When The Author Understands Grief

[@GiveMeYoSammich]

People saying the farmland arc is boring need to understand this isn't a battle shonin, its a story. A story thats deep and complex and has meaning and isn't like your typical trash isekai to watch drunk.

[@jasonryan2545]

YES, ITS HERE! Speaking of my own opinion for a bit, I watched Vinland Saga because it was one of a plethora of shows a friend of mine watched from the 'seinen' genre. I wasn't aware of the representation of this word or the debate around it until then, and had almost passed it off as something i wouldnt watch. Fast forwarding a bit, Vinland Saga is one of the most (alongside fma and fmab) pristine exemplifications of human nature and the devotion an author has given to their work that it feels heavily surreal to be a part of the ride. Thank you T.R! ❤🎉

[@tyronsredux]

This was beautifully written man, I'm glad your friend put you on to one of the most beautiully written series in the medium. I hope you've also picked up the manga because it is well worth the read🙏🏾 and thank you for enjoying the video💓

You didn't watch frieren if you came to the idea it told more then shown. All we see is her life and how poor choice made her regret not spending time with her short lived friends

[@ReyGarcia-z5r]

Frieren is very tell not show. At least compared to vinland saga and other philosophical-like animes. To begin with frieren has a very boring past and unless author does some type of frieren arc that takes place when she was 500yo or something that explain her characterfor the past 1,000 years it would probably remain that way. Every time i argue with a frieren fan I ask them why did frieren have a Huge change of heart on humans and life in general AFTER 1,000 years. All they say is “well because she set her new goal to be understand humans” Idk about you but that sounds very boring and almost robot like of a character. For someone to basically not have a care in the world, be very nonchalant, and simply have everything come of as easy or pointless her whole life and simply make a complete 360 on personality and beliefs AFTER 1000 YEARS, solely cuz she made a goal is very boring. Now I will say vinland and frieren have VERY different ways to tell a story and pretty much a completely different genre in general. Frieren has more comedic, and shonen-like story building. While Vinland focuses on philosophy, and truly understanding or at least a view the basis of war and trauma.

[@bananawithaknife]

​@@ReyGarcia-z5r Ironically the point of contention you have is the biggest point of "Show don't tell" from Frieren. She has ALWAYS cared but never realised it, ever since her meeting from Flamme. She grew flowers around Flamme's grave, She remembered and know a lot about Himmel's likes, dislikes, and way of thinking (showing us that she knows more about him than she believes she does), She remembers a lot about Volg. Heck, She grew flowers for Himmel when he was lost as kid purely just to cheer him up. The only difference between the Present Frieren and past Frieren is that now she's making more of a CONSCIOUS effort about it but that care and compassion has always been there. Serie is a perfect representation of how past Frieren acts. Serie while saying that her students are basically disposable, she remembers every single one their favorite spell and has never regretted teaching a sngle one of them.

[@ReyGarcia-z5r]

@@bananawithaknife while you do make a valid point. It is still comical that it took her 1,000 years to realize this. I’m sure the author was trying to make a funny silly moment so I won’t be too hard on it. But the fact she decided to start acting different because she had a new goal, and was basically bored of being bored for a millennium is hilarious. I mean author could have linked it to someone or something, or some event that affects her but nah, “lets try something new”. Sorry im not even arguing about “show don’t tell” anymore I just hate how frieren’s journey began after Himmel’s death.

[@bananawithaknife]

​@@ReyGarcia-z5r " I mean author could have linked it to someone or something, or some event that affects her" ...Himmel's death? Ok, this is to the point I actually have to ask this and I hate the fact that I have to. Did you actually watch any part of the show? This sounds like you only got the general story from hearsay. Her journey is literally about understanding Himmel better by retaking the journey she had with him and then meeting up with him again in the "heaven" of this universe as the end point. Also She's an Elf, her concept of time is very different to us. This is pretty much shown all throughout the show.

