Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - YOASOBI「勇者」BRAVE Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Opening

[@lindbloom7]

the anime is different with the common defeat the demon lord trope, its actually about what happens after they defeated them, you should try watching it, it's one of if not the best manga i've read

[@VerchielxKanda]

This series is about a long-lived elf dealing with not only the passing of her comrades, but also the passing of time as a whole. The manga is fucking beautiful and Madhouse did a wonderful job! Eisen is the dwarf's name. =)

[@derweeblord]

Just watched the first four episodes and was literally flashed. It was beautifully animated, storytelling-wise it catched me. Even I did not know much about her comrades the passing hit me hard but they got character development thanks to all those flashbacks throughout the first episodes. And those flashbacks let us understand why Frieren wants to gather all those spells throughout her journey. @JohnReavesLive: Just check it out, this anime could most likely win Anime of the Year so far.

[@kith6118]

It is more like she's trying to retrace her journey when she's with the hero's party because she realize that even she's with them for 10 years she didn't learn much about them because of her concept of time as an elf. To her 10 years feels like a day or 2 worth of stroll.

The anime is legit amazing, must watch!

[@padalee8406]

It’s a good one. The anime is fantastic.

[@smlemk42]

Apparently they dropped a 4 episodes set last week. I think they know fans will eat it up. The anime supposed to take a look at the meaning of life, centered on a near immortal elf girl while the person she kinda likes was a human and after passage of time that doesn't means too much to her but already a life time for the human priest as he passed away. I was too busy finishing up "Undead girl murder farce" (which have a pretty good op - by an up and coming kpop group and very nice ed song by Japanese-Amercian or Aussie (not sure which))

[@danielantony1882]

"Kinda" likes? Sure, bud. I guess ðat's what people say when your knowledge of Japanese is normal-level.

[@sleepfishl]

Now watch the show and then watch the Song with Lyrics again.

[@game-rlife2571]

As usual with Yoasobi music 😂

[@user-ch7pp8gm4n]

And tears...

[@Aka_Shou.]

The lyrics hits different when you're a manga reader, especially the part where they talk about "yuusha" (himmel) in the song. 😭

[@Werday-bv7eh]

3:09 unfortunately the best part was cut in the anime 😅

[@angeldavidpinango4914]

You really should use subtitles when listening to Yoasobi songs. listening to it without its meaning is a sin. It's like only hearing half the song.

[@faenethlorhalien]

I'm waiting to watch the anime, but I'm reading the manga translation of Frieren and it's one of the best manga I have read in decades. I love fantasy settings, but not those in isekai animes (in the end they're most harem fantasies that are way too comfortable within a set of tropes that I find boring), but no, Frieren is a legit good fantasy manga, with great script, great characters, interesting, fun, and it does not waste time with stupid tropes or fanservice.

[@faenethlorhalien]

Also Frieren is such a great character. I play ttrpgs and I like elves and I have always, in game, thought of some of the topics that this manga/anime deals with head on: the loss of those you love, the difficulty of building attachment to other people if you're pretty much immortal, and what time amounts to you as an elf. The character to me feels as if you mixed Ed from Cowboy Bebop, Nier, from Nier Under 7 (a little known manga/anime from the early 2000s), and you gave her xanax in vein to calm her down.

[@chemreal]

i honestly prefer the anime over manga, you don't get evan call and madhouse for nothing

[@Pavanchoudar]

React to the Ending too..its good

[@rbenusa]

Frieren really went all-in with the artists it got for its soundtrack. Yoasobi and Millet are two of the biggest jpop acts atm, and Millet hardly does anime tracks. TV shows, yeah, but I don't think she's done an anime song before this one.

[@longlehoang2556]

@@rbenusa Millet did several for Fate, Vinland saga and Demon Slayer

[@game-rlife2571]

Hey thanks for the reaction honestly I should’ve subscribed when you reacted to idol ❤

[@talkaboutrandon7870]

If you read the translation. Its like Freiren's perspective

[@kuon8405]

Please watch the anime! The anime is so perfect that it even surpasses the original manga. Knowing the story and understanding the meaning of the lyrics will double the appeal of the song. It's a waste not to know the lyrics.

