Because they don't feel like it.

I honestly refuse to buy the “suicidally low sex drive” thing. Simple attrition would have wiped them out very quickly if they were too asexual to get laid. No species evolves like that.

have you considered that they don't care

>>279702826
Pandas should have gon extinct centuries ago, they only reason they exist is because the chinese are autisticly obsessed with them.

>>279701767
Suicidally low sex drive is a thing that has driven species extinct and there are endangered species right now that are endangered because of it. They still have numbers because they can live for thousands of years and procreating twice in like a 4000 year (or more) timespan to create more beings that live for thousands of years is enough to keep them from dying off completely. If they weren't being genocided, they'd still probably be the most dominant race in Frieren's world in fact.

>>279701767
Indeed

>>279704749
this is partly correct, chinks used to eat them

>>279701727 (OP)
They probably had arranged marriages, fertility rituals and other social pressures before their villages got wiped out and they aren't equipped for procreating without those structures.
Frieren and Kraft were in close proximity for months and neither felt it was pertinent to discuss the survival of their race. Not even a "in a thousand years if we're both still single we should get married" kind of thing.

God I wish 1000-year-old autistic elf mages were real

>>279701767
Yeah it's another contrivance.
>>279702629
A race of immortal mages and warriors that can't maintain a settlement larger than a village deserves to be wiped out if we're being serious. Another reason to like Demons over Elves; actual survival instincts.

Why do you guys keep getting stuck on the fact that they don't care if they go extinct?

Elves having low sex drive is fine. What's contrived is not a single elf giving a shit about the future of their race. Demons care more about the future of their kind than elves do, which is absurd.

Human races going extinct is a self-solving problem. Each country still has highly reproductive communities (e.g., the Amish in the US, Haredi in Israel). The atheists will die out and religion will prevail.

elves are based and don't believe in premarital sex

Why do we assume elves need sex to reproduce?
Aren't elves beings of magic? Wouldn't they need just magic to reproduce? Do they even give birth? Maybe just a ritual to create a "cocoon" with young elf child, that grows as it is imbued by the magic. The child then gains attributes of those that gave it it's magic.
That means that single elf can have a child on their own. So can two elves, irrespective of gender. Or whole village can "grow" an elf child.

>>279701727 (OP)
If their number is low enough where the inbreeding would make a rebound impossible then that would explain it.

Maybe they aren't reproducing because at this point it is simply hopeless.

>>279710627
Maybe elves can even grow sponaneously. In area with dense magic, an elf cocoon spawns on it's own and then grows by absorbing ambient magic.

>>279710659

Long lived species not having many offspring is a thing in real life for a reason.
The obvious weakness is what happend in Frieren: A sudden massive population collapse like through genocide is something the elves simply cannot recover from with their mix of low numbers and low sex drive.

How the fuck are so many people replying to this without having read the series.
It's explicitly stated that with the population scattered, they don't have the opportunities for interaction they used to. Because they lived for so long they would take tens to hundreds of years just getting to know each other, which is the same reason Frieren was so upset (belatedly) by Himmel's death: "Oh time for these guys moves so fast".

In a world where everything is easy, people will run from anything that's even remotely hard, like having kids. And that goes for women especially.
The fertility crisis will not be solved in the modern world until artificial wombs and robot nannies are everywhere to make having children as easy as everything else in modern life.
Either that or just remove any decision making from women, but there's even less chances that will happen

>Aren't elves beings of magic?
No? They have more mana and affinity for magic than humans and dwarves according to the databook, but that's it. They're not like demons. Also, I'd wager demons still fuck to reproduce even though that's one we don't know for sure.

>>279713581

It DID wipe them out. Like, that's literally one of the main plot points, the demons wiped them out once they appeared. This is a fantasy universe, it's not millions of years old, new species popped into existence within the lifetimes of some of the elves. They simply didn't have any predators so they turned into Dodo. Almost no libido is not completely no libido, if you live for eternity you're gonna get laid a couple times just out of curiosity. And it's enough to keep the species going - until it's not because a predator appeared.

The only living male elf we know about is a monk and presumably celibate. They probably can't reproduce with humans or dwarves. As for why they didn't when there were more males around, they were too busy being wiped out due to the Demon King's "kill all the elves" order.

>>279721871
No it's not. Tolkien elves fuck.

>>279722236
Frieren elves do too, just not often, or only after long courtship periods. Frieren probably wasn't around her own kind long enough to even witness a full courtship before most of them were killed off.

