing them is a lot of added value because of symbolism. Frieren - (to feel) Cold/Freezing Himmel - Sky/Heaven Fern - Distant Heiter - Bright/cheerful Eisen - Iron Flamme - Flame / Passion Himmel imagery is very present. Frieren is commonly framed against Himmel, the sky. In this episode an important example of this imagery is that directly after finding the flowers, Frieren is framed against the beautiful sky... Himmel was with her when when she saw them.
There is a German RUclipsr, Storieswithstyle, who has a lovely video giving an analysis of the names(character, location, and spell) as they appear in the anime up to episode 16. It is very much worth watching, although wait until at least past episode 10 to watch it, possibly 16, as there are spoilers. (The names in Frieren are almost all German words)
You witness one of the best animes if its about fantasy and as topic "time". And im serious. One of the best. Everything, from Music till storytelling is PEAK. You beginning to love the charactere even you see 5 minutes of them. We, actually waited a long time to get finally this kind of Anime. Lifechanging. We need this Anime. i actually cant stop to watch other, watching frieren :D because we need to share the feelings what frieren trigger. Small funfact: few of the best animators in the whole anime industry are working on this animes
I'm so glad to see that I wasn't the only one sobbing throughout this anime!! ;v;) absolutely love that you're paying attention to the important parts of the anime and you summarizing it pretty much hits the nail on the head before the next scene even happens. Subscribing ✨
Time is a major player in this show, Humans typically live to about 80, Dwarves typically live to 300 but there are exceptions but Elves are near immortal. Frieren is (I estimate by her mana shown later) to be about 1500 years old at the start of the anime and she is considered to be fairly young as others are several times her age. The perception of the passage time by the characters is often at odds with each other especially when the entire lifespan of someone else would be equivelent to anywhere from days to a few months at most if put in the perspective of a human.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Sousou no Frieren. I hope you really enjoy this anime series! Just a few things if no one else has mentioned it; this aniome is really about paying attention to little details, as small things make emotional impacts later in series. You DO learn why Frieren has a habit of collecting spells, and it all starts with her master, who is revealed in Episode 4 and you learn way more about her in the penultimate mid-season episode 10. Every name in Frieren is a German word and they have meaning. There is a school of thought that this whole story is Frieren's reminiscence, since people are named for concepts that encapsulates a memory/impression, rather than normal German names. Frieren - Freezing Himmel - Sky or Heaven - pay attention to the times they show the Sky, as it almost always refers to Himmel or the memory of him Heiter - Jolly - Heiter is shown in future flashbacks as deflecting difficult emotional stress with humour or self-deprecation. Eisen - Iron - a great name for one of the strongest warriors in history Fern - Remote or distant Stark - Strong Flamme - Flame - The founder of Human Magic, Frieren's human Master. Potentially named for the Promethean legend, the giant who taught the gift of fire to humans in Greek mythology, but also for setting Frieren on the path to thawing her heart. Qual - Torment Aura - Aura Lügner - Liar Linie - Line, as in production, watch the way she summons things Draht - Wire Graf Garnat - Count Garnet - the stone that is part of the family amulet is a red garnet. Kraft - Power, Strength Sein - Being or Existence Kanne - Container or pot Lawine - Avalanche Wirbel - Whirl or Vortex Übel - Evil or Villain Denken - Thinking Land - Country Richter - a reference to the founder of hte Richter Scale, the measure of earthquake intensity Laufen - Runner Ehre - Honor or Glory Scharf - Sharp Sense - Scythe Genau - Exactly or Precisely Falsch - Wrong or Mistaken Lernen - Learn Edel - Noble Blei - Lead the metal Dünste - Steamy or hazy Ton - Sound or Tone Länge - Length of time or duration Methode - Method Serie - Series, as in items in a group (a book series, for example) Frieren recently toppled FullMetal Alchemist from the top spot on MyAnimeList (MAL), where it had sat for more than a decade. Both are Shonen manga that have women mangakas, and both start with loss. Both are praised for it's excellent characterization, emotional intensity and touching sentimentalism. Lastly, the series is named "Sousou no Frieren." While this has been translated as "Frieren The Slayer" this is INCORRECT. "Sousou no" is the act "sending off" as in a funeral. Thus the more exact translation is "Frieren the Undertaker." This has more than one meaning, but the two most common interpretations is that we learn that Elves in Frieren are essentially immortal, so Frieren will eventually "send off" all her non-elven friends. The second meaning is to "see someone off" is also a euphemism for killing and is Frieren is first identified by a demon as the titular character.

