Frieren… I wish I had enjoyed this anime as much as other people have, unfortunately I found it extremely boring and dull, especially for an anime that has a rating of 9.3/10. Most of the characters don’t really stand out since they are very uninteresting, besides from Himmel and Heiter (who didn’t get much screen time) and Stark.

The first class mage exam arc seemed like a change of air. However, although many new characters were introduced, I found it disappointing that they were written very poorly and had similar personalities; most of them were arrogant and underestimated their opponents, while many others used cunning techniques ... to reach their objective, which seemed very predictable and unoriginal. (Although some of them did have good character development in the last couple of episodes.)

One of the main topics of the anime is the feeling of regret, going as far as embarking on a journey to heaven so she could possibly meet Himmel again. I do agree that the main character has some character development throughout the anime, but the way she portrays her feelings of regret could have been expressed less subtly. I can think of many anime that do a better job at portraying regret and how they dealt with it.

I do want to point out that I liked the ending though and I understand the themes they were trying to convey. I just wish they had done it a different way.

I can see the reason why this anime has been acclaimed, but I find it difficult to understand how it is the highest rated anime and why so many people consider it a masterpiece. I usually rate most of the anime I’ve watched positively even if it’s not my cup of tea, that’s the reason why I’m rating it a 5/10. I would recommend you guys watch the first couple of episodes and if you find them boring I’ll suggest dropping it, because it doesn’t change much from then on.

I had high expectations for this anime. I expected better humor than the first season and faster pacing. However, most of this season was boring and had slow pacing, while 90% of the humor was predictable jokes about Darkness being a masochist or Aqua being dumb, which got so repetitive and cringe that I just had to skip the parts.

Nothing important happened in these 10 episodes besides the dungeon episode and the hot springs, the rest doesn't contribute much to the main plot and is quite boring. Hopefully, the next season has better humor and is more entertaining since I believe this anime has ... wasted potential.

When I first stumbled upon this movie, I got extremely fascinated, although my excitement didn't last long.

Story: 5
I couldn't comprehend what the main plot was, besides the fact that the mayonnaise was too liquid.

Art: 8

Whoever drew these characters deserves a major reward; it is truly a work of art, although there is no color besides from the mayonnaise bottle and cap.

Sound: 2
...
I was not able to understand what the characters were saying, since they are not speaking Japanese or English and there are no subtitles. Furthermore, their voices sound chopped, as if they were recorded on a Nokia 3310 from the year 2002.

Character: 6

I do not have much to say regarding the characters; they showed major character development, but their personality seems kinda dull.

Enjoyment: 7

This movie entertained me for 2 minutes and 24 seconds, wish it was longer.

Overall: 6

The movie was short, but enjoyable. I expect many improvement for the sequel.
