I just realized they called him Richter because he controls earth(quakes).

Frieren stoped using basic magic.

IIRC she only said it was sufficient for defeating mages of this era, which doesn't include herself.

Cheating a bit here with the second screenshot by mashing frames together, but I did like this contrast from Ep. 21 and how it recontextualizes Frieren breaking Serie's barrier. The show's writing does this sort of thing a lot.

This show makes really good use of first-person sequences.

Might just be me but I think she's just crazy.

For someone so old, Serie seems extremely petty.

Have you met old people?

The show does a good job of simultaneously presenting Frieren is extremely powerful but not unassailably so. There are moments in the series that feel like Frieren can just trivialize any challenge, but the more you learn about her and her antagonists/foils, the more you realize that that isn't the case and tension there properly builds.

It's remarkably consistent how often Serie is shown completely talking out of her own rear end in back-to-back shots. She seemingly has no understanding of herself, or ability to admit anything to herself.

Like with exception of Serie people don't know how old Frieren is, the most they can figure out is "well she was around 80 years ago."

It's weird how nobody seems to know these things. Like, Fern doesn't know how Frieren is, or that she was trained by Flamme? Or that Frieren knows Serie? Really? Years spent traveling together and none of these things just happened to come up?

You know, with thousands of years at her disposal, you'd think Serie would build some thrones she fits into better.

I'll take your word for it.

If Serie misses all of her students so much why doesn't she just go to Ende with Frieren?

Yes I realize this is a "why don't they just ride the eagles" question.

I'm cosplaying Old Himmel at a local anime con soon and am very much hoping to get a photo with all the million Frieren cosplayers and me just dead on the floor in front of them.