Take Frieren and Himmel for example. With them it may well have been the elf equivalent of love at first sight given how much Frieren has dedicated to him, but it still took her 80 years to even start to see Himmel in a romantic life or realize he was in love with her. Before that it simply didn't seem to register.

It may well be typical elf courtship takes centuries before they have children.

Not quite. Elves have combated demons for ages, what changed was the Demon King uniting and organizing demons to a degree that had never happened before. That was something the elves simply couldn't handle (and neither could humans, given two thirds of them had been killed off by the time the Demon King was killed).

How are you quantifying this? We don't know nearly enough to say elves did not procreate enough to survive under natural conditions. The reason there are so few is deliberate genocide.

>>279725845
>There used to be a lot of them but never bothered learning how to seriously defend themselves from demons.

It's more that just like humans and dwarves, the vast majority of them did not have the strength to defend themselves against organized demon forces. Elves were rarer to begin with, so they suffered even more, but they were not any less capable on average of defending themselves than the other human species.

There's an anon who posted a deep dive on elf reproductive characteristics where he likened them to deer vs humans. Essentially they have 3-4 days of horny, no period, no mess. It's like multiple paragraphs long, someone posted it in a previous thread when this question was brought up

>>279722619

>>279701767
I mean, you live for tens of thousands of years, and you only need to have sex once to keep your species alive. It makes sense.

>>279701727 (OP)
It literally doesn't make sense that a humanoid being doesn't have sex drive.
Why do you have boobs and pussy then?
And no, asexuals are a minority, it doesn't count as an argument because Frieren makes clear that this is the norm for elves

>>279706405
You know lesbians can actually breed. Falin will breed Marcille like no tomorrow.

>>279728808
Elf children existed (Flamme refers to Frieren's village as having had children in it) so they do have some sex drive. I'd wager Frieren just hadn't lived long enough to see much of it.

Given she doesn't even mention the genocide when she refers to elves slowly going extinct, she was probably simplifying things a lot. "Across the board we lack reproductive instincts" probably meant more "we have a very low or slow sex drive," rather than no sex drive at all.

>>279718221

they might have some elven breeding ritual they do every so many years and Frieren either isn't aware of it or doesn't see the point of it if there aren't enough elves around

You're all over thinking it
The writer just wanted to make Frieren a virgin and explicitly convey that but in a roundabout way.
It's not about world building or explaining elf population numbers (near genocide would have been enough), its just pandering to purityfags

At 100% fertility, you would need to do at least 2.1 average to continue the species. Elves would have had to somehow grow their number beyond their primordial ancestors so we can assume they would, at minimum, have sex three times.

There could also be cultural / psychological reasons for it. As mentioned above here, >>279712469

>predicted to fall below replacement rates by 2050
You are saying that we are predicted to fall below at some point in the future. What this means, implicitly, is that we are currently not below replacement rates, as a species, now.
If you dive into sub-sections of the population such as "japanese", "koreans", "europeans", then I would absolutely agree. But as a whole, by virtue of including "africans', "indians",and etc., we, as "humans", are currently not below replacement.
Be wary of extrapolation. A mere 10-20 years ago we were "predicted" to grow to 15 billion or so.

Another issue may be that the surviving elves have no particular sense of even being a society, culture or species. They've all spent more time alone or with other species than with their own. It's telling that whenever we see any living elf encounter another elf they treat it as a curiosity before returning to the lifestyle they've already been content with rather than as any opportunity to rediscover some shared cultural heritage or societal bond.

>>279731612
So, you're saying, the solution is an elf nationalism, of sorts?

>>279701727 (OP)
You could ask the same about humans.

>>279732315
I don't like this creature; her smug aura annoys me.

>>279729183
It's intentionally unclear. It's been about 1000 years since Flamme was born and grew to an age of majority to change Frieren. We don't know how much longer before that Frieren was fucking around in her village. She hasn't had any apparent signs of aging in the 1000 years of the timeline. Normal humans are noticeably different like every 5 years. So a millenia could be less than the equivalent of 5 years for an elf if we want to follow that line of logic. Though, they could age quicker until they get to the age of majority and THEN stop aging, but we just don't know.

>>279732570
should say *train Frieren, not change

>>279732570
>We don't know how much longer before that Frieren was fucking around in her village.

We don't know precisely, but we do know it was much less than a thousand years, since Frieren and Serie both note that she has spent most of her life mastering the mana training Flamme taught her. That she's substantially less than 2000 years old is supported by how she calls herself "more than a 1,000 years" old, refers to her adventure with Himmel as less than 1/100th of her life, etc. instead of going for descriptions that indicate she is much older than a 1,000.

