IT'S FRIEREN FRIDAY

>>280228606 (OP)
I think the title should have been
>Happy 4th of Frieren

Why does Reddit like Frieren so much?

>>280228824
Everywhere likes Frieren

>>280228974
I tried showing it to my mom but she didn't like it, said its just childish fight scenes for no reason

>>280229012
There is barely any fight scenes for the first several hours you larper

She's had enough of walking

Frieren panel at Anime Expo later today
Fukushi is there so might actually get a new S2 visual or something

>>280229093
why would they show anything at a western convention? it's not popular in the west, it lost to solo leveling of all things

>>280228606 (OP)
with the hiatuses, it's the modern berserk

>>280229130
>it's not popular in the west
That's not true at all
Globally it was top five most popular anime of 2024

Its happening.

>>280230262
Yeah i mean TOHO put the Frieren panel on the main stage at AnimeExpo with all the other shows that have new seasons coming out soon. Totally would be expected to bring something new to show off

They put Apothecary Diaries on a lesser stage because they will just be talking about the current season.

>>280230387
is kaiju8 really on the same level as these other series?

>>280230406
They're all Toho?

>>280230406
No but it has a new season out in a couple of weeks so they just using the event to promote it with everything else on their slate

>>280228606 (OP)

She's literally on this flight

>>280228974
the people that matter (paying crunchyroll subscribers) prefer solo leveling.

>>280232264
Crunchyroll isnt particularly relevant though, more people watch anime on Netflix now and it's literally banned in the two countries which watch anime the most (Japan and China)
It really just a measure of what Pajeets watch

Isn’t Frieren INCREDIBLY tolerant of humans fucking with / impeding her? Why would she tolerate the mage association selection stunts at all? I feel as if she’d be supportive, protective and nurturing of the humans trying to be mages not tolerate stupid death games as if there is any value in ranking one mage over another. And who the FUCK is going to talk back to the living legend of the hero party that defeated the Demon King and whose statue is literally everywhere?

Although…it’s REALLY strange that all of these accomplished and talented mages didn’t instantly recognize Frieren on sight.

And even if Frieren was willing to let humans do death games among each other because that’s just how humans are, there’s just NO way she’d tolerate having herself and especially her friends being targeted for ASSASSINATION. She’s in a forever war against demons, so anything goes there and she doesn’t take anything personally, but when HUMANS come at her, knowing full well who it is they’re attacking, that should be completely different. Why doesn’t she get ENRAGED at this behavior?

>>280232953
>it’s REALLY strange that all of these accomplished and talented mages didn’t instantly recognize Frieren on sight.
Even in our world people don't give a shit about what happened 80 years ago. These people don't even have internet to look her up on.

>>280232953
Frieren is a law abiding citizen and does not want to get in trouble with various lands laws. Beyond that, if you really ask, "who would stop her if she tried to force her way through?" the answer is still no one because Serie doesn't care if Frieren wants to go put herself in danger, but Serie easily could if she felt like it and there's nothing Frieren could do about it.
>>280233036
She's not as bloodthirsty as you think. Frieren was willing to let Aura walk at the start, after all. And her plan with Macht was just "let him die of old age in the future".

>>280233264
>her plan with Macht was just "let him die of old age in the future"
Until 20 seconds later when she thought there was a 1% chance that they would be able to kill him and so gambled in that small chance to kill him

>>280233123
Nice

I thought the manga hiatus was over this 2nd July. Where's chapter 141?

>>280233796
No, people were basing that on Viz's website saying there was a new chapter coming then but it was actually just a mistake on their part

Frieren? Cute.

It's a Solitar talks to the Coral episode.

1. Frieren is stronger than Serie. One of them showed up before the Demon King, the other one did not. That’s literally all that needs to said on the matter.
2. The only reason for Aura’s token peace gesture is simply to provide her moral cover. JP authors are OBSESSED with providing their protagonists to with moral cover. If there’s a fight in which the protagonist knows they will win they MUST, without exception, provide the antagonist a chance to resolve the conflict peacefully. It has nothing to do with the characters and is simply a narrative requirement. Getting into a fight with a weaker opponent isn’t honorable after all, so the demons have to be given chances to retreat and they must attack first, etc. Now you are also aware of what the entire point of Frieren’s super special magic camo system is for — literally to allow demons to attack first, and provide Frieren, who is much stronger than them, moral cover for killing them off. If demons could sense how strong she was they’d naturally flee in terror from her, and moral requirements meant she’d be unable to kill them, hence the attempt to make the magic suppression system seem like some sort of edgy tactic when in reality it’s there to satisfy moral standards. Typical isekai schlock.

