Huh, so I guess Heiter was over 100? I mean let's say he was--bare minimum--20 when he joined the party, 30 when they beat the Demon King, then that's +50 years for the second stargazing trip, and the manga says it's been 20 years since Himmel's death when Frieren meets him with Fern. Spritely for his age!

I've watched all four episodes and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best TV manga adaptation ever made. The little animation details, the music and sound design, the VA work, the gorgeous backgrounds all serve to elevate an already great source material. If the quality maintains throughout, we've got a winner!

Ghosthotel posted:I just did a fresh re-read and I wanna say it's about 50ish chapters in. The first 4 episodes cover about 12 chapters so depending on how long the season is we could possibly get there but there's also a pretty logical place to end season 1 before that. We'll see!!! I think it's supposed to be a two cour, airing back to back.

Ccs posted:I'm not thrilled at how much it still borrows the aesthetics of jrpgs though. I wish fantasy would spread itself a bit further, though I suppose that's baked into this setting on purpose with the defeat of the demon lord thing. But it makes me care less about these characters that they seem like stock tropes (i'm sure there's an argument to be made that they only seem like stock tropes because we don't have much time to get to know them, and that can thematically link to how Frieren traveled with them but didn't bother to get know them that well, etc.)

I just figure the Demon King was a remarkable/terrifying figure, able to unite an asocial species beneath his banner.

It is kinda funny to me that if this were a sci-fi manga, the whole demon thing would kinda be a moot point.

cant cook creole bream posted:Why? You could form a society of murderbots with the same set of morals and values due to some weird statistical influxes in their machine learning algorithm. They would probably have eradicated their whole creators society in the backstory first. I'm thinking more along the lines of demons=aliens, and there are plenty of sci fi stories where the aliens are unknowable to humans cognition.

NowonSA posted:It was also fun early on to see Eisen say he's too old to go out adventuring when he was casually leaping way up in the air and knocking around a big monster with a tiny stick. I assume that despite all his protestations he's got some 100-odd years left in him.

The only actual adult in the party because Frieren's a low-key disaster of a person.

I feel like people are forgetting that, magic and monsters aside, this has still been a pretty stock Medieval setting, where information travels slowly and gets warped as it goes.

Why waste time on learning new combat spells when you could be learning one that helps you find lost sewing needles instead? (She doesn't sew.)

Anyway, now people can stop wondering who that mysterious elf girl is. Fwiw, my brother originally thought it was the demon king too.

Genau's name being what it is is funny to me, because when I lived in Austria it was basically used as a conversational filler word, kind of like we'd use "yeah" or "sure."

LostRook posted:Except that magic has numerous uses beyond fighting. Indeed, all the grimoires that Frieren has taken as a reward have been entirely unrelated to fighting. It's more akin to saying the number of engineers drops after a war is over. That's all folk magic tho. Like sure, there are only 6000 registered Imperial mages, but there are probably countless hedge wizards casting spells that make tea boil faster, they're just don't make the list.

Xelkelvos posted:It's also interesting to note that Series said that Freiren wasn't actually all that powerful for someone of her age which makes one wonder how powerful do Elven mages get if they're not specifically speccing to kill demons Pretty sure if Freiren shot one of her reality warping spells at Kraft he'd just parry it.

Sachant posted: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. It's like that famous saying: "The unexamined life owns completely lol."
