A big reason why the emotional aspects of the series are so strong, in my opinion, is how subtle it can be about it. It's never explicitly explained that a lot of the minor spells that Frieren collects were collected because of the influence of her previous party, and Frieren herself describes it as a hobby, but when a flashback recontextualises something as minor as knowing a spell to make grapes sour into something very personal and important to her, it hits hard. The series is full of these moments, but it never lingers on them, showing just enough to let us understand the context deeply without shoving it in our faces.
To add to that there was one point where Frieren was trying to get passed the northern gate to get to the northern lands but was stopped by a guard she could have mentioned her name but she didn’t there is a flashback that i argue ties into why she didn’t mention her name it when her master says to keep a low profile this ties back into why she didn’t mention her name more than likely because she was used to her name being unimportant. She could have done it to try and study magic but i’m taking it as not that. (i took the quote of the master from the manga i believe the anime says it better something along the lines of just be unimportant until you go fight the demon king)
Agree 100%, it became prominent in the field of flowers scene with flamme, Frieren might not notice it but she ended up loving that form of magic. Magic in the era of peace.
@@P1zzaGuyshe is very much aware of this. Later on when asked what’s her favorite magic is, she replies the flower making magic.
@@sentryion3106 but that's after, I don't think she does in the current anime, and please stop spoiling events in the manga atleast put a spoiler tag.
@@P1zzaGuy its not really a spoiler since i never revealed when where and who asked the question neither it reveales anything that would ruin the experience.
Now this is the spoiler part
its only barely a year until when she was asked so its not like she can change her mind that fast. Also she answers the question immediately without even a second thought which further reinforces that its already been her favorite for a long time.
Coming back to some of the earlier episode she already told us she like magic that makes people happy as she enjoys the smile of others.
I love the aura that this and To Your Eternity brings. It gets me so invested in the characters and actually care what they're going through and how they will thrive. Not to mention the sadness/melancholy of it all too.
I remember watching the first batch when it came out and I was like wow this gives me some serious to your eternity and like mushishi vibes nice slow burn fantasy.
The difference is that fushi slowly turned to shit and frieren was shit from the start
Personally haven't been a fan of TYE back when it aired, but this is doing everything right so far. It gives me Aria, Mushishi or Girls' Last Tour vibes - which is hella good cuz all of those are among my favorites ^^
@@animusswtor4822 yeah I do agree TYE did have some struggles although I find it encapsulated a similar feel and did it better lol. Mainly the worldbuilding gives me a similar feel to it or like mushoku
This often happens. Sometimes only when the anime gets released you revisit the manga
Bro fr
I read the manga years ago, it was meh
Watched the anime, re-read the manga and I now had a newfound love for the story, every chapter was great and I was hyped. Unlike before
@@babydubdub8729Nah, your opinion on things can change, especially after giving them a second chance and going in with the right attitude. An adaptation that everyone is talking about can be a good reminder that something exists and an opportunity to revisit it.
I haven't dived into the manga yet, but the anime has already established itself as one of my absolute favorites of all time, coming in hot in at least the top 10 with the potential to come out even higher. In the span of just the first 4 episodes I had already teared up like 10 times seemingly and it just gets better and better the longer it goes on.
This show gives me the exact same vibes as anime like Aria, Mushishi, or Girls‘ Last Tour: a serene, almost tranquil feeling that just lets you settle down and relax after a hard day’s work while still being able to maintain some of the highest emotional highs you can get. And THOSE are exactly the kinds of things I want to see more of.
If you haven't read/watched any of these, I HIGHYL recommend ALL of them, and both anime and manga for all of them, too
if you have time, pls read the manga :') its wonderful
I remember learning about Frieren from the video you did where your audience recommended stuff to you. Needless to say this has become one of my all time favorites. If I’m not mistaken, it was the end of 2020 and my senior year. The story really hit home for me and has stuck with me. So thanks for the introduction to it
Been loving this anime, definitely one of my favorites this year! Hopefully I can get to reading the manga soon, probably when the season wraps up. Love the MC and the exploration of meaningful relationships and her wanting to understand more of it and other human emotions as the series go on 👍
(Currently reading Dorohedoro, having a lotta fun with it too 👌)
It's good that a classical fantasy such as this is getting attention. I had the impression that anime fans only cared about isekai.