Solitair? Never heard of him

Again, on moral cover: consider the scenario in which Frieren didn’t suppress her powerlevel. What would happen when she encounters demons? The demons would either flee in abject terror, or they’d grovel at her feet and beg for mercy, bargain for their survival, offer to be her servant, etc. The idea of fighting her would be nonsensical, something they’d only do out of pure desperation to survive.

Now, what does this scenario mean if Frieren were a Western dark fantasy? Nothing. Frieren hates demons, demons are evil, so she kills them without mercy. If they beg for mercy, they die on their knees, that’s all. But we’re not talking about Western media, this is JP media. In JP media, if someone begs for mercy, it doesn’t matter how evil or monsterous they are, it doesn’t matter how much the protagonist hates them, begging for mercy is an absolute ball-and-chain on the protagonist. If the antagonist is killed, it can ONLY be by another antagonist, the protagonist MUST, without exception, grant the plea for mercy.

And goes even further than this. If the protagonist wins the fight and knocks out or otherwise incapacitates the antagonist, they are ALSO strictly prohibited from striking the killing blow. Please pay attention to this rule and you’ll see it CONSTANTLY in JP media. USUALLY, how these scenes play out is that the after the protagonist bests the enemy in battle, they give the enemy a final chance for mercy (turning their backs, offering them a last chance, etc) and the enemy betrays this gesture which allows the protagonist to finally deliver the killing blow.

>>280237075
Y'know, you can say you are on the side of the demons. We won't judge. Right, guys?

>>280228606 (OP)
Not going to lie, I started laughing hard when Frieren told Aura to kill herself.

>>280237075
I think Frieren is a pretty cool gal. Eh kills demons and doesnt afraid of anything.

How would he fare in the Frierenverse?

It will be specifically anime related since the anime account tweeted it rather than bigger 'PR' account which covers everything, including merch/colabs

Apparently the teaser is about 1min long and shows mostly the crystal cave stuff that would be ep1

The producer says the season is about half done at this point, which is expected

>>280242797
Kind of difficult given how little material will remain post season 2 thanks to the hiatuses.

sousou no aura

>>280232953
She's 1000+ years old, probably older. You tend to mellow out after your first century. People dying of old age around constantly you also tend to make you mellow out further. Difficult to not take a philosophical point of view from that. The fire of youth and "YOU BASTARD! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" only happens to 15 years old for a good reason, anon.

>Why would she tolerate the mage association selection stunts at all?
Should she help the young mage pass the test and solve all their problems for them? Then she stunts their progress. She was, pointedly, not there to solve everyone problem. In fact she didn't really want to be there at all.

It was a test made to test the new generation of mage. Frieren went into it saying "ok but why should I tho", and did the exact minimum that could be expected of her. Which is quite something. She protected people in the tests, she did her job, made her team win, and actually seem to have fondness for quite a few participant: but again, she's 1000+ years old. She saw a lot of people die, a lot of people being crazy, a lot of people failing.

It's, ultimately, not her problem. While she has compassion and tries to help, she finds, ultimatly, all of that quaint and funny.

>>280244018
She's more than a thousand and less than two thousand, but past that we can't narrow it down much, yeah. Also worth remembering that she spent 500 years of that moping in a forest by herself though.

>>280244018
>You tend to mellow out after your first century.

We are (soon) so back Frierenbros

Is it me or do their faces look a little fat

>>280244018
>Frieren went into it saying "ok but why should I tho", and did the exact minimum that could be expected of her.
Other than maybe Fern I don't think anyone carried her team harder than Frieren during the first exam and during the second exam she killed the raidboss and destroyed the spiegel monster.

>>280244379
She's always had a fat face

>posting in the disgusting OP pic ritualthread instead of making a proper one for the expo
I hate you guys.

>>280232953
She doesn't give 2 shits about regulating entities who change every few decades. She enjoyes magic on her own terms, why would she care about some institutions?

god she's so fat

>>280233652
>she thought there was a 1% chance that they would be able to kill him and so gambled in that small chance to kill him
Brainlet take.
It was all about Diagoldze. Previously it was an unbreakable curse. After she got his memories, coupled together with her experience of curing her arm, she knew it was simply a matter of time before she could reverse engineer it.

>>280243337
What does this mean? is it a trailer or a teaser?

>>280243640
Cause I love it.

>>280244563
>Fern carrying
Who besides her fat ass? She got lucky with the first exam and had Frieren in the second.
Denken is an example of someone doing actual carrying.

