Back when Frieren first met Fern, she commented on the how hard it was to perceive Ferns mana, meaning that one of the things that Heiter had been teaching Fern was to suppress her mana. In episode 11 we found out that is something Heiter most likely picked up on from Frieren.
Yup. You can also see in episode 2 during the "seasons passing" montage Frieren drawing a circle around Fern into the sand. It's to show her how big her mana release should be.
One thing I love about this anime is that it doesn't glorify fighting/war. Like yeah the battles are awesome but that respect for life still comes to the forefront.
The scene of the big hamburger steaks is one of my favorites, it's feels so intimate with the characters and hits so hard. One thing this anime does really well is give you and the characters time to process their emotions, it's not just "stark you have to run" and he starts running or cut to black, you can see and feel how hard of a decision that was for him and his brother, and how present Stark is overcome by feelings and just says "yeah" (amazing delivery by the Voice Actor btw) Also is really interesting how Frieren handles flashbacks, first they showed that Himmel's sword was a fake in the flashback, so in the present you think Himmel took the real sword but then the audience and the characters learn he couldn't do it. They did something similar when revealing Stark with the question "Is Stark a great warrior?" this back and forth makes the story much more engaging
Cool little detail that people usually don't pick up in this falling asleep in the blizzard scene that Frieren probably only got her dream (that focused on flower fields around them) because Fern was carrying her. She commented on Fern smelling nice and buried her face back into her hair which suggests that Fern smells like flowers since it triggered that memory/dream for Frieren.
It's a real pleasure to watch these with you, man. The way you pick up on the storytelling, and allow yourself to be effected by it is really refreshing. This vibe and openness is why I enjoy reactors so much-thanks for taking us on the journey with you! I love how we get to know Stark, how his character grows (I wanted him to have a go at the sword too!). The way they world build with the mentions of religion, the steady pace... There's something every single episode that leaves me feeling like I had a good meal 😌✨ Some more of my faves coming up! Looking forward to watching them with you, too!
Stark's brother had such a small but impactful role. Despite his short screen time he immediately became one of my favorite siblings I've seen in anime.
Kraft called Frieren young. he must be at least a couple millennia older than her also, heiter noticing that Frieren is suppressing her mana without her telling him is an amazing feat that goes mostly unnoticed. its the little details that subtly show how absurdly strong each member of the party of heroes were.
There are only two others we know of that’s revealed later in the show. Both of which are very powerful. Even if it took him a bit to realize it’s still an impressive feat.
i always shed a tear when i hear Kraft say that everyone who remembered of his righteous triumphs are dead. It is frightening how alone must he be, compared to even Frieren. In the later episodes we see the statue of him and nobody really knows who he is, it's truly crazy. Also as an orphan myself, it burns when Heiter says he's an orphan. I just want to give him a hug
Really love your reactions and appreciation for a lot of the little things in this series. I'm not a huge fan of anime even though I've seen quite a bit for a Gen Xer. Frieren is the first series to have such an impact on my life since Rurouni Kenshin and Great Teacher Onizuka for the great story-telling and life lessons. Looking forward to keeping up with your journey. The life of a reaction youtuber must be hard, I wouldn't be able to control the urge to just keep watching episodes until my consciousness failed me.
Stark always feels guilty because he ran. Its because he can remember the fact that his brother tell him to run. Its like traumatic experience so the half of that was erased. Thats the whole reason why he never feels confident & always underastimate himself. Ep. 12 is one of my fav episodes. (Ep. 6, Ep. 9, Ep. 10, Ep. 12, Ep. 14, Ep. 26, Ep. 27 & Ep. 28)
Fern is obviously similar to Frieren. Frieren started teaching her at a young age, Frieren at this point spend more time with Fern than her parents or Heiter. Obviously not because they did not want to, not blaming them here. But Fern basically has barely any social interaction or upbringing with other humans. Other orphans in shelters get socialised through interaction with one another in the orphanages by the church, but Heiter raised her alone until Frieren came.