Also, Dorohedoro is pretty cool. The atmosphere and world building of the manga is the most memorable part of the manga. Wish it good a good 2d anime with retro aesthetic, like ghost in the shell or escaflowne.
you should definitely watch the anime adaptation, this is easily one of the best and flawless adaptation of amy manga ever.
they absolutely nailed the atmosphere, the aesthetics. and the animation quality, OSTs and VA performances are absolute toptier. they did the source material justice
The anime has outdone the manga. It’s perfect
Alright now we're glazing. Relax
@@BobbyCroseBewlerman people can't enjoy anything nowadays stfu man
the anime was pretty boring so the manga is even worse? man I bet there is a random mushishi episode which would transport this premise better then this whole anime
My favourite moment was Himmel explaining why he made the statues.
Its basically the same as keeping pictures of great times with friends.
Also, Stark's back story is goated. His birthday episode got me ugly crying
The anime actually extends all the fights and makes them a lot more insane. Leading to a lot more action lovers enjoying it too. Especially with the best animation this year
I love watching Frieren and Fern grow. I hate how it teaches me how important time is important and fleeting. The action in the anime is top notch and definitely a surprise. The animation is very detailed from how hair flows and just putting on a jacket
There was no need for the action to be this amazing but they did it and I won't complain
So far the anime has been amazing🤝🏾definitely one of my favourites to come out in recent time.
Bro dropped the best Freerain review and thought we wouldn't notice
Please do Claymore one day! It has such unique designs and Clare is a truly underrated mc. I would love to see more female-shonen mc's like her. I recently started to write a story on my own just 4 fun (like Devoro, it's probably very Bloodborne inspired) and Clare was a huge rolemodel for my mc!
Claymore is so good and good luck with your series 👌
He already has a vid on Claymore. I think from a year or two ago
@@Medallion.Star. for real? I can't find it
@@himenomagnum248 I went to go look and I couldn't find it either. Either I'm thinking of someone else or he took the video down
Yeah, Claymore is my favorite manga before Frieren. Just hope the anime can be re-make
The first time I heard of this manga was when you had a live stream for manga recs from viewers and one of the guests suggested it. I don't know. Kind of nice to see you touch back on it!
@TheMaskedMan I plan on reading this Manga soon. Great video dude. I have a huge list of Manga I need to finish and read. Hopefully I'll start this series soon.
The Anime is so well done and presented that i 100% recommend checking it out
Animation, Soundtrack , Voice Acting and overall vibe is just amazing
Always aprreciate fantasy anime/manga. Gonna get into this!
Frieren Pluto Vinland Saga and Heavenly Delusion are my contenders for AOTY
Facts bro best animes this year
Its jjk for me so 16 and 17 were one of the best animated episodes this decade
@@crimson_saiyan definitely great but in terms of story the series above are better
Frieren has brought back the same magic i felt reading Full Metal Alchemist way back then...back when Naruto was finishing and it was already dragging and I had not considered giving Hunter x Hunter a shot....it was dark times but Frieren is a breathe of fresh air!!
Make sure to watch HxH it's great
@@human2570 oh I know, i've rewatched a few times and am completely caught up to the 400th chapter it's in my Top 5 all time
Anime does it justice, also action might just be the best I've seen this season. On a scale of 1 to the To Your Eternity anime first season, I'd give it a 10.
I jumped on the manga before the anime struck it big and loved a lot of what I've read so far plus the music and animation/art in the show is so dope. Also I'm at the end of the class 1 mage exams so far in the manga.
Bruh the way you promoted the merch at the end 😂
Haven't read the manga but the anime has been amazing. Personally, it's becoming one of my all time favorites. Maybe it's recency bias but the more I think about it, the more good things I find in it, it's so well executed. Plus, I missed a good high fantasy story like this that wasn't an isekai. (I love isekai but I need me some old fashion fantasy with elves and demons)
I’ve seen so many people talking about the anime in that last few weeks that I looked into it, and it looks like a story I’d like. So I bought the first 4 volumes, the 1st actually arrived today.
