Same. I never actively try to rank anime. Even though i know it's not groundbreaking or anything, i would have always said my favorite anime is non non biyori. It's my comfort show. If asked what's the best anime i've seen, it would have been Attack on Titan. But this... even though i've only seen one season so far... it's just perfect. For what my interests and likes are, this anime is perfect.
10:04 It doesnt even take an entire episode for this show to hook you. Its incredible. One of those "I wish I could forget it and watch it over" pieces of media.
You mean, forgetting it to have the pleasure to rediscover it each time?... Sure. But, don't you think this is more one of those where the more you re-watch it with memories of it, the more you got hyped? For Frieren, i got more emotional when i watched it AGAIN. Either ways, it's definitely an anime / story you fall in love with, first watch or multiple ones. ^^
Frieren is a nice change of pace from the dark and depressing shows I tend to watch (AoT, HotD, etc.). Frieren's major theme revolves around appreciating what many perceive as insignificant and mundane. It's a beautiful and uplifting message.
OMG .. am so happy u decided to watch this *masterpiece* 🔥👌🏻 you're gonna love every moment of it 💯♥️ the *story* .. the *landscapes* , the *music* .. the *characters* .. the *feelings* .. the *dialogue* .. are all on point 👌🏻
Rewatching this anime again after learning the lore and the impact of Himmel and his teams, really makes me cry watching Himmel died, goddamn this is a masterpiece
Many of the character names are German words btw: -"Frieren" means "(somebody is) freezing" (here probably "frozen" in time for example) -"Fern" means "far away" (/ "distant") -"Himmel" means "sky/heaven" -"Heiter" means "joyful" -"Eisen" means "iron"
The best part of the show is how connected you feel to characters you only just recently met. It's all about playing into their strengths and to show the impact they had on others. Frieren openly crying at the funeral for Himmel is just a catalyst for so many to realize it's okay to be sad.. that she is experiencing true grief and regrets. No one wants to make someone cry, but to be the reason they are crying when you pass is a sign you made their life better. Himmel, for his brief appearance, was written so well and with such care that you feel he was a shining star in a dark world. Heiter as well, but his importance to the story was his father figure lessons to Fern, being the most important person in her life aside from Frieren. I would include Eisen, but he's not dead! Can't give posthumous praise to someone who is alive and well. but he is a very strong father figure for Stark and genuinely cares for Frieren's happiness. There is a very good reason why there's such a high rating difference between the second place and first place animes of all time (at least on MyAnimeList). The pacing, the beauty of craft, the adoring characters, the sympathetic titular character. I want more of it, but I am so afraid of how difficult it will be to top such amazing quality.
Exactly lol. Checks every single box is a great way to put it. That's how it is for me as well. Just got done saying pretty much that on another comment.
Frieren is close to perfection in my eyes. Animation, backdrops, colour palette, score, pacing, the emotions it evokes, the fact that the animators take the time on idiosyncrasies like Frieren left leg encountering some resistance on the bush while approaching Fern in this episode. Already know Devi's gonna be a mess throughout😅
I hope you enjoy this anime, it is great! The first episode of this anime was originally planned to be released as a 90 minute movie but was instead changed into 4 episodes released on the same day. To get the full sense of the anime you should watch the first 4 episodes before deciding if you want to continue. That being said I believe you will like it enough to continue the series.
You are not ready for how good this show is. Been watching nine since 97 and this is easily in my top 10. Yes the emotional parts are peak asf but they also do fights/action to a level you simply have never seen when they happen. Buckle up kiddos …..your minds are about to be blown . Let it cook You need to react to this show EVERY DAY! I’m not even joking, this needs to be your MAIN focus
Welcome to this incredible journey guys! Hopefully you will enjoy this jewel as much as all the people that already saw it before. Frieren shares her voice actress with Anya Forger from Spy X Family (Atsumi Tanezaki) and Himmel is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto (Katsuki Bakugo on My hero Academia).
He appeared for less than 10 minutes. Gave one of the most honest and heartwarming speech and gains the love of everyone. Dies. Himmel. The hero. The CHAD
This is the perfect way to immediately put the viewer into Frieren's shoes. A lot of your comments toward the end were "I wish I got to know him a little better before he died." Exactly what Frieren is feeling in that moment
It's great that you decided to watch this masterpiece. Get your tissues ready. One of the questions that this anime brought up is that I've been an RPG player for over 30 years. I've played with several species and professions. I've read Tolkien, among other works. But I'd never stopped to think about what it must be like for elves to live the life of a human, how painful it must be to know, love, and lose so many times. Highlander touches on this subject, but very quickly.
They give you enough about the party of heroes to get you to know them enough so when they skip time it's all you need to empathize with them and feel the loss. We covered 80 years in this episode. So good.
It took me a couple watches to fully appreciate the first episode. You almost feel robbed by the time skip, and it bothered me at first, but in a sense, you and Frieren were both robbed of getting to know him better, and you can really empathize with her.
Yes, a dangerous anime, even rewatching it. Scenes just become harder to watch the more you know. And a lot of us miss the subtle visual storytelling the first time; Like how only Himmel was waving at the cheering crowds. It's not just foreshadowing, it's also so... Himmel. Glad you're watching this masterpiece.
Names of characters and locations are taken from German language. In some cases the translation and the meaning to/in English is very interesting. Frieren = to feel/be cold (her not liking cold temperatures but also in her emotions - in battle) Himmel = sky / but also heaven Heiter = cheerful Eisen = iron Fern = far / distant (also absent)
Omg now we get this anime from you guys! Gonna be waiting every episode for a reaction It will be a good ride cause this is probably my favorite recent anime
