Hi guys! I can't believe that we are almost at 1k subs now. it would be greatly appreciated if you guys would be so kind as to help me reach that sooner. Thanks😃
Those lines will for ever be stuck in my head,because even tho we are not ancient elfs,I think we can all agree that little unexpected things could have a way bigger impact in our lives than we expected at first
@@onesmileybaldy8303for real, such an impactful show. Relating to the meaning in our encounters with others regardless of time and their impact on our lives is something everyone has. Frieren just touches on some very real, very intrinsically human experiences. What an incredible series. ❤
@@onesmileybaldy8303 Frieren is to humans like her friends are to dogs or cats. The ten or so years we spend with our beloved pets, sometimes even less, are just a small portion of our lives. However, to them, those years represent their entire existence.
I lost my cat almost exactly 3 years ago, and it devastated me. I'd had her since I was 5 or so, and she ended up being one of the most important connections in my life. I hadn't really drawn the connection between that and Frieren until now, but yeah, that does make some of it hit really hard for me
I don't know. That line was only five episodes in and it felt so underserved. Like, sure you had a 10 year adventure but I didn't and right now, only knowing the characters got five episodes, I really didn't care. I get the message they're trying to tell but boy does it not hit anything for me.
he’s right man, between all the cool action and amusing slice of life, he nailed what Frieren is about at it’s core: it’s a reminder to use your time to cherish those around you, because time will pass you by quicker than you realize. although that’s not always what the show is focused on, it is ultimately the reason for her whole journey.
Let’s say, if Frieren gets season 2, and the production value remain the same and have the author supervise the production like how he did with season 1 Frieren will become a modern anime masterpiece
@@episode4882 It will not, Frieren is shonen and entire premise is stuck with same topic. It will be like Spy x Family when people get bored watching same things over and over again.
@@user-lh5my4ws8jplenty of shounen have development lol, what's your point? Attack on titan is a shounen, fmab, hxh, vinland saga started as a shounen, that's just a few examples.
@@user-lh5my4ws8jFrieren is not a shounen and I don't think it will be the same as Spy x Family at all. Spy x Family like you say is stuck with a gimmick that they are hiding their identities from each other and the comedy surrounding that. Frieren have an underlying theme surrounding time but already in season 1 you can see after the first 4 episodes that it starts focus on other things as well so I really don't think that will be an issue. That's like saying FMB will fail because it's just about them getting their bodies back and that will be boring after a while.
@@steveqi9309that's the neat part about religion, if afterlife doesn't exist it's fun and game but had it actually exists, lots of those amoral people would get fcked hard for eternity, yes being kind only is not enuff. Same shjts just like how you go to another country you required a different money currency. To go to afterlife requires a different set of rules and currency. If you research enuff, there is actually one religion who described all human life guidance from before birth to afterlife, like in a great precision, there is a pray for every lil activities on it. That tiny lil of precision is impossible to be a manmade.
There's a line said by Eisen to Frieren that I think perfectly encapsulated Frieren's philosophy. "Its funny isn't it? That one one-hundredth changed you." It really just hammers home how important even the smallest interactions with friends and family is, if Garnt didn't make that decision to be with his parents instead of worrying about his work, he wouldn't of experienced that one one-hundredth of his life that at the time seemed like such a small decision but the outcome was a memory he will cherish. Spend time with your loved ones, you'll only know how much you appreciate it when they're gone.
To a human life timescale, it'd be just a year. and that is enough to change so much about your life and time you should cherish with your loved ones. But we also thread on it as "it's just a new year to pass"
It have great story idea first. If you try to write around a message you fail. A lot of this shows messages are the same as lord of the rings. Especially if you read a bit extra and hit even more the Elf vs human views of things. Plus especially the Hobbits driving home the simple things in life are the best and ends with Sam returning to his Wife with their child. The huge ultra long denouement is Lord of the Rings greatest strength.

"Make the most of your time with people you love" I lost my mum to cancer when I was in middle school. I mean its not like I didn't get along with my parents, I'm blessed to be able to say I wouldn't have our relationship any other way. My only wish was the cliche thing I wish I could talk and hang out with my mum as an adult etc, pursuing a work in design just like she was an architect. But yes watching Frieren simply made me smile watching characters spending time with people, and just like how it usually makes me smile when I hear friends spending time with their family.
Know the feeling. Lost my dad to cancer in grade 8. And now that I'm older you realise I only knew my dad as a dad, never as a man, because I only knew him as a child. There was so much more I had still to learn about him.
Same here. I was focused only on myself for the past few years. I was grinding to make more money and I forgot about my old mom who really missed me. I even tried to stop calling her because I just didn't have time and I got annoyed because of her wanting to talk to me. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just want to make my way through and I thought happiness was somewhere fat away and I should work my ass off to get it. Just wanted to make a lot of money and go traveling and shit, but then I watched Vinland Saga and also read Vagabond. They have given me a life lesson I really needed. Then I also watched Frieren and really started to appreciate important things in my life. It was so simple and yet so far from my understanding. I'm really ashamed of myself and I've never thought anime would change me in this way
Take it from someone who lost both parents at a relatively early age (27), if everything works out I may live to be 70-80ish and my parents will have been a minor chunk of my life statistically speaking but those years I spent with them were the most impactful years of my life. Cherish those those around you because one day you may be hugging them and a week later you’re spreading their ashes or resting flowers on their place of rest. I think Frieren does a phenomenal job of showcasing just how fragile yet beautiful life really is.