Oh I feel much better hearing you praise it, because I was talking about it on X and 2 other guys started to badmouth it. But one one them had Re:Zero (the only anime I ever gave up on before the end of season 1) in his bio so I pretty much ignored him.
The one anime this season I look forward to
I read the first few chapters recently after they released. Forgot about it. Started reading again a couple years ago. I will now be ordering a Frieren figure as soon as they become available
Also the anime is a fantastic adaptation. The acting, animation and particularly the action scenes are actually incredible to see. I really want to see bigger battles animated now
Love your videos
I will go check it, thanks. 👍🏾
Bro if u do a video where u recommend a bunch of manga/manhua at once please include lord of the mysteries.
Need to give blade of the immortal a chance
I fell into the Frieren rabbit hole when Gigguk recommended this manga and i bought the first 4 volumes. I read two volumes and i stopped once i got news that the anime was coming out. The anime not only does it justice but elevates the source material. MADHOUSE and the producers are doing an amazing job. I read that he pitched the project 3 years ago as his passion project and got all the best possible talents and contributors to join the team.
For me, Frieren is one of those series that's just better to watch than read. Cause I had the same issue where I gave it a shot and it was totally uninteresting to me but giving it music and animation just brings it to life and makes it better for me.
Honestly the Anime elevates a very part of the Manga which the art which isn't very striking Visually
I watched the first few episodes of the anime, realized I was in completely in love with the atmosphere and story cut to a few days later and I'm all caught up on the manga. It is absolutely worth the read. The manga is phenomenal and surprisingly I felt like the anime adaption brings life to certain aspects that I found lacking in the manga. Episode 9 and 10 are just....a masterclass in my opinion. Not to mention the memes are 10/10
i seriously cant believe you are not putting a jjk vid rn
For anyone that wants to find a similar story as Frieren, I would recommend to try to read "Growing Tired of the lazy High Elf life after 120 years".
I like both stories, but I personally prefer High Elf Life just a bit better over Frieren, just by the tiniest of margins ever. Check it out if you have the chance, I think it'll be worth your while if you enjoy Frieren.
Omg I agree with you so much and you're honestly very right
My legitimate reaction to looking up the premise of this up:
"oh hey, this actually seems really interesting and give a similar vibe"
Isekai ---> "goddamnit, WHY kajlgnakjlhgupoawhoaklnfan" xD
@@animusswtor4822 the synopsis of it being an isekai its pretty weird, as it has not that much of weight within the story, just ocasional memories that are shown pretty sparingly. Don't know if in the web novel from which is based of it has more weight, as I haven't checked that one out, but I sincerely encourage you to give it a try, as it is really weird to me on why it was decided to have the isekai elements, since they are barely mentioned or relevant to the big plot moments, and the character development and world building had been pretty great.
Is it an isekai?
@@angelgomez7081 in the technical sense it is, since it has the bare minimum elements, but these elements are drawn from and mentioned so sparingly and in the most casual of ways, that you can almost say are close to non-existent.
Nevertheless, the character development and world building has been such a treat that I highly recommend it, give it a try.
Would Frieren be disappointed even if you last three hours? Is that equivalent to five minutes for her?
Good lord!
I find someone else than me with the same question.
I was wondering if Elfs are almost asuxual because those few minutes of fun may feel like a fraction second to them So not worth the bother in most of the time.
@@ousou78 From what I've seen, a lot of them are very sexual, especially after spending time with orcs.
Can you do a video on Bakuman?
Bro this series is top 1 on myanimelist now. Took over FMA Bro after a decade.
Hey masked man, unrelated to the video but I would love to hear your opinion on the anime ending of Attack on Titan. There was no major changes but the final dialogue was tidied much nicer and I think it delivered the message better than the manga.
It took me a while to finally click with this manga. It was a decent solid fantasy story, I liked it from the start, but I was baffled by how popular it was given how niche it seemed.
Like, sure, slow paced fantasy slice of life is my jam, but I didn't get why literally everyone was talking about it.
Then I get to the Golden Lands arc and my opinion on the series completely changes. That was when I was finally like "damn, this manga is so good."
What a coincidence that I’m currently read the same series
"The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu)" is a great senien story that you will like it.
I have to admit that the scene where she was crying with her eyes wide open was just beautiful, I don't mean the storyline, but the art of it.
