bro I'm so sad, the voices won't stop, they keep getting louder, I can hear them now "Frierennnn, Frierennnnn Episode Twenty Twooooooooooo". PLEASE! PLEASE MAKE THE VOICES STOP!

JadonTheEternal

Have you ever gotten a notification, hoping it was something, but when you look at it, it's irrelevant and meaningless? All of the joy and excitement you felt has been violently removed from your existence? I no longer wish to be controlled. Will I ever be free? I say this as I look at my monitor, no longer refreshing the page. My throat dry, my eyes watering, my hands shaking, my stomach grumbling, and my body cold as I just stare into oblivion. I then ask myself, "What crime or mistake have I committed in a past life to be inflicted with this level of torture and suffering?" No response. I feel the walls closing in. Even breathing is starting to become suffocating. My senses have all dulled. I can no longer feel or see anything. All I can hear is my heartbeat slowly fading. My time has come. I can finally see it... McKay's bald head. Shining like the sun. Oh, how warm the light feels on my skin. The light refracts in gentle waves, bending reality itself. Terrifyingly powerful, yet so calming. I feel my body being pulled towards that glow, like the universe itself is guiding me to tranquility. As I approach, I am able to see that the shining surface of his bald head. It's reflecting nothing, but everything at the same time. I have transcended and now enlightened. All my worries, my panic, my endless anticipation have vanished. All I feel now is comfort, peace, and... freedom.

The fight would've been too sad. Watching an old man and his partner beat two broken men to death.

marco

Denken put the beaters on em

Earthshatter

liking something more is being a hater now?

432 hertz

This was a great episode! I love how Frieren blasted the barrier. Denken is such a great character. I love how he doesn't give up. I would have liked to have seen the fist fight. Excited for the next episode!

Jenny D

Why is Mckay such a Solo leveling hater, when season 2 aired you called literally every Episode Peak 🤷‍♂️

n Ferrante

I really love how easily Frieren took Kanne and Lawine under her wing despite her complaints and I love her as a mentor. She never fights her mentees’ battles for them but she also doesn’t leave them to struggle unnecessarily if she can help it. I think this series does teachers really well in general Also, not only was Denken brawling for that stille great, I like that he gave that failing party a chance to fight for it a little longer. I agree with Denken—it wouldn’t matter to me that I’d be failing regardless. If someone in my group died for it I’d feel wretched just handing some other party a freebie

Kael

guys when are you dropping last episode of stranger things?!?!

User1

At least y’all still can watch the vigilante anime.

Donduh343

Lmao where did Mckay get isekai from, he prob relates fantasy with isekai. Also Frieren started serialization in the Weekly Shonen sunday mag so its a Shonen anime. Shonen is moreso a demographic than a genre, which has a lot of mangas from so many different genres, romance, action, mystery, sci-fi, sports, fantasy, etc etc

InitialD

Animation is very clean and crisp in this anime!

Donduh343

I wish we saw the fist fight! But Frieren breaking the barrier was peaakkkk! Y’all called it!

Dub_quinn

Way older

Nasty

i'm so curious to see where frieren ranks in this years ranking shows video! specially for cannon

beannie

mr catch these hands🙏 i love denkens character, and i could watch 10 hours of frieren aura farming, istg

beannie

You are correct, but there is "battle shounen" as like a pop culture genre made by the fans. But you are correct about it's actual definition. But we make the rules when it comes to language anyway lol

Zess

Richter would also just make the cliff he made protrude out and hit them, and now they gotta make sure gravity doesnt kill them if they do get hit lol but going higher probably isnt a bad strat.

Zess

Serie is 100% way older than frieren. Even kraft is older than frieren

Dingo

When the reaction started with him predicting the barrier getting destroyed by Frieren lmao

Aaron Ly

Robert L

Ok lets go!!!!!!

corLeonis

peakpeakpeakpeak

Liptrouski

Serie is indeed voiced by Killua's VA

Desi

probably age like Viltrumites

rayman

My guess is 10,000 as the Elve’s lifespan; 100x of a humans. And I think frieren is around 2000 years old(20yo human body progression), which could work as frieren looked the same 1000 years ago when she met flamme which she would have a body of a 10yo human which she did look like and some women can look like that at 20. A bit of throw guess from me

Marcus D

Right! I wish they would tell us when they aren’t dropping them so I’m not waiting all day like a sad dog

Sydney（＾ω＾）

Shounen isn't a genre, its just a demographic. Even as recently as the beginning of this reaction series, I used to make the mistake of thinking that it was more of a genre or category, since a lot of anime websites present it as such. However, the only thing that determines what is shounen, seinen, etc, is simply what type of magazine its published in. Its really the genre and themes that are important. So don't put too much weight on whether or not a certain manga/anime should be in a certain demographic, because as I've learned it honestly doesn't matter.