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Sousou no Frieren! I hope you really enjoy this anime series! A lot of modern Japanese fantasy is tailored after the Lord of the Rings. Frieren is very Tokeinesque, so Elves are nearly immortal, Dwarves live a few hundred years and humans 70-90 years. Just a few things if no one else has mentioned it; this anime is really about paying attention to little details, as small things make emotional impacts later in series. For instance, the reason why Frieren buys a hair clip in Episode 3 that had a butterfly design was because in Episode 2 the first time Fern showed Heiter her magic, she made an illusion of glowing butterflies. You DO learn why Frieren has a habit of collecting spells, and it all starts with her master, who is revealed in Episode 4 and you learn way more about her in the penultimate mid-season episode 10. There is speculation that since Priests are the only ones who can effectively use holy magic (dispelling and resisting curses, casting holy affinity offensive magic, blessings and healing) that they are also granted longer lives than normal. Some people even say that Heiter passed away when he was over 100. Every name in Frieren is a German word and they have meaning. There is a school of thought that this whole story is Frieren's reminiscence, since people are named for concepts that encapsulates a memory/impression, rather than normal German names. Frieren - Freezing - it's speculated that Frieren's emotional state was frozen by tragedy revealed in Episode 10, and that her master was instrumental in thawing her, culminating in meeting with her friends. Another interpretation is that Frieren's relational state was frozen, an her time with Fern will continue the change in her that her time with Himmel did. Himmel - Sky or Heaven - pay attention to the times they show the Sky, as it almost always refers to Himmel or the memory of him Heiter - Jolly - Heiter is shown in future flashbacks as deflecting difficult emotional stress with humour or self-deprecation. Eisen - Iron - a great name for one of the strongest warriors in history Fern - Remote or distant Stark - Strong Flamme - Flame - The founder of Human Magic, Frieren's human Master. Potentially named for the Promethean legend, the giant who taught the gift of fire to humans (technology & civilization) in Greek mythology, but also for setting Frieren on the path to thawing her heart. Qual - Torment Aura - Aura Lügner - Liar Linie - Line, as in production, watch the way she summons things Draht - Wire Graf Garnat - Count Garnet - the stone that is part of the family amulet is a red garnet. Kraft - Power, Strength Sein - Being or Existence Kanne - Container or pot Lawine - Avalanche Wirbel - Whirl or Vortex Übel - Evil or Villain Denken - Thinking Land - Country Richter - a reference to the founder of hte Richter Scale, the measure of earthquake intensity Laufen - Runner Ehre - Honor or Glory Scharf - Sharp Sense - Scythe Genau - Exactly or Precisely Falsch - Wrong or Mistaken Lernen - Learn Edel - Noble Blei - Lead the metal Dünste - Steamy or hazy Ton - Sound or Tone Länge - Length of time or duration Methode - Method Serie - Series, as in items in a group (a book series, for example) - obvious, given her encyclopedic memory and her offer of "privilege." Notice that the way time is marked in the anime is based on Himmel's death (such as "20 years after the Death of Himmel the Hero.") It's not certain if this is universal or how Frieren marks her time. Frieren recently toppled FullMetal Alchemist from the top spot on MyAnimeList (MAL), where it had sat for more than a decade. Both are Shonen manga that start with loss. Both are praised for excellent characterization, complex and nuanced issues, delicate handling of plot, emotional intensity and touching sentimentalism. Lastly, the series is named "Sousou no Frieren." While this has often been translated as "Frieren The Slayer" that is INCORRECT. "Sousou no" is the act of "sending off" as in a funeral. So while the manga title may be translated as "Frieren, the Final Farewell to the Dead" since that's more literary, the more precise translation is "Frieren the Undertaker." This has more than one meaning, but the two most common interpretations is that we learn that Elves in Frieren are essentially immortal, so Frieren will eventually "send off" all her non-elven friends. The second meaning is to "see someone off" is also a euphemism for killing and is Frieren is first identified by a demon as the titular character in Episode 8.
Sousou no Frieren is anime of the decade. To me it outclasses AOT and FMAB. Great story, characters, VA work, color pallette, use of transitions, OP, ED, pacing, themes, humor, action, and the OST by Evan Call is legend. You guys are in for a helluva ride. Great reaction. Insta-sub. 😊
I cried a lot during this anime lol. And I've watched a few reactions and cried through those too 😂I'm glad you're checking this one out. Love your reactions, and this one will be great!
Thank you very much for picking this anime, i really wanted to see your reaction(s). Do you think you could do a "double episode" schedule? And... If you got emotional with first episode, well, prepare for more ^^ 💫💦
Best Anime alltime. The pinnacle of a gem of Fantasy. But yes, no 7 minutes and the tears are flowing. Small Funfact: From Lisbon to Beijing its a round trip of 304 days. This Continent is rly huge.
This another monster mangaka story tellingwise and the anime is so well adapted. The time discussion is on point. It just keeps feel more and more squashed the older you get. And this series is all about that vibe. Good luck. (Did you really bust out a hardboiled? Senor Pink says hello)😂
This is just my personal interpretation, but I feel that the nature of the premise and its execution (starting at the end of a full journey and giving the audience nostalgic tidbits that the story hasn't earned) helps the viewers somewhat experience what a long lived being like Frieren experiences. Audiences are sensitive to when a medium is trying to force them to cry, and if it's unearned or executed poorly, it tends to backfire. Frieren exploits this deliberately to invoke that dissonance between familiarity and unfamiliarity. You feel like something's missing because something is missing. And then the audience gets to experience finding what's missing alongside Frieren in her ongoing journey.
You started FRIEREN??? LESGOOOO!!! ❤❤❤ 27:15 "What happens if you get to know them and then this happens" is what I and all watchers are experiencing now! Please do come back to episode 1 for a rewatch after completing the series! Also everyone, PLEASE do not name drop anything, even episode numbers to look out for. It might ruin the experience!
at first i didn´t want to watch this show because i´m easily disappointed if my expectations got hyped up too much beforehand but this show won me over pretty easily and kept the quality up for the entire season. this will be a wonderful watch.
"Good thing they didn't build up on him or that would've been dangerous." Himmel has what me and my friends call "The Eternal Rizz". He's gonna have you smitten in like 4 episodes and he ain't even alive. The flashbacks and memories of Himmel will have you falling in love with this man.

