Yeaaah, alcohol is divine. This is a common thing across ALL religions. Yes, even the Abrahamics. Good lord, the Books outright say "give wine unto those heavy of heart". This is what happens when moralists don't actually know the Texts and Histories.
Himmel was like an isekai gamer. He took on every quest, helped everyone, explored every dungeon 100%, was on a journey to defeat the endboss, tried to romance the only female in his party and didn't get rid of useless loot(that shadow dragon horn from episode 1).😁
My rolling theory is Himmel was a tenshi isekai MC but never spilled the beans. That's why he got rejected by the Hero's Sword but was still the hero anyways.
If not for the canonical fact that demons don't have mothers, or families. We don't know how they come into the world, but they're likely artificial creations by something that wants to kill humans as effectively as possible.
The "Zoltraak" spell is actually a cool example of how weapon development (or any competetive development) works in the real world. If you develop a perfect weapon, everyone will work full-time to either replicate it or defend against it, and it quickly becomes obsolete.
That's what i *love* about that episode, the world *adapted* to the "ancient kill spell" to make sure it didn't haplen again in 80 years or more. That made me so much more onvested in Frieren's worldbuilding, ive never seen any other show do that
The idea of the modt powerful evil spell in the universe becoming the equivalent of magic missile to modern spellcasters is kinda hilarious. Also, "You're not Father Dad, are you?" was equal parts adorable, sad, and hilarious. Well done actress.
I kinda want to head cannon that that is what happened. Magic missile being this never miss independent targeting spell that just gets bodied by shield. A spell that if someone rolls well enough can still be bypassed.
Grimmjack is the friend you stayed up with all night playing video games....until you look outside and notice it's really bright outside for only being like 2am.
I have a feeling the cursed horn that radiated dark and probably unhealthy aura was one reason that drastically declined Himel’s health. Just look how well a drunk priest aged in his death bed and how Himel aged (bold, too old, can’t walk without cane and half his height than in youth)
Men do stupid things when in love. Clinging to a cursed horn and denying a family for himself by finding another who would love him. All for a woman who, let's be honest, couldn't care less about his existence. She literally realizes his feelings for her after his death. And only now does she wish to perhaps explore the possibility that she feels the same for him. Crying at the knowledge she's denied both of them a better life. The cursed horn being his untimely undoing and it's all because she didn't care enough to understand he would do anything for her and she wouldn't do the most basic of things. In this case remembering to get a horn that she asked him to keep, knowing full well he would keep it for her. I like the cursed horn plot device. It opens up the story for a lot of different character routes, growth, and discussion.
I mean, to be fair, Himmel lived to be relatively healthy and able-bodied, so much that he could even go on a two-week hiking trip even in his seventies, in a society with the technology level of roughly the middle-ages.. The horn really couldn't have done _that_ much damage to his health. He was probably still one of the oldest people in the entire city by the time he died... To be honest, it always seemed much weirder to me that Heiter ended up living as long as he did. (I kinda wonder if he might have had a little non-human blood running through his veins, to be honest...)
@@soul-om4id I also don't really buy the "Himmel pining away the rest of his life for Frieren" thing. That just does not fit his character at all, IMHO... Sure, he loved her, probably more than she'll ever really realize, but he knew full well from the beginning that it was something that was never meant to be, and he entirely accepted that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually relieved that she never reciprocated his feelings, because while it might have been nice for him, becoming romantically attached to someone who was just going to leave her after a short half-century or so of being together would probably not be something he would want her to have to go through anyway (that's sorta like a human falling in love with somebody who only has a couple of months to live). Neither one of them really had that bad a life anyway, and he was clearly actually pretty content with the path that his life had taken, in the end. And he didn't keep the horn just because it was for her, he kept it because he'd do the same for any of his treasured friends and colleagues, if he believed that some day they might want it again, because that's just the sort of person he is. To be honest, one of the things I really love about this series is that it doesn't fall into all the trite cliches of "romantic love is the only thing that matters in this world" and "they kissed and lived happily ever after", etc. Himmel's love was real, but it wasn't anywhere close to the defining motivation in his life. The characters here are a lot more subtle and complicated than that, and the vast majority of their emotions and motivations aren't just driven by wanting to get with some hot guy or cute girl. There are, in fact, people who can love somebody for its own sake, without actually needing to be loved back, and people can still have a fulfilling life even without getting married, settling down, having children, etc, too.