[@bananawithaknife]

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

Vinland saga was the first anime and manga I ever watched and read, starting from when season 2 came out. Only a year and a half but just thinking back to how a piece of literature could make me tear up when Thorfinn being dragged away after trying to attack Canute, his look of despair as his entire life purpose dies at the hands of another, when usually I’d feel completely emotionless while reading anything, it makes me so happy that I got over the phase of thinking anime was for weirdos

[@ИванПетров-э8с4ш]

@@ReyGarcia-z5r And? How is it «bad» in any terms? I get it if she's not show any emotion and instead just say this like «oh shit, i'm sad af» but in reality she's not. You know, people in real life also tell about they feelings when they sad, happy etc. «I hate this shit!», «God, this is so funny», «Wow, what a beautiful thing, i like it so much» -- i bet you hear people said this pretty often in real life. Saying «i wish i can know him better» after cried for you passed away friend is realistic and have nothing to do with bad storytelling. If you gonna nitpick that much then how about Vinland Saga? When Thorfin screams to Askellad «waaa, i'll kill you, waaa!» what is it if not «telling» instead of «showing»? Why he say that? Author thinks that we can't get his true feelings at that moment? But he's crying too just like Frieren did in her scene. Why is VS telling instead of showing? I hope you get that i exaggerate on purpose just to show how absurd this «show, don't tell» bias can be sometimes. If we continue this way we might get to the point when all words in movies and shows are «bad storytelling» and «oh, character said "i'm tired", what a shitty writing, stop telling things and just show them». I get that now everybody in the internet are self proclaimed critics and know everything about writing, storytelling and directing better than anybody else but... that's not true. If you wanna actually see what «telling instead of showing» means i suggest you check Tensura S3. After that you might get the true meaning of cinematography golden rule which both Frieren and Vinland Saga executed almost perfectly.

[@ReyGarcia-z5r]

@@ИванПетров-э8с4ш you know when the characters tell the audience something, its not that fuggin obvious right? She literally says what going on and that means the story is telling not showing. Ex: in the Mandalorian there is a scene where mando tells grogu all there is to know about a planet’s atmosphere, population etc. to let US the audience know what that planet is like wether its habitable etc. when the story is “telling” us something it does not mean that all characters immediately stop what they are doing and get into a nice professional setting and let us know the current events and why they are happening like its a meeting or sum. It can be indirect but its still telling not showing. Anime in general does this so its no surprise or shame that frieren does this

[@necrosteel5013]

I don't see pacifism as "being better in any sense". How i see violence is that it is just another action. Even the whole idea of "repressing emotions" is itself a perspective i disagree with, we are not just our emotions, we are our logic, sense of reason and our actual physical needs as a result. The reason emotions are seen as the core reason is because most people are too foolish to see people as more than mere emotions. The human mind is driven by goals, principles and emotions aren't the core but are a storm. Anger is emotion, it is used as a substitute for true purpose because one cannot convince others beyond the most shallow attempts to appeal to emotion, it's an empty and patronizing way to speak to those who actually experience such intense emotions without respite. There is a reason philosophical discussion and theological ideas exist, there is a reason pacifism is not the answer to most problems. There is a reason for as horrible war is and battle ends up being, that to not have the capacity to engage in such wanton destruction when it is actually needed would be a far worse fate to befall. Be ready for war, but never be driven by shallow and short-sighted thinking to enable it.

I absolutely HATE the line "I have no enemies," because that implies enemies are one sided from only one personal point of view. Just because you don't call or recognize someone as an enemy, doesn't mean they aren't. Just ask anyone who's been poisoned by their loved ones or attacked on the street for no reason. I just hate that line. It's so remarkably short sighted and egocentric, but when you're that emotionally and intellectually repressed by a life of violence and hate, I guess anyone could lack the greater Freudian superego awareness of how others might see or experience the world and your place in it.

[@Crime_Mime]

It runs much deeper than that. It sounds like you need to read some Stoicism or the Buddhist Dhammapada. Other people can think of themselves as your enemy all they like, but by feeding into that game you will find yourself ceaselessly dragged into all manner of conflict and hatred. You'll never stand a chance of finding any real spiritual peace by letting others tell you if you should hate them or not.
