In order for them to be evil, there would first need to be a person there, but demons aren't persons, they're imitations of persons.

      And it's actually pretty in character for Fern, being a perv but not even realising it and projecting it on Stark later or scolding Frieren for the same thing she does herself. It's more than just a cheap joke (although it's obviously not the greatest joke in the world, I'm not trying to say it's comedy genius or anything). It's a sign of Fern's subconscious hypocrisy at times. She's awesome but she's not perfect and I love her for it.

    Re: Eisen hitting Stark for the first time, I’ve trained martial arts for most of my life and have been teaching for >10 years too. For most schools, there’s a big difference between the level of force one uses in a training setting (especially as an instructor working with a student) and the level of force that manifests when someone is fighting for their life. Stark getting hit by a *serious* and *fearing for his life* Eisen (for the first time & with no warning) would reasonably frighten & confuse him.

  • @OnThePlaybill
    @OnThePlaybill 9 днів тому +34

    To your wondering why the child demon acted in a way that seemed like it just didn't understand what it was doing when it killed that village chief; It always felt to me that it was playing the long game. The demon was trying to put everyone at ease so it could eventually betray and kill that whole village, but people weren't willing to forgive it after killing the child. It figured the best solution would be to replace the child so they would trust it finally. Then it was confused why killing another person was bad or even what familial attachment was. I don't think it was acting in a way to ask for forgiveness, but more to placate everyone.

    • @nucleargandhi2709
      @nucleargandhi2709 9 днів тому +5

      I also don't think it was seeking forgiveness, but I don't think it was playing much of a game either. I think the demon saw an opportunity to kill someone of power and authority and, according to the habits of demons, implicitly inherit that power and authority. It was genuinely surprised when the villagers responded not with submission but with retaliation, and it was surprised again when its apparently favorable trade of a child for its own life was also met with hostility. Demons are so far removed from how we think that a young demon with little knowledge of the world would reasonably be dumbfounded by human behavior.

      I feel you're giving that demon kid too much credit. In that flashback, we're watching a psychopath in action. Able to mentally perceive the villagers' desire, but incapable of properly putting it together. Not understanding the concept of family bonds. Not understanding the value of life. Not understanding the human concept of lasting legacy. I read off that scene that she really wanted peace in that village (because, hey, easy ride), but her core values were so off it was essentially impossible in the long term. Combine that with demons liking the taste of mankind over any other food, and yeah it was a disaster waiting to happen. It just wasn't a particularly cunning disaster. IMHO

    • @OnThePlaybill
      @OnThePlaybill 8 днів тому

      To clarify, I don't mean to say that the demon had a 'master plan'. It was obviously doing what it needed to survive. But more I mean, it had the intention to kill as many people as possible, it was overpowered, so then it was biding its time. It just needed to wait for the right opportunity. It just made bad/ignorant decisions.

    13:15 Actually Nerdy is right. Part of training specially martial arts is stress testing. You can't train boxing without getting punched in the face a couple of time. That would only get you in trouble when a real fight(sport or not) comes around. The same is with combat with weapons. Hema, Kendo and other disciplines that involve close combat will make you get hit A LOT and it's going to hurt. Obviously with safety precautions like armor or dull weapons and all that but it's important to get hit.

    If you want to know how old Fern is during the anime just subtract 11 from the years since Himmel’s death. In episode 3 Fern says that she is 16 years old and that is when it was 27 years since Himmel’s death. When Frieren met Fern at Heiter’s place it was 20 years after the death of Himmel so Fern was 9 at that time.

    The one time I'll say something about dub vs sub - Lügner is voiced in Japanese by Suwabe Junichi - the VA for Sukuna - and later there is a character voiced by Nakamura Yuuichi (Gojo's VA). Suwabe lends such a sexy menace to Lügner that the English Va doesn't have at all - it does make a difference sometimes.

    • @SethScapesGaming
      @SethScapesGaming 4 дні тому +1

      The English main cast VA’s add a lot that the original doesn’t have which more than balances it out. Frieren herself gets brought a level of dynamics which resolve the ludonarrative dissonance that an apathetic voice has compared to her actions and motivations.