Since you mentioned Mushoku Tensei: as a fellow light novel reader, I highly recommend checking it out! It's a groundbreaking series that paved the way for many common Isekai tropes we see today. Despite some initial tough themes, it's worth pushing through for the incredible character growth and storytelling. It's got one of the best world-building, characters, and plots in anime (in my opinion). Every character is deeply developed, not just a plot device. The world is vast, which might feel overwhelming, but the anime navigates it beautifully, making it easy to follow and understand. Easily one of my all-time favorites!
Mushoku Tensei is a great anime, and peak isekai. It's called out as the greatest isekai sometimes, because his life before continues to matter. However, it's hard to recommend as something to react to. Apart from the rampant haters, there are a lot of things you'll just need to edit out for being inappropriate.
hard disagree, both parts of first season are extremely interesting and are more than just power-fantasy isekai. Unfortunately second season slows down so much it's reminiscent of The promised neverland. All characters grind to a halt and the animation does as well. Plus it's hard to enjoy a story when the entire conflict of the arc is about ED
@@jasonj3867 The second season is indeed slow and lacking in action, and I could have done without so much focus on the Little Rudeus arc, but I'm still enjoying the characters and progression.
A monk and a priest are both religious, in monks in real life don't perform public activities and concentrate in their religion unlike a priest who do more stuff to open public. In video games a monk is a priest who almost all times knows fighting styles and a priest concentrates only in holy magic/habilities.
@@Kaylakaze you mean that it filters the kind of people you don't want in your life? Like... you're saying that people that are uncomfortable or mad at pedophilia and groping are somehow in the wrong?Lel
Yeah it is hard to recommend because it is a story trying to make you sympathise with a kid diddler and then you are forced to watch him live out his erotic fantasies and be rewarded a power fantasy despite being a piece of shit with no redeeming qualities in his previous life. Isekai is dog shit because at the end of the day it is a shitty power fantasy and everything will revolve around that.
Those who get past the filter of Mushoku Tensei are either people who have had their brain rotted by anime cliches or people who are alike the protagonist
I think you missed the fact that the little kid who gave Himmel the fake sword was Heiter Also. Mushoku tensei is… It’s the best and the worst of isekai. The main character is a literal actual pdf-file if you catch my drift
I wonder why no one ever questions that the legendary weapon is always a sword, why not a pole arm or hatchet or a mages cepter. What if the appearance of the word is a trick to misguide people.
mushoku tensei does story telling right. every character is INTERESTING (side character or not) they all exist for a reason. great show and a story of growth, overcoming both personal and non personal issues and changing one self. grabbing second chances and trying to overcome your problems.
Watch mushoku for sure, it is infamous because of some questionable scenes but don't let those get you away from watching a masterpiece of storytelling.
Since you asked, I would put Mushoku tensei as comparable to Frieren. I consider them as part of the top tier of modern fantasy anime (Specially if action is not what you are looking for but do appreciate it when it happens). Frieren, Mushoku Tensei, Spice and Wolf, ReZero and I would put Made in Abyss there but is kinda different (And we won't be seeing a season 3 for that for a long time). Which one you'll prefer will vary greatly but in my case I would put Mushoku and Spice and wolf above just because they are finished works (Light novel). If Frieren ever ends I would put as a tie with Mushoku.
Mushoku goes way too hard on horniness and child P. There are also many episodes where the whole plot is just characters being horny and nothing happens to progress the story. It has some good episodes here and there but in general the cringe is too much for me.
oh no :( also lying. not progressing the story? every single thing that happens it's there to either progress a character within the story or the story itself.