I'm the inverse, both of mine are alive but the 20 years I spent living with them were a nightmare that never ended and I still to this day deal with the trauma. But in the same vein, I spent four years living with my grandmother who unconditionally loves me. To this day I call her every other week to check in on her, she loves getting called and it makes her day, it's such a small effort to donate an hour of my time on a phone to a lady who gave me everything even when she had little to give. I spend entire days ruminating over the damage I am trying to undo that my parents caused. The day they die will be the day I might finally be able to sigh in relief and rest properly.
I heard someone else who lost a parent say something they found very comforting: 90% of the time you spend with your parents is when you're a kid living with them. I'll mourn that 10%, but I'm thankful I got the 90.
It's actually gone up over time. By only 0.01, but still. Most of the time a lot of people put 10's, and then more reasonable opinions come in. But it's gone up instead.
HImmel really changed my views of life man. His whole positivity and energy to make everything better for everyone and just enjoying the in and out small pieces of life and those really tiny moments with your friends and people you love. Himmel is really one of my favorite characters of all time. I really,really love his personality and philosophy and way of living. He really makes me a better person
Frieren brought me back to watching anime. I've been watching almost everything that came out between 2015 and 2017, then slowly watched less to focus on only the good stuff, and by the time covid hit I had almost completely fallen out of anime, aside from catching up on One Piece every now and then and watching the occasional remake or sequel that interested me. For the past years I've always tried to watch other anime - Chainsaw Man, Shadow's House, the new Higurashi series, Great pretender, you name it - but never managed to watch beyond episode 3 or 4 even though I liked the shows. Somehow I couldn't be bothered watching them because the mere thought of starting a 20 minute anime episode seemed like a tiring chore somehow. Frieren single handedly changed that. After catching up to Frieren about 5 weeks ago, I finally got around to watch Kumoko, Mashle, Blue Exorcist s3 and Dr. Stone. Somehow Frieren has reignited my passion for watching anime.
@@xerisz7163 it's not even like I disliked the show or anything, I was actually quite hyped for it when watching it. But there were only 4 episodes out at the time, and I just never came back to it. Now that it's out I might watch the rest of it on a free Saturday.
Don't let the notion of how cheesy the line "anime changes/affects you for the better" stops you from doing the thing you should do because you're inspired by anime. Nodame Cantabile changed me and I went to Japan to pursue my career in Japanese creative industry. Failed in Japan. I couldn't secure a job in game company nor an anime studio and here I am working for a French creative agency now like Chiaki from Nodame, with my own Franz Streseman as my boss (my office is in Paris too). Funnily enough, my honeymoon with my wife happened like those French countryside recital episodes where I went to a French village, driving a manual transmission Renault like Chiaki and Nodame did. The serendipity and surprise of life will never cease to impress you if keep on believing on your path and keep on pushing to make it happen. Yes, anime can change your life for a better, it's human story, and stories always inspire us.
For a show that has every single character pretty much with dead faces, no expression whatsoever, Frieren managed to convey so much emotions and message in the calmest and gentlest way possible.
My grandparents, and my father died in the last 3 years. Sometimes I'll want to call one of them, and have that moment of "oh yeah, I can't do that, they're dead."
Frieren truly makes you think, and forces you to reflect on your life and the choices you made. What a great show. It is exactly what we needed to remind us of what is important in life.
My mother had a stroke a year ago. She's recovering and she now can walk around with a regular cane instead of the the one with four legs and do light chores like cooking porridge with the very rice she harvested before her stroke. I have always been aloof with people around me, keeping myself distant and alone. While my sister tended to our mother during her crucial times I maintained the distant son persona, providing purely monetary and physical assistance. I guess watching Frieren made me reflect on my behavior and one day I decided that at the very least I will sit down and eat with my mother instead of bringing food back to my room. My mother reacted positively to this shift. I wish Frieren had come out before cancer took my late father.
Same, this show man. I’m moving out soon and won’t see my parents for a long time. I bought them some new stuff and spent more time with them due to this show. Life is short. Choose to be happy.
The entire topic of being forgotten gave me an existential crisis. The fact that no matter what,eventually I’ll be forgotten,everyone here will be forgotten. I’ll die,the people that knew me will die,then the descendants of those people too(most of those never heard of me) and so will come a generation that will never know that I existed. The only trace of me left will be my online footprint. Comments,videos or other types of media that I interacted with. Eventually servers will be shut down,or the type of servers will change,or humanity will collapse shutting down every server we ever created,but life on earth keeps going anyway,until our Sun devour us. It made me fear being forgotten but at the same time it made me feel at ease,because it was the same for all the people behind me. Whether I realize it or not,they still had even a minuscule effect on me while living their life anyway accomplishing what they wanted,or at least trying to. And that’s just life,you do what you can while you can,because the little time we have here is what makes things interesting and makes us try to do it faster,because an existence where you can live in a world for thousands of years would eventually make your time there really boring. TDLR: Live life to the fullest even tho you know you eventually completely cease to exist. I don’t even know if what I’m saying made sense anymore lol it’s 1AM and the night thoughts took over me after I watched this video. I better go to sleep.
Frieren changed me and helped me cope with growing older and losing people. It really helped me process my emotions, it's truly art. It totally took me out of my grinding mindset and it helped grounded me to my people around me.
When Eisen said that everyone who works hard is a warrior, it feels like the validation I needed for all the work I've done so far. I've actually been shaken to my core.
yeah...that episode hit me hard as well. I take care of my grandmother and made me want to make the most of the time we have left. Also this show taught me that taking the slow and patient way and not rushing can lead to more happiness
When I first read the Frieren manga, I had reached majority a few years back already, but that's the first time I felt the weight of it. It made me feel like an adult.