My interpretation for his old appearence was using One Piece logic: he didn't fulfill his dream of marrying the woman he loved, so he aged badly(actually, the only bad thing was his height really. His beard looks awesome, and being bald is better than having that yee yee ass haircut)
Gotta admit, Frieren’s journey and the folks she encountered have really made me invested in their stories. One of the best mangas/shows I’ve seen. Highly recommend.
To think it was originally made to be a comedy, 'Frieren the Slayer'. I think it was originally going to have a similar tone to the Schmuck Squad's Goblin Slayer.

@@davidstogsdill5854 Yeah but for higher races like say Dragons, Fey and then actual Deities, it's not even a concern.

I just realized that when Heiter's dying, he says "She's 107, I'm dying please take her". And then, on Fern's birthday, Frieren says "you're only 108 once." Please tell me I'm not the only one who took a while on that one
11:16 I do like how the initial impression is "okay she shot a rock what's the big deal", then you meet other mages and they're just SHE'S A CANNON, WHAT EVEN IS THIS GIRL
Tbf, Frieren hits hard when you are older. When it touches on the memories of those who have past, it is bitter sweet. From the meteor shower to simple smile, the anime def encompasses "its about the friends we make along the way" vibe and the life long sadness/regret when you cant see them again.
When you realize that Frieren checking up on her friends every 30 years is the equivalent to a human checking up on their friends every 30 minutes. Fixed spelling error of Frieren’s name.
29... that's an actual child for elves. How are they allowed to go outside? How do they deal with their memories of past lives? Unless you don't use that lore, I guess.
Similar thing happened between two of my players. Bow a 45 year old slimefolk (homebrew, they afe the same as humans) and Nissa a 116(?) Year old Gnome. The "you what!?" Came from the fact bow didn't realise nissa was technically a teenager. It got worse with Milo the goblin who's 18 but is technically middle aged in goblin years.
I played a Tiefling/Goliath paladin that was cursed with Immortality and I had a similar exchange with the party's 23 year old human bard. I said something along the lines of "How many more children am I currently traveling with" only for the entire party to reveal they were under the age of 30. He was mortified.
"Well, there's the daring Himmel, a valiant yet self-obsessed swordsman who is the living embodiment of "We have 'Fire Emblem' at home." Jack isn't wrong...
I am happy to see the Channel is back under it's rightful owner's control. I cannot imagine the nightmare it must have been. About this video, it was amazing but I could have sworn I already watched it... Still, I would love to see more of Frieren The Side Quests Story.
Villagers: The dragon ran because it was afraid of Stark! Stark: I was a coward. The dragon left because I wasn't worth killing. Frieren: Actually, no, that thing was legit scared for its life.
"I always do demons dirty. In front of their moms, if I can." Well that's just not true. Demons don't HAVE moms. Do it in front of their minions to embarrass them instead!
4:38 Frieren is probably at *least* a 1000 years his senior still and Himmel snaps at her like she's a teenager; can't help but laugh at the line delivery. 10:07 I mean, six years for Frieren IS basically a walk to the corner store. It's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Just...I have to pause this and just appreciate the talent on display here. The hard work it implies. You all. Are so f****** talented. All of you. Probably even the person who brings the bagels. I imagine you all? Right? Aren't hoity toity about bagels but like, you *know* the good place, right? Anyway. So talented. I'm rewatching GS, again, and now this, just. Huge respect to the hard work this represents. You all are incredible, and I wish all of you and your families nothing but joy. Incredible folks. Just stunning.
"I'm 16" "You're WHAT?!" Lol, Frieren probably remembers Himmel's death "like it was just yesterday" when it was literally before Fern was born and Frieren is like "this... CHILD is more developed than I am!"
He was. Only demons were able to use flying magic before Quaal was sealed away. The animation in this episode is so amazing... Just before Fieren zoltraaks him, the camera is from Quaal's perspective and it moves slightly from side-to-side as he looks for her, before panning up. Before that, while he is spamming multiple small attacks, Quaal sees one of Fern's small shields break; he immediately switches to blasting out the single big attacks that finally begin pressuring Fern. Then he notices Frieren is missing.