    32:32 it’s not evil, we just perceive it as such. In the show demons are a completely separate species of predators that learned how to speak and think like humans so they can hunt them better. It’s not out of malice, demons eat humans for food and they do whatever it takes to hunt them down. You wouldn’t attribute malice to a hunter setting up a hidden trap in the forest to catch a rabbit. We just instinctively think of it as evil because they look like us and can speak.

    That experience with the demon girl, that was a learning experience for Himmel, not Frieren. Frieren had been alive for over a thousand years at that point, and she had known what demons are for over a thousand years. She tried to tell Himmel, but he didn't listen. His compassion got the better of him. The fact that Frieren went along with it and didn't blast the demon girl right away shows how much she respected Himmel. Or that she understood that he needs to learn for himself.

They’d over populate within a few generations.

    This is the first time I've heard the dub version, it's fine, I guess, but you lose a _lot_ of the kawaii in translation (such as Frieren's joyous but unintelligible sounds as she approaches the loot being replaced with "the treasure is mine!"). Sometimes this doesn't do much but make a scene less cutsey and fun, but other times it'll make a character come off as a creep or an asshole.
    That said, I'd give a dub a shot if it's at least partly written and voiced by Nerdy and Clarus.
    Regarding the hit Eisen gave Stark, I think Stark meant that it was the only time Eisen hit him with force as opposed to getting hit in training which would have been little more than taps. Eisen would have normally pulled his punches, but didn't that one time. It could also mean it was the only time he hit Stark with his fists as opposed to a training sword or axe

    I absolutely adore you both, and before I bitch about the dub (lol) I want to make something absolutely clear. I'm happy you two are watching this at all, and however you enjoy it best is the correct way for both of you to do that :)
    What bothers me though, is that the dub... woefully under-represents the tone of certain scenes. For starters... The mother of the child who the demon killed didn't say "she took our daughter" She said "it ate our daughter". It's not just the way things are said... it's the actual content of what's said.
    And unfortunately it's probably due to an attempt to line up the lip flap animation rather than match the original meaning. There's more than one point where the dub butchers the content to the point where scenes which are solemn or silent with only a few words to add tension, are acted with comedy in mind... terrible lol.
    And I say that with respect for the English VAs too... I assume the direction for them was the culprit here.
    Anyways, you're both Amazing lol. I don't want you to think I'm trying to enforce my will on what you two ought do. It's just that the dub is so grating to me that the only thing getting me to continue watching your reaction to this is the fact that I'm watching it for you both, not the content you're reacting to lol.
    Anyways, hopefully some people will get angry enough with my comment here to respond and get you guys engagement ;) lmao
    PS: I've been looking through UA-cam for an ActualPlay/Liveplay of a TTRPG and I just remembered that you both do TTRPG content as well. So I'm going to be spelunking to see if there's a long-running campaign of yours I can put on while I work :)

      For the acting, this is mostly true, but I very much prefer the translation used for the sub than the translation used for the dub. The dub's "That thing took our daughter" does not have the abject horror of the sub's "That thing ate our daughter". Or with the skirt-flipping, Himmel's dub of "I've been wanting to do that for ages" is substantially creepier than the sub's "You saw what I've been wanting to see". There's a few similar examples where I think the sub translation is superior, but no examples where I think the dub translation is superior. But both sets of voice actors are good.

    The demon girls wasn't apologetic as she can't even understand feeling bad or apologising but she was just trying to rationally ensure peace as it was convenient for her, but her rationality is inherently flawed because it can't take human emotions into account. It is possible that just like wild animals can be tamed over generations, demons selectively bred for less violent instinct and raised from birth by a similarly long lived species life an elf would be able to co-exist even if they can't feel the same feelings as humans and elves, but it's hardly a practical (or ethical) solution.
    So what's interesting here is that they didn't go for the "they're redeemable" route, but they didn't go the "they're evil for evil's sake or for no reason" route either. Instead, demons are just animals, slaves to their predatory instincts and lack of pity. That combination of predator-like characteristics and the fact that they're sapient beings like humans leads to interesting scenarios. They're a good representation of a truly alien species that's on our level.

      If you're talking about Serie's comments about her being unskilled for her age, that's merely a reflection on *how* she used her training, basically Serie says Frieren is not spending her skill points optimally by focusing on mana suppression too much, but she has as many skill points (hours of training and experience) as she should for her age.