Anime actually really good
please make a video on the fable or gannibal
Bro is literally me, this is like the second time the masked man had like exactly the same experience as me, this is like getting weird lol. Just once is weird enough but twice?
When you're blind your other senses are improved. When you want emotions to hit harder in a textual or visual format... you have to cut them down from places that are otherwise normal. This is the trick behind this manga, if one were to explain it clinically. Probably one of the first visual pieces (other than some old French Bande Dessinée that i read in the past, like Corto Maltese) that does this (which is usually either a movie technique or a textual technique - novels etc) on such a long scale. The author is playing the long game with EVERYTHING in this story. From setup, to plot, to characters to emotion that are forced almost brutally upon the reader in one short segment when finally revealed. It's been almost a decade and a half since i've seen someone put this much effort on such a scale, in their work. And so far, 12 episodes in, Mad House (cheeky of them to do two seasons in one so they don't undo their usual MO) has matched it... despite being called "washed out", "long since diminished" or " no longer relevant". With the addition of Evan Call (an ever growing artist) into the mix, and the stunning Milet (who herself is shaping into the voice of this generation)... it's a wonderful piece to follow.
Can u read usogui and review please :)
This and the Apothecary Diaries make a good double
Off topic but why are there next to none ninja or kunoichi ps4 and 5 games :/
Juat finished ajin and akumetsu, i need something wholesome pls?
When you go back to anime, I hope you give S-cry-Ed a chance. It's an all time favorite I never hear spoke about
The anime is a masterpiece as well!
Yo, you should read a manga called “Back when you called us devils” if you haven’t.
Bro a video abt bleach tybw anime
So what do you think of Anime? Now that it is about to end tomorrow?
READ UNDER NINJA PLS
I taught claymore was good but boy was I wrong, when I picked up Frieren last year boy it changed my life and the anime just surpass my expectations
I don't know what to say. May be this, *Berk*
the anime is amazing
Numero uno
Read manga called maria conviction it’s good plz do review
The anime is also very good!!
fries in my ren
Great anime adaption
i like it but nerfing characters are so annoying af which threw me off the anime but will endure and continue and mby read the manga as well
read the crow by James o’Barr. greatest graphic novel. you will never be the same.
you'll love this series more once you start watching the anime. They did the manga justice
I honestly think the anime is the way to go with this series. The manga is perfectly fine, but I think the anime really brings out its best qualities. Plus the animation and music for the show are absolutely incredible
The anime is insanely good
I was bored with the first chapter. Didn't touch it again. Watched the anime and now I'm in love with the story. You should see the anime. The vibes are much better there and the fights spark so much more.

Can you grow and learn after 1,000 years? "Frieren" says yes.
i don't know, the Anime didn´t really clicked for me yet, i'm currently at ep 7 or 8 and it definitly got a few deep, emotional moments i liked, but it's not an anime i'm hyped to watch the next episode of (i will continue watching it though). I personally enjoyed the first ep. of "to your eternity" way more, but maybe the insanely good moments will come later, or i just don't get this anime. Ahh also, how the frick is this show rated no.1 with 9.1 score on MAL. Of course there are a lot of Anime that have a ridiculous rating on there but what the hell man.
What don’t you understand
The manga is great but maybe it’s not for you
Maybe because a lot of people are hyped about this show. Watch till episode 10, if you don’t enjoy it very much, then this might not be for you. This is a slice of life show at its core. The no.1 rating is not special. It will get down after a few days. But it will probably stay in top 10-15 forever.
@@neerajcherukuri4052it will get down from top spot once Full Metal Alchemist stans review bomb Frieren, just like they did for any other anime that is near FMA. I love FMA, but the FMA stans are really cringe and annoying AF.
@@susbedo9258 really who cares about MAL rankings anymore tho. Probably some kids. Some of my favourite anime are not even in top 50. Gurren Lagann, Violet Evergarden, Edgerunners, Made in abyss are some examples.
