Enjoy! Ep 1 of Mob Psycho 100 coming next Friday!

Comments

Serie loves her students, she just doesn’t have the emotional capacity to behave like she does. Plus having to basically raise them only to watch them die over and over has definitely left her bitter. But she still always takes on new students because she deep down really loves to teach magic to those she thinks are worthy. She even has unrealistically high expectations for all of them, like a parent/teacher, and no matter what they accomplish (Flamme) she always wants more for them.

I think there is something interesting words noting related to the whole overlook of what we know. The party of heroes kills the demon king. The demons hides in fear. Himmel dies. And the demons come back and start to expand on different part of the world but most importantly to the north. Serie comes after few decades and decides that's it's too dangerous to go unprepared in the northern region. Serie create the magic association to supervise magic (doing what Flamme ask her to do 1000 years before and she refuses, but now she does it) I like the whole Dynamic of the overworld and time we can grasp from there journey. Can't wait for season 2. In the north there might qo many mighty groups and even mighty danger for Serie to step in the world and cut the North from the other part of the world

Season 2 will be great!

I love how the lessons in Frieren aren't linear, they're always callbacks just like Frieren's experience. When we encounter anyhting (for example, Lernen wanting to leave a legacy to accompany Serie) the root of it was almost always told explicitly many epiosdes before, but it just takes a while for a viewer to put the pieces together, just like Frieren did (as in, Himmel wanted to be a hero to have that legacy accompany Frieren).

I just want to say this is an amazing anime and you two as usual give great reactions. Also forgot how spicy some comments can get. It seems like that js more common for anime reactions so I dont see them as often

Suplee215

Stark is so funny I can’t with him 😂

thevoidbender

I feel for Serie even if I don’t agree with her actions/outlook. She gets to see that spark and joy of magic her students have at the beginning kind of like watching your child grow/learn but also has to watch it eventually flicker and die out in such a short time (for her). It’s kind of sad.

thevoidbender

Starks running gags are the best. his fear of nobles, him being so heroic everyone just likes him whereever he goes. It's highlighted again in Wirbels convo but frieren truly isnt a hero at all and she doesnt want to be

Limini

When i watched it on my own i was unsure about how intentional the feet thing is bc it's so random to put such a focus on it but when you guys called it out, i felt so validated

Limini

When Wirbel says "Death isnt't the onyly goodbye in life" that hurt so much. I kind of expected a bigger reaction from frieren. When i think back on the first episode, I really can't believe that hey let himmel die right then and there. When we saw him after the 50 years time skip i was thinking "a so it's going to be slice of life and the two of them living out his last years" and he just dies. He's just gone and you can really feel time slippin through her fingers and the regret she has not using her time differently. When Fern had to explain to her that she won't spend three years searching for the flower and Frieren needed that to understand how time is still different. The lesson had to sink in for her. That's so crazy. Like time truly just keeps moving. Idk how to express what i wanted to express but it's something along the lines of being helpless against time and needing time to adjust oneself but time keeps movingon regardless idk

Limini

While i love serie and am one of her biggest defenders, everytime she hides her feelings i want to shake her and scream. She is so rude and intentionally hurting her students feelings in an attempt to distance herself. It's so frustrating. I feel so sorry for Lernen who is this great mage with a wife and kids and grandkids who serie holds in high regard but he still feels inadequate in his old age bc of series words. I don't think she knows how much influence she has over her students be it Flamme or Lernen. A different kind of immature compared to Frieren.

Limini

Y'all are gonna love it even more on the rewatch- all the little details will start jumping out at you

GooseToes

Cover my ass? What do u mean lol, pretty common that we might miss an interpretation then get it during editing, watching 1000 episodes at some point you get stuff wrong haha If you mean commenting more on this post, that’s just cause it’s the final episode

Letts React

I love Kenny trying to cover his ass from the comments under last video and completely missing the point. 😂

gamerx

I always find it hearth breaking that we see Frieren start crying when she is remembering Himmels words about tearful goodbyes and how it would be embarrassing when they met again. Realizing that she would never meet Himmel again hit her hard during the funeral.