Im not one to really learn lessons from anime, but i definitely recognise when there is a powerful message being sent And frieren, sends a very very powerful message, every episode, sometimes applicable to real life, sometimes its only in its own world, but either way, it always hits home
Frieren teaches you to appreciate simple things, learn to value time, and be more useful to others so that when we are gone we at least leave a good impression that can be remembered. One of the moments that touched my heart the most was when Himmel revealed the reason he made a statue of himself, f*ck that was very touching.
I’m going through a big mental challenge & huge anxiety because of this exact topic lately. I’m 24 turning 25 in 2 months and have been terrified that I’ve wasted too many “good years” in my life and now I’m paranoid that life is really too short. I’ve been obsessed with numbers & death and trying to essentially make every single day count with family, friends and myself. Dude let me say as someone dealing with that it is so exhausting. I really want to watch this show because I need a pick me up! But also don’t know if I can because I don’t know if I’ll spiral because of it. I’ve never really had anxiety before and this topic is huge for me. I’m sure in the grand scheme of things I’m young but I can’t roll over and say I’m just a kid anymore it’ll go away you know Haha. Anyways for anyone who struggles to grapple with life I’m right there with you, I think a lot of us are! We’re in this boat together and that’s okay. Frieren definitely is a show I need to watch eventually!
A change in mindset is everything I see that every day I get is not for granted and be happy I’m still healthy to experience the next day. Happy that I’m able to see when I wake up and able to stand up. Some say life is on average 30 thousand days. But many get to experience not even one of those 30 thousand days. It’s true to make every day count but the following day is never guaranteed. So a day started happy and intentionally is already a day accounted for.
Do watch it :) It's like a warm hug holding space for some heavy feelings. It makes it feel like you're not alone with those worries you described. I have had the same feeling and the show brought me to tears multiple times. but it was always the tears where i smiled while crying.
You actually need to watch Frieren as soon as possible, and for one time, try taking your time, force yourself to not skip any parts and let the anime absorb you. You’ll see that Frieren has the answers you’re searching. To give you a hint, you probably need to learn how to appreciate things more than finding new things to do.
A video by kurzgesagt about the number of weeks(5200) you have to live reminded me of this, in the video it says by the time you go to college or reach your twenties, the majority of the time you spend with your parents has already passed. Even if your making an effort to reach out to your parents you still have already spent more than 90% of the time of the time you will ever spend with them so make sure to treasure your time with them as they grow old. If they die early this time is even shorter so the time you have left is super important.
The episode about Stark's brother and his back story had me cryyng like a bitch. My brother and I were watching that episode and bro the flashbacks brought me flashbacks also of the times in my childhood when I would stick for my brother through literally everything. He is such a precious thing and man I wish I'd hugged him at that time but I was on my period and felt so slimy for not taking a bath in 2 days 😅
No matter what you do your parents will die and you will feel like it's never enough. It's a 2 way Street, they feel the same when a son passes before them. The anime explains it well, elves live for an eternity and human lives are fleeting. When my mom passed away when I was 11 I'm sure the pain was worse for her than it was for me. If only she had more time I'm sure she was saying. That's why I honour her memory and try to be the best son that I can be. It's probably why I cried the first 15 episodes of frieran. Really hits home if you had any childhood trauma. Also frieren understands while she's eternal a human is only around for such a short period. It's why she takes on fern. Heiter understood the potential and the loss and didn't want someone being raised in the world with out nurture love and potential development loss. If anything frieren is honoring her friends the best she could.
Frieren along with Vinland are masterpieces of this generation. Frieren just hit you different, it's ordinary live being lived like everyone claims to live like at the same time anyone don't remembers of live in that way. The just action of watching the sunset can be a magnific thing and this is impressive because it's simplory at the base level and anyone don't give matters to that until frieren shows us the meaning or better saying remember this for us all. I'm frieren evangelist and this is god rier of animes, I just hope soo live to see a infinity amount of shows about this adorable elf and God saves me of watching fern and stark dying for old age. (I'm not a native english speaker, sorry for the english)
Frieren not only inspires you to spend time with your loved ones but, for me at least, it has inspired me to make the most out of my life in all avenues.
Episode 10 and 21 are amazing and show almost a perfect build up to an absolute goosebumps inducing moment. But the episode with the grandpa Voll is what hit me the hardest too. Frieren balances slice of life cozy moments and action epic moments so well, I can’t praise it enough.
Someone who never saw frieren after watching this clip "What fucking anime is this?". This clip does not even talk about the anime but its such a great recommendation.
Honestly frieren made me let go of a relationship that I had in the past bc they kept giving me hope but after watch the show i realized that all adventures have to end all story's have to end and too live with the happy memories in me but to let go of what is no longer there ;)
Frieren really do be hitting different than other anime. Other anime that tried are also good with the power of friendship and all that....but Frieren really hits the IRL stuff and the "Oh sh*t I've never been through this but why do I feel so melancholic and nostalgic" type vibes❤
himmel meant a lot in Frieren's past, teaching her things she would not even think of in just one one hundreth of her lifetime heiter tricked her into giving her a future eisen is her anchor to the present
After having read a good bunch of the negative reviews of the anime on MAL, I can confidently say that most of them were projecting their own feelings on the anime, mentioning stuff such as overhyped, empty and no feelings, without explaining themselves further. I find it scary that the people who would need to watch this anime the most are the ones who don't even understand it. I hope they give the anime another chance after another 10 years.
