| I've finally started watching this and wow, the animation really is as beautiful as everyone kept saying. The meteor shower scene especially. It was absolutely gorgeous. Also, poor Himmel… he really did not age well compared to the rest of the party. Even Heiter looked like a reasonably older version of himself, but Himmel was almost a completely different person by the time Frieren came back. Overall, I really liked this first episode, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here. |
 |
| It's the first episode and I already cried 😬. This does not bode well for me |
...At least let me finish.   |
| Today I finally decided to start watching Frieren. It really feels like the perspective of someone who wished for eternal life, only to slowly watch everyone they love grow old and fade away while they remain the same. There’s something deeply painful about how quiet it is, how time just keeps moving forward without mercy. |
 |
| I havent seen an anime jump characters from being young straight into old age in a long time so this episode felt really weird to me time passing that fast just feels strange honestly I hope they somehow all come back because Ive never experienced something like this before and it hit me harder than I expected |
 |
| loved the concept of this anime, time is ruthless |
| Doing my third re-watch right now right before the second season is coming out, and man I don't know why but every time I rewatch the scene at Himmel's grave it makes me cry a little bit more... I remember on my first watch I didn't even shed a tear and I even thought Frieren was a bit apathetic and cold which is crazy to think about cause over time she became one of my favorite characters. |
| Amazing first episode! I can't believe how good that was. It got me in the feels right off the bat, its kind of crazy. I like this beginning, seeing what happens after the hero's party journey end's is something that's pretty interesting. I feel I have an idea of the themes that this show will cover just off this episode and idk if I'm ready lol. I'm excited! |
| No idea why it's so much hyped. Didn't like the 1st ep much. I couldn't relate to any of the characters. Will see. |
~~ofcourse I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice~~ |
| I couldn't understand the excitement over the first and second season of the show. But, I started re-reading the manga. After watching the first episode, it has a nostalgic vibe. Himmel passed away --- emotional. Meteor showers fifty years ago and fifty years later. The gist of the series and the episode is for Frieren to learn the value of human life. Time does not mean anything to her because fifty years or a hundred years is a trifling thing; it's just another day to her. As viewers, we're here to learn that lesson. I do understand why this series could be "boring" for viewers. Same here. That's why I have to re-read the manga before watching the first episode of the show. YOASOBI did a fantastic job on the opening and so did milet: soulful and nostalgic music. |