RogerS

Currently watching from a bar in Tokyo, couldn’t wait hahah

Shinji

All good points, tho it's funny that you called out Kanne, Laufen, Scharf, and Ehre for being forgettable while COMPLETELY forgetting about the fifth one Dunste lol, whose only memorable qualities were his mustache and being voiced by Chris Sabat.

HBelmont 24

Not only is this a beautiful series that tells interesting and beautiful stories and lessons, but also leaves things up to interpretation in a way that doesn't feel like a cop-out for the sake of seeming smarter than it is etc. All around fantastic series and glad you two watched it and loved it. <3

Drake

Serie's final test can easily be summed up as such: It's a vibe check, but she doesn't care what kind of vibes you have, just that you have them. Ubel's a freak, Land had the audacity to not take the test in person, Wirbel is a tactically minded soldier who views magic practically, much like Serie herself, and Methode is a quirky weirdo who's not afraid to say exactly what she's thinking. All very different, but all distinct. Meanwhile, Kanne, Laufen, Scharf and Ehre all have nothing really going for them. Kanne's still too inexperienced to really be a true First Class Mage, and the other 3 are so forgettable that I had to look up their names for this comment. Even her failure of Frieren follows this, Frieren refuses to engage with Serie's taunting, remaining true to who she is as the very thing Serie dislikes, someone who thinks differently than her. Decidedly vibeless, in Serie's eyes, even if we as viewers disagree.

HamboneKablooey

I mean is it a sucker punch when he literally says he's going to be infamous as the mage that killed Frieren BEFORE he attacks her? Like i feel like that's enough of a warning that attack was coming, lol.

Joe Dunams

Would KILL to have that spell when camping

Letts React

*Frieren, and I thought FMAB had overtaken it again. Wasn't that how it went when Oshi No Ko became that #1 anime? I didn't realize Frieren was still holding that title, but good for her! 👍

HBelmont 24

Agreed! January can’t come soon enough

Letts React

Shit was SO MIND BLOWING

Letts React

What do you think of her saying “I have to stop taking human apprentices”

Letts React

REALLY hope season two keeps up the quality. 🤞

HBelmont 24

After editing and having time to think on it I TOTALLY see that

Letts React

Makes you wonder why she hasn't sought out other elves. Maybe this is all implying that there . . . aren't any. Or, if there are, they're spread to the wind and keep a low profile, like Frieren and Kraft.

HBelmont 24

Hey, I remember Montana referencing the starfish parable in My Hero Academia season four, when talking about Jiro helping bring Eri out of the darkness! 😃

HBelmont 24

Seriously in GOAT contention for me, and it’s only SEASON 1

Letts React

Gonna miss it too!!!! Thanks for watching with us!!

Letts React

To me it seems that Serie truely wants to have a student that surpasses her, which is her unreasonable benchmark for being a disappointment or not. To expect a human with such a short life span to surpass her, the "living grimmoire" wo knows almost every spell in existence, whose mana capacity is suppressed as high as frierens mana uncompressed is basically impossible.

Yuion

Wirbel's conversation with Frieren really won me over. He went from a character I already thought was cool to my favorite new addition in this arc. It helps that he's voiced by Lemillion from My Hero. Ricco Fajardo has always been one of my favorite VA's in the anime community. He just has a natural way of saying dialogue that sounds so good, regardless of whatever character he's playing.

HBelmont 24

Both shows are good. Just different kinds of good.

HBelmont 24

As usual, they missed the point. 🫩

HBelmont 24

Imo, Solo Leveling is a great show for some turn-your-brain-off entertainment with lots of action and cool visuals; that's a perfectly valid reason to like something. Frieren has a vastly better story and emotional weight to it, but it is something that requires you to think and get invested in to enjoy it and that is always going to have a less broad appeal. So I'm disappointed but not surprised by the Crunchyroll results.

