I just want to highlight how formidable Qual was even though he's the 1st baddie, quickly eliminated, and used as a lesson for Fern. He was stuck for 80yrs while his spell was analyzed, countered and improved upon. But upon seeing Fern's 1st defensive shield, Qual was able to replicate it immediately and able to figure out its weakness. If Frieren wasn't strong enough to end him in 1 hit, if Frieren fired her improved Zoltraak but Qual survived, Qual would've figured out the new Zoltraak as well, and might figure out a weakness as well. Actually, as Qual was dying, he noticed something different about Frieren's Zoltraak.
yeah if Frieren and Fern wasn't there and he was given even a short time to see the change in magic in 80 year he would have become impossible to win just like he was 80 year before
I love this comment, which highlighted how much of a genius Qual was, the instant replication of the defensive spell, the instant recognition of its weakness, and the next course of action he would take, which Frieren predicted based on how beforehand thats what was practiced with Fern and how you pointed out that it is implied how much Frieren acknowledges how much of a threat Qual at that time, so killing him instantly was the right move bc of his talents as a Genius mage... I mean, what we know now, and how Frieren described how hard and difficult she and the party heroes fought against him, is a testament of how much of a bad*ss Qual was/is
Lugner definitely hated Qual
Lugner definitely hated Qual
also on the new episodes on the mage test arc i don't know if watchers noticed it but fern used the same technique as qual when she fought the girl with earth magic... defensive magic is draining too much mana so just like qual she spams a barage of zoltrak then when the defense is exhausted she used a large more powerful zoltrak just what qual did😂
HIMmel W’s become common in this story right away.
Episode 1) saves the whole freaking world, doesn’t elaborate for 50 years, dies smiling like a gigachad by changing Frieren’s whole outlook on the world and starting the story.
Episode 2) shows a pure-hearted appreciation for art, both in his statue and his flower crowns. A true flower king 👑
Episode 3) cold-reading what his girl wants for dinner like a boyfriend of legend. As for skirt-flipper kid, if Wildbow’s Worm has taught me anything, it’s that threatening children is incredibly based
Episode 4) dropping bars to frieren about how she is the kind of person to enjoy a sunrise with friends. Nailed it.
Himmel is undoubtedly HIM
The best character in the show and it's basically just short backstories, built absolutely different
And later on he literally has statues built so she won't be alone when he eventually dies
it's funny because the whole premise revolves around him dying in the 1st episode, but he absolutely dominates all the popularity contests hundred of chapters later. Himmel is definitely THAT Guy.
Btw... Heiter and Eizen having childlike unadulterated fun on the field of flowers is my favorite bit of anime of all times. 🤭😊
xD me too .. but not to the point (of all time) but i totally agree that is really an awsome one
Gross
Almost like its christmas already ❤
Btw all the names of characters and cities are all german:
Frieren = freezing
Flamme = Flame
Fern = far/distant
Eisen = Iron
Himmel = Heaven
Heiter = cheerful
Representing exactly what the person/city is like, Ende = End where the demon king castle is and their journey ended
to add to this, ewig (the immortality sage) = eternal
Qual - Agony
Flamme - flame
Some additional ones -
Aureole - halo
Merkur (Merkur pudding) - mercury
Ruf (Ruf Omelette) - reputation
Voll (Voll basin) - full
Himmel also means Sky, there is no way frome the word alone to recognise which meaning it holds :)
@@Saki0himebut in a show whenever when they wanna reminds Himmel , they show the sky
After every jjk episodes, Frieren is that therapy I need. This anime really warms my heart, it's freaking amazing!!!
Qual was no joke, after waking up 80 years later, all it took was seeing Fern's defensive spell to be able understand the concept, replicate it, and immediately identify it's weakness. He didn't get owned because he was trash. He got owned because he didn't keep up with the meta game strats for the past 80 years. If he hadn't been sealed, who knows WHAT sort of insane magic techniques he would have invented.
