Love is stored in warm cheeks for freezing-cold fingers to touch

Bonus:

You know that scene where Stark says that Eisen told him Frieren always made their trip a ridiculous one, and then it's a flashback to Frieren making shaved ice with her new grimoire for Heiter and Heiter said he would take on armies to experience such fluffiness? You know how they showed an open chest in the middle of the scene? What if that was a chest that the magic spell for checking mimics said was a mimic, and Frieren checked it anyways cause she always says those only have a 99% chance of being right, and it wasn't a mimic and they got a cool spell!

FRIEREN!!

Finally got around to watching/reading Frieren:Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren/Frieren the Slayer). And It's so! Good!

Female protagonist!!! Without romance involved!! Thats so rare! (Yes I know Himmel is supposed to be her love interest but like he's dead! It's not a traditional romance!)

The character writing is done so well too! Sterotypical personalities but they aren't pushed into the sterotype? There's realistic character growth? They learn from their mistakes and change accordingly?

The action animation should not be this good for a Slice-Of-Life Fantasy anime. Stark's fight scene with the solar dragon looked so good!

Slowburn Romance between Stark and Fern. And it's not a priority! Its not romance for romance's sake! Its 2 individually realized characters with their own story arc that happen to fall in love, not a character and their one-dimensional love interest!

Stark! He's a 'coward' but he's not snively and annoying in the way most cowards are written. His fear is real! It makes sense in the context, and its also addressed and overcome!

Fern! That's it! Fern!

The way Frieren is portrayed is so good too ! She seems aloof and uncaring, but she's not. They've balanced the caring side of her with the part that doesn't really understand humans and their urgency and sense of time.

Himmel is shown to be so kind and helpful, but also shown to be quite vain, and caring about his image and how people will see and remember him. But that's never shown as a bad thing. But rather as something that just is. There are negatives (the waste of time when he's choosing a pose for his statue) but also positives (he says one of the reasons he makes sure there are so many statues of him is so that Frieren won't have to feel alone in the future).

The story is the embodiment of the phrase- The Journey is more important than the Destination. Sure they're going to Aureole in the present, and they went to slay the demon king in the past. But the big moments aren't really treated like that. It's the smaller moments- the character interactions - the errands and side quests that are elaborated on. There are practically no extreme fights at the start since Frieren is so OP. Low stakes most of the time - whether that me in action or the romance

Hieter and Eisen and how they love and care for their childeren and Frieren in the same regards.

It's not a life-changing or intese anime, but its quite relatable in the emotions. - the fear, the loss, the nostalgia, the happiness. The loss isn't seen as tragic however - it is as a natural part of life, is accepted and learned from. The only main thing that seems to be regretable is not getting to know your loved ones enough. And that's what the whole story is about. Frieren trying to undersatnd her former party members by recollectiong their adventures and also through experiencing new ones with Fern and Stark.

Stark the brave warrior! 🪓

[szeminimalist]

The most satisfying episode I have seen so far. It had the mixture of exhilarating, orgasmic feels that made me rewatch the episode 3 times, yea call me crazy. I have no idea why some people labelled this anime as boring but for me, this has got to be one of the best anime I have watched this year. I'm looking to every Friday for now and yes, this party needs a monk alright!

Bobby is always at the scene of the crime smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[and if I tell you that Mr. Nash has been playing cupid since 2x01?]

I love how Oliver deemed it absolutely necessary that we all have to know that he (and Buck by extension) was the one who ripped Ryan's (Eddie's) shirt. Like, thank you Buddie Ship Co-Captain we love you too. Stay strong Buddie warrior xoxo

Stark is just That Guy. "He helped me push my cart" "he hung out with us kids" "he rescued my cat from a tree" "he stopped my rampaging cow" he helps people and makes friends in every city he goes to. It reminds me of tiktok comment sections where people lie about how some guy helped them dig their car out of mud or gave them his winning lottery ticket or something equally ridiculous to gas him up, but stark is Just Like That.

It's also cool how the series uses this to build the relationship between fern and stark while maintaining the pattern of prioritizing scenes of how well liked a ridiculously strong character is over showing how strong they are. A core component of this series is that each character's worth comes from their relationships to others, and their strength comes second.

manga spoilers frieren

holy shit???? Sein is BACK!!!!

ALSO DiD you see my boy STARK!! Bro has insane reflexes

like wtf is this!!!

THATS SO FAR!! AND he noticed!!!

Its also kinda sad tho?? The writer seems to take stark out of the running so quickly. Like I mean we hear about how strong stark is but weve barely seen it. its like bro needs a handicap so he doesn't take over the storyline. I hope we get a stark focused arc soon