I'd speculate she was maybe two hundred years old when she met Flamme, since she was already old enough to not regard the 50 years she spent with Flamme as all that long (though if elves are born with that perspective on time then she could have been substantially younger at that time).

Is there any art of Serie being a mother?

>>279729183
Elves ovulate once every 10 years. If the same ratio applies to pregnancy, then each gestation takes 92 years.

>>279732514
It arouses me, brother.

>>279733437
Shit, me too, but its also annoying.

>>279733437
Why did the OP make Serie look like the villain? I feel super cucked that she's not a bad guy

>>279733448
Once she gives me the
>elf-fucker spell of long life and scaling magical power that makes a human powerful enough to capture Serie's heart
I think it would be less annoying. Given about 1,000 years or so

>>279733476
Elves could never be the villain. In fact seeing her in the intro baited me into 26 episodes of waiting for her golden, smug ass. And I die happy.

>>279732315
>So, you're saying, the solution is an elf nationalism, of sorts?
But it is gone. It's like if you try to revive Carthaginian Nationalism; there is no damn Carthage anymore and the surviving descendants don't remember.

She is sort of not a good person by certain definitions. If you go by the belief of not doing anything is the same as doing something bad.

I guess what I am saying is that she isn't an activist. She sits back and watch bad things happen without helping. She has power but not the responsibility.

>>279722149
From what I've heard the females only get into the mood when the males fight each other. They also have a very short mating season of only a few days per year, but that's no different with lots of other animal species.

How would Serie be as a mother to a half elf half human son?

>>279706210

>>279733702
>She sits back and watch bad things happen without helping. She has power but not the responsibility.

Maybe during parts of her life, but she seems plenty responsible after forming the Continental Magic Association. She's the one sending out her students to save people from demons, and she took on Macht herself intending to kill him because of how dangerous he was.

As for not stopping the demon king, if Flamme is to be believed that was simply because she couldn't.

>>279734196
Frieren is very cute in a generic way.

Why are we bumping an AI thread...

>>279734202
I didn't say she is a bad person either, just saying for someone as powerful as she is, she is doing the bare minimum.

>>279733476
Thinking about it, in most manga, she would be. She's, arguably, the only person we've seen who's more powerful than Frieren, and they are ideologically opposed. Her not being at least a minor antagonist is kinda weird.

>>279734328
>she is doing the bare minimum

As opposed to what? Going out and scouring the continent for demons herself? I figure they would just all go into hiding if she went on the warpath, then emerge when she left.

It's worth remembering that the flashback implies that Elves were specifically targeted for extermination by the DK. This does not seem to apply to humans and dwarves, even if the end result wasn't dissimilar.

>>279733217
>each gestation takes 92 years.
Imagine being an elf woman and be heavily pregnant for a whole century. No wonder they don't want to become pregnant.

>think maybe I want to rewatch frieren because season 2 is out
>go to check
>season 2 is not out
am I going insane? I thought some new content released

>>279701767
imagine an essentially immortal race
since they live so long they don't really see the need to reproduce often and probably only have their first child a few 100 years into their life. maybe it just takes longer for them to have babies?
this is a very slow way to reproduce but with how long elves life why should they feel pressured to have more kids. you can still have millions of elves that are just centuries apart in age
most elves just decide to be explorers of some sort so even if they are large in numbers, they aren't going out of their way to mingle with other elves

now what happens when they just start getting killed?

>>279734932
Your future self time leaped back in time.

I stopped reading about 2 years ago. Is Stark still just there for comic relief and background shit or does he have a bigger role now?

>>279736675
The current (on hiatus) arc is trying to hype up warriors and wanks how much better they are than mages (Frieren jobs to a dude with a knife). Stark still does nothing.

>>279701727 (OP)
Would Serie give birth to your childs if you show her you are skilled in magic?

>>279736800

>>279736675
>>279736710
It's obvious the writer is struggling to keep him relevant, this even extends to Fern, she's done very little since the Mage exams expect be part of the SOL/travelling chapters. I mean there is an entire arc with both of them absent and then all she's really done in the current arc is snipe that priest lady (under Frieren's instruction).
Ubel is more relevant now.

>>279736675
I stopped reading somewhere around the point where there's a flashback to when the hero party were fighting a dragon in a city, but I can't really remember anything story relevant after El Dorado/that one time travel arc which may have been before or after El Dorado and I don't quite remember. I just remember getting bored with where the series was going and didn't want to keep up anymore so I'm also curious where they're at now

Ubel being more relevant now is a positive because I always liked her, but I just saw the release date of the latest chapter after someone mentioned there was another hiatus and yeah… I think I will just forget about the series until there is announcement that it’s ending soon (if there is an even such an announcement).