He said doodoo
The anime makes the action better
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Shit is peak 🎉🎉🎉
Bro, read usogui once
WATCH THE ANIME MASK PEAK ABSOLUTE PEAK!!!
let him cook the anime isnt even done airing
I think this video convinced me not to watch Frieren. It’s not the style of anime that I’m super into. And while I’m sure I’d like it I probably wouldn’t think it’s all great. The animation looks great, but like he said if the visuals and world doesn’t pull you in the premise has to. And well while the covid gen anime fans seem to think it’s unique, me personally I’ve seen this done a ton, especially in manga. I mean I’m sure frieren does it better than most and that’s why it’s broke into the mainstream unlike most of the others with a similar premise. But the point still stands. It looks like a chill semi dramatic anime with good animation, that is probably good but not great. Like if I ever watch this it’s with a friend to spice it up. But it doesn’t help the series that my experience with the fandom is that they seem the type to fake their taste. The type that like “underrated” manga, they “like” “hidden gems” but they don’t actually like these series that much they just want others on the internet to validate them.
yes its aoty easily
Day 14 of telling masked to read Golden Kamuy
Very underrated show. It’s an incredible adventure anime, but I rarely hear anyone talk about it.
Day 5 of recomending Madoka Magica
You're watching JJK? What are your thoughts on that? I couldn't get through past the first 2 episodes because of basic generic shounen trash it was.
Based
NUMBER 1 ON MAL
Dammit
:)
First
Is it just me, or the reactions in this series are too much subdued most of the time?
Characters being mortally wounded and their reaction is a meek "oh." or characters that haven't seen each other in ages greet each other as if they were hanging out just a few hour ago.
thats just the effect of being around frieren.
the story is a lot about the effect of her friends on her but it goes both ways
I watched anime and so far I don't see nothing special, I don't understand why people hype this shit. Generously speaking it's 7/10. But people acting like it's masterpiece, lol.
you see nothing special cuz you are still a youngling😎. probably late teen and definitely not anywhere close to age 25yrs. (and if you are, then bro u gotta get ir sht together tf are u doing?)
funny thing is, it is not even deeply philosophical or brain meltingly plot heavy or anything that you need 500iq or tons of media literacy or tons of harsh life experience or something to appreciate it
but its best moments can easily slip past lots of people i guess.
for example; the best moment in the latest episode is when Frieren said
"He is in heaven now" when she was asked about Heiter by the elf priest, that made me smile and almost made me teared up and kinda proud. cuz of the whole context of Frieren's lack of beliefs and her former lack of understanding on why would people believe in a God/Goddess/Heaven.
and the anime has tons of these "Aha" moments, when someone says/does something says beforehand and you dont agree or you dont get it and suddenly the say something later or come to a subtle sudden realization after a while where it makes sense to the said character as well as the viewers and not only that but hits close to home with an weird relatability of your own IRL experience and you get this "Aha" moment where everything connects and hits you in the feels. like in the episode 2 , "it didnt have to be magic" , but then you suddenly realize due to a couple second of scene from the past of why it HAD to be magic for Fern and that frieren was right, both of their love for magic indeed stems from the same reasonings
These moments are simple but little bit subtle i guess but these are absolutely magical. most other shows that try similar stuff are too much of tearjerker or try too hard thereby ruining the whole thing but frieren doesnt try to make you sad or anything rather handles these impactful moments way more elegantly so it never gets melodramatic like other similar stories
so yeah, get a lil bit older, grow some hair on your peaches and then try the show later, you are embarassing yourself by calling this "sh^t" and casually passing the generously7/10 judgement so confidently.
Dude, you out here calling me youngling, and don't understand that people have personal opinion, that may be different of what you like. And that last paragraph about "grow some hair in your peaches" is corny asf. I think you the one who needs to grow up, insulting random person over your favourite anime💀
Everyone as a different taste but i'm curious. Which anime do you consider special or great ?

This is just another over hyped anime/manga of the season. Pretty sure for the last 5 years there have been 1 anime every season hitting number 1, then having everyone suck it off on youtube/reddit then move on to the next over hyped show. Thank God I stopped watching more main stream anime youtubers, once I complete the all the classic manga and anime time to stop going into the art form. (also japan isn't the greatest thing in the world all because they make cartoons (fk redditors))
Incredibly based
i dont get it, it is the most boring shit ive seen
Did u not watch the video, are u a child
the anime is amazing