Qual probably need a day or two to catch up with that 80 years that he fall behind, considering he only need to see the defensive magic ONCE to able to figure out what it do, how to do it, and it's weakness.
Plus, considering what been revealed in future episode, Qual probably can turn the tide of battle if Frieren missed, and Qual knows what Frieren did to his spell, which he could developed a direct counter right there.
The most anticipated heartbreaking series of the fall season, whose director, Keiichiro Saito, is up for his second AOTY, is here. He made his directorial debut with Bocchi the Rock and now with Frieren. He's a genius and he's also surrounded by pure MADHOUSE talent, simply the best anime of the year. Enjoy the journey.
Oh!!!! Didn't knew that 😮 he and the entire team and the mangaka and their entire team and anyone and any story that might have inspired them deserve all the awards and praise 👏🏾 🙌🏾 ❤
@@KravenVanDrakken Yes, the adaptation is being top notch deserves all the credit. I forgot to mention that Evan Call is doing the soundtrack who also did Violet Evergarden.
@destiny725 I knew that one, from a reactor... and of course it brought even more tears.
I am so glad I was born in a time when at my current age I get to experience so many wonderful stories via anime, manga, movies, TV series, books, audio books, games, etc...
Imagine you get to the end of your life and get reincarnated in the past... where there was nothing to feed your imagination aside from daily shores... we are truly blessed 🙌🏾 (not religious, just recognizing our current state from an spiritual/intellectual level)
@@KravenVanDrakkenOf course, it's a good time to be alive. Personally, I enjoy the way Ben and Anna react. They won my heart when they reacted to Bocchi the Rock, the people who vote know how to choose the best shows.
@@destiny725 about to embark on some 6+ hours of the Bocchi reaction 😊
Frieren is without a doubt not only my favorite anime this year, but probably my favorite of all the audiovisual products I've seen this year.
I'm looking forward to watching all the episodes again and following this new series on the channel.
YES! Peakren is here, you’re gonna love this series!
Not peak, but not bad
@@maninthespacebruh, it’s phenomenal. Let it cook.
It's literally top 3 of the season.@@maninthespace
@@addollz6192 Wait, what is number 3? Ik JJK is 1 or 2.
Frieren,jjk,Vinland saga best of this year
I legit watch this show every week and think to myself 'god damn, Ben and Anna would love this show'
Omg you guys started this show!!! I'm really glad that you did! Hopes you enjoy this☺️
Can you imagine that Frieren has the same voice actress than Anya from SpyxFamily? 🙂
The opening is great for sure, but I absolutely adore this ending, the song is so powerful, the lyrics are so beautiful and it just complements the show so well
The opening grew on me, it´s a good song. The ending from Milet though is a masterpiece 😍
OP is like 2/10, ED is 8/10, ep 11 insert is 11/10
100% I swear the ED has actually made me nearly cry more then the show, like a whole episode that makes me sad but I dont cry and then the ED plays
did you even read the lyrics to the opening? I fell like people heard the song in japanese and made up their mind that it doesn't belong in this anime. watch the english version or the cover. the opening is goated.
@@pandapo7542 yeah the lyrics are the blandest shit I've seen, absolutely lazy
There's so many amazing anime this season - Farmland Saga S2, JJK S2, Heavenly Delusios, Oshi no Ko, Apocathery Diaries etc. I never imagine Frieren would sneak its way to my favorite Anime of the year!
The crazy thing is, we haven't even gotten to the best parts of the manga yet. Frieren is such a special story. I can't wait for the next cour!
This show has been such a welcome surprise this season
Fun fact: Frieren has the same VA as Anya from SpyXFamily. And I think no one would have guessed that😅
I love that you guys are loving this as much as the rest of us do!! Such a beautiful well written story.
Ah ñau 😸... you have no idea how many people missed the sour grapes spell reference to Eisen's taste in the 3rd episode!!... 😊
This is why these two are the GOATs lol. They watch the shows like we do, thats why its so rewarding watching them watch stuff.