"Sure, you're on death's door, but that just means you got a new neighbor!" You know, I'm not even 20 but still… I needed that. Thanks, whoever wrote that joke.
This is like a really interesting combinations between the typical "X is a nutshell" narration and a full on abridged series, but condensed down further into just a collection of scenes connected by the narration.... And I love it. Seriously. Its a shame that doing abridged series is a massive pain with copyright issues because a Frieren abridged series with this level of quality and writing would be hysterical.
I was introduced to the show through this video and I'm now a very big fan of the show but this is absolutely my preferred version. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate and love what you're doing. This is absolutely fantastic and I would love to get a full series Abridged of this.
I love how when the other elves are introduced and you realize, no Frieren isn’t “like that” because she’s an elf. She definitely has the ‘tism. It’s like seeing other TimeLords in Doctor Who and realizing, “yep, he’s got the space autism” It’s a bit of fresh air from the alien/robot/otherwise non-human character’s autism-like traits being because they are not human (or even worse, defying those traits to show some sort of “human connection”).
I know he tried to make Frieren into an asshole but she's more clueless than an ass. Also she absolutely is in love with Himmel, it's just that she has no idea what love is. And didn't mention how Fern wanted to self delete.
LOL my favorite Blockbuster thing is when my best friend Suzy took her Aunt with her to get carded for the first time and be the designated driver. When they got to the club Suzy wasn't carded but her Aunt was. So, when the Aunt went to get out her ID an old Blockbuster membership card fell out. The Bouncer went "You know what? Never mind." Suzy still gets depressed over that, but I will never not think it's funny. xD
Imagine living so long that a decade feels like a short trip but you still have to eat and sleep every day. It's like if you fell asleep for two seconds every ten seconds and had to eat two or three meals in between
It's not really quite like that.. humans (and presumably elves) basically have a different perception for short time scales (minutes, hours, a day or two) vs long time scales (remembering what happened last month, or last year). The longer time scales can change with life experience (a year feels like an eternity when you're a kid, but when you're older you can be shocked that something you think of as just a couple of months ago was actually 5 or 10 years back, or something from "a few years ago" was actually 30 or 40 years in the past ("I feel old now")). For Frieren, the day-to-day things probably feel exactly the same as they do to us, but when you go further back than last week or so, it's easy to get confused between things that happened last month, or 10 years, or maybe even 100 years ago, because that's all just such a small part of your total life experience that there isn't that much of a difference, really...
I just stumbled upon this channel because of a short from this video, and this is actually pretty cool. It combines aspects of a season/series recap and review/commentary with the traditional fan humor of abridged series.

Jack isn't wrong...
The fact that the one non-canon game was shown, too
"I just wanna be home. It's where my stuff's at" is my forever vibe
-I knew Old Ewig never figured iut immortality?
-What? How?
-He died
-Fair.
... I'm going to watch this show and it's going to break my heart isn't it? Damn you, Grimmjack.
Not only will it break your heart, more than a few times; it will make you grateful for the pain.
@@blshouse You were right.
Frieren killed the Demon Lord while that guy who slays goblins was busy slaying goblins or something.
There's no shortage of adventurers lining up to go kill the demon lord, but someone has to keep killing the goblins.
😂
Frieren and company slayed the Demon Lord so hard that the remaining demons stayed in hiding until after Himmel died of old age.
1:28 The royal captial. AKA "every anime fantasy starting city ever."
The old lady delivering the deaths door line had me dying😂😂😂
"You get a new neighbor!"
I am happy to see the Channel is back under it's rightful owner's control.
I cannot imagine the nightmare it must have been.
About this video, it was amazing but I could have sworn I already watched it...
Still, I would love to see more of Frieren The Side Quests Story.
Villagers: The dragon ran because it was afraid of Stark!
Stark: I was a coward. The dragon left because I wasn't worth killing.
Frieren: Actually, no, that thing was legit scared for its life.
Frieren's deadpan line delivery is simply fantastic.
