@TakonoTakoUwU Damn fr you just blew my mind but it would make sense people would regard him as a holy symbol against the darkness that tried to end humanity. Makes a lot of sense story wise.
@@sourcesymbiosismetamorphis2228If you notice the demons only started causing trouble again 28 years ago, right after Himmel died. He left them so shook that they would not dare cause trouble until they knew for sure Himmel had passed.
@@OppaiSensei-ds4mjYe, Himmel and Bakugo have the same voice actor, you can actually hear it when Himmel gets mad at the kid for flipping Frieren's skirt at the end of Episode 3.
Not sure if you noticed, but a list of spells fern asks frieren about included: A spell to derust statues and a spell to make grapes sour. The derust in episde 2 for Himmels statue and in episode 3 Eisen says his favorite food is sour grapes.
the thing about frieren enjoying the sunrise isn't about her enjoying the sunrise itself, but how she's happy when she sees someone who enjoys that happy
11:06 Eisen (not Aizen, nothing to do with Bleach) means iron in German, a lot of names in Frieren are borrowed or inspired from German. Fern means remote, Himmel means heaven, Heiter means bright and Frieren means freeze.
@@pakboris2268 Not at all, "Aizen" from Bleach is written in kanji with 藍染 also pronounced "aizome" and means indigo dye. Although the Japanese prononciation of Eisen from Frieren does sound the same and would be romanized identically it is written with Katakana "アイゼン" as expected of non Japanese words.
The time of Himmels death is used as a staple and turning point for Frieren and her journey! Instead of wandering around Apathetically after his death she is choosing to learn about humans instead of regretting she knew more about her comrades but instead trying her best to learn from their point of view and guidance even after their death almost like they live through her and the memories they had together.
as a german i will translate all german names...so basically all names, frieren - freezing himmel - sky/heaven eisen - iron heiter - joy, as in someone who is joyous fern - far, as in something/someone thats far away ewig (the presumed resurection magic guy) - forever qual - agony/torture flamme - this one is pretty obvious but it measn "flame" ende, the northern continent - another easy one, "ende" obviously means "the end"
Noticed in the flash back where eisen said "I like sour grapes sourer the better" it all links bro, thats why she got the spell to makes grapes sour , himmel likes flower fields so she got the spell for that, heiter likes to drink so she got the spell to make warm tea in hopes he'll quit drinking alcohol, it all links togather, she's just not showing it.
My man discovered peak anime.. and thanks for doing an hour long reaction.. cant wait for more.. Frieren has banger OST from Evan Call Frieren has a lot of heavy tear jerking moments from it's great storytelling Frieren has awesome scenery and artstyle Frieren even has great animation on its action scenes, even if it isn't a battle focused show.. This show just got crafted with love by Madhouse and it's manga creator.. it's just so PEAK 😊
I still like good reactions of Frieren anyway but I always appreciate people who react to this anime's first 4 episodes at once and put them in one video here, just like how they premiered the first 4 episodes at once
welcome to the new gen peak my friend. this show might be pretty chill and relaxed but the way the story is told is so incredibly satisfying that even a Shonen junkie like me can find myself wanting more episodes
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Sousou no Frieren. I hope you really enjoy this anime series! A lot of modern Japanese fantasy is tailored after the Lord of the Rings. Frieren is very Tokeinesque, so Elves are nearly immortal, Dwarves like a few hundred years and humans 70-90 years. Just a few things if no one else has mentioned it; this anime is really about paying attention to little details, as small things make emotional impacts later in series. For instance, the reason why Frieren bought a hair clip that had a butterfly design was because the first time Fern showed Heiter her magic, she made an illusion of glowing butterflies. You DO learn why Frieren has a habit of collecting spells, and it all starts with her master, who is revealed in Episode 4 and you learn way more about her in the penultimate mid-season episode 10. There is a thought that since Preists are the onlky ones who can effectively use holy magic (dispelling and resisting curses, casting blessings and healing) that they are also granted longer lives than normal. It's speculated that Heiter passed away when he was over 100. Every name in Frieren is a German word and they have meaning. There is a school of thought that this whole story is Frieren's reminiscence, since people are named for concepts that encapsulates a memory/impression, rather than normal German names. Frieren - Freezing Himmel - Sky or Heaven - pay attention to the times they show the Sky, as it almost always refers to Himmel or the memory of him Heiter - Jolly - Heiter is shown in future flashbacks as deflecting difficult emotional stress with humour or self-deprecation. Eisen - Iron - a great name for one of the strongest warriors in history Fern - Remote or distant Stark - Strong Flamme - Flame - The founder of Human Magic, Frieren's human Master. Potentially named for the Promethean legend, the giant who taught the gift of fire to humans in Greek mythology, but also for setting Frieren on the path to thawing her heart. Qual - Torment Aura - Aura Lügner - Liar Linie - Line, as in production, watch the way she summons things Draht - Wire Graf Garnat - Count Garnet - the stone that is part of the family amulet is a red