David L

I love how Montana had her instant reaction of blaming Serie being the teacher as to why none of her students reached their potential, but in this case it is actually not the teachers fault, it is the fault of Death. I think the thing that really frustrates the hell out of Serie is that I dont think she is that talented and she knows it. She is the strongest mage because she is the oldest, but she sees all these prodigies who are so much more talented than her, and she sees their potential, she knows how much they could do if they had the same lifespan that she does, but they can never reach those heights, because they just dont have the lifespan necessary for it.

David Bodor

Like, "we get it. You like Mob Psycho 100. No need to bash on other people for it."

HBelmont 24

Something this special doesn't come around often loved this anime

Alejandro Rosado

IGN voted Frieren anime of the year. Crunchyroll choose Solo Leveling. I think Frieren is far more well rounded, but Solo Leveling reached far outside typical anime audiences. So I understand both choices.

Æther Paradox

20 16 is pressed as hell in these comments LOL

Matthew Jobin

It really was a joke that solo leveling won anime of the year

KaladinStormLight

Imagine we meet sein again and he's just married with a kid or something

Limini

I'm glad that they watched the end credits, but did they really miss that shot of Sein sitting on a beach with a lady in the background? ☹️

HBelmont 24

It would be really cool to see you guys do some like short form videos reacting to edits to the show. The relationships and plot points and dynamics. So much to enjoy

MaSeshield9277

Aaah crying with you guys tooo! Gonna miss Freiren Fridays! 🥹

Swanzy

Don't need to say all this. If you don't like mob then your opinions clearly don't matter. That's all you should say .

20 16

Never thought about it that that 😅

HBelmont 24

Lernen is also the grandpa of Ehre. And when Ehre talks about Fern she said something along the lines of "she fights just like my grandpa, so oldschool" and Frieren belives Fern will someday surpass her. So Lernen and Fern are potentially on the List to defeat frieren. Lernen is like everywhere all over the arc but bc he is so timid, i almost forgot him. He's the one in the beginning letting Frieren tale the test with the holy emblem. Ehre talks about him to fern and wirbel ("my grandpa is a first class mage, if we fail i can ask him to escort us to the north" paraphrasing") he made the golems of course and at the very end Ehre is introducing them to her newparty. I just think it's so ironic that he an d Serie want him to be a bit more menorable but I forgot him so fast until he tried to kill Frieren. Until then he was on the same level as Falsch or Genau in terms of being background charas

Limini

Agreed. Would've been the superior choice.

HBelmont 24

So long, Frieren Fridays. It's been . . . magical.

HBelmont 24

Everyone please give mob a chance. The first few episodes are going to be rough for anyone who doesn't dig the artstyle but it's just as heartwarming and action packed as frieren at times. Although the character arcs remind me more of haikyuu. A great show that will make you laugh and inspire you if youre willing to meet it where it's at

Limini

He never outright stated that it was his wife's.

HBelmont 24

This is the one episode where at times i felt the translation lacking. Like the convo between frieren and wirbel and lernen. and when Serie says something along the lines of "that is how a mage ought to be" to wirbel

Limini

I cannot wait for season 2. This is definitely one of my all time favourite TV shows ever. It is just brilliant in every way, Kanehito Yamada was absolutely cooking with this one. Frieren: Beyond Journeys End and Orb: On the Movmeents of the Earth are like neck and neck for the top spot honestly. It is a bit disappointing that neither got anime of the year, but it is okay, they are more like anime of the decade anyways.

David Bodor

Indeed, cant wait for Season 2 but also have to wait for the Dub... unless that's when the Dub is planned to release. Gonna miss my Friday Show as I'm not a fan of Mob 100 but hope you all enjoy it.

Yuma Nanami

Serie is very much a “this is my stupid, disappointing son, I love him more than anything” kinda person

Mortis

Sense stated at the start of the second test that the escape golems were developed by Lernen.