Enma

Also Himeno from CSM and young Gojo

Marcus D

I love how hyped Cannon gets!!

Kyle

My guess is elves live to like ~5k years... I assume Frieren is like ~1200 years old right now (met Flamme ~1000 years ago, but had already been alive for some time at that point but still a "child elf"). Serie has probably lived at least another 800-1000 years over Frieren, given she has collected all spells known to mankind, and Frieren isn't even close as she continues to look for spells even though she's been alive this long. Also since Kraft sees Frieren as someone relatively "young", it's as if he's referring to Frieren as someone in her 20-30s equivalent in human years

PT21

If you freeze frame the Green flashes during Frierens takedown of the barrier, you get images of Serie and a young Frieren. They really but some love into this anime Kraft is also older than Frieren

Christian R Lewis-Batista

FACT: Denken means “I’m okay with killing two young girls” in German

Black Lung Sanji

while all the other mages were out for glory frieren was in the gym pumping iron

TRILLHO

when will they release Stranger things final ?

Erdanxela

Serie is def older than Frieren.

Kae D. en

frieren is a shounen lol

justin

On Serie's "burning ambition" comment regarding Frieren - any mage with great ambition wouldn't turn down that kind of offer because getting whatever spell they want would be a huge help in fulfilling that ambition. A really driven person with a singular goal in mind would have a spell in mind to suit that goal, but that's because they view magic as just a tool to other ends. Frieren, on the other hand, just loves magic. It's not a tool to a particular end, it's basically just her passion/hobby. She may have gone on to defeat the Demon King, but that was something she was roped into by Himmel and almost rejected had it not been for Himmel happening to say the same exact thing Frieren said to Flamme 1000 years prior. Aside from that, she just walks the land, collects spells, and generally keeps a low profile to the point that she isn't well known by contemporary mages. She just doesn't have a burning ambition and that's why Serie dismisses her. Ironically, that lack of ambition is why she could defeat the Demon King. Demons knew almost nothing about her then (and still know very little now), so she was something they couldn't plan for. That's literally how she beat Aura - Aura had no idea how old Frieren was and that made her grossly misjudge her mana pool and experience, along with Frieren's mana suppression. Her low profile and peaceful nature have hidden what a real monster Frieren is.

Sky

The true anime of the year

Fernando

Denken is such an OG, no mana? Time to throw hands lol

Green Buff

i actually really like the way it couldve been done as canon described. denken says he likes magic for the chase. frieren says smth like "ah, i see you're a man of good taste". she does her thing, serie says "thats how you say hello after a thousand years?" then the beginning of the next episode, they show frieren and serie meeting, and frieren says she likes magic for the chase, and it both answers a burning question in a very satisfying way AND the parallel wouldnt feel as... spelled out for you? sometimes the way this show delivers its parallels can feel kinda, "get it? cause himmel said the exact same thing in the exact same place? get it? isnt that cool?" i love it but yeah lmao

freecostco

Calling an actual fantasy anime/manga like Frieren an "Isekai" is either braindead or ragebait I can't tell which.

Totenkreuz

You're cooking

Bisky

Maybe it is simply he doesn't want to hire a first-class mage every time he wants to see the grave. Or he wants the freedom to travel there as he wishes.

Jaydashed

One thing I don’t understand is, why does Denken feel the need to become a first class mage just to travel North? He obviously has the wealth to just hire one if all he wanted was to visit a grave. Seems to me like there is more to it.🤔

Riksu

Tolkein Elves: By their first year, Elf children can speak, walk, and dance, and their quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are. Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly. In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill, whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature. Physical puberty is generally complete by their fiftieth year (by age fifty they reach their adult height), but they are not considered full-grown until a hundred years have passed.

Garreth

I think of the peaceful era thing as just another part of everything else they were saying about visualization. If you can't visualize a peaceful era, and you think killing the demon king will bring about a peaceful era, then you can't fully visualize a spell to kill the demon king. Like Richter said about the bluff of controlling the water in his body, if it can't be visualized then it can't be done. Doesn't mean someone else can't, but just you can't cast the spell yourself without the full visualization.