@@magnificentbananabutter2475 it will eventually be dethroned yes. But it's almost over and it went up in rating technically. By a very small amount yes but its been ages since an anime that dethroned fmab actually continued to rise positive ratings wise. So far it seems the review Bombing hasn't stopped Frieren from keeping up
Friren is one of thoe rare manga/anime that really puts things into perspective. It reinforces the importance of spending time with those you care about.
Genuinely, every time the ending theme starts to play, I start to cry, it's such a visceral reaction after reading what the actual lyrics are, and it just hits me, every damn time
It's funny to think that in 10, 20, 30 years people will just randomly stumble into Frieren not knowing what a massive cultural moment it was. And just get their socks knocked off. Even with all the hype going around today, I wasn't ready for how good th show is.
THIS. I love the show because of how well it expresses what matters to us (and what should). But it does this in a subtle way that is just perfect; it doesnt shove the message down your throat but makes you SEE why the message is so important. Frieren finally realizes the power of relationships with others regardless of the fact she will have to say goodbye, that things still matter and are worth doing even though they will end. But even just her little hobby of collecting these "useless" spells speaks volumes about the core message of the show. Really, It tells us about what matters for each character. What being a hero and good person is really about, the value in helping others, having fun with those you care about being paramount, the sorrow of loss and how death effects people. Hell, it even quickly talks about suicide with Fern and belief in the afterlife with Heiter. It covers so many things with such subtly and grace (usually) that makes the show far more impactful and meaningful compared to any other anime I have ever seen, including Vinalnd Saga and Violet Evergarden. This show being the best anime of all time is completely fitting. PS. dont really like the focus on time people always give the show since It takes away from the core about the relationships you have with others. Its not JUST that they wont always be around, since even if they WERE they would matter all the same. Care about your friends and family because a lonely life is no life at all; one spent with people who care about you while caring about them, one spent pursuing things that make you and others happy, is a life you will find far more meaningful than one chasing lofty goals that dont really matter to you all alone. You should love people, make friends, and cherish those around you because the alternative sucks in comparison (just look at frieren herself).
you people should watch this japanese movie called perfect days that released in 2023 starring the great koji yakusho and directed by wim wenders, I felt like it was a movie that gave a similar philosphy to frieren and its so beautiful. it also won best screenplay at Cannes.
there's a spanish youtuber that I follow and it's already a meme for him to make videos like "I was wrong with " but it's really funny and actually animes that also didn't seem good for me made me considered watching it and it was good. So yeah I hope Gigguk also make a "I was wrong with Frieren" or something like that xD
I am fortunate that I had people who have taught me frierens life lessons. Special credit to a teacher in high school who was my personal formation tutor
Imagine you have a friend whos lifespan is of 5 months and you play with them for the 1st month then theu grow young and you spend time for the next 3 months and then suddenly 1 day you wake up with nothing changed but you cant find your friend, This is how it feels for frieren with stark and fern And in himmel's case she skipped the last 3 months which is why she regrets wasting the little time she was given
This show is kinda of like fumetsu no anatae with its concept of valueing life spans. The latter is the faster, dramatic. This is more mellow and soothing. Subjectively more relatable in Frieren's case.
Unironically I’ve completely changed my life view because of this goddamn show. Completely aware of my own mortality I’m gonna be living to make memories and nothing else
I'm watching Frieren with my mom. I think the reason why it doesn't hit either of us as hard as it does for most is because we already live like that well before this. With how much death is in her family, specifically, she doesn't need to be reminded of it. And Since I grew up going to funeral after funeral since I was a baby, I am pretty numb to it,. As I watch the people around me age, I often do daydream of their deaths, and what I need to do with them while they are still here. I mean, I still love the show, but it isn't changing my life or anything. It wasn't my favorite of 2023, but I can see why people see it as such.
3:10 i enjoy how he says "miss the deadline" like we were expecting a video that day lol. TH-camrs need to get their mind out of the gutter. There job is more flexible than most jobs, if you need time for your family or friends just do that. Your job will be there when you get back if you have a secured fan base
Vinland Saga is in my top 5 anime and manga but being caught up to the Frieren anime and manga I have to say it makes a case for top 10. Both series are excellent in their own right.
An anime that is more influential to me than frieren was ReLife i know this is situational af and frieren had better lessons but the charecter connection in relife was crazy especially in the manga
Frieren taught me that my lifetime is meaningless compared to the world or the universe and that it doesnt matter what i do. i mean what are a mere 100 years.

"Hating on Disney is right wing" lmao. The amount of leftist youtubers I have seen criticizing Disney is huge. Just a few examples Big Joel, Lindsay Ellis, Hbomberguy etc @@DenLim123

Disney's messages have frankly not... been very good in recent years
Garnt was a good son because of anime confirmed.
Himmel is the best role model, and frieren helps to teach you how to value your lifespan and spending it with ones you love.
Himmel the chad
its because he's HIMmel
"Make the most of your time with people you love"
I lost my mum to cancer when I was in middle school. I mean its not like I didn't get along with my parents, I'm blessed to be able to say I wouldn't have our relationship any other way. My only wish was the cliche thing I wish I could talk and hang out with my mum as an adult etc, pursuing a work in design just like she was an architect. But yes watching Frieren simply made me smile watching characters spending time with people, and just like how it usually makes me smile when I hear friends spending time with their family.
Know the feeling. Lost my dad to cancer in grade 8. And now that I'm older you realise I only knew my dad as a dad, never as a man, because I only knew him as a child. There was so much more I had still to learn about him.
I hope she rests in peace.