This is my favorite anime of the year, so I’m sooooo excited to see what you two think about it! The combination of seeing a channel I love reaction to something I love is the best Christmas gift ❤🥰
You know they are going to love. It was made for them. 😃
This show is becoming one of my top 10 of all time. A true Masterpiece so far, I am sure you'll agree.
Although it is difficult to express in English translation, Fern actually always speaks polite Japanese to Frieren with great respect. That hasn't changed since she was a child.
日本語でコメント数増しますが、シュタゲ他口調で受ける反応して分かっていそうなのに、言われてみればそれ不思議
確かにその辺の理解はお二人とも触れないですね
何でだろう(・・?)
英語字幕では "Ms. Frieren" という酷い訳なので、語る気が起きなかったりして？
せめて "Miss Frieren" だったらねぇ。
ちなみに英語吹替版や原作英語版では "Mistress Frieren" というマトモな訳になっている。
全般的に見て、本作の字幕は早さ優先で質はあまり高くないという印象ですね。
33:00 The other spells also show how she cares about Heiter and Himmel too, and it's little details like this coming back around to punch your feelers why I love it so much.
She knows Himmel liked to show off and wants to preserve his memory, so she learns a spell to clean statues of him and to let his legend endure. She also disapproved of Heiter's drinking, so she leared a spell to make tea to possibly give him a substitute, but he had already quit drinking when she met him again.
I thought the statue/bronze spell was for Himmel's statues
@@randomperson3119 Mixed up names in my comment, edited. Thx 4 pointing out.
If you check out the lyrics in the opening it’s essentially the story of the series.
OMG FINALLY YOU GUYS IN FOR THE RIDE!!
There are so many good animes this season and what's even better is how many of them are more than 12 episodes, we're truly blessed
I am so excited to see you guys react to this, you guys always have the best discussions when it comes to deep shows like this
So happy y’all are reacting to Frieren! It’s one of my all time favorites and I know y’all will love it so much!
Ya know you would think watching so many different reactions or re-watching the same show would dwindle a show down to being boring... expect for those great ones. No matter how many times I rewatch Frieren I still pick up little extra details. That's what makes a book or film or anime so great. I rarely re-watch any anime more then once expect the special ones. I have annual rewatches for Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann and most likely Frieren is going to enter that list.
These two (specially Anna) are so perceptive wrt to storylines and where they're going with it, they almost never miss a detail.
It's even better in Re:Zero, which is already a highly re-watchable show, combined with their great insight and perceptiveness.
I am the same way with avatar and attack on titan, the journey really is best the part like frieren says haha
Auto Saveさんが葬送のフレーレンのリアクションをしてくれてうれしいよ✨
The beauty of this show is that a lot of things can be interpreted different ways or in fact something can have many different meanings and all of them are true. Like the sunrise scene is about Frieren realizing that it's not about sunrise itself, but seeing your friends enjoying it, but also about just doing something with your friends, no matter what it is, but also about experiencing something beautiful with people close to you and sharing that memory, but also about doing things you'd not be able to normally do by yourself, but also about being pushed by your friends to do something you didn't have intention to doing, but you ultimately end up enjoying. Neither reading really contradicts one another and all of them have value.
Another thing about their encounter with Qual is that it also showcased how Qual (and demons in general) are arrogant. Despite figuring out how to make a defensive spell on a fly and being flat out told that Zoltraak is now basic spell for humans, when Qual saw Frieren flying and preparing spell (which was also something mages couldn't do 80 years ago and he didn't anticipate), his first instinct was to attack her with Zoltraak instead of protecting himself from his own spell that he didn't even consider she could cast back at him. The reality of situation didn't really sink in for him and he still was considering himself the OP mage he was 80 years ago, showcasing how living long live can be a weakness as well, because with all time in the world, you become stagnant and evolve and adapt much slower that other races with shorter lifespans. It's something that Frieren used to experience as well, but now is learning to overcome, no longer seeing just the length of time spend as the only important part, but that the quality of how you spend that time is also important. 1 day you spend doing something important, is more valuable than 50 or even 100 years, spend just passing time leisurely.