garnet. Kraft - Power, Strength Sein - Being or Existence Kanne - Container or pot Lawine - Avalanche Wirbel - Whirl or Vortex Übel - Evil or Villain Denken - Thinking Land - Country Richter - a reference to the founder of hte Richter Scale, the measure of earthquake intensity Laufen - Runner Ehre - Honor or Glory Scharf - Sharp Sense - Scythe Genau - Exactly or Precisely Falsch - Wrong or Mistaken Lernen - Learn Edel - Noble Blei - Lead the metal Dünste - Steamy or hazy Ton - Sound or Tone Länge - Length of time or duration Methode - Method Serie - Series, as in items in a group (a book series, for example) Notice that the way time is marked in the anime is based on Himmel's death (such as "20 years after the Death of Himmel the Hero.") It's not certain if this is universal or how Frieren marks her time. Frieren recently toppled FullMetal Alchemist from the top spot on MyAnimeList (MAL), where it had sat for more than a decade. Both are Shonen manga that have women mangakas, and both start with loss. Both are praised for it's excellent characterization, emotional intensity and touching sentimentalism. Lastly, the series is named "Sousou no Frieren." While this has often been translated as "Frieren The Slayer" that is INCORRECT. "Sousou no" is the act of "sending off" as in a funeral. So while the manga title may be translated as "Frieren, the Final Farewell to the Dead" since that's more literary, the more exact translation is "Frieren the Undertaker." This has more than one meaning, but the two most common interpretations is that we learn that Elves in Frieren are essentially immortal, so Frieren will eventually "send off" all her non-elven friends. The second meaning is to "see someone off" is also a euphemism for killing and is Frieren is first identified by a demon as the titular character.
good write up. Its stated later that dwarfs live for about 300 years, but Old Man Voll is about 400. I thought Himmel and Heiter were about the same age and Himmel I think passed in his 70s and I think this means Heiter passed around 90+. But its not clear to me how old they were when the started on their question. I figured late 20s.
It's not speculated that Heiter died at over 100 yo but known. When they finished their 10 adventure Heither was in his early 30s. 50 years pass and he meets Frieren again. After this another 20 years pass and Frieren meetd Fern and Heiter. After 4 years of Fern growing and mastering magic he collapses and is bedridden. From here only less than a year pased and he dies. So you have 30+50+ 20+4+1 = aprox 105 years old
My thumbs up at the early callout about Hieter tricking Frieren but you definitely would gotten a like at that Himmel from the grave. You had me rolling 😂
My take is that they refer to time as "Himmel's passing" because it's in Frieren's perspective. For someone who didn't have any sense of time due to her lifespan, time only started to have meaning when Himmel passed and she realized how important it is
fun fact the names in this show are all german as it seem frieren= freeze eisen= iron heiter= bright himmel= heaven and they do represent the meaning of there name if you look at the characters there are even way more people in this show where this is the case
I have seen the first episode 2 times directly and at least 5 times on reaction, so far i teared up at himmels funeral every time. Also in the flashback eisen told ger likes dour grapes. Remember how frieren in the last episode collected a spell tgat turns sweet grapes into sour ones?!
Nice, 1st one i watched a reaction of who didnt say "Did Heiter turn evil?"... My 1st thought was also.. What a sneaky old man to keep Frieren there to teach Fern
Interesting how Frieren's journey is not so much about getting to know people, but one of self-discovery. And Himmel is like a magic mirror revealing the sides of her she wasn't aware of for thousand years.
I think, what Frieren meant in Episode 4 when she said "It was a MERE 10-years adventure" is different from what she said in Episode 1. In episode 1, I think she meant it in a literal way like it was nothing. In episode 4, I think she meant that their sweet time adventuring together will ONLY take another 10-years, making her feel sad that it's just going to be FUN yet only for a short amount of time.
Btw people don't realise but himmel was older that heiter. They drew him like a teenager but he was well in his late 20s when they faught the demon king
@@vegboylokesh7778 it's not in the anime, but we learn at some point later that Himmel was 23 when they were in year 7 of their journey. Doesn't really affect the plot in any way, just trivia
45:57 "They should make more animes like this." Well, technically they do. That's the "slice of life" genre in a nutshell. But if you want another happy-mood slice of life set in a fantasy world that eventually develops into crazy action & political intrigue, then you should check out Ascendance of a Bookworm. The first 3 seasons' animation is kinda low-budget, but the upcoming 4th season is being picked up by WIT Studio of Attack on Titan fame (seasons 1-3).
Also Mr neel those black and white pannels are called Impact frames. It's my favourite style or effect too. Also just imagine black clover in this art style, Oh man it could hae been greatness
Elf lifespans vary from series to series. Some have them living for several 100 years, others have them be immortal or nearly so. We don't know how long elves can live in this series. Dwarfs can live for about 300 years. I expect human lifespans to be about the same as us. I think Himmel and Heiter are about the same age as they grew up together. I think others worked out that Himmel passed in his 70s and Heiter in his 90s. We know that Frieren is over 1000 but not exactly. She meet Flamme 1000 years ago.
