What gives Frieren lasting power compared to other flavor-of-the-month anime?

>>282157716 (OP)
Fat Fern Tits.

>>282157716 (OP)
Her soothing voice and good music.

While I don't like it that much particularly, it's because it has adventure - not action.

It's always about going into the unknown and learning things as you go. It's why the first conan movie is more interesting - it's a journey, it's adventure, even if it is not a great interesting script it had lasting power, and the second movie is not interesting - it's action.

Same reason why lord of the rings is so good, but some pure action scenes medieval movie is not. This is why aragorn, legolas and gimli just running on some barren lands with an aerial shot feels good, because of the sense of adventure it instills.

It's such a simple winning formula that few stories have made use of for some reason.

>>282157716 (OP)
Good female characters.
Sexy female characters.
Feet (female).

>>282157716 (OP)
Elf cute.

Why would you want an elf girlfriend if they have no sex drive?

>>282157786
Heh

>>282157786
I wish I could insist on Serie.

>>282157823
You need good worldbuilding for a proper adventure story. Isekai and other trends mean that the author basically expects the bog standard tropes plus whatever weird shit he adds.

its an easy sell to a large audience. I love frieren

>>282157716 (OP)
In rea life it hasn't, here it's just one autist that believes every anime must have a perma general on the board or it's "forgotten"

New character visual for s2

>>282157938
The soundtrack was honestly quite forgettable
OP and ED songs were nice though.

>>282157716 (OP)

Shitposter didn't watch the anime

>>282157716 (OP)
lots of shows have enduring power. frieren's is because of the gestapo granny and ubel sexo memes.

>>282157945
>the hero party got a character visual too
i wonder if that means they are going to do the goddess monument arc in season 2 after all

>>282158056
Anon it just mean that bras don't exist.

It doesn't. It's overrated by idiots who like fantasy racism and mary sues.

>>282157945
They look the same

>>282157786
CARLOS!

>>282157862
Not always, but there is a lot more laziness in most isekai.

I disagree, you can have an adventure with very little world-building. That being said, world building makes a fantasy story far superior.

I personally think what makes certain stories stand out is what they aim to accomplish before the end.
Neverending stories meander and lose focus, while a story with a goal and endgame preplanned has far better direction and stands out more. If the writer knows where he is going, he can plan for it and make the story deeper without getting lost in the bushes. It all builds together instead of seemingly cast about in random fashion.

Life is random, stories should not be.

>>282158623
The only thing that's different is a slight change to how they shade the hair but that's it.
It is a different character designer to S1 but still looks nearly identical

>>282158554

Frieren is a generational anime. It is worthy of dethroning FMAB (thank God it finally fell, because it was there for way too long).

>>282161240 (Me)
Oh yeah, and the gorgeous Madhouse animation with all-time level sakuga. How could I forget that?

>>282161240

And this without turning the male cast into shit.

>>282157786
Took me a while to get it but actually made me laugh. Thats a damn good one anon. Kek

Personally i like how it goes about the small moments. It´s all part of the adventure, spending months doing menial work on a farm, stopping because someone got a cold, helping clean the roads, carry some boxes, remembering moments spent with friends, creating new bonds along the way. It´s all incredibly comfy.

The pacing is great, the simplicity of the premise, the art design and animation are great, fights are cool and it has a decent amount of dramatic moments but not so many that it makes it impossible to re visit without crying.

For example, if you ask me, Fumetsu no anata e has some similar ideas and pacing but the lives of the people Fuji meet along the way are absolute tragedies. I love that one probably as much as i love Frieren but it´s just so painful to watch. Sometimes you don´t want feels, you want to see Stark watching a poop shaped clouds and thinking "yeah, this 16 year old bombshell that absolutely wants my D is probably going to be thrilled about poop shaped clouds"

>>282164403
Would you be able be friend let alone seduce her.

>>282164771
i would do anything to her, i know exactly how i would act... she would at least hug me.

>>282157716 (OP)
She's the flagship of bigots.

It's a generic isekai world with the usual demon lord
>One of the best executed magic systems in anime and manga.
This isn't a videogame

Sakuga cubes
>One of the best female casts in anime and manga.
Mary-sue protagonist
>One of the best leads, especially among female leads in anime and manga.
See above
>A melancholic story about mortality that reminds you just how short life is because you can literally see and feel how much time has past so quickly with all the time skips.
Only the first few chapters, then ir becomes shonen slop
>Another Evan Call masterclass of a soundtrack
Generic isekai music

>>282165328
>It's a generic isekai world with the usual demon lord
how?

