watched it a few months ago and to be honest, frieren has made it hard for me to go back to enjoying "normal" anime.

i get bored instantly trying to get into new seasonals or "classic" shows like eva or cowboy bebop. the character development, the emotions, and the worldbuilding just seem really third-rate by comparison. it's like going back to games you played as a kid and realizing how shallow they are compared to the stuff for adults. it's honestly depressing

has anyone else experienced this?

>>280091106 (OP)
no because your show is overrated garbage with fantasy racism

>>280091106 (OP)
>the character development, the emotions, and the worldbuilding
is that a bait
the show has cool animation and probably music, etc, but the stuff that it has from the manga is, well, Frieren manga

>>280092076
it's number one on MAL

>>280092357
And pleddit

>>280092357
like the other shonenslop

>>280092357
>not disputing the lack of
>the character development, the emotions, and the worldbuilding
heh

It's crazy how they took an unfunny, unpopular 4-koma and turned it into what shounen anime would be like if produced by studio Ghibli. I mean, I didn't even like it so much, but I have to recognize what a phenomenal upgrade they did.

Thanks to bots and Indians

So true. Frieren is not just a native isekai, it's a modern classic surpassing lord of the rings with profound mature themes about existence and life that will go over the average viewer's mind

Frieren was only good for when Aura was told to kill herself. It's a dead show now. There are way better anime than Frieren when you consider individual tastes and not the overrated scoring it received. If you think a rating number on MAL is worth a shit, you have brain damage while also being a sheep incapable of independent thought. Explore the medium further so you might see just how much of a low rent piece of shit Frieren really is, abd how Frierenfags are a cancer killing /a/. Have a good day and kill yourself, onii-chan.

>everything i dont like is isekai
retard

>>280093106
>no reading comprehension
it's native isekai

>>280093159
>no media literacy
it isn't

>>280091106 (OP)
Yes, it's normal. You'll be a jaded asshole for a bit.

Frieren should be less popular and what I like should be more popular. Simple as.

aura should get her own spinoff series

>>280091106 (OP)
opposite effect on me. frieren made me pick up the fantasy genre again so now i watch all of the seasonal fantasy and isekai junk no matter the quality, and love it.

>>280094097
She got her own chapter in the prequel novel so I guess there is a chance

>>280091106 (OP)
frieren is nice and all, but it's not evel close to Eva

>>280091106 (OP)
You only like Frieren because she's racist.

>>280094835
fucked up when that bait is probably true for lots of AD 2025 mouthbreathers

>>280094394
was actually reading a translation of that part, at least up until i couldn't access the final segment of her arc at https://gadgetizedpanda.com/2024/09/22/frierens-prequel-novel-chapter-4-part-5/
and the cloudflare server times out
lame
aura is the most interesting character just going by what i've read

>>280091106 (OP)

>>280091106 (OP)
This is the anime equivalent of liking junk food and then larping a food connoisseur. Frierenfags really showing that they have the tastebuds of subhuman pigs

>>280096277
someone's filtered

>>280096330
Keep putting that feces in your mouth

>>280096388
teenagers will never understand frieren's themes

>>280096439
Same replies all the time. "Too mature for you kiddo, bait, filtered". Im14andthisisdeep. Truly the rick and morty of anime.

>>280096572
nta but i think he means that teenagers won't understand the themes because they're just too young, it's not about maturity

>>280096572
Nta too but the best parts of this show are related to things associated with the passage of time and growing old. It's really not going to hit the same with teenagers
Are they able to connect to the story about the old dwarf who cannot remember the face of his lost wife but sits guarding her hometown simply because it was her wish and he loved her so much he tries everything to keep connected to her? Obviously not compared to someone who knows what it's like to have lost someone and dearly wishes to keep hold of those memories they had with them despite time cruely trying to take those away from you.

There are tons of these emotionally resonant stories in Frieren but it won't be the same for people who share less life experiences

i don't really care about themes this or deep that, i went through that phase in the 90s
i just want characters i'm interested in doing things i'm interested in seeing happen in settings i'm interested in
and i am rn interested in more aura

>>280097007
>in the 90s
but you're a a kid

>>280097035
i'm a squid now

>>280092357
>Frieren's number one
but not on Crunchyroll.

>>280096439
>teens won't understand
the right teenager can easily understand any theme intellectually, but Frieren's themes are unlikely to resolate within people with such limited life experience.

