tsob posted:...I feared that it'd instead be a chapter long fight with some back and forth in a chapter dedicated to them trading blows. The chapter being mostly flashback/setup for Frieran ending it in seconds, without any real investment in it or drawn out conflict is a swerve from what I was expecting, and better for it. Also the flower bed magic is first mentioned in chapter 3

golden bubble posted:It certainly shifts the tone of the work. Previously, it seemed like she was detached because she was ancient and elven. But now it looks like her personality is due to her multi-millenium struggle in the forever war between demons and other races. She's not some sort eccentric elf from the mists of time, but rather Mikazuki Augus but actually-1000-years-old. It's just too bad that Frieran doesn't give her enemies insulting nicknames because she figures she's killing them too quickly to bother with remembering anything else.

She's spent several decades planning to kill Aura, and several centuries, if not a full millenia training to kill the Demon King; there's nothing quick or forgettable about that. Her not remembering their names wouldn't fit with her personality, or her actions.

Hypocrisy posted:Frieran will be okay as the pile of snow she collapses in will turn out to be a mimic. Why are you all calling her Frieran? Is it just because the thread OP did it wrong? Literally every person and place has a super on the nose name in German. Her name is Frieren. Which means freezing. So RIP her. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Oct 22, 2020 |

Unfortunately she will not be attending it, because she will have frozen to death, as that is what her name means you buffoon.

Wow that's some melt down. Maybe you should ask Frieren how to keep cool.

Frierin can only conjure shaved ice to keep you cool, but can't conjure syrup so that you can enjoy shaved ice dessert while keeping cool. How deplorable.

I’d never thought about how one of the things about living practically forever isn’t just that everyone you know will die, but all your accomplishments will probably also be forgotten. Also I thought the monk was going to be the requisite clergy party member all adventuring parties need.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't pop up again in the next few chapters given how he's been compared to Heiter already.

Man, this manga is absolutely amazing when it's playing with its themes. It's got this kind of wistful, melancholy tone about life and death and legacy, and I really like how it touches on the timelessness angle by always being willing to skip forward time between panels, to the point where years can pass between the frames of a page. It's just such a unique and well done comic.

It's just such a unique and well done comic. Yeah, the demon arc felt like we were just going into more standard territory, but this is what makes Frieran interesting in the first place. All the weight of centuries, watching everything fade away or change, and just having to live with it.

Also the casual mention of the passing of half a year to multiple years at a time in a single chapter, which has happened repeatedly recently, meaning we will likely be saying our farewells to the current human party members maybe sooner than we expect.

All chapters since #6 have been 28 years after Himmel's death. The last time it took Frieren's party 10 years to get to the castle, so it shouldn't take longer than that.

Goddamn. Personally I hated the demon arc with a passion, but when this manga hits, it hits. "Do you know who I am?" "I don't." "Figures, I've no idea who you are either." - "She was a mage in the hero's party." "Yeah, but before that?" "What are you implying?" "We are elves." Simple but powerful.

Yeah, I get the feeling that this manga is going to have like 3-4 iterations of the same general arc. There will be an occasional battle arc wherein Frieren will give no fucks and totally wreck poo poo while the humans freak out. The manga is basically ennui art.

The demon arc had a few good kicks as well though. "Little girl, I have devoted most of my life to magic" and Fern confidently replying "as have I" was really memorable. And so was Eisen telling Stark "get up until you win".

I enjoyed the "demon arc", as much as people complained elsewhere about the manga moving towards being a battle manga, the actual fights themselves were pretty subdued and the rest of the arc gave us backstory and another look at the demons.

In any other series, I would say this was setting up something for the future. With Frieren, it's probably just a neat bit of world building.

I'm a bit disappointed that no one in Frieren's current party even tried to pull the sword out. But it's fine.

I'm going with "there's no way to pull the sword out, it's a motivation test". Anyone who gets discouraged because they can't isn't hero material to begin with. But he should have tried.
