I got chills with Frieren breaking the barrier. Man I was not expecting Denkin to be as cool as he is. He’s not in it for power or wealth (though he does have that), just for the love of magic. If he does become a first class mage he might be the second person ever to just turn down getting a spell. But that’s because he already knows the the most powerful spell of all… “fist to the face”.
ngl they got me good with Denken. He was introduced as someone with power and plotting something but in the end he just wants to find new spells and go back home. He's ready to fight Frieren knowing who she is and even without mana he's ready for a fist fight. He's a fucking badass!!! - Frieren meeting Serie is amazing, it shows Frieren is even younger than Serie. - Frieren destroying Denken and the barrier was so good, with the proctor repeating the barrier cannot be destroyed lol - Sense sensing Frieren analysing the barrier and knowing it's going to break makes me think she's more powerful than the proctor. - WE MUST RESIST THE URGE TO READ THE MANGA I'M WITH YOU FAROH!!! This anime definitely is also my favorite. Each episode is a treat!
If you notice, most of the experienced mages are stoic and never show much emotion. This is because their fluctuating emotions affect their mana and how it's read by the enemy like what Lawine did when the barrier broke, giving them an opening.
I think it's the only show that makes you this emotional and you have a genuinely strong emotional connection with, it's so touching your voice shakes it's beautiful
I really like the theme of the magic. “You can only accomplish what you can visualize.” Unlike Flamme or the that head elf, Frieren could visualize a peaceful era making her the only one capable of defeating the demon king and achieving it. Idk I just really like that
@@farohreactsto be honest current era Frieren is definitely stronger than flamme but serie is definitely alot more stronger as it is stated that frieren will need to train for thousands of years to even stand a chance against serie.....
I totally agree, Frieren will be, for sure, one of my favorite shows ever. This episode was so good, it had emotion, nostalgia, great dialogue and character building, but also awesome action. She's definitely one of the coolest characters ever 🙂
Having Frieren refuse Serie's privilege is amazing storytelling. It was so easy to assume after hearing about it and having Serie referred to as a "living Grimoire" that of course Frieren would absolutely want it, given her established love for finding Grimoires and new magic spells. But having Frieren refuse it, and for this reason, not only subverts audience expectation in a rather delightful way, it adds a great deal of additional nuance to Frieren's characterization.
no it doesn't. We expect Frieren to not accept it. Her characterization and early love for magic and conviction of finding spells way before Flamme, means so much because this show is so good a letting you know that characters are their own already. Frieren has only gone through character development during her adventure with Himmel and now Fern and Stark. We consistently see her make selfish but conscientious decisions. She does things for herself. Even wanting to help people because Himmel helped her. All of these things are her choices. There is no subverting expectations but it reinforces all the times Frieren does things for herself.
The one thing this show is that it is honest. There's no plot twists or hidden meaning. Every new episode adds depth to previous ones but I wouldn't go so far as to say subverting.
For some oddly reason, everytime Frieren with Flamme bring tears to my eyes... Every freaking time 🤌 The way Flamme stand so proud of Frieren... I want more Frieren with Flamme 😭😭 also the way Frieren break the barrier and Denken start to fist fight is chef kiss for me.. *Hi, it's my first time (might be the last one too, I'm not good with leaving comments. Sorry😅)comment on your channel. I love on how you react to each video, the energy is so great. Sorry for the bad(?) language.. English wasn't my first language
I kind of hope that the élf extinction is just false news to defend against the demon's campaign to kill them all. After a while I would expect them to retaliate or just hide as best they can, scatter, and be hard to find even for other elves.
Apparently the Continental Magic Association doesn't believe in honorary certifications. Killing the demon king doesn't matter - Frieren still has to pass the test.
The thing that stood out to me (as an online fan-translation manga reader who knows where the story is going) is the editing to the introduction of this episode. when the narrative gets back to Frieren and her team, it begins with Genau unleashing his earth-bending powers in a quick recap of where the last episode ended (which is not unusual). What did surprise me, however, was that they entirely reanimated the scene from Genau's perspective! and it wasn't a cheap or easy reanimation either, it was frickin' incredible... and the episode only got better from there. I agree with every reviewer I've watched regarding this show: there isn't a thing I would change.
There is 0%%%% chance I can last and wait to watch the entire anime. As soon as this season is done, I'm diving head first into the manga like i've never done before lol. This is also my favorite anime of all time now. It's just perfect.
I already did this and it just keeps getting better and better, more emotional and more emotional. If the anime keeps being this high quality for future seasons, it'll be remembered amongst the best.
I thought about it too, but it's a no for me. The best parts in my opinion are the beautiful/ colourful scenery and the chill conversations/ music. Both are missing in the manga.
This anime series is so hyped, and I'm really enjoying your reactions to it, #farohreacts. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this episode, and I'm still supporting you because your anime content is absolutely amazing.
Nah I understand you, this and bochi the rock just makes me feel so emotional Saying that these 2 for me are the best anime makes me sound like a casual, but for me they truly are. No other anime made me stay up all night waiting for the episode to come out and wait for reactions on RU-vid. This is me talking as a fate nerd
Same for me, I constantly looking for reaction videos of these 2 anime, and both are directed by Keiichiro Saitou, dude's fairly young but is cooking so hard
man i watched 2 episodes or maybe 3 i don't remember of bochi and i didn't like it ngl, i didn't vibe with it, frieren on the other hand made me cry laugh hype intrigued etc all the right emotions like watching a grand movie.
