Frieren creates a world where every decision is made in a way that feels almost pure—where things are done not because they are convenient, but because they are right. Take Sein leaving the group: no one tries to argue or convince him to stay, even though in any other story or real-life situation, you'd expect that. You’d think the group would negotiate or make promises, maybe even lie to keep him around for their own benefit. But that doesn’t happen here, and it’s so striking. Why? Because it wouldn’t be right to force someone into something they don’t want.

What’s so fascinating about this is that ... Frieren shows us a world that works on a moral compass that’s not driven by fear, manipulation, or selfishness. In the real world, decisions are rarely this clean. There are always compromises, conflicts, and sometimes even dishonesty to keep things together. But here, everything is so honest, and I think that’s what hits so deeply. It’s like the show gives us a glimpse of a world we wish we could live in—a world of complete emotional clarity.

And maybe that’s what brings on this feeling of Weltschmerz—the melancholy of comparing the idealized world of Frieren to the messy, complicated one we live in. It’s like the show reminds us of what we long for: a place where people do what’s right without hesitation, and where decisions are made with genuine integrity.
