Serie's test was basically just how they each react to her(except for Frieren). Everyone who was afraid of her failed. Everyone who was unintimidated by her passed. Serie keeps saying that her human students were ultimately failures, but she cared deeply about every one of them. What Series really hates is their short lifespans. Serie loves how bright human lives burn, but that is also what makes them burn so fast. So she's in this perpetual state of melancholy because her precious students are only with her for such a short time and so they can never reach their full potential. This is the only thing about Frieren that Serie really doesn't like. Serie would love to have Frieren, a mage who not only has the potential but also the time to match her level, but because Frieren has no interest in obtaining power for power's sake, she can't be the student Serie truly longs for. They both know this. But unfortunately their personalities just don't mesh. They are capable of being respectful of each other and they don't hate each other. But they can never be actual companions and friends.
I noticed in the end credits that Lernen is Ehre's grandfather? I could be wrong here, but that quick snapshot seemed like she was introducing him to her group. And I just love how Fern was so practical, just like Frieren! And I'm sure it's a lot easier for them to get their clothes clean and surely and timesaver than doing manual laundry. I, too, am sad about the end of this season, but at the same time, I am so happy and privileged to witness this timeless masterpiece at this moment in time. I am so looking forward to the next season! Huge props to the Madhouse team! And thank you for sharing your reactions with us! 🙇🏻🙏💚
The thing that is not addressed enough is an interdependence between egoistic desires and altruism. Former is labeled as bad, latter as good. Himmel from Frieren's memories isn't a selfless hero. That's a myth, just like the Hero's Sword. Himmels loved himself, and occasionally was carried away in that direction. But he still managed to become a real hero.
Yep! I think the point it drives home at the end of the day as well too is that fairytales are fairytales and reality is what it is. He wanted to become the hero and saw to it that he did so - by whatever means necessary, and become more of a hero that helped people in smaller ways rather than simply just fitting the cookie cutter mold for mythology.
Huge shoutout to Madhouse and Evan Call for this amazing adaptation paired with wonderful music. And big thanks to you for always picking up on so many details and just having genuine fun with this show. You deserve more love men❤ Can't wait for you to read the manga 🤗
Big facts to Madhouse and Evan Call for SURE man! Thanks so much for the love and having fun with me! You guys made it far more enjoyable! 🥹❤ Likewise man! Can't wait to read it and share that with you guys!!!
I love that a lot of people when they heard about Serie giving privilege they were like " there must be a trap." or "She must be evil and giving spell to control people" ect. Then you discover who Serie really is, and that she can give you spells for laundry or every other spell that you want and that there is no trap for a change. It beats the expectations that some people can have due to experience in other anime. Also love Serie's pettiness towards Frieren, it makes me laugh, such an interesting character. Also dont know if you noticed in the ending we see Wirbel's group with Lernen, if you remember Ehre the girl in Wirbel's group said during the first exam that her grandpa was a first class mage and in the ending we see Ehre presenting Lernen to Wirbel and Scharf, so its her Grandpa she was talking about.
I love how Fern and Frieren somehow simultaneously embody all relationships two women might have with one another. Mother and daughter (in both directions), sisters, master and student, aunt and niece, friends... its just very interesting and multidimensional.
The Frieren staff truly gave this adaptation everything, from start till end ❤ And your sincere reactions and thoughtful commentary about the show, its characters, and all the themes that surround it, are just as gold! It's been a great journey!!! Thank you again Lok for your videos 🥹✨✨ Also I can't stand that they chose to end this season with the "tearful goodbyes aren't our thing" line BUT HERE I AM CRYING!!!!!!!!! Jokes aside, so glad s2 is confirmed because it can only get better from here!
Huuuuuuge facts man! Paiiiiiin with the ending route they chose but it was perfect! Thanks so much for watching, laughing, and listening to me ramble! 🥹❤ I'm looking forward to watching S2 with you guys when it eventually drops and stuff, and also to see what the manga has to offer before then!
Serie has lived far more than Frieren but just IMAGINE for a second if she spoke to Ubel and if by some miracle Ubel manages to empathize with her ..... IMAGINE what kind of beast Ubel will become if that would happen! Maybe Serie is also cautious since she can tell from a glance that Ubel is batshit insane xD
Do you have any predictions on when you will start reading the manga? The videos will be like the csm and onk ones you used to do, right? I'm so excited 😅
It’ll be sometime this month Beatriz! 😊 The way I’ll read it might be a liiiiiittle different like a reading VLOG type situation where there’s editing and things I have cut out of course, but there’ll be on screen panels, tons of things to talk about, and so much more!
It's fun to see your reactions...May I recommend a girl group for you namely SECRET NUMBER .Secret Number has interesting and burning songs, for example DOXA or Doomchita. I really want to see your reaction to the song and the concept they convey . I'm waiting, friend
Thanks! Ah unfortunately I don’t follow Secret Number closely anymore, Phoebe! I have reacted to them before but their company’s mismanagement of their comebacks made me lost interest, sorry!
@@LKTVLKTV Yes Bro, I can understand it because LOCKEY Secret Number fans also feel that way. I respect your choice bro and Thank you for giving me the answer. Maybe this isn't important to you but Secret Number will be making a comeback in the near future and they will also be on a USA Tour in 6 cities. Good luck in the future bro.👍
I've been watching your channel for a long time, Im currently watching Chuang Asia 2024, I wonder if you are interested. It is a girl group survival show based on Thailand. They have Ten as a mentor, jeff satur, mike angelo and Nene. Mostly Thai. There is an appearance of Minnie as well in the recent episode. It would be amazing if you use them as your content as well, would love to hear your thoughts andeverything about the girls. btw, it's so fun to watch. no drama, just pure joy. I came to your channel because of gp999. so i thought u might be interested in this too. There are many chinese contestants that are so good and thai as well. I think you will love it.
Thanks! Yeah I'm not tooooooo interested in Chuang, but that's awesome to hear that its a lot of fun! I've heard some cool stuff like Wang Ke and Ikema Ruan from GP999 also appearing on there too haha. Love to see it!
@@LKTVLKTV Yes Ruan and Wang ke are doing well. 2nd and 3rd place. it's alright if you are not interested. I'm just saying, it's a lot of fun to watch xDD hahaha
Serie's intuition knows that Ubel wants people to speak to her so she can empathise and learn their spells lol. At first I thought she just wants nothing to do with her because she's crazy but she's fine with violence, then I figured out she knows what Ubel does and has no reason to engage her in a conversation where she can gain an advantage lol. Also Land and Ubel both passing so he's now stuck with her under the same organisation is one of the best outcomes lol.
