2024-11-15 15:23:18 +0000 UTCAs a non English native speaker, this would confuse more haha; let’s them re name the characters as Bertolto if necessary

2024-07-08 02:27:48 +0000 UTCThe manga currently has a little over 130 chapters, the first season has adapted the first 60 chapters and theoretically Chapter 119 is a perfect finale for Season 2. So there is enough material.

2024-07-07 12:35:00 +0000 UTCThe manga has gone more into action, and the last chapters released even dwelved into political thriller territory

2024-07-07 05:09:00 +0000 UTCConsidering the amount of actual shorts shows that people wanted, frieren shouldn't have been an option in my opinion. The girls put it in this slot because a lot of people have been recommended it but they said it themselves that it wasn't a short show at all. That was why I was against it, not because I think older animes are better. Sure, few people may have said it but I think that in general, people just wanted the older animes to have their chance too.

2024-07-06 17:10:47 +0000 UTCI also want a second season soon haha. I could see this show going 4-5 seasons honestly but I’m not sure how much further the manga is than the anime. I wonder if there’s even enough content to adapt.

2024-07-06 08:17:45 +0000 UTCAgreed, and the fact it was literally episode 2 😭 The anime is such a fantastic adaptation

2024-07-06 05:30:10 +0000 UTCTotally get reserving judgement until the story is finished, but I think Freiren is about the destination and not the journey, so it’s already in my 3x3

2024-07-06 03:04:29 +0000 UTCYup, and the same thing happened with S1 of Vinland Saga. In fact, I've noticed that more anime are dropping double or triple episode premieres in recent years (like Suicide Squad ISEKAI). That, or the first episode has a longer run time (like the Fate series, or the upcoming Re:Zero S3).

2024-07-06 02:45:09 +0000 UTCAgreed, but who knows how long that will be. I know we should focus on the journey instead of the wait, but I really want a second season soon. 😅

2024-07-06 02:44:26 +0000 UTC@Wallas - I think you're kinda exaggerating. The comments I read from people who wanted LM to watch something else weren't opposed to Frieren because the show is newer. There were a few folks who said Frieren was boring, which is a notion I can't relate to (although their opinions are just as valid as ours), but the other opinions I heard felt reasonable. Some people wanted LM to hold off on Frieren until later to spare them the painful wait for new episodes that everyone else is dealing with. Other people simply preferred a different show to Frieren, which doesn't mean they felt Frieren is a bad show. It isn't unusual to see people requesting other shows when it comes time for LM to start a new series. So long as they're being respectful, I see no issue with that. If there were people saying Frieren shouldn't be watched because it's bad, or if people were downplaying Frieren by knocking it for being a newer anime, I missed those comments. I have to assume that was a very small minority of people. Like, maybe one or two people max.

2024-07-06 02:36:15 +0000 UTCI’m a little late but here is a comment I saw somewhere earlier on how to pronounce the names, hope this helps. Frieren is pronounced ( Free - Ren ) Heiter is pronounced ( High - ter ) Fern is pronounced ( Fair - n ) As in Being Fair and then you add the N Eisen is pronounced ( I - Zin ) The letter i and then the word zin And as for Himmel you’re already saying his name right so yeah no need for corrections lol
Sergeant Jay
2024-07-06 02:35:26 +0000 UTCThe show uses german as inspiration behind the words/names... so if you are ever in doubt about pronunciation look toward the german way. Like frieren just means freeze or cold... like her personality

2024-07-06 02:14:03 +0000 UTCThat was the moment that did me in during my first watch. Plenty of emotional scenes in this series, but that one really struck me
Isaac
2024-07-06 01:55:48 +0000 UTCI have cried so much during these first two episodes. Especially after losing both my parents these past two years it really hits home how life is so short and fleeting. It’s still beautiful and healing. 🪻🥲
Ken Drummer
2024-07-06 01:45:35 +0000 UTCI didn't expect to tear up so much when I first saw the scene of her seeing the flowers! Glad you two are enjoying it already, the journey only gets better 🥰
wing-yi
2024-07-06 01:08:37 +0000 UTCFrieren is pronounced as FREE-REN, i was thinking it would be pronounced as FRY-REN based on how the spelling has "i" in it before i started watching the show. Whenever lola says FREE-EREN, it just keeps reminding of AOT lol.

