I watched the first episode of this because it was shilled here so much
Not only did nothing happen, but I had to double check that I didn't accidentally start at the wrong season because in the pilot they talk about how the quest is already over. I then thought that this is one of these shows where the first scene is set in the future, but then it flashes back and you see the quest. nope.
Does anything happen in later episodes?

>>280381033 (OP)
are you 12? just watch the goddamn thing instead of asking "AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS??? DO YOU KNOW???" like an annoying brat at the movies

>>280381033 (OP)
You're dumb as hell

>>280381033 (OP)
No. Im gonna save you the time and tell you to just give up. It’s basically this generations FMAB. Its a waste.

OP cannot understand why "Frieren: At Journey's End" starts at the end of the journey

>>280381033 (OP)
Story is legitimately about "what if adventure is over"

>>280381194
well, turns out after an adventure is over... another just begins!

>>280381272
fag

Zoomers are such stupid babies, fucking hell.

>>280381272
Sorry this isn't axeb8

>>280381033 (OP)
Is this that reddit show people sperged out over because of MAL ratings?

Will you faggots EVER stop replying to this shit?
This dude has been posting the same fucking image every single day for months with slightly different words about how fireren is bad or good. Literal months. And I still see it get replies. Holy shit. Fucking stop man.

>>280381179
Yeah, most people don't get why you would ever tell the story that comes after the incredible journey to defeat the demon king filled with action, loss, sacrifice, stakes and tells the epic story of how legendary heros were forged and saved the world. You know, because it would be really boring.
Good thing Frieren will never stop reminding you of how much more interesting that story was because thats what makes its story interesting, riiiight?

>>280381033 (OP)
Now you know why the number one complaint against this show is how fucking boring it is. You will never see that quest.

>>280383931
mm, it's called a deconstruction, sweetie.

>>280381033 (OP)
Don't worry, they quickly abandon the kino Aria-esque slice of life for typical jap-fantasy after six or so episodes, and by the end of the season it's battle slop.

Kill all low IQs

>>280384087
hitler's art was without equal, you just don't get the hieratic scale, babe.

>>280383931
>99% of of stories end when the journey to defeat the demon lord is over
>This is a unique twist on that premise, exploring what happens AFTER the demon lord is defeated because the world doesn't actually end there
>NOOOOOOOOOO I WANT THIS TO BE LIKE LITERALLY 99% OF FICTION

>>280381033 (OP)
Its a zoomers first slice of life anime. Even at the end theres a shonen tournament arc in testament to how boring the slice of life is.

>>280389690
author wanted this to be a nice full on slice of life probably. Editor came in and told him that since his work was getting popular he needed to add shonen elements like evil demon baddies to fight and a whole pointless tournament arc. Imagine what could have been if retards like op weren't the majority.

>>280390001
This smells of cope. How would you write having them adventure all of the way back to where they defeated the demon king and have there be no shonen shit happen?
If you were to keep it slice of life, they would have Frieren and Fern search for some spell to contact spirits, or look around to figure out the whereabouts of Heaven instead.
The first few episodes was just to lay down the proper backstory, context, and worldbuilding for everything that follows.

>>280390920
admit the fucking tournament arc had no point. The whole "you need to be a certified master magician" shit was forced as hell.

>>280381033 (OP)
>watched the first episode and nothing happens
The first four episodes are intended to be watched as a single piece of work, they were made and broadcast as a movie

>>280391037
oh noooo it has no point
time to delete my frieren folder and kill myself!!! this show iS BAD

>>280391037
It existed to create a situation where all of the major magic characters (that'll be plot relevant later) had to come together and showcase their abilities, thus introducing them to the viewer (much like how they had Kraft show up for one episode just so the viewer knew who he was). I think the most important of that arc is Serie (obviously) and Ubel.
Also, it was an excuse to let the viewer see more of Frieren's combat ability, since there was quite a dry spell at that point. And to wank Fern more, obviously.

>>280381033 (OP)
I understand why people think this show is shit and boring for certain reasons

that being said.
> but I had to double check that I didn't accidentally start at the wrong season because in the pilot they talk about how the quest is already over. I then thought that this is one of these shows where the first scene is set in the future, but then it flashes back and you see the quest. nope.
You are retarded as fuck bro.

>episode starts
>landscape shot of a place that looks completely like all the places before it
>interchangeable name that will never be brought up again

its pretty silly isnt it

>>280391037
occupational loisencing is a real thing, look it up.