Fern when Stark offers to carry Frieren: No one touches my elf
The scene of the big hamburger steaks is one of my favorites, it's feels so intimate with the characters and hits so hard.

Love your reactions bruh. It's pure and not fake. Your Channel is very underrated
Really appreciate that bro! Happy you’re enjoying the vids

really dig your reactions to this show, man
keep it up 💯
looking forward to the next one
Appreciate the comment! Happy you’re enjoying them bro!

also, heiter noticing that Frieren is suppressing her mana without her telling him is an amazing feat that goes mostly unnoticed. its the little details that subtly show how absurdly strong each member of the party of heroes were.
makes me wonder if heiter suspected or knew the minute he saw her the first time.
There are only two others we know of that’s revealed later in the show. Both of which are very powerful. Even if it took him a bit to realize it’s still an impressive feat.
Your reactions to this show are so wholesome. You're a big softy that would fit in perfectly with Frieren's crew.
i always shed a tear when i hear Kraft say that everyone who remembered of his righteous triumphs are dead. It is frightening how alone must he be, compared to even Frieren. In the later episodes we see the statue of him and nobody really knows who he is, it's truly crazy.

Really appreciate the comment! I want to keep watching soo bad but ik I should probably edit lol
MAN HOW DID YOU PREDICT THE NOTE WAS RELATED TO EISEN LOL
Every time you leave me in shock hahaha
i love how in episode 11 is to show belief in religion in a positive direction
Stark always feels guilty because he ran. Its because he can remember the fact that his brother tell him to run. Its like traumatic experience so the half of that was erased. Thats the whole reason why he never feels confident & always underastimate himself.
Ep. 12 is one of my fav episodes. (Ep. 6, Ep. 9, Ep. 10, Ep. 12, Ep. 14, Ep. 26, Ep. 27 & Ep. 28)
Love these reactions
I am so excited for you to get into the next arch
How do you include the song part in the video? Most people just mute it lol.
I cut it so there aren’t any clips longer than 6 seconds. The songs beautiful so I had to try to keep it in
Still, really appreciate that you try your best to keep the song in the video.

What if in the future starks and ferns kid pulls the sword??

Btw here monk means an actual martial artist monk like in dnd and not like a cleric.
Mushoku Tensei is good, but hard to recommend since there are quirks/elements especially toward the beginning that can hard filter people off of it.
Yeah, but only shitty people: the kind you don't want in your life in the first place.
true, but if you can enioy art you will like mushoku, there is so much to like afterall.

You keep mentioning the place where Eisen and Stark stood... this is a whole different city already bro. The left that place in episode 6.
Yessir yessir yessir
Did u change the thumbnail? Lol
Had to test something🤣
Changed it back lol
I think you missed the fact that the little kid who gave Himmel the fake sword was Heiter
Also. Mushoku tensei is…
It’s the best and the worst of isekai. The main character is a literal actual pdf-file if you catch my drift
keep it up
Let's go!
I wonder why no one ever questions that the legendary weapon is always a sword, why not a pole arm or hatchet or a mages cepter.
What if the appearance of the word is a trick to misguide people.
Mushoku tensei is comparable, being comparable to eachother is high praise to each of these series tbh
Starks brother waa awesome
Mushoku tensei is one of the goats!
No
Definitely is, especially within the isekai genre.
Gross
ew

Also Mushoku Tensei is one you should definitely try I think you’ll love it
Mushoku tensei is great too
0:25 mushoku tensei? another peak fiction best isekai anime currently IMO
I love the dub version of Frieren I feel it fits her tbh
Oh god not Mushoku Tensei💀 weird bloody show and I can never understand how people enjoy it
Mushoku goes way too hard on horniness and child P. There are also many episodes where the whole plot is just characters being horny and nothing happens to progress the story. It has some good episodes here and there but in general the cringe is too much for me.
oh no :(
also lying. not progressing the story? every single thing that happens it's there to either progress a character within the story or the story itself.
@@reignmans Expain to me how locking up two animal girls in your basement and threatening to S assault them is progressing the story.
And with all that it's still the best isekai ever.
The bar for best isekai is on the floor and mushoku still trips over it
Mushoku Tensei is garbage of the highest tier. You'll be cursed, stay away.