Hello there. Just watched your reaction to the next episode, yeah that detail where she learnt a spell uniquely because Eisen likes them was... beautiful.
After watching the first episode i knew i was going to love it, (i ended up buying the manga too :D). for me the music sets the scene beautifully, people often over look the OST. i think you are going to absolutely love the rest of the show.

next time you all having fun being all happy and laughing while goin on a vacation thinking “it’s just a week or two”, remember those beloved pets of yours at home it’s probably already 10-20 years for them since you all been gone😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The elves in this seem to be like Tolkien's and are properly ageless, the can die but they never age. There isn't even the call to the undying lands like in Middle Earth.
The answer is yes, you will cry almost every time lol. Seriously though, I love the melancholy beauty of this story and how well they tell it. Definitely my anime of the year last year
Hi new sub here, have you already done a room/setup tour? You've got a dope arcade mini cabinet and RGB lighting and other stuff behind you. Would be cool to see
This anime is second only to the Pixar's "Up" when it comes to fastest tears by the viewer. And to your question about anime food: According to legend, it's because of the most horrific example of poorly drawn food in history. The infamous "Cabbage Sphere" in the anime "Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na" otherwise known as "Cresent Love". Supposedly the cabbage sphere incident was so embarrassing it changed food animation in Japan forever. There is a wikipedia article about it you can look up if you think Im lying.
Minor suggestion... Episodes 8-10 are best watched in a single session. This isn't universally agreed upon, but I am strongly of this opinion. I would recommend that whenever you reach these episodes that you budget the time so that, should you decide to do such, you can watch all three together.
Fake Hero, Corrupt Priest, Cowardly Warrior, and Lazy Mage. They should have lost, but didn't. Everyone defied the definition in someway. Himmel fail to pull the sword, but inspired everyone he met or who heard of him to do better. Heiter was a constant drunk, but his true faith inspired it in everyone he met. Eisen was afraid of any strong enemy he fought, but never fled and was never defeated. Frieren well, we know Frieren's failings. The more the story goes along though the more we come to understand they all lived up to the rep. Himmel is the Hero. Eisen is the warrior. And Heiter and Frieren's influence extends far beyond what they could have expected.
Apperently food in anime looks so good because of the Delicious in Dungeon manga, as that was so successful that everything copied it a bit. It's also an anime that just came out.