>>282165328
>shonen slop
That's the secret for success.

>>282165489
We need to be honest, this is the real formula for success, battle shounens always without a fail end up being the ones at the top, Frieren just used the same formula and got lucky, like it always happen.

>>282157716 (OP)
Never watched her show. I like how people keep posting her feet, ass, and mimic molestation.

>>282157786
there are still good posters on this website

>>282157716 (OP)
She is smaller.

Any good doujin of this show?

>>282165588
>always without a fail
If you ignore the ones that did fail and got cancelled, sure.

>>282165328
>>282165489
It's not shonen slop though but a solid old school battle shonen. Add some good drama every now and then and this thing can run half a lifetime.

>>282157716 (OP)
It is good

>>282157716 (OP)
Just finished it recently and cannot fathom why it's as popular as it is. Yes, it's fine. But that's about the most praise I can give it. Is it the basically zero fanservice making it very normie-friendly? The slightly-more-interesting-than-usual premise/themes for the setting? I just don't get the overwhelming ratings it got.

>>282167675
>Is it the basically zero fanservice making it very normie-friendly? The slightly-more-interesting-than-usual premise/themes for the setting?
FMAB is doing this and was #1 for 15 years on MAL

>>282167675
>basically zero fanservice
Depends on what you like to see.

>>282157716 (OP)
Frieren unironically has one of the worst world building manga ever
There's nothing particularly interesting about the world cities or creatures / monsters
The spells are also just shooting lasers retardry

>>282157716 (OP)
Story quality. It isn't just slop, it's a lightly comedic story about an ancient elf training a human and learning to understand the people she journeyed with.

>>282168375
>The spells are also just shooting lasers retardry
That's just because the main cast has shittaste.

>>282168405
>learning to understand the people she journeyed with
You can see why this triggers so many anons.

how would the characters perform in the bed room?

>>282168793
aura would give good head

>>282157716 (OP)
It's got an end in sight, the cornerstone of what I consider good long-form media. Twists and turns are expected, a bit of meandering and sidetracking too, and the goal might not be the actual goal in the end. But so many shows (talking about more than anime here) think it's enough to have characters and dialogue and an interesting "now" plot. No, no, you need an overarching structure, a deadline.
A deadline forces focus. It tells the story where it needs to go and when to get there, instead of drifting forever until it loses all weight. And honestly, most writers aren’t actually that good at writing characters, there’s a ceiling of "well-written" that’s easier to hit than people like to admit. Without that larger structure pushing things forward, even decent characters just end up circling the drain, stuck in loops of banter and half-baked drama while the story forgets what it was supposed to be about.

>>282157754
There needs to be more /ss/ of Fern and her fat tits or more pov stuff so I can pretend to be sexing her and cumming on her thick pubes.

>>282157786
Kek

>>282165328
Don't fall for the bait post

>>282168375
>The spells are also just shooting lasers retardry
A significant part of the story is establishing why that came to be, and why it's also fading away as a meta.
And why despite the shift away from that spell, it's still preferred for Frieren and Fern. Despite not being the current 'combat meta' in the world.
That's actually one of the more interesting parts of the story ironically.

>>282158481
Greek tapered is the best shape.

>>282165858
My favorite is Penis Enlargement Magic.

>>282171193
I find Tapered/Egyptian for larger feet and Square for smaller feet the most aesthetically pleasing

>>282157716 (OP)
I like Frieren because she's just like me.

>>282157716 (OP)
Good soundtrack, good animation, good story.
Some others have 1 or 2 of those but fail at the others. They don't need to be amazing just good enough.
There's no amazing anime. The 9/10 anime are just good enough

>>282168342
I guess the fanservice was tolerable or flew over the heads of the normies.

>>282171783
>Frieren
>story
Lmao, if anything people are not liking much the current arc "story".

>>282157862
But Frieren has bad worldbuilding

>>282157786
Cheeky

>>282157716 (OP)
It's pure fantasy that takes itself seriously.

>>282157716 (OP)
Well, there's no weird fanservice so it's like my westernslop but the great part is that it doesn't have niggers.

it's good
it's not bad
simple as