Same here. I was focused only on myself for the past few years. I was grinding to make more money and I forgot about my old mom who really missed me. I even tried to stop calling her because I just didn't have time and I got annoyed because of her wanting to talk to me. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I just want to make my way through and I thought happiness was somewhere fat away and I should work my ass off to get it. Just wanted to make a lot of money and go traveling and shit, but then I watched Vinland Saga and also read Vagabond. They have given me a life lesson I really needed. Then I also watched Frieren and really started to appreciate important things in my life. It was so simple and yet so far from my understanding. I'm really ashamed of myself and I've never thought anime would change me in this way
then u got the ppl saying anime and manga is cringe, when in reality they are the ones who are cringe.
Don't be ashamed mate, be thankful that you recognized that lesson now instead of when time has completely passed and it was too late.
You changed for better. That's the important part❤️.
Go give your mom a hug while you can, you both deserve it ❤
realizing is one thing, now it's time to act one what you learned
Vinland and Frieren are the shows that have impacted me the most
Was just about to say that. Two philosophical giants!
Every time I see people praze vinlands story I get a bit sad it has such intolerable characters making it near inposible to witness myself
@@SourceOfTheRightArm nah we not doing that here. Exit stage left
@@vigorousprophecy butthurt r we ? I would feel no need to stick around if u weren't sensitive about that fact
@@SourceOfTheRightArm why are the characters intolerable?
Both vinland saga and frieren are really just life lessons for us who just watch anime
Really though! Like sometimes I’m about to opinion in a comment and I gotta remember … I supposed to have no enemies
Read manga? Those are both known for their manga, why specify the anime?
Think he meant anime and no other media, as in live action yada yada@@ToniToniChopaaa
@@ToniToniChopaaaHe only mention anime because most of the people are anime watcher and since both anime release recently.
@@kangaroo7143 I hate anime only watchers .
This is as wholesome as it gets and speaks to the power of fiction as a whole. Frieren is a special kind of show man.
Take it from someone who lost both parents at a relatively early age (27), if everything works out I may live to be 70-80ish and my parents will have been a minor chunk of my life statistically speaking but those years I spent with them were the most impactful years of my life. Cherish those those around you because one day you may be hugging them and a week later you’re spreading their ashes or resting flowers on their place of rest. I think Frieren does a phenomenal job of showcasing just how fragile yet beautiful life really is.
I'm the inverse, both of mine are alive but the 20 years I spent living with them were a nightmare that never ended and I still to this day deal with the trauma.
But in the same vein, I spent four years living with my grandmother who unconditionally loves me.
To this day I call her every other week to check in on her, she loves getting called and it makes her day, it's such a small effort to donate an hour of my time on a phone to a lady who gave me everything even when she had little to give.
I spend entire days ruminating over the damage I am trying to undo that my parents caused. The day they die will be the day I might finally be able to sigh in relief and rest properly.
I heard someone else who lost a parent say something they found very comforting: 90% of the time you spend with your parents is when you're a kid living with them. I'll mourn that 10%, but I'm thankful I got the 90.
Okay at this point Frieren isn't #1 on MAL because of pure hype.
Indeed. At the heart it is a very human story told by an elf
Rankings are silly anyway because they're subject to so many external factors. Frieren is fantastic. Doesn't matter if it's #1 on MAL or not
Its was never on number 1 because of Hype. Its gets there slowly and thats prove thats not an anime wo gets number 1 after one hype episode.
It's actually gone up over time. By only 0.01, but still. Most of the time a lot of people put 10's, and then more reasonable opinions come in. But it's gone up instead.
The petty AF FMA fans/babies will make sure to downrate in mass at the end of the season.
HImmel really changed my views of life man. His whole positivity and energy to make everything better for everyone and just enjoying the in and out small pieces of life and those really tiny moments with your friends and people you love.
Himmel is really one of my favorite characters of all time. I really,really love his personality and philosophy and way of living. He really makes me a better person
Frieren brought me back to watching anime. I've been watching almost everything that came out between 2015 and 2017, then slowly watched less to focus on only the good stuff, and by the time covid hit I had almost completely fallen out of anime, aside from catching up on One Piece every now and then and watching the occasional remake or sequel that interested me. For the past years I've always tried to watch other anime - Chainsaw Man, Shadow's House, the new Higurashi series, Great pretender, you name it - but never managed to watch beyond episode 3 or 4 even though I liked the shows. Somehow I couldn't be bothered watching them because the mere thought of starting a 20 minute anime episode seemed like a tiring chore somehow.
Frieren single handedly changed that. After catching up to Frieren about 5 weeks ago, I finally got around to watch Kumoko, Mashle, Blue Exorcist s3 and Dr. Stone. Somehow Frieren has reignited my passion for watching anime.
Shadows house only lites on fire past that point but as a mystery
I'd say keep your eyes on Chainsaw man because the show actually deliver alot of message, just not at the very beginning.
@@xerisz7163 it's not even like I disliked the show or anything, I was actually quite hyped for it when watching it. But there were only 4 episodes out at the time, and I just never came back to it. Now that it's out I might watch the rest of it on a free Saturday.
Even if Frieren is considered shonen manga, older people will appreciate Frieren more than teenagers/young adult.
Don't let the notion of how cheesy the line "anime changes/affects you for the better" stops you from doing the thing you should do because you're inspired by anime.