Hello there. Just watched your reaction to the next episode, yeah that detail where she learnt a spell uniquely because Eisen likes them was... beautiful.
Hello! And yes… She’s so precious. 🥹
New series!! Let’s go!!❤
After watching the first episode i knew i was going to love it, (i ended up buying the manga too :D).
for me the music sets the scene beautifully, people often over look the OST.
i think you are going to absolutely love the rest of the show.
Dwarves also live a bit longer than Humans. Not as long as Elves, but Eisen will be around for a bit.
try not to cry challenge failed yet again =( beautiful reaction can't wait for more - subbed for sure
I tried so hard 😭 aha, thank you!
@@AliAnimusEveryone locates the series faster with their original names, I don't know why they have the bad habit of translating everything, seriously what is the need to do that
No spoilers, it's a long time. Your going to truly enjoy this anime
Time is told in the story as years after Himmel died since that's the perspective that Frieren would have.
next time you all having fun being all happy and laughing while goin on a vacation thinking “it’s just a week or two”, remember those beloved pets of yours at home it’s probably already 10-20 years for them since you all been gone😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The elves in this seem to be like Tolkien's and are properly ageless, the can die but they never age. There isn't even the call to the undying lands like in Middle Earth.
I'm guessing Amazon Lord of the Rings would not want to see how to make elves relatable and in their own way caring
10 years is a long time'' for a human, simple.
The answer is yes, you will cry almost every time lol. Seriously though, I love the melancholy beauty of this story and how well they tell it. Definitely my anime of the year last year
Hi new sub here, have you already done a room/setup tour? You've got a dope arcade mini cabinet and RGB lighting and other stuff behind you. Would be cool to see
Hi there, I have not! I’ve shown my stream room on Twitch, but never an actual video. I can make one though. ☺️
素敵なリアクションでした。ありがとう。
If you pay close attention and they make a second season, you will eventually learn why Frieren wanted to learn each of those spells.
33:31, CREATURE SPOTTED
Hahaha yes that’s Otis, he likes to join my videos quite often. 😅
@@AliAnimus👎🤢
You would think even a troll would appreciate a comment about the cat showing up on screen, what with that Power user icon and all.
This anime is second only to the Pixar's "Up" when it comes to fastest tears by the viewer.
And to your question about anime food:
According to legend, it's because of the most horrific example of poorly drawn food in history. The infamous "Cabbage Sphere" in the anime "Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na" otherwise known as "Cresent Love". Supposedly the cabbage sphere incident was so embarrassing it changed food animation in Japan forever.
There is a wikipedia article about it you can look up if you think Im lying.
Maybe but I like the slow burn in this anime
Her: i don't know anything about this series
Also her: *put's on an elf ears*
Haha, only thing I knew going into it , perfect opportunity to wear them! 🥰

Beware, more tears ahead. 😢
Welcome to Frieren.
Prepare your tissues for next episodes, i cry during almost every episode 😅
Oh dang I've seen this show is getting popular recently.🎉
subbed for Frieren!
ヒンメルの、綺麗だ、の台詞は星を見てるフリーレンを見て言ったのでは、と思ってる
you are beautiful and love your reaction, looking forward to another episodes, thank you
Thank you so much 🙏💖
@@AliAnimus I admire you that you did not binge watch it :D
@@Gusttafa I’m currently on episode 10! Those will be uploaded soon. ✨
@@AliAnimus👎👎👎👎👎
At least the show is nice enough to ask if you're alright after every episode.
Only for the first half 😢
Minor suggestion... Episodes 8-10 are best watched in a single session. This isn't universally agreed upon, but I am strongly of this opinion. I would recommend that whenever you reach these episodes that you budget the time so that, should you decide to do such, you can watch all three together.
Thank you for this, luckily for me I already did that! I'm currently on ep 10 and I happened to watch them all together.

@@Misaki_Mei504ah, the troll is here too.
Where can I find it?
The anime? Crunchyroll!
@@AliAnimus okay thank you so much
Fake Hero, Corrupt Priest, Cowardly Warrior, and Lazy Mage.
They should have lost, but didn't. Everyone defied the definition in someway. Himmel fail to pull the sword, but inspired everyone he met or who heard of him to do better. Heiter was a constant drunk, but his true faith inspired it in everyone he met. Eisen was afraid of any strong enemy he fought, but never fled and was never defeated. Frieren well, we know Frieren's failings.
The more the story goes along though the more we come to understand they all lived up to the rep. Himmel is the Hero. Eisen is the warrior. And Heiter and Frieren's influence extends far beyond what they could have expected.
how did they make us cry over someone we met ~9 minutes ago
You should probably get several tissue boxes
エルフの耳可愛い😊💕
マルシルではなくフリーレンですよね
Alright, who's doing the obligatory translating the names from German? Also, elves can live for nearly an eternity.
Apperently food in anime looks so good because of the Delicious in Dungeon manga, as that was so successful that everything copied it a bit. It's also an anime that just came out.
Oooh and great reaction good job
Her heart on 14 ep can do it?😂😂
I'm a disaster 😭
Himmel is dead,it’s too late
ure an elf??
You look like you eat dungeon food hehe
I dont know if it’s intentional but halfway there to a great cosplay 😂
I need to find someone like you to watch anime with lol
You single? We about the same age lol
ю чикен!
おい、おい！耳が？趣味が遭わんわ
You are a fun of Kleenex then I m happy.