Of human men's interest in human women. She should be held responsible. Collective corrective rape.

Right after Frieren says she's lost to 6 human mages they cut to Ubel, are they implying that Frieren would lose to Ubel?

>>279722149
Maybe elves are reverse pandas. They don't care enough in the wild but I bet if you put Frieren in a cage and told her she had to get pregnant to leave, she'd pragmatically ride you as hard as possible to get it done.

You literally posted an image that showcases how she's a bad person. Failing people out of spite and kneejerk reactions.
Or you could argue she is just incredibly retarded.

>>279737885
>>No species evolves like that.
Life is designed to spread and procreate.
Elves would never have even become a race and instantly died out if the thing with elves they're trying to peddle was true.

Elves are clearly descended from the Goddess through magic, not procreation

Frieren calls out to her mother in her sleep

>>279738064
She was referring to Fern

>>279733476
>Why did the OP make Serie look like the villain
Because she kind of is, she's meant to be a minor antagonistic force for Frieren to overcome. That's her purpose really, to elevate Frieren.
She's an elf who is much older and has accumulated all this magical knowledge yet cannot achieve what Frieren can. Mainly because she's selfish, self centered and cannot see the bigger picture.

>>279738149
The entire world exists solely to serve as contrast to Frierens radiant beauty.

>>279738415
This desu

>>279706210
Even if you put two reasonably attractive elves and a couple of partially horny teenagers in a small cabin with nothing else to do over the winter, they don't breed.

>>279701767
Any place that isn't the MENA region, India, or subsaharan Africa is already speedrunning the elven route at maximum speed. Species can and do evolve to have suicidally low fertility rates.

Is she right? Does great power come with great responsibility? How many lives could have been saved while Frieren was busy looking for a flower?

I'm too selfish and lazy to have raise kids, but if you live hundreds of years, always young? Why not? You're not giving up much, you let them go and then you carry on with whatever, still in your long ass prime. As much of a commitment as raising a chicken for a human.

>>279738583
>meanwhile Fern:

>>279738672
I would love to raise kids but how am I supposed to get one, meanwhile Frieren has infinite opportunities but still can't bother to raise one, what a selfish bitch

>so I'm also curious where they're at now

The current arc involves the Empire (what remains of the Empire that ruled most of the continent in Flamme's time) and a plot to assassinate Serie (who is visiting as the representative of the Continental Magic Association), in turn exploring the Empire's culture, Flamme's legacy, and giving us major human antagonists for the first time.

>>279737939
>Failing people out of spite and kneejerk reactions.

She was right in all her evaluations though, Frieren herself says as much. The people she failed did not have the power or experience to survive the missions First Class Mages get sent on, or (in Frieren's case) had no interest in working for Serie or being part of an organization.

>>279738623
Never was this said. Frieren stated her party would never have won if they all had not been present to fight him.

>>279737636

No longer the case these days it seems.

>Initially, the primary method of breeding giant pandas in captivity was by artificial insemination, as they seemed to lose their interest in mating once they were captured. This led some scientists to trying methods such as showing them videos of giant pandas mating and giving the males sildenafil (commonly known as Viagra). In the 2000s, researchers started having success with captive breeding programs, and they have now determined giant pandas have comparable breeding to some populations of the American black bear, a thriving bear species.

One difficulty is that female pandas are only fertile for a few days once a year. In a captive setting that means you have to figure out when that is and get the male with the female at that time, then they both have to have an interest despite the means of them coming together being very different from in the wild.

I hope you realize how deeply moronic your reductivist statement is. Birthrates aren't just a measurement of "number of babies". It is a key statistic in the propogation and continuation of a nation-state, as well as its overall social health. It's not just trailermaxxing and making future EBT recipients to make big number go up. Ideally, it's making people who will carry the notions and trappings of their country and national identity forward, with the implication that they'll continue working, paying taxes, making more babies, etc. Real life's complications are not at all comparable to Frieren's in-story explanations, which have already been listed. Jesus fucking Christ, anon. Get it together.

Keeping control of your emotions is necessary for better mana control, hence most mages (and warriors who also rely on mana control) are somewhat stoic a lot of the time.

Still, I don't think most characters are that similar. Methode, Wirbel, Ubel, Land, Lawine, etc. all have distinct aspects to them.

I'm pretty sure that if elves in Frieren didn't reproduce sexually it would have come up by now.
