The best thing about magic in this series compared to others is that the Author focuses on how many spells have almost entirely sentimental value and nothing else. Bird catching ring finding Field of flowers Statue restoration Photo's I mean they show plenty of offensive magic also. But Fri is finding these weird and oddly personal spells in mimics and stuff in her various travels over the years. Doesn't it not beg the question of WHY? why so many hidden spells have no real combat value? Why and who made them? It makes the world feel so rich to know that magic has such a personal nature to it.

Win #607 is partially correct. While it is the same song, the ED is using a different part of the song with different lyrics. Its also kind of a reply to the first ED. Where the first one started with "Are you alright? Can you hear me?", the second ED starts with "Yeah I'm alright, I can hear you". Its really beautiful once you notice it and definitely didn't lead to any tears

Apparently the 1st class mage exam is one of the "weaker" arcs according to manga fans, and I think it's because it takes a decently large departure from the story thus far. However, for me, I really love this arc. It has a TREMENDOUS amount of world building and lore, particularly around how magic works, how it's used, and what it can do. More than that, though, it shows that this story has a lot of breadth in the types of stories it can tell. Yes, this arc is a departure from what we've seen thus far, yet the fact that they're able to tell it in such a compelling, interesting, and fun way is a testament to both the source material and the production team behind the anime.

@ethermelt4780 10 ай бұрын

The only thing I disliked about the mage exam arc was the time spent giving history and personality and backstory to side-characters that serve no relevance to the overarching plot or the central themes of the show. "Why should I waste my time watching random mage 5 fight random mage 6 for three episodes strait when none of it affects Frieren or Fern at all?" Is the thought process early in the arc when they take so long to reveal the story.

@TheClosetPanda 10 ай бұрын

@@ethermelt4780 While it seems like an unnecessary amount of time and resources to allocate to side characters, in retrospect it should make more sense. A lot of the characters introduced during this arc are relevant in the story going forward (either directly or indirectly), so being able to cram in so much characterisation during the exam arc gives more breathing room to the meat of the content they are involved in later on. The story (at least where it is up to in the manga so far) has demonstrated that the side characters' development here hasn't gone to waste. I did find the pacing of the first and second exam a little drawn out, but in any case I think it's better they overdeveloped rather than underdeveloped their side characters.

@jeffreymeehan3567 8 ай бұрын

I have to vehemently disagree that the backstory and characterization of these side characters are somehow not relevant to the overarching plot or central themes of the show. Meeting random people and helping/interacting with them IS the central plot of the show, in case you haven't noticed. Further, the various differences and similarities in which people live and experience life and finding meaning, beauty, and worth in all of it is one of the major central themes of the story. If anything, the fact that so many top-tier mages had such varied, distinct, and unique understandings and takes on magic was a major world building point in and of itself.

@Anarkey 10 ай бұрын

The music chosen here was very deliberate, not surprising when the composer is Evan Call, who also composed for Violet Evergarden. He scored this anime like a film score which means he compose after watching the scenes. It's very different from other anime where usually the composer is given instructions by the anime studio and director and the music is composed accordingly. This is the reason why the music fits perfectly well with the anime scenes because it was created to enhance and add to the scenes instead as an afterthought.

I love that the title for episode 17 works for both halves. "Take care" is in goodbye but also "take care" as in to look after someone. When I first met him, Denken was honestly the scariest character based on how quickly he figured out Frieren's plan.

@Sgt_SealCluber 10 ай бұрын

So the speculation around the reason why the X number of years since the passing of Himmel is specifically from then is that the demons where that afraid of the hero. In Wirbel's flashback he talks about how demon activity suddenly increased 29 years ago and wouldn't you know it it's been 29 years since Himmel passed.

@Amphetere 10 ай бұрын

Episode 15 was one of my favorites. Many shows have an episode or two, or an arc where someone poses as someone else in a similar manner. They always seem to put in some big twist or try to push the anxiety of "what if they're caught" situations. With Frieren, however, everything goes perfectly as planned. There isn't any significant stress put on the whole imposter situation. Instead, the episode focuses on realistic themes of regret, support, and moving forward. The main twist is the care the duke has for his remaining son, and even Stark despite the cold initial reception. If everything didn't go according to plan, there would be an awkward distraction from the beautiful stories and lessons involved. 10/10 episode for me.

Some of my own favourites that I would have given a win: Sein saying "just start dating already" about Fern and Stark. He, too, sees that young love and just wants them to be happy together. Himmel's reaction to the old dwarf, reaffirming his decision to stay for his long-dead wife. I think it's hinting at a reason why Himmel never asked Frieren to stay with him: He didn't want another long-life person stuck in the past after he died.

I swear I'm just obsessed with Kanne and Lawine. Their love-hate relationship on top of them just constantly attacking each other is hilarious, especially when included in background shots. Lawine's cool demeanor balances out Kanne's lively personality, and their powers complimenting each other makes them a perfect package deal. I really hope we see them again in season 2.
