Normally a story, anime or movie whatever has a MC with a goal. They want to get stronger, or they want to explore, or solve a problem or something. What is the point of Frieren? She wants to experience what its like to have friends or some shit?
The characters are like cardboard cut outs - I dont remember any of their names, they haven't overcome any real challenge or developed in any way. That purple haired frumpy bitch, the apprentice, what is her purpose?
There's not even any dynamism in the relationships. Theres no flirtation between the males and females; they're neutered, asexual creatures. there's nothing between frieren and her apprentice either, no indication that these people have been travelling together for years. No emotion.
No one has a nice physique in this anime; there is no fan service, no tits, no thigh, nothing, probably bc women aren't capable of understanding beauty of form, see list of famous female artists. the moonface on this bitch, damn.
I guess this just boils down to one thing; I shouldnt be surprised, its written by a womyn after all.
The author is a personality crippled bore. Frieren is her self insert and "duh goddess" Is her ultimate Mary sue sona.