2024-07-06 00:59:05 +0000 UTCI see, thank you.
Harfie
2024-07-06 00:40:17 +0000 UTCI’d advise to watch episode 4. The first 4 were meant to be watched together and that episode gives more insight into what the main plot will be. Some arcs will have more action than others but I think most of the vibes are cozy comfy. I’m an anime only so I’m not sure how it’s going in the manga currently.
Kaycee
2024-07-06 00:37:12 +0000 UTCAfter hearing so much high praise about it here on patreon, I watched the first 3 episodes of Frieren. I’m just curious, does the plot ever pick up at any point? Will there be a strong central goal? Or will it continue being this cozy, mellow character exploration vibe?
Harfie
2024-07-06 00:29:48 +0000 UTCPersonally, I've been against Frieren because there are a few more seasons to come and it has an extreme amount of characters that are easy to forget in 2 to 3 years of waiting for the next season. The show itself is of course great though and exactly what they love in a story.
Robert H.
2024-07-05 23:41:05 +0000 UTCThe reason why the studio released 4 episodes at once is simply because of how Japanese anime releases work. These still start on TV and are then released on the streaming platforms. But the TV slots are limited. What's more, anime are always released in batches: January-March (winter), April-June (spring), July-September (summer), October-December (fall). If you want to buy a TV slot, you have to use it for a whole period of time (12/13 episode slot). In the case of Frieren, they bought a slot, but for the first broadcast they bought the 3 slots afterwards from another purchaser, which allowed them to release the whole first season with 28 episodes in two time periods without having to buy a whole 12/13-episode slot from another time period. At the same time, the first 4 episodes were produced as one movie and then split up for the streaming platforms. As a result, episodes stop in the middle of scenes.

2024-07-05 23:34:33 +0000 UTCI can already tell that once we get to the end of the entire story it’s going to feel so rewarding. It’s going to be such a heartfelt journey.
Kaycee
2024-07-05 23:24:13 +0000 UTCI remember web scraping some stuff on MAL and saw this on number 1 on some category. Did it give it much thought. Then one day I decided to watch it and it was amazing. It is definitely Vinland Saga, HxH and Steins; Gate level IMO.
David Salazar
2024-07-05 23:23:30 +0000 UTCThe exact reaction I hoped you would have to this show. It's shocking to me that some people here tried to diminish this anime just because it's new, as if old and classic anime were necessarily better just because they were old, a ridiculous point of view...
Wallas
2024-07-05 23:21:00 +0000 UTCFrieren is a great show. I hope Season 2, 3 and 4 come quickly. 28 Episodes are not enough!
Robert H.
2024-07-05 23:14:17 +0000 UTCNot sure I've ever been so affected by a show a mere 2 episodes in. What a beautiful start to a story
Max Carter
2024-07-05 23:11:46 +0000 UTCThis show is about Death, grief and life. In the most beautiful way portrayed. I really loved this experience.
Arcturus
2024-07-05 23:08:42 +0000 UTCI knew you would be enjoying it but its still awesome to hear. Its just a mood
Unholy
2024-07-05 22:59:54 +0000 UTCI'm still at the start of the video so I don't know if this explanation will still be helpful in any way but "elf" and "mage" are not the same thing, it's like saying "human" and "warrior". "Elf" is just a classification in terms of what she is as a living being while "mage" is a classification in terms of what she specializes in, which is magic. So being a human and a mage at the same time is totally possible, you don't necessarily need to be an elf. Hope it helped clarify things a bit!

2024-07-05 22:59:23 +0000 UTCAnime of the year. Such a positive healing series. Such a wonderful soothing experience that feels extremely valuable in this time.
Mra Keung
2024-07-05 22:48:28 +0000 UTClove how the passage of time is depicted in this show. frieren being able to re experience her journey seeing the echoes and ripples of it is so beautiful

Maria Connell
2024-07-05 22:40:58 +0000 UTCGreat reaction happy you girls are enjoying this masterpiece
Jarvis Fowlkes
2024-07-05 22:39:38 +0000 UTCYeah I watched it with my husband a few months ago and we both completely fell in love with it and got emotional several times. It skyrocketed up to his favorite anime (definitely up there for me, but I don't want to give it that statement until the story is over haha).
cosmotron
2024-07-05 22:33:22 +0000 UTCGlad that you watched the first four episodes! This was my favorite anime airing this year in the winter. Nothing else coming out for the rest of the year could top it for me.
My Toasty Toast
2024-07-05 22:29:33 +0000 UTCFrieren healing us and tugging our heartstrings every episode, while also making us contemplate life adn the passage of time is why I love this show sm. Glad you guys are loving it so far!
halfeldian
2024-07-05 22:27:13 +0000 UTCand now they’re gonna retrace the steps of those 10 years.. no, i will die
LM Reactions
2024-07-05 22:25:48 +0000 UTCFrieren left, so Sadly Himmel couldn’t take her to see those flowers when he was alive, but now at least he was able to take her when he was dead, such a bittersweet moment. Frieren didn’t think much about those ten years she spent with them do to the way she views time, but once Himmel died, that’s when she started to have regrets and realized how precious those mere 10 years were to her.
Jay
2024-07-05 22:23:57 +0000 UTCKnew you would feel that way. Can't wait for you to experience the rest of it. <3