Lastly, a bit of heads up so you won't miss a very cool moment later on, how like majority of anime-only watchers did, thanks to the way show is localized. The actual title is "Sousou no Frieren" (葬送のフリーレン), with "sousou" (葬送) meaning "attending a funeral procession; seeing off the deceased; burial of someone's remains; observing a burial". Basically, being present during process of sending off someone dead. That's why combined with general premise of the show and first chapters, it makes logical sense in the context to translate it as something like "Frieren at the funeral", as it's clear the theme of the story is about Frieren outliving people she knows and attending a lot of their funerals. Translating the original title, especially for it to sound good, can be quite difficulty, that's why localizing it at "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" sounds like a good idea and it definitely sounds good and gives you good idea of what the show will be about. The thing is, author later does a bit of twist on the title, by making a certain group of characters using it as a nickname for Frieren, which gives it a whole new meaning that is definitely not how the word is used normally, making it a double meaning phrase. So because of that for people watching official release, the double meaning is lost, which is a shame and honestly the translator's job to be able to preserve it. People in fansubs tried to translate it certain way to preserve the original meaning, but I'm personally not convinced it's the best option as it feels a bit too direct and on the nose. The translation closer to original title, which imo the best preservers the both intended meanings, would be something like "Frieren of the funreal". I won't say more than that. Once you get to that moment, you'll understand what I meant.
i saw everyone voting for frieren so this gives me the perfect opportunity to watch the anime alongside Autosave
Just found and watched, and you're one of the very few who did the entire prologue in one go. Glad you're enjoying this!
這部 葬送的芙莉蓮 真的很好看.很開心你們能喜歡它.很期待.你們接下的的觀看反應. 目前己經播到16集了. 不會令你們失望的.!
超級好看
i'm happy frieren got them so many views ^^ most viewed video in months since the AOT finale!
1:34:22 it's a manga adaptation, and there will be 28 episodes total!
Oh shit thats awesome. Do you know how long the manga is, and if the manga will be completely adapted in those 28 episodes? Or will there be a second season? (I hope there is lol)
@@arwenlostlorn6569 this season will cover around 60 chapters of the manga, as of today , there are around 120 manga chapter released
@@DestianoY Ohhh so it's still ongoing? I thought the manga was complete but the fact that the anime is adapting so much makes me happy :D
The staff members participating can be described as the Avengers of the Japanese anime industry, they're that impressive.
himmel = heaven
heiter = bright
eisen = iron
fern = remote
flamme = flame
I won't spoil future names you have not seen yet.
Any chance of reacting to Dangers in My Heart or Duke of Death? Thanks for your in-depth analyses!
Dangers in my heart❣️❣️❣️
They'll love it!
These polls only show the quality of your channel and subscribers. Thanks everyone for choosing such good shows instead of going for full fanatic.
15 minutes in. You guys are already more intelligent , and have more analytical input than most reaction channels .
Im going to enjoy rewatching this series for probably the tenth time at this point with you guys.
Also Ben predicting the afterlife after the second episode … good call. Haha
Both of the end credit sequences for frieren are absolutely incredible .
Peakren is the Christmas present reaction I didn't deserve but I'm thankful!
You know where a trip "Beyond Journey's End" leads?
That's right:
Watch A Place further than the Universe
My day is made.
I have loved all 16 episodes to date. So many moments, and Frieren has supplanted Oshi No Ko as my personal AotY.
I'm so glad I watched Oshi No Ko. I slept on it for a while because I was like "oh not for me", that plot twist WAS INSANE. Such a beautiful show
@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine I adored that show. Kana became a fave character this year!
I'm so excited to see you two watch this! It's so thematically rich and deep. The analyses are gonna be crazy!
YES! THEY'RE FINALLY WATCHING PEAK!!!
Edit: anyone know if they've watched "86"? Watched this recently and I feel like they'd really like it, especially the last two episodes. Would love to see them react to it.