3:37 *”I just want be Home, it’s where my stuffs at.”* 😂💀
"I always do demons dirty. In front of their moms, if I can." Well that's just not true. Demons don't HAVE moms. Do it in front of their minions to embarrass them instead!
They actually do have mothers. Female demons pop out the babies and just immediately dump them and leave.
Do they just pop up out of the ground? I assume they have to be born from something. But like a reptile they are just kind of born and abandoned.
"YOU THOUSAND-YEAR OLD SHORT STACK" if me and my sisters somehow live that long, I am soo using that.😂
Imagine grim abridged goblin slayer and grim abridged frieren in a situation if elf ranger and frieren switched places
Pay good money for that short.
I genuinely don't know what could survive a team with Goblin Slayer and Frieren on it
These combo recap/abridged vids are a lot better than I'd thought they'd be.
I really hope you guys keep at it.
“I just wanna be home. It’s where my stuff’s at”- most relatable character ever probably
4:38 Frieren is probably at *least* a 1000 years his senior still and Himmel snaps at her like she's a teenager; can't help but laugh at the line delivery.
10:07 I mean, six years for Frieren IS basically a walk to the corner store. It's fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Eisen was most relatable. Felt that man's every line in my soul.
"What how?"
"He died!!!!"
That caught me off guard and I hurt a rib laughing
Me too that delivery was so funny
And she was like ...fair.
@@ar_greyheart_4She realized she walked into that one xD
Just...I have to pause this and just appreciate the talent on display here. The hard work it implies. You all. Are so f****** talented. All of you. Probably even the person who brings the bagels. I imagine you all? Right? Aren't hoity toity about bagels but like, you *know* the good place, right? Anyway. So talented. I'm rewatching GS, again, and now this, just. Huge respect to the hard work this represents. You all are incredible, and I wish all of you and your families nothing but joy. Incredible folks. Just stunning.
"Really Frieren? In front of my DEAD parents?"
"Oh don't worry, they can't hear me."
Oof
I love this videos, this is the perfect compromise between fun abridge series and rasonable production time.
"I'm 16"
"You're WHAT?!"
Lol, Frieren probably remembers Himmel's death "like it was just yesterday" when it was literally before Fern was born and Frieren is like "this... CHILD is more developed than I am!"
Fern: "He didn't have me... he took me."
Frieren: "That's even worse..."
"But that does sound like domething he'd do..."
"I just wanna be home...it's where my stuffs at" 😂
"I always do demons dirty, in front of their moms if I can" 😂
17:49 “Wait, how did you get up there?” Bro sounds so confused 😂😂😂😂
He was. Only demons were able to use flying magic before Quaal was sealed away. The animation in this episode is so amazing... Just before Fieren zoltraaks him, the camera is from Quaal's perspective and it moves slightly from side-to-side as he looks for her, before panning up.
Before that, while he is spamming multiple small attacks, Quaal sees one of Fern's small shields break; he immediately switches to blasting out the single big attacks that finally begin pressuring Fern. Then he notices Frieren is missing.
2:31 That's implying she remembered the names of their jobs.
Of course she remembers their jobs, it's drunk, dwarf and hobo.
If not the jobs, then maybe their weapons or clothes?
YIPPEEE, both for the channel coming back and for this awesome vid
YIPPEEE!!!
@@VincentBourbeau YIPE!!!!!!
"Sure, you're on death's door, but that just means you got a new neighbor!"
You know, I'm not even 20 but still… I needed that. Thanks, whoever wrote that joke.
“M’lady”
“Sup”
(DEATH RAY POINT BLANK TO THE FACE)
The execution of that line was amazing it was honestly comedy gold!😂✋👍
She was absolutely not having someone impersonate her man
I am stealing the line "I just want to be home it's where my stuffs at" 😂
"I just want to be home, that's where my stuff's at." is the most relatable line I've ever heard.
"Your not father-dad are you" 🤣
23:03 Flammes voice acting here is fucking devious like holy shit
I agree Frieren I also ship it
She says it so cutely!
That Blockbuster reference. Hit me in the nostalgia. They went the way of the Immortals in Highlander and now, THERE IS ONLY ONE!
Grimmjack sounding like goblin slayer under name calling is the unhinged commentary I needed.