Nodame Cantabile changed me and I went to Japan to pursue my career in Japanese creative industry. Failed in Japan. I couldn't secure a job in game company nor an anime studio and here I am working for a French creative agency now like Chiaki from Nodame, with my own Franz Streseman as my boss (my office is in Paris too). Funnily enough, my honeymoon with my wife happened like those French countryside recital episodes where I went to a French village, driving a manual transmission Renault like Chiaki and Nodame did.
The serendipity and surprise of life will never cease to impress you if keep on believing on your path and keep on pushing to make it happen. Yes, anime can change your life for a better, it's human story, and stories always inspire us.
For a show that has every single character pretty much with dead faces, no expression whatsoever, Frieren managed to convey so much emotions and message in the calmest and gentlest way possible.
My grandparents, and my father died in the last 3 years. Sometimes I'll want to call one of them, and have that moment of "oh yeah, I can't do that, they're dead."
Frieren truly makes you think, and forces you to reflect on your life and the choices you made.
What a great show. It is exactly what we needed to remind us of what is important in life.
My mother had a stroke a year ago. She's recovering and she now can walk around with a regular cane instead of the the one with four legs and do light chores like cooking porridge with the very rice she harvested before her stroke. I have always been aloof with people around me, keeping myself distant and alone. While my sister tended to our mother during her crucial times I maintained the distant son persona, providing purely monetary and physical assistance.
I guess watching Frieren made me reflect on my behavior and one day I decided that at the very least I will sit down and eat with my mother instead of bringing food back to my room. My mother reacted positively to this shift.
I wish Frieren had come out before cancer took my late father.
Same, this show man. I’m moving out soon and won’t see my parents for a long time. I bought them some new stuff and spent more time with them due to this show. Life is short. Choose to be happy.
The entire topic of being forgotten gave me an existential crisis. The fact that no matter what,eventually I’ll be forgotten,everyone here will be forgotten. I’ll die,the people that knew me will die,then the descendants of those people too(most of those never heard of me) and so will come a generation that will never know that I existed. The only trace of me left will be my online footprint. Comments,videos or other types of media that I interacted with. Eventually servers will be shut down,or the type of servers will change,or humanity will collapse shutting down every server we ever created,but life on earth keeps going anyway,until our Sun devour us.
It made me fear being forgotten but at the same time it made me feel at ease,because it was the same for all the people behind me. Whether I realize it or not,they still had even a minuscule effect on me while living their life anyway accomplishing what they wanted,or at least trying to. And that’s just life,you do what you can while you can,because the little time we have here is what makes things interesting and makes us try to do it faster,because an existence where you can live in a world for thousands of years would eventually make your time there really boring.
TDLR: Live life to the fullest even tho you know you eventually completely cease to exist.
I don’t even know if what I’m saying made sense anymore lol it’s 1AM and the night thoughts took over me after I watched this video. I better go to sleep.
Frieren changed me and helped me cope with growing older and losing people. It really helped me process my emotions, it's truly art. It totally took me out of my grinding mindset and it helped grounded me to my people around me.
Guys watching/reading frieren will soon be our one one-hundredth. I think it has already changed some of us.
When Eisen said that everyone who works hard is a warrior, it feels like the validation I needed for all the work I've done so far. I've actually been shaken to my core.
The Frieren manga solved my religious crisis when it was coming out. Love this damn series.
yeah...that episode hit me hard as well. I take care of my grandmother and made me want to make the most of the time we have left. Also this show taught me that taking the slow and patient way and not rushing can lead to more happiness
Its those little things that we always take for granted, and when missed gives greater impact in our heart
Frieren was my #1, so many moments in this show made me tear, she shows how tiny our lives our, and how important it is to cherish every moment
When I first read the Frieren manga, I had reached majority a few years back already, but that's the first time I felt the weight of it. It made me feel like an adult.
Im not one to really learn lessons from anime, but i definitely recognise when there is a powerful message being sent
And frieren, sends a very very powerful message, every episode, sometimes applicable to real life, sometimes its only in its own world, but either way, it always hits home
Frieren teaches you to appreciate simple things, learn to value time, and be more useful to others so that when we are gone we at least leave a good impression that can be remembered. One of the moments that touched my heart the most was when Himmel revealed the reason he made a statue of himself, f*ck that was very touching.
Frieren is truly amazing. Such a beautiful series.
I'm so proud of you Garnt. It is really with life experiences that makes you appreciate the emotions Frieren conveys.
I’m going through a big mental challenge & huge anxiety because of this exact topic lately. I’m 24 turning 25 in 2 months and have been terrified that I’ve wasted too many “good years” in my life and now I’m paranoid that life is really too short. I’ve been obsessed with numbers & death and trying to essentially make every single day count with family, friends and myself. Dude let me say as someone dealing with that it is so exhausting. I really want to watch this show because I need a pick me up! But also don’t know if I can because I don’t know if I’ll spiral because of it. I’ve never really had anxiety before and this topic is huge for me. I’m sure in the grand scheme of things I’m young but I can’t roll over and say I’m just a kid anymore it’ll go away you know Haha. Anyways for anyone who struggles to grapple with life I’m right there with you, I think a lot of us are! We’re in this boat together and that’s okay. Frieren definitely is a show I need to watch eventually!
🤝
A change in mindset is everything I see that every day I get is not for granted and be happy I’m still healthy to experience the next day. Happy that I’m able to see when I wake up and able to stand up. Some say life is on average 30 thousand days. But many get to experience not even one of those 30 thousand days. It’s true to make every day count but the following day is never guaranteed. So a day started happy and intentionally is already a day accounted for.
Do watch it :)
It's like a warm hug holding space for some heavy feelings. It makes it feel like you're not alone with those worries you described. I have had the same feeling and the show brought me to tears multiple times. but it was always the tears where i smiled while crying.
