I finally started watching the other week and now have caught up to the manga as well. What an incredible series- having a show that has as much about contemplation of your past deeds as well as enough action to keep things exciting without it turning into just a shonen punch fest is really refreshing. The quiet parts are so drat good.

Yeah with many of these villages that have folk spells (like the make grapes sour one) I assumed that there are lots of people that have a very low level of mana that can learn such things but they never become actual mages as they don’t have any ability to cast something stronger than such things.

I'm curious if they will ever tell us how long Serie has been a mage. Or how old she and Frieren are.

From what's been said about her, I assume Serie's from the Godess' era, so definitely older than Frieren.

Oh for sure- but I'm just curious if she's been around since humans were basically Neanderthals or something.I figure that Frieren is at least a few hundred years old by the time she starts training under Flamme but it's all just theorizing.

There's tons of fanservice in Frieren it just happens to be headpats and Fern's pouty face

There was that absolutely lewd scene where Frieren actually blew a kiss. I can't believe that was aired. Don't they know that CHILDREN watch the show?!? :stonk:

Edit: now that I think about it I wonder if that scene was kind of a tip of the hat to the scene in the original Dragon Ball of Emperor Pilaf blowing a kiss to Bulma and his henches being aghast at how lewd he was being.

I enjoy that Frieren's suitcase is obviously a Suitcase of Holding but they never explicitly state that it is one.

She picks up a new four pound grimoire every two months. It would only take 20 years to fill a standard bag of holding to capacity. That thing is some kind of epic bullshit item that she thinks is totally normal.

There are also other items like shadow dragon horns, weird beast skulls, etc.

Übel's logic on how her cutting magic works is perfectly logical to me. To me the others saying she's insane tells me that they don't understand magic as well as she does in a pure way.

But if her name really is intended to be as literal as everyone else's (and not a rare red herring), I guess that's fine too, just a bit of a letdown.

I take it as the same way for the same reasons and I'm just headcanoning it that way until she does an obvious "evil" thing.

She seeks it out a little. She pointedly knew the bandits were there and stopped so they could accost her.

But if you kill a bunch of killers, you've saved all the people they would have killed later :black101:

The real reason here for the exam is that Serie, having lived for thousands upon thousands of years has grown tired of all known entertainment except for the one genre that will forever be interesting : shounen tournament arcs.

All of those books in her place aren't grimoires but tankobans

Yeah Frieren is one of the few anime that I think actually surpasses the manga in certain ways as opposed to being not as good.

Gully Foyle posted:

Definitely going to go read the manga now, no way I can just wait for a new season.

It's available on the Viz manga app if you have an ipad; it's great to read that way.

edit 2: the end of the anime season is chapter 60.