>>280246861
It's about 1min long, and won't show much new apart from some ep1 scene
You will see it in like 1h from now

I was hoping Netflix would get it as well.

Redditren: Hiatus' end

There's now a solid chance S2 will start before the hiatus ends.

>>280247141
There's more than enough manga content for at least 25-30 episodes, especially if they go all the way to the end of goddess monument arc, maybe even 3 cours of 12 ep each if madhouse is mad enough and wants to throw in a little filler here and there and hint at the steingate stuff.

Fern caught a stille, won her own fight versus the rock mage then won Ubel's fight versus the paralysis mage for her and the only reason she didn't snipe Land's opponent either was because the guy used Frieren's favorite spell.
Denken meanwhile had one of the stronger parties, choose to fight the strongest opponent in the exam, lost, got within a hair's breadth of dropping out in the first stage of the exam.
Then in the second exam Denken failed to get everyone to work together, was said he'd lose against Frieren clone, then said he'd be powerless the help Richter and Lawine against the Sense clone.
Meanwhile Fern dealt fatal damage to the Frieren clone and effectively conquered the labyrinth.

>>280247013

How many years in total has she spent inside mimics?

>>280250956
2. Which doesn't seem like a lot at first, but considering that she knows how to get out of them, 2 years spent in mimics over 1000+ years is actually pretty considerable.

As evidenced by how Serie was willing to let Macht live if he reversed his spell on Weiss, Serie literally doesn't care about killing demons.

Fern and her team got lucky to come across a nest.
In the first exam Frieren and Denken were the ones who caught one without relying on luck.

In the second exam Denken did whatever he could to get everyone working together, and in the end they ended up doing that.
Denken was powerles against Sense but so was Fern, who didn't have the misfortune of coming across Sense.

As for the clone fight, saying she conquered the labyrinth is pure comedy. She only landed a shot because she was offered a huge opening, because without the opening the was useless. Frieren did almost all of the heavy lifting, including killing the clone and getting hit to offer that huge opening,
Ofc, in the end Fern's speed was essential to winning the 2v1 fight, but arguably Denken was just as crucial in the team work and getting everyone working together and covering her flanks.

>>280255053
Dont bother giving facts to retards. They dont care and only have 1 obvious goal

>>280256613
>covering Fern's flanks.

>>280248993
WTF? Wasn't it confirmed multiple times he would be directing? Was this referring just to EP1's director?

>>280255053
Pretty sure in the case of Frieren the director had just as big of an influence, if not more.

>>280228606 (OP)
Will she get more feet scenes in S2?

>>280244245
>rare Frieren smiling
peak

>>280244182
Calm down grandma

>>280257606
More importantly, will she get more racism scenes in season 2?

>>280259644
There are some demon anihilation scenes.
There's also a couple of "alright, I'll hear you out" situations
and she ends up with the same conclusion: demons can no live alongside humanity

Frieren fridays don't last very long anymore.

>>280254220
kek god I hope this isn't true

Ok CR, I chuckled.

The most important question is, is the lead director from season one that made Fern x Stark still apart of the team for season two?

What do you mean?

>>280260007
That's my Frieren

>>280244563
>I don't think anyone carried her team harder than Frieren
Serie mentions that Frieren's presence threw everything off and let people through who shouldn't, it's why she took over the 3rd test. Still, they make it a point to say that there was an unexpectedly high number of mages worthy of being 1st class this exam.
>and during the second exam she killed the raidboss
She was the raid boss, they wouldn't have to deal with that lvl 99 post game monster if she didn't decide to join up as Fern's emotional support elf. If anything she was just taking herself out of the test for the others. In fact it's still worse for them because she took Fern with her to do it so the rest had to deal with an extra threat.
>and destroyed the spiegel monster.
As an accomplishment that would be on the level of tipping a vase. If it wasn't for her being there they would have probably had to deal with Sense as the main guard.

>>280235717

Can't the fucking mangaka do the same? Proof of life...

Serie footjob. That is all.

So, is this anime about two elven lesbians going all postal on a bunch of demons? Is that basically the gist of it? Is this what everyone and their mother is splooging in their pants over?

>>280278580
Frieren-sama is very cute when she is giving birth

>>280280044
It’s about an elf missing obvious signals that a guy loved her and going on a long journey to see him again at a place where you can visit the dead. Everything that happens in between is the meat of the story.

>>280280400
Ah, so a show about two bisexual elves murdering a bunch of demons with one of the carpet munchers on a quest to see the ghost of one of her compatriots because she was too quest-sexual.

Yeah, that sounds kind of woke.

Frieren footjob. That is all.