You actually need to watch Frieren as soon as possible, and for one time, try taking your time, force yourself to not skip any parts and let the anime absorb you. You’ll see that Frieren has the answers you’re searching. To give you a hint, you probably need to learn how to appreciate things more than finding new things to do.
A video by kurzgesagt about the number of weeks(5200) you have to live reminded me of this, in the video it says by the time you go to college or reach your twenties, the majority of the time you spend with your parents has already passed.
Even if your making an effort to reach out to your parents you still have already spent more than 90% of the time of the time you will ever spend with them so make sure to treasure your time with them as they grow old. If they die early this time is even shorter so the time you have left is super important.
The episode about Stark's brother and his back story had me cryyng like a bitch. My brother and I were watching that episode and bro the flashbacks brought me flashbacks also of the times in my childhood when I would stick for my brother through literally everything. He is such a precious thing and man I wish I'd hugged him at that time but I was on my period and felt so slimy for not taking a bath in 2 days 😅
Bro the disappointment on garnt's face when JJK won the anime of the year
No matter what you do your parents will die and you will feel like it's never enough. It's a 2 way Street, they feel the same when a son passes before them. The anime explains it well, elves live for an eternity and human lives are fleeting.
When my mom passed away when I was 11 I'm sure the pain was worse for her than it was for me. If only she had more time I'm sure she was saying. That's why I honour her memory and try to be the best son that I can be. It's probably why I cried the first 15 episodes of frieran. Really hits home if you had any childhood trauma.
Also frieren understands while she's eternal a human is only around for such a short period. It's why she takes on fern. Heiter understood the potential and the loss and didn't want someone being raised in the world with out nurture love and potential development loss. If anything frieren is honoring her friends the best she could.
Frieren along with Vinland are masterpieces of this generation. Frieren just hit you different, it's ordinary live being lived like everyone claims to live like at the same time anyone don't remembers of live in that way. The just action of watching the sunset can be a magnific thing and this is impressive because it's simplory at the base level and anyone don't give matters to that until frieren shows us the meaning or better saying remember this for us all. I'm frieren evangelist and this is god rier of animes, I just hope soo live to see a infinity amount of shows about this adorable elf and God saves me of watching fern and stark dying for old age. (I'm not a native english speaker, sorry for the english)
Can't believe how good Frieren was man... i remember seeing the hype for the manga back in 2020
It won pretty much every award it was nominated back then. So the hype made sense.
Frieren not only inspires you to spend time with your loved ones but, for me at least, it has inspired me to make the most out of my life in all avenues.
Ah, this seriously made me cry.
Ah, damn onions.
That's so true.
Episode 10 and 21 are amazing and show almost a perfect build up to an absolute goosebumps inducing moment. But the episode with the grandpa Voll is what hit me the hardest too. Frieren balances slice of life cozy moments and action epic moments so well, I can’t praise it enough.
Ep 23 cliffhanger was too hype to list?
Someone who never saw frieren after watching this clip "What fucking anime is this?". This clip does not even talk about the anime but its such a great recommendation.
Honestly frieren made me let go of a relationship that I had in the past bc they kept giving me hope but after watch the show i realized that all adventures have to end all story's have to end and too live with the happy memories in me but to let go of what is no longer there ;)
I can’t wait to see the Golden Land Arc animated. Macht is such an interesting character
Frieren is also my favorite anime and Its because I passed 30... me at 20 years would have not considered even watching this.
That was unexpectedly touching.
Gonna rewatch that ep again. I might cry.
I’m going to be really sad when season 1 ends. Frieren is a generational anime and I need more of it. ❤
Frieren really do be hitting different than other anime. Other anime that tried are also good with the power of friendship and all that....but Frieren really hits the IRL stuff and the "Oh sh*t I've never been through this but why do I feel so melancholic and nostalgic" type vibes❤
himmel meant a lot in Frieren's past, teaching her things she would not even think of in just one one hundreth of her lifetime
heiter tricked her into giving her a future
eisen is her anchor to the present
After having read a good bunch of the negative reviews of the anime on MAL, I can confidently say that most of them were projecting their own feelings on the anime, mentioning stuff such as overhyped, empty and no feelings, without explaining themselves further. I find it scary that the people who would need to watch this anime the most are the ones who don't even understand it. I hope they give the anime another chance after another 10 years.
Frieren will always be my favorite anime,
We always need a reminder of what's important.
Same, with my grandparents, I want to see them more.
The one anime that FMAB fanboys couldnt take down
It hasn't even finished airing, once it's done its gone in a couple months, FMAB will be back on top
because most fmab fanboys actually like frieren
@@magnificentbananabutter2475only 3 episodes left, Frieren even raised in rating...by 0.01.
I believe that on their way to finds flaw by reading the manga or watching the anime, half of them became fans of the series.
@@magnificentbananabutter2475 it will eventually be dethroned yes. But it's almost over and it went up in rating technically. By a very small amount yes but its been ages since an anime that dethroned fmab actually continued to rise positive ratings wise.
So far it seems the review Bombing hasn't stopped Frieren from keeping up
Friren is one of thoe rare manga/anime that really puts things into perspective. It reinforces the importance of spending time with those you care about.
I just discovered Frieren recently and I can totally relate to how Gigguk feels. This show is really special.
Good work life balance is knowing what's important. Frieren out here changing lives one nerd at a time.
Genuinely, every time the ending theme starts to play, I start to cry, it's such a visceral reaction after reading what the actual lyrics are, and it just hits me, every damn time
Garnt had an Adam Sandler's CLICK revelation.
