Frieren
This show is pozzed. I was lied to.
It's got writing indicative of people who've never had life experience outside of video games. The "adventurers" form a "party" and become "heroes". This is not how people speak outside of video games, these terms exist as meta-mechanical descriptors and don't exist within the game universe. I hate shows that do this, it's incredibly awkward. Inuyasha did not "form a party" and "go on an adventure" to "defeat the evil demon king", a motley crew came together to hunt Naraku because each of them had a personal vendetta against him. They didn't have "jobs" or "classes". Not that Inuyasha is great writing, but it's better than this meta-narrative schlock.
Religion is depicted as a fairy tale. The characters are religious because... it's a nice idea innit? How sweet.
It's full of cutesy shit for the sake of cutesy shit, that ruins the tone. Frieren is a stoic, majestic ancient and powerful magician, but she still acts like a toddler stopping the show to do cute poses and fawn around. Here's another montage of Frieren being oh so sickeningly adorable. Aww. Fuck off. Unearned.
She gets two companions and they are both danger hair pronouns. One is an effeminate useless fraud, the other is a bulldyke refugee. Their interactions are awkward because the show can't decide if Frieren is their mother figure or their child.
The first "demon" the group comes across is a European white male... who is bad because rich and has horns.
Frieren is an asexual. The show is lauded by it's fanbase as being "not like other anime's" because it doesn't have fanservice, but it's clear now that the show has simply been neutered.
I found this show to be thoroughly disappointing, all the more so because it's held up by it's fanbase as trad and redpilled.
It's shallow, meandering, gay and stupid. I do not care for it.
3/10.
It's the other end of the spectrum from Konosuba, but the whole spectrum is just a shit smear.

> they are both danger hair pronouns
What does this even mean?
>One is an effeminate useless fraud, the other is a bulldyke refugee
Fern is exceptionally effeminate though the only time she is not a supreme female is when she is in battle. The guy is still in his learning phase and lacks confidence, what about him in particular makes him a feminine useless fraud? This reads like you had already written off the show so you didn't actually pay attention to the characters (because you did).
>the show can't decide if Frieren is their mother figure or their child
If you ever saw how someone who works from home goes about their day you would know why Frieren acts the way she does. Better yet, look at neets. When you have no boss, no responsibilities, and just do whatever you want for the majority of your life do you really think you're going to be some paragon of responsibility? Most people in the real world comparable to Frieren stay up all night, sleep most of the day, and don't bother with daily hygiene. She's as real as it gets all things considered.
>The first "demon" the group comes across is a European white male... who is bad because rich and has horns
They look exactly like the humans except they have horns. How retarded can you be?
>because it doesn't have fanservice
Bullshit. There's fan service in half the episodes. You're stuck on Inuyasha from 30 years ago thinking fan service has to be "KYAA MY PANTSU!!! STOP GRABBING MY BOOB FALL-KUN!!!"

OP your post was completely unnecessary. Everyone who watches Frieren does so because Frieren is a gorgeous perfect waifu. There is nothing more to it. The whole show is carried by her legitimately 10/10 character design. This is all very bad. The anime's plot is dogshit. The pacing is horrendous. The other characters are just there so that you miss Frieren during the time she's not directly displayed on the screen. Author was gifted divine inspiration when drawing that elf and is now reaping the fruits of this blessed luck

Kinda agree but I actually like Frieren's two companions. I like the idea that Stark is superstrong with max attack but since he's cowardly he always fights in the defensive so it rarely shows how strong he is. Fern is a pure autismo but of a different breed than Frieren, they work well together.

The alt right anime. It's based because we like to lust after immature half-retarded children. We aren't like those other queers who like Frieren. You can trust us.

>This is not how people speak.
True, but is anime, simplifying is mandatory.
>The characters are religious because...
Because in that world they know afterlife exists, is not an explored aspect of the show anyways.
>Op magician, but she still acts like a toddler.
Agree, caricaturization is one of the worst aspects of this show, and of anime in general.
Slow and contemplative pacing doesn't fit with Stark becoming all chibi screaming like a retard, japs are shit when it comes to comedy.
>Cutesy shit.
Agree, most characters look like little kids, compared to Lodoss war, it looks like moeshit.
>Frieren asexual.
Why do you care? Also not true, she wanted Himmel's dick and tried to seduce Sein in one episode.
You need to have a sexuality in order to profit from it.

My main problem is that Fern, Stark, everyone in this show seems to have the same identical emotional range that Frieren has, which makes no sense.

Not having histrionic shonen personalities doesn't equate to having no range of emotions.
That is such an American take, that's why you people should be banned from watching media that is not from burgerland.

For me, not watching Frieren is down to simple contrarianism.

The more I see a show praised, talked about or recommended to me, the less I want to watch it.

I now choose which anime to watch based on other factors, such as the setting being geographically close to my house or having an interesting art direction and have been faring far better for it.

Yeah that show sucked. It got me interested with it's whole episodic exorcist premise, then it got bogged down with character of the week. I just can't do it again after the serious 7 or whatever the fuck in Inuyasha. That whole arc was suffering.

Yeah, for example the last anime I watched was Soredemo Machi ga Mawatteiru. It's set in Ota-ward and that's where I live so I watched it for that reason. Or, you know, I'll read a manga because the mangaka and I have the same hobby. You rarely get steered wrong choosing media that way (and it helped me find my all time favourite manga).

The first Frieren chapter felt like a deconstruction of isekai tropes but then the manga quickly abandons that and it becomes isekai #27639 with a magic system, generic villains and even a tournament arc.
Also, you're 100% right about the characters. It's a show for otaku who don't interact with other human beings, like 99% of anime nowadays.

The anime has better art, especially backgrounds which the manga uses shitty filtered photographs for. The anime's only major flaw that isn't inherited from the manga is the wooden as fuck acting, but considering how basic the dialogue and inexpressive the characters already are in the manga, you probably wouldn't be able to imagine something much better.
