Sousou no Frieren

one of the most overhyped, overrated anime of all time going by general reaction to it. i've seen it win "Best anime ever"-votes and that's just ridiculous.

I somehow cannot see Mfauli's latest comment here. It shows in the front page, but when I click it, I don't see it here.

Lol, did my posting get deleted because I dared say that Frieren is not the best anime of all time? :D

Now I see it. Probably just a bug.

I think people like how easygoing and lackadaisical it is because that is different from the usual mainstream dramatic and/or hype anime.

:/

Fern and others need some parents to punch them some sense into.

I missed replying to this one.

Are you complaining about the lack of tactical realism in Jack and the Beanstalk dude? What kind of example is this? Yes, to be clear, it is absolutely good storytelling that the simpleton Jack's credulity leads to actual magic, instead of a lesson about the dangers of the barter economy as he starves to death. Similarly, Frieren is a better story because the characters waste time and do stupid emotion and nostalgia-driven things as compared to a lifeless version of this story where they are just tacti-cool badasses.

Cow of his Dead.

OMG, it's like Diablo's Cow Level but they are all zombies.

watched it all in three days, 15 episodes today.
