    I liked the first few episodes because it put a spin on the generic fantasy genre. A mage elf exploring what death means after their big adventure is already over and all her team members are dying is a plot point with a lot of possibilities.

    They also did fairly well in the first episodes with Frieren being introduced as the introverted detached type, slowly regretting how detached from her party she was back then, not realizing that they will be gone long before her.

    Unfortunately it spins into generic fantasy fairly quickly. Still decent but I feel like the main plot point was lost somewhere after the first few episodes and we got too much of “overpowered main character does stuff” already.







  • But then I reached the chapter where Yuri had dinner with them and I reached a speed bump. I just finished the chapter where he helped Anya study and hit it again. She’d 100% find the character gross.

    In a similar notion of strange things in a overall good show: There’s an episode in season 2 that is surprisingly gory considering the show was fairly kid friendly up until that point.

    Not that I mind but I definitely wouldn’t recommend the show for kids anymore.