Yeah, 86 would be right up their alley.
Why do you guys call it "PEAK"?
It was in the same poll so maybe in future they will watch it
I'm SO happy to see this. Hope ya'll have a Merry Christmas!
I mean Himmel said - i want to show you the flowers of my hometown - i totally knew that he was in love with Frieren. You don't just say such a thing to anyone.
So happy to see you guys watching this, I know for sure you'll love it. It's such a breathe of fresh air this show!
39:35 Idk why but Ben trash talking is a mood
Someone said something interesting that I think it's true. When she was alone traveling her time was going fast and that's why it was shown in like 3 minutes but the times she spent with Himmel or Hiter later on were slower bc it's dear to her and every moment is important and by the way fun fact all names and places are words in German
I was awaiting for you guys starting this show, and am glad to see you like them. I look forward to seeing the future episodes!
Seeing this video show up on my recommendations made me excited as if watching a movie. You guys really are the best reactors I’ve seen.
Btw, Frieren is directed by Keiichirō Saitō. Same person who directed Bocchi the Rock and key animator of the Oshi no Ko OP sequence.
Also, the OP (Yūsha) is from Yoasobi. Same duo who did “Idol”.
Frieren means "to freeze" Eisen means "iron" Heiter means "bright" Himmel means "heaven" and Fern means "remote" as in to be far away/isolated
Great reaction to a fantastic series! FYI, this is from a manga. It’s more or less a straight adaptation but it does make notable additions that elevate the series (notably battles).
The thing that made me smile the most about your reaction is your attention to details. Most people miss the sour grape spell reference. I immediately smiled when you called it out.
Almost every spell Frieren collects is a spell to make her friends happy, or a spell to honor her friends who have long since gone.
YES!! Been waiting for yall to finally watch this! Love your reactions and commentary
So excited that you two are watching frieren
Yessss! Omg I was just thinking about how much you guys would love Frieren. Such an amazing experience. Enjoy 😊
Let's go!!!!
Thanks for the early Christmas gift Ben and Anna!
Thank You guys for that!!!
I Am so annoyingly happy that you are watching this anime❣️
I think I have cried every single episode from every possible emotion.
I was just thinking today what will be a perfect anime to show to someone that has never seen anime before... and this is it. Frieren is the perfect anime, the perfect story, the perfect starting point to introduce anyone into anime and just show them how rich of an experience it is.
Really happy you are watching it! ❤
Finally started watching this one and thought it would be great to see you guys watch!
Love you guys for blessing us with all this at once lol ❤
Let's gooooo! Can't wait to watch, this is my favorite anime rn
This is like a Christmas gift to me since it's also the eve, opening this app and this very reaction in one go how one is supposed to watch it (first 4 episodes). Thank you and Merry Christmas guys! (if you celebrate :D)
ohh yes i have been waiting for you guys to reacting to frieren!! i just love the story and the animation, someone pointed out that the clothing animation watch out for next episodes clothing animation, the actions are so wild like so detailed😁.
WHAT A TREAT, THANK YOU!!!!! I just know you'll enjoy, this is one of my favorite anime of the season
1:08:25 Having re-read the manga and watched the anime as it airs, I think this is a good line of thought to hold on to for the series. I've just had several things hit me over and over at different times on different revisits, and how you can infer and tie things together with both new and old information in this series can hit so hard and be so satisfying.
Edit: When you said 90's anime color palette my mind went to blue and pink cityscapes at night, and when you said DBZ I thought of the Broly movie/OVA when everything turns purple/green/blue.
i am so happy you are reacting to this!!
I love this show so much. its so heartwarming and feel-good, but with such sad undertones throughout the whole thing. not even to mention the absolutely gorgeous art. a true masterpiece
I'm glad to know you guys start this show!
This is one of the best and unique anime of all time.
Im soooo happy you guys are reacting tot his!!
I've been waiting so long for this day!
Happy you guys watch the show !