@@bruh-bd3ll episode 5 was the start of the actual hype But these 2 are extremely different. Frieren is an action and slice of life in one. Bochi is slice of life first then cute girls doing cute things 2nd then character development, next
This show is full of surprises. I was not expecting it to become one of my favorites shows ever, it did. I was not expecting to cry so much watching this anime, I did. And last but not least, I was not expecting to like Denken so much, and I do! To be fair, one of the rules of anime is "old men are cool and wise". Frieren's and Denken's mentality of: "the joy of magic is in sesrching for new spells to learn" (or something like that) reminded me so much of the way I'm always looking for new skills to learn. I couldn't stop smiling during that scene.
Dont know if anybody already said this, but all the names are german. Frieren = frozen Kraft = power Fern = far away Stark = strenght Himmel = sky Denken = thinking Macht = might Eisen = iron Flamme = flame Heiter = happy Voll = full Lügner = liar Übel = evil/foul
I don't think most women are able to understand. Stark can be missing them, but at the same time can be so happy they are not there. Or maybe they can. A mother can love and miss her children, but be overjoyed with getting a few days to herself without them.
What I love about this show is their realistic representation of magic like how magic can evolve and how some that was considered strong in the past can be weak in the future. Another thing is i love that they showing how Frieren is growing and how she has a clumsy side to her as well because in elf years shes basically a teen going to adulthood now and how she’s showing more compassion. ughhhh i just love this masterpiece so much
That was my thoughts too with this episode. Is frieren looking for all of those spells because she looked up to that elf’s ambitions or wtv? I’m very curious, and flamme also said that elf couldn’t defeat the demon king because they seek battle/war? I hope we get a few more episodes. I don’t want to have to wait until season 2 so soon (I’d assume there would be a second season?)
Faroh, if after the season ends you decide to read the manga, please do manga reactions 🤩 if this is already your favorite show of all time, then I'm glad to say to you the manga keeps getting even better. The latest 2 big arcs of the manga are considered by the fandom as the best ones of the entire series, and the new arc that we're just starting is already shaping up to be amazing as well!
Stark basically being married to Fern has me laughing. And with Grandma Frieren on their heels. Seriously though this episode was awesome. The barrier break was great and Sierie being upset this is how she comes to say hello ... lol. I do like how Denken and Frieren think about spells. But to throw hands is going to be fun to see!!
Haha I broke down and had to read the manga through this arc! I’m with you on this show being my favorite all time. Stay strong and try not to read the manga, I like your genuine reactions and analysis
Just read the Manga from the beginning after the anime ends. There is enough Manga right now for another 24 episodes though. So in another year or two hopefully they'll do another 24 episodes
I'm glad you like Frieren. Denken is the Goat. I normally just lurk and watch but since you said about how you like Frieren wanted to recommend two other great fantasy manga/anime that in the same boat with it. People often combine these in the fantasy trio. Check them out if you have interest. On camera or off doesn't matter to me. I just want more people to know about them. First is Dungeon Meshi (or Delicious in Dungeon). Anime adaptation by Trigger is started this season. Manga is finished. The best way to tldr describe it is "If D&D obsessed biologist wrote heartfelt dungeon crawling story". Ryoko Kui is a very creative mangaka in the world building and character dising fields. A lot of people are very much in love with this manga and her (mangaka's) sense of humor. I like her art a lot. It starts as a cooking show about dungeon's ecosystem with one story hook and eventually it's getting more and more complicated in a good way. If you'll decided to watch it suggest to read it at the same time, because of the volume extras and chapter covers (they are gorgeous to look at). Second is Witch Hut Atelier. The anime adaptation was announced for two years now, so i don't know what's up with that. But it's a manga with one of the best paneling in the industry right now. The art is very whimsical. Has and interesting magic system. Don't want to spoil this one so i will right why i like this one. The magic system is heavily connected with the theme of an artist. All the emotional scenes are can be interpreted with this angle and so i connected with the manga a lot. I am sorry, rambling too much. I don't know if what i wrote is actually make sense. It's my second language and I am puzzled a little... Hope you'll get what I meen. Characters in the WHA are very adorable and sweet. Shirahama Kamome has a one shot called "My little Noir". Short one about lost cat. You can check this one to see what her art and paneling looks like. Sorry for rambling. Just thought it would be something you'll like. Thank you for Frieren reactions.
As someone who has read the manga, I can only say there is a reason Frieren isn't being fast-tracked to First Class Mage status, and in hindsight it's such a great bit of storytelling.
It's not really a spoiler, though. People who think Frieren should just be made 1st Class immediately say that because they think she's so great and impressive, which she is, but not to Serie. And since Serie's opinion is the one who matters most (if not the only one who actually matters), Frieren is just going to have to go through the process like everyone else 🤷🏾♀️
How ironic of richter to mock kanne for being useless without water when he himself is useless without soil. Then suddenly homeboy got clapped when it started raining
Defeating the Demon King doesn't help anything anyway since I don't think they care about her honorable past especially with Serie the founder. That one could just clap her and chase Frieren out of her place😂 . So, trying to use that great mage thing with Serie might be the fastest way to failed the exam.
Kraft is a hero from the Mythical Era, when the Goddess still walked the planet. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say Kraft is the oldest elf we've seen so far.
14:43 thats a nice theory but Frieren has a far higher chance of dying first . I get that ur obviously talking about dying of old age but im saying Frieren fights alot of battles and even tho shes the Mcs the series could just end with her finally dying after enjoying her life
19:44 thats wrong . Frieren would lose to one of the mages thats part of the test. Honestly its the other way around 😭 she wont stand a chance against him