Joseph Eckert

Serie is voiced by Killua!

Nicholas Alexander Rude

Denken will really beat your ass. Respect

DCMH

Also I’m sure they age. Life span are just super long. I also think maybe elves can be petit in this verse? And maybe that’s a factor to why they look so young. They probably only really “mature”, like think a 25-30 year old person compared to a teenager. You definitely age different and your body changes even going from a young adult to late 20s/30s. So for the elves they’ll look like there teens/early twenties for centuries. Maybe they age somewhat normal and then during puberty slow down. I can’t imagine a toddler elf for like 300 years 😂

Chrissy

I love how well rounded these characters are and how quickly you become interested/attached in such a short time. It’s so good. I think it’s true to life as well. There’s been so many people I’ve met and while time goes on and maybe you never see them again, it’s so cool to meet and talk with people and become interested in other humans. Everyone truly is unique. And I think that real life aspect is represented so well in this show.

I respect Denken so much when he put up his dukes and threw down when it was needed. One of my favorite scenes in the whole show.

i also don't want this season to end lmao bc now we have to wait for s2 and week-to-week episodes lmaoo but ugh this show is really so good i cant believe i hadn't watched it before but glad im doing it with you guys

This episode is one of my favorite of the whole show. The way Frieren just randomly decides to aura farm never gets old.

Jmann

Denken really said these hands don’t cost any mana loool Also, apparently when Frieren is casting the spell to break the barrier there is an impact frame in which everything turns white, except for a silhouette of elf, but instead Frieren it’s actually Serie which is interesting.

Daniella

WATCH VIKINGS

Nicholas Alexander Rude

I get you guys probably aren't going to change how you pronounce it, but it's pronounced "Veer-bell" because W is pronounced like V in German and some other European langauges.

marco

Make sure to go back and find the impact frame when Frieren casts the counter spell

Ryan O

One thing we got that hints towards elves aging is Kraft calling Frieren "still young"

Floop

Serie is a fascinating character and the upcoming episodes prove it in my opinion.

Stephanos Stavrou

One of my fav episodes. The barrier breaking animation was so damn cool. And the music in this ep! Frieren, the great aura farmer. Cannon had some great points! I still think they cooked with how they handle the flashbacks and lore, but your way would have been interesting as well. Could be a good writer 😉

Benny

Denken is so cool. I love his determination, absolutely refuses to give up. 💖

I just love every character in this show

Why is Jack such a hater lol

Poragami

I can see how every single one of you is enjoying the heck out of this show and I'm so happy!!!

Pudding

I love the reason why frieren broke the barrier was just to give her teammate a chance to use their own specialty magic. It wasnt even to show off or anything. It's why she was confident her teammates could beat that guy and even praised them after. Frieren from the Himmel era wasn't that thoughtful, his death really changed her in those subtle ways.

misa

Yes ma’am!

Cannon Andrus

It’s not even malice, it’s just their nature. Malice is an emotion, and they don’t really experience those. It’ll be explained further

I assume you finished or are about to finish the season, so you should watch the trailer for the 2nd season. It looks pretty cool !

Peak arc, ohh I can't wait for the reactions to these last few episodes 😆!

Iris

I really liked when you pointed out that in many other shonen, a character like Serie would just be a typical antagonist. But Frieren makes a real effort to show, even in a short amount of time, that its characters are multi-layered individuals rather than simple tropes. They have backstories that shape their goals and behavior, and not many writers can pull that off. In any medium. It’s refreshing to see. It also highlights a sharp contrast between the humanoid characters in Frieren and the demons, who really are portrayed as evil for evil’s sake. No hidden motives, no tragic pasts, just pure malice.

Serie is probably older than Frieren, based on the way she speaks to her. In Japanese, you use different grammar and speech depending on who you're talking to (whether they’re older, younger, a senior etc.). Serie talks to Frieren as if she’s a child, similar to how Kraft addresses her. Frieren's world (like many Demon King animes) is inspired by RPG/DnD games. Elves aren't immortal. They age. Just slower. Similar to Gnomes or Giants sometimes. So maybe a 1000 years in Elf years is like 20 human years. Who knows.

I’ve seen this episode countless times, and I still get chills every time Frieren shatters the barrier

“Even if the world were turned upside down.” The epic music. Frieren casually shattering the barrier. Full. Body. Chills.

Frieren being a boss using basic spells and not even trying. Just remember, we’ve never seen her bloodlusted or go at full force.

Look at cannon with the predictions this episode!
