Frieren Episodes 9 + 10 Early Access - Sorcery Fight
Added 2024-05-23 03:22:29 +0000 UTCHelp, I can't stop naming Frieren reactions after popular shows oh nooo
Comments
I agree that Aura wasn't foolish. Frieren spent a thousand years practicing to trick her. (I also see this show's demons as tragic. They're evil, but they can't conceive any other way to be, despite being like people in every other way.)

2024-05-25 17:25:53 +0000 UTCTechnically you could argue that Aura did consider Frieren was concealing her mana, but that she was just too weak to be able to detect it. After all, Aura does confess she observed Frieren's mana down to the tinniest details that only demons believed they were capable of noticing, and she concluded Frieren had no fluctuations at all in her mana, so it is impossible for Frieren to be concealing it. Plus it's pretty much a common trope to dish back one's own medicine is it not? Aura made her reputation/life's work out of cutting off people's heads, so how is it not so fitting that when choosing her own death, she gets the chance to remove her head as well? Frieren did not specify she must kill herself via decapitation, so that is simply how she choose to end it.

2024-05-24 17:17:59 +0000 UTCThis depiction of demons reminds me of the elves in The Nightmare Stacks by Charles Stross. The elves in that world evolved magic before language, and thus the ability to magically compel before the ability to reason with each other, leading to a society very alien to humans.

2024-05-24 17:08:59 +0000 UTCyes it would absolutely be wrong normally. It would not in this specific case because The Demons represent a constant threat to all people and that cannot be reasoned with

2024-05-24 02:16:39 +0000 UTCAura's death has always played to me as kind of tragic. It's a bit off putting to see you take it as more rock 'n roll. The demons, while extremely flawed, are living based on their own culture/priorities. To me, Aura isn't an idiot for underestimating Frieren. She's just empathetic, based off what she's been taught, she has every right to think she would be unbeatable. Obviously demons = bad, and frieren is a badass, but I find it difficult to judge Aura for her arrogance. She's doing what her instincts tell her, and shes judging frieren based on centuries of experience. They make it very clear that suppressing your mana is idiotic if not down right unthinkable for a mage. So for Aura to fight Frieren and not consider that shes suppressing her mana isn't a fault. Aura is completely in the right to feel confident. Frieren is the one breaking "rules". I dunno, i've just never felt hype about Aura dying, despite her being an obvious villain. I feel like the anime decides to shift perspectiv here for this encounter., where Aura is almost the protag, and Frieren becomes the villain

2024-05-23 19:01:52 +0000 UTCThey hypothetically killed the majority of elves, not just Frierenโs village. โKill all the elves.โ Is it wrong to answer one genocide with another? ๐

Demons amd Humans are both bound to their natures, but humans have the capacity of empathy and kindness, and Demons will stab you while helping them cross the stream not out of spite or wickedness, but because it's just their nature.

2024-05-23 13:58:09 +0000 UTCFrieren dispelled the soldiers for two reasons: one was the con. Two Himmel did scold her 80 years ago for being disrespectful to the bodies of the knights that Aura corrupted when she used her flashier, more destructive spells. Epsiodes 7-10+ were, honestly, edge of my seat storytelling. From the build up to the Stark/Fern v Linie/Lรผgner to the great mental chess game between Frieren and Aura, ep9 and 10 are masterpieces. The animators went HAM on the character moments: Stark putting on his jacket, Fern's realization they've been tracked, THAT WALK, all the hair flowing... just wow. Seriously wow.

2024-05-23 13:55:24 +0000 UTCWhat a joy to listen to the intro to the episode, about cats and other monsters, then to get such a great reaction to what are a wonderfully animated pair of episodes! Thanks!

2024-05-23 12:20:15 +0000 UTCBorn too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the solar system, born just in time to watch peak anime. I like that sentiment.

2024-05-23 12:15:31 +0000 UTCWelcome to Jay Jay Kay title era. This genuinely made me think of a funny crossover thing where Frieren is just facing curses thinking they're just illusions from some demon and blast every Special Grade away with Zoltraak