This is like a really interesting combinations between the typical "X is a nutshell" narration and a full on abridged series, but condensed down further into just a collection of scenes connected by the narration.... And I love it. Seriously.
Its a shame that doing abridged series is a massive pain with copyright issues because a Frieren abridged series with this level of quality and writing would be hysterical.
I was introduced to the show through this video and I'm now a very big fan of the show but this is absolutely my preferred version. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate and love what you're doing. This is absolutely fantastic and I would love to get a full series Abridged of this.
To be honest, this abridged is more fun than the original show itself.🤣🤣🤣
i already miss my Frieren Friday.
21:31 Alucard: And I thought *my* walks were enthusiastic.
I love how when the other elves are introduced and you realize, no Frieren isn’t “like that” because she’s an elf. She definitely has the ‘tism. It’s like seeing other TimeLords in Doctor Who and realizing, “yep, he’s got the space autism”
It’s a bit of fresh air from the alien/robot/otherwise non-human character’s autism-like traits being because they are not human (or even worse, defying those traits to show some sort of “human connection”).
"I ship it"
You and everyone, Frieren, you and everyone.
"cuz he's dead, Frieren"
People are sad at funerals
People are sad he can't touch them anymore
0:36 I jumped because I had max volume on my headphones
I just watched the show, and I was so happy to stumble on this video. This was amazing! Please, give us more!
25:58 Fern knows it and sees Stark's ax every day
She already had a size comparison though. Which is weird as that does not seem like a topic Frieren would mentor her in.
@@besNaitheiter must've been packin
Flamme having the voice and personality of Abridged Asuna certainly does explain how her apprentices turned out lol
I know he tried to make Frieren into an asshole but she's more clueless than an ass. Also she absolutely is in love with Himmel, it's just that she has no idea what love is. And didn't mention how Fern wanted to self delete.
Damn.
Yeah, her entire journey is basically her wanting to rectify her regret of not realizing that she loved himmel and only realized it when he's dead.
Qual: "Do you know how much I hate birds now?!"
Shale: *Nods sympathetically*
LOL my favorite Blockbuster thing is when my best friend Suzy took her Aunt with her to get carded for the first time and be the designated driver. When they got to the club Suzy wasn't carded but her Aunt was. So, when the Aunt went to get out her ID an old Blockbuster membership card fell out. The Bouncer went "You know what? Never mind."
Suzy still gets depressed over that, but I will never not think it's funny. xD
This was awesome! Also the VA for Frieren reminds me of Daria. Great job because now I can't unsee it!
No dragonballs in this universe?
I'm pretty sure 50% of the dragons should have balls...
:)
"of course he never figured out immortality he diiiiiiieeeed"
this needs a part 2, i need to hear grimmjack's take on the aura fight.
I need to see Fern catwalking Lugner's attacks like they're stage lights
F'ing Fable 3. You've still got a few months before the evil-AND IT'S HERE NOW!
whoever wrote that priest joke at Himmel's funeral deserves a raise. God bless.
Imagine living so long that a decade feels like a short trip but you still have to eat and sleep every day. It's like if you fell asleep for two seconds every ten seconds and had to eat two or three meals in between
It's not really quite like that.. humans (and presumably elves) basically have a different perception for short time scales (minutes, hours, a day or two) vs long time scales (remembering what happened last month, or last year).
The longer time scales can change with life experience (a year feels like an eternity when you're a kid, but when you're older you can be shocked that something you think of as just a couple of months ago was actually 5 or 10 years back, or something from "a few years ago" was actually 30 or 40 years in the past ("I feel old now")).
For Frieren, the day-to-day things probably feel exactly the same as they do to us, but when you go further back than last week or so, it's easy to get confused between things that happened last month, or 10 years, or maybe even 100 years ago, because that's all just such a small part of your total life experience that there isn't that much of a difference, really...
Fern awakened her inner pervert with that see through spell
I just stumbled upon this channel because of a short from this video, and this is actually pretty cool. It combines aspects of a season/series recap and review/commentary with the traditional fan humor of abridged series.
"i always do demons dirty, in front of their moms if i can" god damn Frieren
YES!!! NOTHING CAN KEEP HIM DOWN!!! Was waiting so badly for this!!