Probably the first time I've seen a reactor not automatically jump to the conclusion that nearly every demon/monster they see in a flashback MUST be the Demon King. :p
most likely the time scaling with himmels death has to do with frierens realization that she didnt grabbed the opportunity to learn more about him and humans in generall and that thinking changed at this point maybe a bit
Neel, you are able to connect with people from all over the world in an instant. We got magic. It's just that our genius people invented it. It's called technology
Hi, about English tittle, "Beyond Journey's End", Japanese original tittle is "Sou-sou no Frieren", you see at the opening credit. 1st Kanji-letter; Sou means 'funeral',' burial' and 'to send someone into the grave'. 2nd Kanji-letter means 'to send'. i.e., "Frieren, sending off'er at the funeral" and another meaning is "Frieren, the sender into the grave". which is "the slayer".
episode 1-4 is actually the first episode itself :)) they released it in full length thats why it cuts off that rapidly enjoy my man just enjoy its more then worth it
In lord of the rings they are literally unagaing and unless killed immortal. Many Fantasy worlds have them as longer lived but not necessarily immortal aka a few hundred years.
How old can Elves get? Well, depends on the setting. If you go with Lord of the Rings, they are - literally - somewhat immortal. If you take Galadriel at the time that Frodo is on his journey, then she's about 14000 years old... So - from 200,300 years up to immortal, everything is in it ;) Worst thing for Frieren though... these ends will happen again and again - as long as she has some kind of relationship to humans. Or dwarfes - they live way longer than humans, but also short compared to an elf. So... maybe it's for the best if she's not THAT emotional.
man I cant wait for him to react to more frieren (I know that like up to episode 8 is on patreon but 10 dollars for early access is to expensive for me) eidt: please uplaod 2 episodes in one reaction
Fun Fact, so Many or Almost every Name are Random German Words thats so Funny as a German. Like Himmel is Sky or Heaven. Eisen is Iron... Kinda Funny yeah
"xx years after the death of Himmel the Hero"
Because it's the most important turning point in Frieren's life.
its also the way that world counts time, Himmel was like jesus christ

You’re not wrong but i just wanted to add on that Fern is more so “distant” than remote. And Heiter is more “cheerful”
@@gibio396 True, this is more in line with the characters too.

The Voice Actor for Frieren is also Anya's VA.
Yeeeessss, Neel reacting to Frieren, finally
I saw many elfs in anime but frieren is something
Himmel as a human got old fastest. Then heiter as a priest with healing abilities, the Eisen, as a dwarf lives for 300-400 years, then frieren
I should be sleeping now because i have class really early tomorrow buuut.. that can wait i guess 😂
In lord of the rings they are literally unagaing and unless killed immortal. Many Fantasy worlds have them as longer lived but not necessarily immortal aka a few hundred years.
42:18 Not much longer, that's for sure! Lol
How old can Elves get? Well, depends on the setting. If you go with Lord of the Rings, they are - literally - somewhat immortal. If you take Galadriel at the time that Frodo is on his journey, then she's about 14000 years old...
So - from 200,300 years up to immortal, everything is in it ;)
Worst thing for Frieren though... these ends will happen again and again - as long as she has some kind of relationship to humans. Or dwarfes - they live way longer than humans, but also short compared to an elf. So... maybe it's for the best if she's not THAT emotional.
Elfe lifespan change depending on the source, in average they are said to live for 5000 years but in some they live for over 10k
Ye, but in this show they pretty much can't die of old age
btw i think you missed the sweet connection with the sour grapes :)) she collected this "useless" spell now we know why :)))
He mentioned it when Eisen was eating them
U expect no less from madhouse. At this point, I feel like hxh and frieren are my favorite animes because they were animated by this amazing studio.
For my opinion one of the best anime in the world. Serious.
Demons Zoltraak is Black
humans/elf is white
the MAN experienced PEAK
man I cant wait for him to react to more frieren (I know that like up to episode 8 is on patreon but 10 dollars for early access is to expensive for me)
eidt: please uplaod 2 episodes in one reaction
16:50 bro read that like a book
Can't wait for you to watch episodes 25 & 26
All according to Eisen-sama's plan 😂
Frieren is Fern mother, but
Fern also being mother to her mother (frieren)
7:35 You literally pulled that info from your arse good mister. Himmel is probably older than Haiter and probably by about 5-10 years.
In general in high fantasy dwarves live typically serval hundreds of years and Elves are nigh-immortal if not killed. Think LOTR...
as for how long elves live, forever it seems lol
One of the best anime
Fun Fact, so Many or Almost every Name are Random German Words thats so Funny as a German. Like Himmel is Sky or Heaven. Eisen is Iron... Kinda Funny yeah
And btw Frieren means Like Freezing. thats so Cool If u See her facial expressions are More Like "Cold" yk?
A learned after few episodes that his show doesnt run on predictions and stereotipes.
Fern would be a good hunter. Well loved by animals.
yay, frieren, also the dub is amazing (in my opinion maybe better than sub).
Frieren developed the zoltraak vaccine lmao