    To address your big concern during episode 6. The show is fairly light-hearted for the most part, but spends time and drills down into times where more time needs to be spent. This demon arc as well as some episodes near the end of the season are not skipped over. Instead, they are given the proper time to delve into the story, motivations, and characters.
    Enjoy. :D

  • @danielhendricks7604
    @danielhendricks7604 12 днів тому +6

    There's a few things that I find interesting about Frieren's take on "Demons are just inherently evil":
    1) The humanoid demons tend to be light skinned and attractive, which is a subversion of the inherently evil races usually having darker skin tones and being ugly. Gives the vibe of vampiric nobles feeding off the common people. Though young demons tend to be dressed in rags.
    2) The assertion that humans are prey for demons (and in the sub translation, humans are explicitly eaten by demons) does cast them as more a threat like the dragon than a threat like an enemy country. They didn't negotiate with the dragon either, they just killed it. The dragon was intelligent enough to recognize a threat and leave the village alone. Why does Frieren (the show) want us to be fine with that, but question killing the demons?
    3) That the flashback still has shades of "blue and orange morality". The demon kid is arguably attempting to find an honest solution to deal with the problem of the family of the kid she ate from hating her, but is working from a sense of morality that is so far away from human morality that it just doesn't work at all. The next couple episodes show that demons do have some morality about some forms of deception, but in ways that make pretty much zero sense to humans.
    4) That all of this is through Frieren's viewpoint and she is not a reliable narrator. She is just now figuring out how humans work and just now learning the subtext of previous interactions with humans, so why would we believe she knows how demons work?
    5) As someone who has not yet read the manga, I have to assume there's a reason that the Demon King's castle is right next to Heaven, and that reason might explain a lot about demons.
    While I tend to agree with criticism of "fantasy race X is inherently evil" or even "fantasy race X is under the sway of that thing that makes them evil" as being problematic by casting a sentient species being universally evil, I do think that the show leaves enough wiggle room around it to make it extremely interesting that they went this route.

    • @danielhendricks7604
      @danielhendricks7604 6 днів тому

      @ Unreliable narrators are not necessarily wrong, but we should be aware that they are not omniscient. Likewise, Lugner is asserting that Frieren's views align with his, but he may not be correct either. Both of their experiences are thrown in to question by the flashback girl demon. She's murdering an entire family, but is doing it because she wants to become a part of the community. She's just REALLY bad at reading the community. There is solid evidence supporting Frieren/Lugnar's views, but that doesn't mean they are 100% correct.

    • @danielhendricks7604
      @danielhendricks7604 6 днів тому

      @ Exactly. If the demons see humans as prey, their learning speech is basically like a fly fisher learning the best hooks for various fish or a hunter spraying the musk of their prey around a site. A hunter might use tactics on prey that they would never use on an intelligent being. But if demons can be convinced humans are intelligent, that may change. One of the things I'm very curious about is how demon society (and not just the Demon King's generals that stayed in the field after the war) have reacted to the Demon King's death. I don't consider man-eating tigers evil, but I'd definitely have questions if four of them fought their way into the White House and killed the president.

    Just a small thing to consider - while it shares some tropes with a standard-DnD setting, this does not automatically mean that everything in it is following DnD ideas and systems. DnD itself has borrowed tons of things from other fantasy stories, it isn't unusual to find commonalities. And I fear seeing everything through a DnD lense might hamper some of your enjoyment later.

      Both disagreeing and agreeing, in that there is a popular DnD clone in Japan that started in the 80s, that I can't remember the name of, that has grown is very popular that came from 2nd edition DnD. In many ways it's there version of Pathfinder. So, where we have multiple editions that have grown from 2nd edition and is very changed from its root, so too has that one, and they bend away from each other increasingly. So, you can very much see the DnD in the show and similar shows, the DNA has evolved.

Spoken as someone who has seen several people respond to fantasy media in the past and being very disappointed because "it didn't fit to the rules" or similar concepts. We all approach things we read from our personal background, and with certain expectations, and as long as there isn't a "this media belongs to this specific IP/ttrpg system" I would not needlessly restrict myself by trying to press it into such a framework.