>>280094835
>Frieren is racist.
Demon hads wrote this post.

So frieren's only good if your friends and family passed away? Guess I should wait til I'm old and alone to start ig, you know for the full immersion

>>280097328
Message is you should cherish your life and stop watching this boring ass anime

>>280097328
Nah. Lost my best friend, Frieren's still boring.

>>280091106 (OP)
Chinese media last week were saying it's the best anime to come out in the last 20 years

>>280097513
Wow, this native isekai battle shonen is better than other battle shonens

Why are posts like this being unironically made these days? Is it true the site is mostly filled with newbie retards these days?
Christ almighty, litfags were right.

>>280097424
you should have died instead.

>>280096572
meanwhile your posts
>slopslop >food analogy

>>280097591
Since when is Steins Gate a battle shonen?

>>280097704
s;g is already overrated pseud not considered when comparing

Only retarded anime fags would treat Frieren like Karamazov or something. It’s a good series but you can’t be this retarded.

>>280097751
name one better. oh wait, you can't

>>280097777
I don’t watch anime, I read manga, retard.

>>280097690
Cutting me real deep with these old news, anon.

>>280097797
wow, you're real cool for not watching cartoons but comic books instead

>>280097890
Yes, and you’re a retard for hyping up Frieren like this. Go read literature you 12 year old pseud.

>>280097912
>muh riil buks

>come on, it's not THAT good
>what do you mean I need to name one better

Enough bait and false flagging
Post elf

>>280097751
its clearly better than most of the classic shows /a/ shills, shonenshit, isekai, and moeslop. maybe not quite better than tolkein at worldbuilding but more emotional depth at least

>>280098392
No, it’s of the same level as most of them. There are tons of manga more interesting, entertaining, with more complexities, more depth, more intrigue, than Frieren.
I’m tried of you newfag retards and your obvious bait.

>>280091106 (OP)
I haven't watched it yet but see it shilled constantly and the art looks generic and boring. Why can't "masterpieces" at least look unique anymore.

>>280098447
Yeah, there are deep manga like punpun, berserk, and vagabond

>>280098006
I know I mostly read manga, but I can name you both manga and anime off the top of my head I think are better, I’m down to discuss.

>>280098514
Humans have fairly narrow range of perfection when it comes to something like character aesthetics. Though the changing cultural definition of perfection often overrules the evolutionary perfection.

>>280098514
>Why can't "masterpieces" at least look unique anymore.
You obviously can't get this just from looking at the poster but the hair and clothing animation really sets it apart from any other shows. Movie tier alot of the time
Also background art is consistently great

Not anon, but recent manga I've enjoyed were dungeon meshi, jigokuraku, otoyomegatari, orb. Sometimes the anime adapation doesn't do it justice (or enough justice)

>>280098514
it's supposed to look that way

>>280097704
Are you implying Steins;Gate is the best anime of the last 20 years? Because it's not even notable for its own decade.

>>280091106 (OP)
>eva
>bebop
>classic
You haven't watched real classics yet like logth

>>280092357
Wasn't FMA number one at one point? And AoT? None of those guys have taste.

I felt this way after I watched Ergo Proxy and Kanon last year

>>280091106 (OP)
it turns into battleslop so thats that I guess

>>280091106 (OP)
is that bait? frieren is literally boring slop most of the time and the thing that makes it so popular is the animation

word for word the same post as yesterday

>>280098006
There you have it

>>280091106 (OP)
Let me guess, dub watcher?
You need to watch more anime, newfag.

>>280092357
This is the same site that thinks trash like Steins;Gate is a top 3 anime of all time.

>>280092357
Not a metric that matters. If we really care about sales than things like Dragonball and Gundam will be the only things worth raving about because there is empirical evidence that everything else is far behind in popularity, finance, and impact.

>>280095019
at least they admit it unlike asmontard wokelicans who say
>the ones who point it out are da real raycis

>>280102090
if it isn't a TV anime it's not a classic. tired of OVA/moviefags thinking they are tapped into discernment when they are just a24 letterboxd ahh faggot fans at best.

>>280103903
Demon Slayer being a well sold manga debunks the popularity gives merit to srt argument because the demon slayer's art in a visual medium known as manga is terrible.

>>280092416
and 4chan

>>280107155
I still think S;G is the worst thing in the MAL top 10 and that's saying something.

>>280110149
Why? It's a good show.