[@MarcioHuser]

Dude... Why are you all reacting to Yuusha, from YOASOBI (opening), and leting behing Anytime Anywhere, from Milet (ending)? Dude, the opening is great, but you guys gotta also check out the ending, it is EPIC!! 😁😁

[@LordThunderVolt]

Opening is better

[@user-me9uo6lz3v]

説明が濃いreactorは沢山いるが、このchは全般的に良い意味で、楽しもうとする姿勢で、それはそれで趣味が良いと思う。あの最初のサビ前のピアノやテンポ変化を言葉の代わりに笑顔で評価するのは、決して悪い事ではない。 YOASOBI CORDSに戻ったが、そういうのは曲のコピー演奏を試すまで案外気が付かず、それよりも的確な効果に反応するのは案外正しいのか。この一年でP-GRAFFITI他、日本react増えて来た様に思えるので、プレイリストで検索簡単に出来る様に分けて欲しくはあるけれど、投稿動画多いから、無理は言いません

[@kee1pride31]

This anime is fantastic btw

[@christopherpage2622]

What's the source of the lofi ff7 main theme in the outro as one of the better ones ive heard

[@LegionzAnime]

This Anime is DEPRESSION lol. Be prepared if you watch it bro XD

[@North_wood]

Not really it's more of a bitter sweet felling

[@TheMateuszNH]

It's not depression, it's i would say RECONCILIATION.

[@yourmother3921]

People really don't understand the point of this anime do they

[@fvoarin1307]

@@yourmother3921 Without spoiling anything, they're completely correct. It's bittersweet, but the sweetness comes in the form of existential depression. People do get what the anime is going to be, even if they don't understand the details of how

[@SkyFall7788]

​@@yourmother3921 people understand it but not everyone can just accept sadness & still carry on.

[@user-lj6rc7sm5n]

Yuusha is not really a "brave man" (or god forbid, a "brave") although yes this term consists of these two characters. In Japanese RPG culture, the Yuusha is the special chosen one on whom everyone around entrusts their hopes and resources, who set out on his sole mission to defeat the final evil boss (a non-human being; could be a dragon or a demon lord etc. but for example not a hostile army). In this respect he is better called a "Champion." Calling him a hero / "Eiyuu" is a bit inaccurate as well because only after a champion succeeds he becomes a hero. For example in Frieren, multiple yuushas/champions set out to defeat the demon lord, but only Himmel eventually succeeded. He transformed from a Yuusha to an Eiyuu upon his success. OK, not too many care about this distinction... but calling a yuusha a "brave" is a Google machine translation. And by the way this OP really doesn't match Frieren's tone. Yoasobi should have tried harder. People in the US may not care but many in Asia have already expressed their strong negative views. It's like using EDM or Hiphop for Spirited Away.

[@danielantony1882]

勇者はチャンピオンではないと思う。勇者も英雄も両方がHeroの意味はあるなので。違いは、勇者は正式のタイトルであり、人を救うのは当然な義務。しかし、英雄は、真のHero。己の立場、状況の絶望、救うの可能性、その三つを無視して、ただ心から "助けたい、救いたい" と感じの望みため、全部捨てられ、人を無条件に助ける愚か者である。勇者は正式的にHeroかも知れないが、そのタイトルは消して英雄でもあると限らない。 少なくとも、それは俺のパターンを調べたあとの観察。

[@user-lj6rc7sm5n]

@@danielantony1882 Champion in this context does not refer to "the one that has won". He is "the chosen fighter" of the kingdom/village. Do not mix up yuusha and eiyu. Especially this particular manga makes a distinction between these two. Multiple yuushas set out. But only one became the eiyu.

The song on its own is great. But it REALLY doesn't fit the anime. So a lot of us don't like it as an opening for this specific anime It's like using one of these types of songs for, say, the Violet Evergarden opening. it wouldn't fit

[@danielantony1882]

It actually REALLY fits it. If you don't þink so, you simply misunderstand ðe anime.

[@NorthLights367]

It does fit the anime. Upbeat with bittersweet lyrics.
