| I'm having a hard time not just comparing this to Violet Evergarden, which really isn't doing the series any favors. I'm not saying it's poorly written, it just (as of yet) hasn't begun to approach Violet Evergarden. It's not that it isn't beautiful, but VE was KyoAni at their best. And ultimately, the generic fantasy world is one that I find grating. Not because I don't like fantasy, but because I love it. The best of fantasy requires great worldbuilding, and the bland archetypal idea of a fantasy world that gets painted over most fantasy/isekai spits in the face of the stories that do it well. And I don't see a reason to think that this world is anything more than that. While I do find it a bit slowly paced, that's not my problem with the show. But it has yet to grab me the way it seems to have for so many others. I do hope it picks up soon, because I feel guilty wondering why I'm not just rewatching Violet Evergarden instead with each episode. (Obviously, they're not one-to-one, with VE's world being a lot less fantastical and overall having slightly different character dynamics and tone, but the things that are so far unique to Frieren aren't yet enough) |

"It's only a ten-year adventure."
Now there is a main goal for this trip.
Very good chapter.
These 4 chapters were too good.
(Chapters 06 to 08 of the manga adapted.)

| @Tamer2002 Absolutely beautiful production, captured across these images. The story really portrays the fantasy setting so well through both the visual animations and soundtrack. The characters, especially Frieren are presented in a way that makes us super drawn to their narrative. I'm glad to see that Eisen is still around and the two crossing paths again. Looking forward to watching Frieren and Fern continue to develop along their journey. |
| Man, this show really is the king of montages, isn't it? |
| The moment she opened her old master's home... beautiful. This show just continues to deliver. Eisen is also really cool, I love how he acts like he's too old for anything but then just casually lifts a huge rock and runs on water xD |
| Great episode. First we see Fern say Flamme's writings are fake, then we learn she was her Master lmao. Surely she would've known where she kept her writings since the flashback showed they were there together? Anyway, at least now the travelling duo have a purpose with their time! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Flamme seems a really interesting char. I hope we will learn and see more from her in the future! |
 |
| Another great episode! So we finally see that the orange-haired woman from the opening is actually Frieren's teacher Flamme! I wasn't expecting that revelation! Also, Eisen appears once again, and he's actually still alive, and isn't dying any time soon! It makes sense since he's a dwarf after all. I like how Flamme, Heiter and Eisen all knew that Frieren was going to regret not trying to get to know humans more, and in a way the 3 of them all planned this so that Frieren could speak to Himmel once again. I was shocked to know it was going to be a 10 year journey though! That means Fern will be a full grown woman by the time the journey ends! But it was nice to see Frieren smile when she thought about the journey to come, because it does seem like she's going to revisit the old journey she did, while she will also be able to change what she regrets about the last journey she did. I'm really excited for this new journey, and I suppose this is going to be the main focus of the story from now on! Really curious to see Frieren and Fern's relationship from now on. It was nice to see Eisen reassuring Fern that Frieren was a good master. Also, are we getting to know the boy that I suppose is also joining the party, due to the opening, in the next episode? It seems like I heard a new voice actor with the line of something about warriors, and he seems to be one, so I'm interested to see that! I genuinely feel like we are algo doing this journey with Fern and Frieren, and that's such a good feeling honestly! |
| That was unbelievably BORING I'm beginning to regret watching this in sub. There's tons of dialogue, and nothing interesting happened at all. It's trying to get sentimental and get me to care about stereotype characters that had barely any unique appeal to start with. |
| 1) that sure was annoying , give me back my 4 episodes worth of time . 2) this belongs somewhere around top 1000 - 10,000 and i.e me being generous . aside from the animation , nothing here is worth watching . 3) would have been watchable if they started with the route of killing the demon king & gave final 1-2 episodes to her conclusion which is now the whole anime . 4) i usually drop series with 24 or more episodes at 6 , sometimes at 5 but in cases like this 4 is more than enough .  Sayonara Sousou! |
| I can't understand how it took so long to clean the beach. I don't know magic but I think I could clean it faster. And if they can fly, why's it take 10 years to go to the north end of the continent? Even Eisen can run on water at like 100 km/hr. |
| Lie down - Try not to cry - Cry a lot This episode hit surprisingly hard. Her meeting her last living companion. Showing emotions yet at the same time being so - ruthless? - in her statements. Maybe the fact her student has to give 10 years away, so she can speak to Himmel? I don't know but I really need to digest this one properly. |
 |
| Frieren keeps moving forward with Fern, after witnessing a sunset and helping a small town with some shipwreck troubles. They also meet up with the dwarf guy and now have a new objective: to talk to Himmel |
 |
| This show is boring so far, I don't get the rating. I hope it gets better. I guess this was written for a female audience or something. |