10:04 It doesnt even take an entire episode for this show to hook you. Its incredible. One of those "I wish I could forget it and watch it over" pieces of media.
This is my 7th reaction of the series! After it's over I'm gonna find someone new! I wanna watch it until I die!
You mean, forgetting it to have the pleasure to rediscover it each time?... Sure.
But, don't you think this is more one of those where the more you re-watch it with memories of it, the more you got hyped? For Frieren, i got more emotional when i watched it AGAIN.

@@mang4260 Yes! The emo in most works decreases with each rewatch. But with Frieren, and knowing the story and character, the emo actually increases.

This is an underrated way to describe the show.
Here we go, my 15th time rewatching the show
Crying in the 1st episode? That's an instant subscribe for me
15? that's a lot 😂❤️ glad to have you join!
More than 10 for me too. 😂
Great reaction! Love that you focus on the show instead of talking during the best parts like a lot of reactors seem to enjoy doing.
the show got us too choked up 😂😭
I'm glad you finally reacted to this work. All 28 episodes are brilliant masterpieces, so enjoy them!
Rewatching this anime again after learning the lore and the impact of Himmel and his teams, really makes me cry watching Himmel died, goddamn this is a masterpiece
Himmel is gonna be your favourite character ever!
He has inspired people in real life!
Let's gooooooo, i love frieren so fking much !!!! i cried so hard on the first ep lol

Finally JD Frieren!!! Can't be even happier with this!

You people are very brave to watch a Madhouse production with barely any cut in the audio. I have to recognize.

Oh, I'm so happy that you are gonna to watch Frieren, it's a life changing anime.
One of the only animes that hit harder the older you get, haha... Also one of those rare cases where the anime is way better than the source material.
Any anime event: **happens**

27:15 "What happens if you get to know them and then this happens" is what I and all watchers are experiencing now! Please do come back to episode 1 for a rewatch after completing the series!
Also everyone, PLEASE do not name drop anything, even episode numbers to look out for. It might ruin the experience!
Oh yeah…… it’s definitely gonna be
D A N G E R O U S
This anime is dangerous for people who cry easily
uh oh
Truly a fantasy anime of all time
nice reactions and insights. keep it up! subbed.
Awesome thank you!❤️🥰🥰
at first i didn´t want to watch this show because i´m easily disappointed if my expectations got hyped up too much beforehand but this show won me over pretty easily and kept the quality up for the entire season. this will be a wonderful watch.
I only remember him shed a tear once
Himmel and Bakugo share same voice actor
at last, something worth to watch on this channel😂
Hahahah what was the last show you liked
it was Jojo😂 but sometimes I checked on SpyxFamily too
you in for a fun ride !!!!
LETS GOO!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah best anime ever
"Good thing they didn't build up on him or that would've been dangerous."
Himmel has what me and my friends call "The Eternal Rizz".
He's gonna have you smitten in like 4 episodes and he ain't even alive. The flashbacks and memories of Himmel will have you falling in love with this man.
