chiasaur11 posted:The thing of that is, Frieren is a well documented historical figure. People are still alive who spent time with her during the quest to kill the demon king, even if most of them are very, very old by now. continuing with my idiotic "Sousou no Frieren is a rejection of the end of history following the close of the cold war" train of thought, Frieren is Eduard Shevardnadze. obviously.

GateOfD posted:it is pretty interesting that the modern era of academic mages uses elemental spells. DeadFatDuckFat posted:Have there been indications of some kind of magic academy in the magic city where people go to learn or does everyone just go the apprentice/self taught route worldbuilding in frieren is very slow and sparse and very "show, don't tell" (which is good) but yeah, it kinda suggests that most mages go through academies (at least nowadays) and fern's kinda the oddball for studying under a master and having limited contact with broader magical society. ive not quite squared (or missed) how she got her level 3 qual though--hasn't she basically just been chilling at heiter's and studying until setting off with frieren? i guess maybe in the timeskip between frieren arriving at heiter's and leaving with fern maybe she dropped down to the local magic city as a teenager and said "yo, exam me"

all the efficiency concern feels kinda odd--you can technically exhaust your mana per the rules of the worldbuilding, but have we actually seen it happen? it seems pretty rare in practice. i guess babby fern not having enough to destroy the rock early on counts, but she was young and inexperienced frieren was concerned about running out when their wagon got seized up into the air, but was then like "eh whatever" and they all landed fine anyway

alternatively, mages of this era just decided it was too boring compared to cool spells like TURN EVERY FLOWER PETAL TO METAL AND CUT YOUR ENEMY TO SHREDS WITH THEM! HARDCORE! BADASS!

DeadFatDuckFat posted:I meant more that they know of an elf named frieren that was part of the hero's party since Lawine called her legendary. But its probably not that big of a leap to figure it out. I guess Kanne didn't pay attention in class or something frieren wasn't actually concerned that fern would die, she just didn't want to deal with badgering her to read her magical history text because she knows no apprentice does presumably flamme was like "yo frieren you should read this old magic grimoire" all the time and frieren was like "nah it aint got no demon killin techniques inside" BUT ACTUALLY obscure sour grapes spells turn out to be inexplicably useful for demon murder, and thus formed the seed of regret that spawned frieren's obscure grimoire obsession

Squidster posted:A rich and hearty lol that the manga version of the clone Laufen fight was two panels long. This is ALL of it. the manga being lazy about fights (or rather not drawing out fights with entire chapters of nothing but fight scenes) gives the animators plenty of free space to just fill in whatever cool poo poo they want and i love it see also: all three pages of the qual fight versus ep 3. it's impressive how much you can fit into a minute of animation the extra "oh you can fly now" bit is nice Qtotonibudinibudet fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Feb 17, 2024 |

Übel sure left an impression, though. she's maybe slightly more memorable than assorted wirbel companions and redhead meatball hair girl that's just sorta there all the time

Brutal Garcon posted:"Frieren carried them"? The first test was competitive, and the second scaled with the power of the participants. arguably, frieren was the major impediment in the second test. a bunch of people got down to the bottom without even encountering any mimics, so if hers hadn't rushed down there to lock the door, they'd have just won easily okay, maybe the demon would have sent not-Sense down there instead, but whatever

Skippy McPants posted:Land was just being smart. If you can make perfect copies of yourself, you'd be stupid to ever put the "real" you anywhere near to anything even potentially dangerous. come to think of it, we never do see a (demonic) clone of him show up during the second test, do we? that's a nice touch if im not just forgetting it

TwoPair posted:Since the final episode came out, I finished watching the dub and it's one of the best dubs I've heard around and I strongly suggest you try it if you wanna give the show a rewatch. The only thing that that I could even complain about is that Denken's voice was higher than the sub and that threw me but you get used to it pretty quick. the MVP though is definitely Jordan Dash Cruz as Stark though. really? i found it very hit or miss. stark is good but frieren sounds like she recorded all her lines solo without much direction this may be one of those cases where i dont pick up on tone in japanese VA as well and don't notice how deadpan the JP VA is also