Fern is just worst.
She teases and seduces Stark.
Only to berrate him when he shows interest.

>>280391555
She wants him to break and fuck her brains out.

>>280391555
Even worse when she imagines all the scenarios when Stark's stark would leave her a broken and sopping mess, it is okay.
But when she thinks Stark is thinking of anything lewd, she is quick to call him the pervert.

>>280391555
She wants to be dominated by him, but he is too meek to do it.

>>280391583
>>280391587
the asuka school of sexual interest.

Fern booba. Fooba, if you will.

>>280391632
my major criticism of this show is that they want you to know that fern has big tiddies but they refuse to draw them as such 90% of the time
afraid to be sexy

>>280391583
weird booba

>>280391721
Looks like normal anime balloon booba to me.

>>280389690
I spent 3 or 4 episodes deciding whether denken is a dwarf or a human
Ultimately, i decided human

>>280391650
You can see from most shots that her chest is massive, she just dresses modestly.

>>280381033 (OP)
no it's just slice of life slop and battle shonen

>>280391790
but it was too high

>>280381033 (OP)
Lmao imagine being too retarded to watch Frieren.

>>280392162
Thats how anime balloon boobs look like.

These two at the same time.

>>280392226
Stark-sama...

>>280387083
Unique doesn't mean good, formulas become commonplace for a reason

>>280390001
>shonen elements like evil demon baddies to fight and a whole pointless tournament arc.

Those are not "shonen elements"

>>280381033 (OP)
>had to double check that I didn't accidentally start at the wrong season because in the pilot they talk about how the quest is already over
I'd call it bait, but who can tell in this braindead zoomer age

Ayo Frieren?

>>280381033 (OP)
Frieren is a 'high fantasy for adults' you are probably just not in the target age bracket

>>280392554
Yuribait show

>>280381033 (OP)
When it comes to Frieren, lower your expectations, treat it like you would your basic shonen anime, turn your brain off and you'll have a great time.

>>280392554
we know how it will end

>>280392311
some people actually get into thing without knowing anything about it, its actually based

>>280392293
Every formula was once an innovation. Did you know that Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde being the same person was actually a major plot twist?

>>280381033 (OP)
Retard.

>>280392563
>high fantasy for adults
Nothing is harder to understerstand than a hormonal, milquetoast teen whose only display of personality is her act of pouting whenever her slightly less bland pseudo boyfriend doesn't read her mind.
Actually, maybe there's one thing that you need even more life experience and wisdom for - which is to relate to her master's deeply mature mind.
You really can't understand the act of not actualizing your desires, although you have already gained understanding of your emotional attachment and then disregard that for 50 years for no reason whatsoever, only to cry about it once it's too late, without having laid the epistemic frameworks of proust, heidegger's authenticity of being, pascal's misdirection of time and kierkegaard's lost possibility.

Frieren enthusiast disliking words, who would've thought.
Go laugh at her getting stuck in chests for the 50th time, illiterate marasmatic.

>>280381033 (OP)
It's a show about nostalgia. Lot of anime are about bostalgia but this one is about hyper ultra nostalgia. Found it boring.

>>280382242
>months

Explain this almost perfect score overall, now. Honestly I just found this above average.

>>280391037
The point was to teach us about the magic system, and how it actually works.

>>280391632
This was a critical plot element, that told us that Frieren was aware of large magical flying monsters in the area. Hence telling Lawine to watch the skies later on, and the whole thing about there being large magical monsters like the one that attacked Kanne. Frieren wanted to relax and rest of Fern's lap, but she was unable to see the whole sky, which was a serious threat to the safety of the party.

>>280391555
>>280391583
she was raised in the woods by a priest and autistic elf, please understand.

>>280392122
He's just old and shrunk, like Himmel was at the end.
>>280394002
Frieren having flaws is what balances out her ridiculous OP powers.
>>280395283
It's just an IQ check. Look at all these retards in the thread who didn't pay enough attention to understand basic facts of the show. If you didn't thinking it was great, you probably just have a brain rotted away by tiktok and twitch streaming.

>>280381033 (OP)
They are going to turn it into pure shonenslop
TOHO want bigger/better action scenes in s2, pretty sure they are giving it a larger budget judging by their expanded staff list.
They went from 1CAD to 3 and now will have 2 assistant directors to support the series director (most well known for action), so must be planning for significantly increased workloads
