Frieren Episode 4 "The Land Where Souls Rest" | Reaction/Review 

Pardon me, but does anyone know what day it is??? Oh that's right - IT'S FRIEREN FRIDAY 🎉🎉🎉

Flamme reacting to herself

Good on you to catch that Frieren wears her Master's earrings

"I feel like this journey is gonna break me", you have no idea how true that is lol

I think when Frieren said “ a mere ten years” at the end; it’s in a different context now. Before it felt more like she was saying as it was insignificant. Now she feels that the ten year journey will be short for her, but she knows it’s significant. Like the term, “Nothing maters”; it can be interpreted in both a positive or negative way

I love that you keyed in on that moment in the ruins where Fern peeks over Frieren's shoulder - that's one of like three moments between those two over the course of the series that I believe show how truly intimate their familial bond is without saying a word or calling any attention to it. The first was in the herbalist's shop in episode 2, when Fern has the seed rats up her sleeve and Frieren comes over to stand behind her. Frieren leans over Fern, and Fern leans back into her and looks up - in that moment, regardless of whatever conflict or uneasiness may be between them consciously, their unspoken mother-daughter relationship shows through. The scene in the ruins has a similar vibe, just with an older child. It's brilliant writing and directing, and it doesn't seem like a lot of reactors catch those little subtle moments, so it's cool that you did. 😊

glad to see some people who remembers the details, most reaction creators don't even care

At this point Fern's been with Frieren since she was about eight years old, so Frieren basically helped raise her and she's underestimating the bond they have. Frieren shows more physical affection to Fern that she's shown to any other character in all four episodes, doing things like patting her head and sleeping on her lap, and Fern is also comfortable sleeping on Frieren's shoulder or brushing her hair and so on. They're family but they're both a bit oblivious.

I think Heiter and Eisen were so adamant about sending Frieren to Aureole because they wanted her to have some closure with Himmel, and if anything, to bid him a proper farewell. It's totally possible Aureole isn't even real but if she indeed gets the chance to speak with Himmel, it will probably only be about those things she regrets not saying when he was alive. Romance is out of the question, he's not coming back from the dead. And yeah, so far the anime has covered the first 60 chapters of the manga which is still ongoing and currently 131 chapters long.

Frieren's earrings are a keepsake from her master.😂

"I wouldn't have been able to see this sunrise if I'd been on my own" Himmel understood her :)

One thing I recommend without giving any spoilers is to enjoy it a little better try to watch episodes 8-9-10 at the same time, even if you release it later for a better enjoyment overall.

I just have to say that you two have great chemistry in discussing what you think about these shows. The conversations are genuine, and it really feels like you aren't reacting or choosing topics just because you know the camera is there. That's rare and refreshing to see on RU-vid. Most reactor channels can't get away with just letting things happen as they happen, but you two are naturals at keeping things interesting, and the editing choices seem well done to keep the pacing brisk but digestible as well. You have fun watching these shows, and that really comes through on screen to your audience. So keep up the good work!

Just subbed to see your reactions to the rest of Frieren. The timing of this upload is impeccable

Fabulous! Fireren Friday!!! And Flamme the Legendary Mage was Frieren's master a thousand years ago??? Whoa! That was such a great moment when you find out and you see Flamme planting the tree. Flamme is eihter a very good study of people or she has some seeing powers. It'll have a second season. The show's too popular not to.

And with that, the premise is laid out and our adventurers set out 🫡 Love your reactions ❤

With Frieren sometimes you can tell how ancient she is, but at the same time you feel how relatively young she actually is for her kind...

10 bucks says Himmel was the Fern-level of caring for Frieren to wake her up in the mornings. Can totally see him brush her hair lol Also when Frieren opened that chest on the pirate ship is a pretty rare sight. She usually has horrible luck with those kind of things.

One point: the whole journey took 10 years, going and coming . As you'll see, the party does a lot of side quests as they go along and, maybe, as they come back.

I love the piano music at 7:32, it plays during two other scenes in the season, which are kind a sweet and emotional

It's not specifically pointed out, but Frieren is wearing Flamme's earrings.

The music is bt Evan Call. He also did the music for Violet Evergarden.

This anime is going to get even deeper, so enjoy it and pay attention to all the details and environments. Love your reaction and discussion guys

I love the phrase "emotional potential energy". That's such a good phrase to use to describe how this show does what it does. Each episode is all about the strategic slow build-up and sudden release of emotional potential energy. Maybe that's why you're so nervous about reaching the destination. If they can build up this much emotional potential energy in one episode, what can they do over an entire season or several?

I said it before and I'll say it again: you guys have great chemistry. Happy to find this channel!

Thank you for sharing😊

"It was a mere ten-year adventure" and " It'll be a mere ten-year adventure" are light years apart on what it means to Frieren now!

Ever since the flower field scene where Eisen and Heiter are unabashedly frolicking in the field together, I have loved the relationship between them. Also Eisen is just plain cute.

This season only covers a little less than half of the current Manga. The story arcs get longer over time as they head north. There's far more danger and trials as they travel north. This is still a Heroes journey, it's just that Frieren didn't learn the lessons important for a Heroes journey her first trip, so she has to go on the Heroes journey again.

It's not what you do that matters, it's who you do it with.

I love Flamme so much. She practically gives Frieren a second chance. I have few regrets. Wish for a second chance as well. Which is not gonna happen.

Just subbed because both of you are the most invested and thoughtful about this show I have seen anybody yet, I highly recommend checking out Dungeon Meshi after Frieren as both have similarly stellar character writing, and one could argue that Dungeon Meshi has even better character designs and world building.

22:25 Frieren may sound inadvertently callous or cold, which is fitting, as her name means “freezing.” ^_^

The anime has covered roughly 60 chapters out of 130, and the manga is still on going once the mangaka returns from going on an indefinite hiatus

I think the "mere 10 year adventure" has changed meaning for Frieren. She used to say it with indifference, and now she says it with a soft smile. I think a mere 10 years used to mean that it was too short to matter when you live for thousands of years, and now with her experience, she thinks it is too short and that's a shame because she wants to make the most out of it.

If you do decide to make a patreon then I wanna be your first subscriber ;). If not then thats cool too and just enjoy your reactions here ^^. (Not forcing or trying to force you, just making that clear!) Also, Eisen is such a amazing character, he doesn't say much, but he has some of the best lines in the serie.

I really miss Frieren fridays 😔

really loving your frieren reactions. Another anime you both should check out eventually is Apothecary Diaries.

I think the journey it self is "a talk to the dead" itself. it's more convenient that way.

You're gonna see a TON of comments about it but just FYI, HIMmel the Hero is HIM.

There is only one season at this time. No second season has been announced.

The 1st season i think only covered the first few volumes of the manga. There is plenty of content remaining for a 2nd season. The 2nd season hasnt been confirmed but considering this series is currently the highest rated anime of all time on "MyAnimeList" means more than likely it will get another season

I recommend vinland saga.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa～ A story that makes you want to breathe properly."

@22:18 not trying to put words in your mouth but 'cavalier' perhaps?

Imagine knowing someone who lived 1000 years ago. For reference, 1000 years ago was before the invention of the Printing Press. Not the Gutenberg one, it was before even the Chinese invented theirs!