HBelmont 24

*Lernen. There's always a chance for both I think it also depends on the circumstances. Like if one of them would take a hostage or how well they knew the terrain. I feel like Frieren hasn't really tried here

Limini

Yeah frieren was once a mage who only knew how to fight and only recently (for elfs) learned how to connect and communicate. She's not as bad as Serie anymore but not quite on himmels level either

Limini

The show made me rethink how i live my life and how i spend my time. I've begun reaching out to my friends more often even for inane things and reconnecting with friends i havent spoken to for a long time. I don't want to rush but i also don't want to waste my time. I occasionally have phases of depression where i just seem to loose a lot of time and ooportunities. frieren just helps finding peace with that and moving forward in a better direction

Limini

10/10 show for me too. It's so tender. It's really healing with its sentimental moments as well as the action that just gives you peace and hope for the world

Limini

I think serie just calls them failures to deal with her grief. She obvi remembers them fondly and with people like flamme has raised them since they were children. She sees all their talent and potential and the only reason they never reach her heights is because thyre human and they die. So whenever she thinks about how they could have become "great mages" she also has to think about how they died bc thats why they didnt become what she hoped for them. Like when you have a child and dream of sending them off to college bc they are prodigies and youre proud of them and want to help them develope further, only to be cut short through death has to be decastating and Serie has done that numerous times. I can't imagine how Frieren will cope when Fern passes and I wonder if she will take up another student or isolate herself for a couple hundred years or make up with serie, now that hey undrstand each other better. When they talk about that flower spell and how serie still uses it, i always think about how tenderly she held child flammes hand

Limini

I think its fair to say that Frieren has trouble with the softer things too. Not as much as Loren but I think her argument with Fern last episode is a perfect example. Shes just aware of it and making an effort to get better.

Suplee215

It is interesting to think about, the spell Fern picked is perfect. While you might be tempted to choose a spell unlike any other, maybe some amazing combat spell. But the simplest thing would have the biggest impact, a spell that you would cast every day, especially when you are on the road. For us, while space flight is a massive breakthrough, simple heating and cooling in our houses, lights, washer and dryer... so many magics of yesteryear are commonplace. Just like Zoltraak.

Kyle Laverentz

I think the show tells us that Lehren “could” in fact defeat Frieren. It’s not guaranteed but it’s not impossible. Frieren herself said Serie is always right, and Serie said Lehren could beat Frieren.

Jay

You know it is so funny, that even the Frieren ban is actually a lot deeper and kind of a backhanded compliment of sorts? By banning her for 1000 years from all Continental Magic Assosciation buildings, Serie basically made sure that Frieren would be remembered for the next thousand years.

David Bodor

penultimate means second to last

confetti dragon

handwashing things is such a pain and handwashing things on the road is even worse. I have a washing machine and its still a pain in the ass

Limini

I don’t think the whole serie and fern thing was confusing at all. She just takes what she thinks to be strong apprentices. None of them ever live up to her standards and it upsets her. But the cycle always continues because she never stops taking apprentices even though she flaunts like she will stop. Frieren knew fern was gonna be amazing enough to meet her standards and knew serie was gonna ask her to be her apprentice. That’s all.

Franina

You've now have seen both the number 1 and 2 anime. Friend #1 and FMAB #2

Guadalupe Leon

I love all the characters in this arc. I thought I was going to hate a lot of these characters but even the ones totally against Frieren's philosphy have good points and are interesting. Denke is that old guy who grew up poor but got rich and has no problem throwing money around because he got it to help others or just make them happy. I thibk the major difference between Serie and Frieren is shown when she asks the soldier mage what his favorite spell is. To Serie, magic is a tool. To Frieren its a wonder of the world and the more frivolous the better.

Suplee215

I will never get tired of seeing Lands home office reveal lol. Bro was taking the exam remotely XD

David Bodor

His wife’s grave! He mentioned his wife passed away a few episodes ago. 🥲

Victor Velazco

Apothecary Diaries would be so goated as the next show

Bruh

This truly is one of the best anime’s I’ve watched can’t wait for season two

Braden Jackson

Hey it’s the penultimate episode before season 2