It's funny to think that in 10, 20, 30 years people will just randomly stumble into Frieren not knowing what a massive cultural moment it was. And just get their socks knocked off. Even with all the hype going around today, I wasn't ready for how good th show is.
THIS. I love the show because of how well it expresses what matters to us (and what should). But it does this in a subtle way that is just perfect; it doesnt shove the message down your throat but makes you SEE why the message is so important. Frieren finally realizes the power of relationships with others regardless of the fact she will have to say goodbye, that things still matter and are worth doing even though they will end. But even just her little hobby of collecting these "useless" spells speaks volumes about the core message of the show. Really, It tells us about what matters for each character. What being a hero and good person is really about, the value in helping others, having fun with those you care about being paramount, the sorrow of loss and how death effects people. Hell, it even quickly talks about suicide with Fern and belief in the afterlife with Heiter. It covers so many things with such subtly and grace (usually) that makes the show far more impactful and meaningful compared to any other anime I have ever seen, including Vinalnd Saga and Violet Evergarden. This show being the best anime of all time is completely fitting.
PS. dont really like the focus on time people always give the show since It takes away from the core about the relationships you have with others. Its not JUST that they wont always be around, since even if they WERE they would matter all the same. Care about your friends and family because a lonely life is no life at all; one spent with people who care about you while caring about them, one spent pursuing things that make you and others happy, is a life you will find far more meaningful than one chasing lofty goals that dont really matter to you all alone. You should love people, make friends, and cherish those around you because the alternative sucks in comparison (just look at frieren herself).
Frieren is just very wonderful, the feelings it creates, the way it portraits its character... the powerful story.
im just so glad to see these shows with these meaningful lessons for adults to take away. both Frieren and Vinland are so fucking good for this.
you people should watch this japanese movie called perfect days that released in 2023 starring the great koji yakusho and directed by wim wenders, I felt like it was a movie that gave a similar philosphy to frieren and its so beautiful. it also won best screenplay at Cannes.
there's a spanish youtuber that I follow and it's already a meme for him to make videos like "I was wrong with " but it's really funny and actually animes that also didn't seem good for me made me considered watching it and it was good. So yeah I hope Gigguk also make a "I was wrong with Frieren" or something like that xD
Ilutv?
I am fortunate that I had people who have taught me frierens life lessons. Special credit to a teacher in high school who was my personal formation tutor
Imagine you have a friend whos lifespan is of 5 months and you play with them for the 1st month then theu grow young and you spend time for the next 3 months and then suddenly 1 day you wake up with nothing changed but you cant find your friend,
This is how it feels for frieren with stark and fern
And in himmel's case she skipped the last 3 months which is why she regrets wasting the little time she was given
Man, I love Garnt and his thoughts.
i watched this live and it made me tear up a bit, man
The Chills
This show is kinda of like fumetsu no anatae with its concept of valueing life spans.
The latter is the faster, dramatic. This is more mellow and soothing.
Subjectively more relatable in Frieren's case.
Vin Diesel says it and everyone makes fun of him but an elf says it and everyone's emotional. Vin deserves some praise too you know
I didnt watch friren untill ep 22 came out then i binge watched the whole thing in one night its definitely in my top 5 of all time
I feel that, do what's important, what you can only do now.
Unironically I’ve completely changed my life view because of this goddamn show. Completely aware of my own mortality I’m gonna be living to make memories and nothing else
Frieren changes so many people's life, aww. Spend more time with people you love, you never know when they won't be there for you anymore
Frieren is probably one of the very big exceptions where the hype is actually more than justified. Easily the best anime in years, if not decades.
i just discovered that the director of frieren and bocchi the rock are the same person
Haven't watched Vinland Sagan, but if it's anything like Frieren, I will definitely be watching it.
Its such a beautiful reminder yet bittersweet for some reason to me
I'm watching Frieren with my mom. I think the reason why it doesn't hit either of us as hard as it does for most is because we already live like that well before this. With how much death is in her family, specifically, she doesn't need to be reminded of it. And Since I grew up going to funeral after funeral since I was a baby, I am pretty numb to it,. As I watch the people around me age, I often do daydream of their deaths, and what I need to do with them while they are still here.
I mean, I still love the show, but it isn't changing my life or anything. It wasn't my favorite of 2023, but I can see why people see it as such.
3:10 i enjoy how he says "miss the deadline" like we were expecting a video that day lol. TH-camrs need to get their mind out of the gutter. There job is more flexible than most jobs, if you need time for your family or friends just do that. Your job will be there when you get back if you have a secured fan base
Frieren is my top 3 anime now
Man has his priorities straightened up thanks to the power of anime.
IDK how you can even mention Vinland in the same vein as Frieren. Frieren's the best anime of the past probably 10 years, nothing new compares to it.
Frieren managed to give him the anime equivalent of post-nut clarity
This is legit lovely anime moment that I adore
And It's even more important for him and his parent because he is an only son.
Garnt learned to appreciate Frieren Friday
the idioms in frieren is SO good
Vinland Saga is in my top 5 anime and manga but being caught up to the Frieren anime and manga I have to say it makes a case for top 10. Both series are excellent in their own right.
This show and how the concept of time is presented. Its a masterpiece
An anime that is more influential to me than frieren was ReLife i know this is situational af and frieren had better lessons but the charecter connection in relife was crazy especially in the manga
Frieren taught me that my lifetime is meaningless compared to the world or the universe and that it doesnt matter what i do.
i mean what are a mere 100 years.