Some information droplets that add flavour (:D) :
(most) names of characters and places in this anime are german: Frieren= freezing ; Himmel= sky (just like the sky blue flowers
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE
Enjoyed your reaction and analysis.
FYI, when the demon was sealed away, flying magic hadn't been discovered yet. He was done in because he didn't know to expect Frieren to be flying.
Edit: This is 100% a manga source, no LN. The manga went on a 3 month hiatus so the mangaka could work with MadHouse on the anime.
Fun fact the Opening song is from the same artist who did "Idol" the Op song for Oshi no ko
You guys are in for a treat, this show is fucking amazing and you can feel that it was made with love.
I have just recently fallen in love with this show and Mushoku and just found your channel. You guys are great and keep it up 👍
I also love how excited you got about the grapes 🍇 ❤ it was such a small spell but a huge gesture to do for friend
Just found your channel, love your observation!
thank you so much
I've been waiting for you guys to react to this!! 😊
In a way, Qual should be proud. He was so strong and dangerous that even the hero party that ended up killing the demon king himself had to seal him away instead and his magic was so revolutionary that entire academies researched it in depth and mages not only incorporated it into their arsenal but learned magic specifically meant to counter it.
One could say that his invention became one of the bedrocks of modern magic in that universe.
From the same director of Bocchi the rock comes another masterpiece.
Omg ur reacting to peak rn
Thank goodness they will analyze the amazing Frieren
Y'all in for a good ride
Edit:
The director of this anime is the same as Bocchi the Rock
I was waiting for you guys to react to this. 'Worth the wait. =)
As someone who loves the manga and the anime so happy u two are watching this!!
I knew many people react this anime but I started to watch it because of you guys!
Love from Japan! 🤗💕
I'm totally crying along with these again.
First off, I really appreciate the way the both of your react, respond, question , synthesize your thoughts with substance and depth--we definitely appreciate it. As an anime-only watcher and who is caught up with the latest episode of Frieren, I look forward to seeing your reactions to this amazing fantasy series! This show is definitely up in my top all-time favorite anime lists. We're in for a ride--it'll be a great journey for sure and at this point, the destination matters less (in my opinion). Thank you both for sharing your reactions and looking forward to the next one! 🙏🏻
Love your guys reaction. Subscribed.
When there is Himmel flashback shows up, I always smiling. I really like Himmel.
For the 4 episode special that they released all at once in Japan they also had a special ED done as well which you guys should definitely watch because it encapsulates Frirens relationship with Fern so beautifully. It doesn't appear anywhere else in the anime besides the 4 episode special, only the song does once in a later episode.
I love this show!So happy that you guys are reacting to it!
Edit:Wtf you guys just predicted the core premise of the show so accurately based on just the name?!
Anna's seriously built different for that prediction lol.
i wish you both all the fun with this anime
just speaking for myself, but i never watched a show like frieren
its just amazing :)
Heiter leveraging Frieren's concept of time is really funny, the grimoire is irrelevant, he wanted her to train Fern long enough that she'd no longer be considered a burden and since humans develop quickly since they have less time, Fern becomes much stronger as a mage. He also says he wants "just a little more time", what he's saying here has nothing to do with living longer, he wants to spend his last days with Frieren and Fern, some of the last people alive that he cares about.
Frieren's concept of time and everybody she meets dying in a very short time in the grand scheme of her lifespan is a really interesting thing to explore. When you learn that she met her master 1000 years ago and trained under her you realise how long she's been alive and compared to us 10 years would feel like nothing. If we lived for 100 years a week would feel forgettable if we thought about our life, for her, 10 years is like a week. Flamme was a real person to her but 1000 years later she's more like folklore or a myth, this is why Frieren ended up how she is probably, everybody she ever knew becomes forgotten to anybody else but her.
I am SO HAPPY you guys started watching this, and that you watched the initial 4 episodes at once! It's my AOTY. From the beautiful animation to the characters and storytelling, it is all amazingly top tier. It just keeps getting better and better and I really think you're going to enjoy it.
Also: Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game!
