After this I hope we go to Delicious and Dungeon / and, or, Violet Evergarden. Perfect follow ups to the fantasy and feels of Frieren

2025-06-21 09:43:05 +0000 UTCI do prefer the sub, but I stand by the dub being one of the best dubs in anime.

2025-06-21 05:12:14 +0000 UTCIt's too bad you guys decided to watch this masterpiece in dub rather than sub but it's better than nothing. Here's to your legendary Frieren journey! I'm excited for you guys. As others have stated, Frieren is a slow burn anime that is very deep and hits you with deep analysis. I'm not sure how dialogue will be interpreted in the dub version as I've never committed to the dub version. (P.S) Eisen DID speak during the intro before Ken reacted to his voice, prob didn't realize it was him.

2025-06-21 01:44:25 +0000 UTCFrieren is definitely a slow burner, and it's very different than anything else you've watched. Its a melancholy and calm series but does of course have bits of action. Stick with it for a few episodes and you might get more into the swing of it

2025-06-21 01:36:41 +0000 UTCIt's actually really impressive that you picked up on the premise just from the title and the intro song. This is a fantastic, genre breaking anime. It reinvents so many of the tropes of fantasy anime. The fact that it picks up after the journey is, essentially, already over. The non-linear story telling, and the way magic actually works in Frieren's universe are all very original and the inverse of how it's normally done. I won't say anything else because potential spoilers. But I friggin' love this show. Episodes 1-4 were meant to be a movie and essentially make up 'the prologue'. Which is why the endings feel a little abrupt at times. Since the story was split up to be episodic.

2025-06-20 21:35:40 +0000 UTCFrieren Friday, I love it! I agree too that this episode was more like breadcrumbs to me, not too interesting, but intriguing and I look forward to what this series unravels. And also, whatever demon king they slew at the beginning HAD to be tougher than Gomah lol

2025-06-20 20:09:51 +0000 UTCI am so excited you two are getting to this anime! FMA:B was my favorite anime up until I watched Frieren. It has such a unique story and incredible art and I'm really happy you two are really digging into the analysis because I do think there are a lot more nuances to the story. There's a good bit to analyze from the body language, expressions, and environmental story telling. One small example was the shop keeper after Frieren left the group. You see him early on after she leaves then a few scenes later, you see him again, but much older now when she asks about the shadow dragon horn. It was only about a minute long montage, almost conveying how seamlessly time passes for Frieren but within that short montage, it was 50 years as she returned to the same shopkeeper but now much older. Episode 1 still never fails in making me tear up. It is also good to approach this series knowing that it is a lot more of a slow burn anime compared to your normal animes, which is part of way I love it so much.

2025-06-20 19:09:29 +0000 UTC2 things i love about frieren 1. is that it takes the typical fantasy setting of anime worlds but follows it after the heroes big triumph hence the title "Beyond journey's end". Usually in anime fantasy it will follow "X" hero building up there power to face the ultra power bad guy(or demon lord as they are usually referred to as. and 2. is that it doesnt overly abuse fan service like so many modern anime do, you could even claim it has none lol. Fyi with pronounciation most of the character and city names in this show are german in origin
