Frieren Season 2 Finale – Japanese Fans React to the Mahato Battle and S3 Announcement

Frieren Season 3 "Golden Land Arc" confirmed for October 2027 broadcast! That's still pretty far off.

October — that's soon! ...Oh wait, that's NEXT YEAR. What happened to Dungeon Meshi though?

Watching Frieren genuinely makes you feel like you're traveling alongside Frieren and the party. It's strange. Is it because of the otherworldly, immersive BGM?

For Frieren, the journey with Fern and Stark is — just like her journey with Himmel's hero party — premised on a fleeting, eventual separation. The feeling of slowly losing friends and acquaintances as you age is probably exactly this. Makes you think you should've kept in touch with your middle school and high school friends more.

Methode's line "Shall I cause a little chaos? ♪" is exquisite. Same vibe as the whispered "I'm coming to your room tonight" with a drooling lick — no matter how tired you are, you don't have the right to refuse.

Honestly we don't need Fern, I want Methode to join the main party.

Since the main theme is Denken visiting graves, of course Denken gets to shine. And having Fern defeat Solitaire is good — it shows Fern's growth.

It wasn't Denken's power alone — Denken, Frieren, Lernen, and Edel's combined force barely won.

Denken got the cool moments, but the actual MVPs of the Mahato subjugation were Frieren and Edel. Without those two there's no way Mahato gets defeated.

Mahato has consistently been ranked high in popularity from his very first appearance. Despite the dangerous hair.

Are there no dwarf mages? If Eisen could use healing magic he'd be unstoppable.

In Dungeon Meshi, dwarves were established as having weak magic aptitude. The Hobbit (Lord of the Rings prequel) — no idea what they say about it.

Dwarves generally have low magic aptitude so it requires serious effort. Being a warrior is much easier. More notably, that elf guy being a monk is impressive — elves have low physical stats so they're not suited for front-line classes. Unless you spend your entire long lifespan training your body, that is.

Once the magic mist clears, Fern — who has Frieren's mana suppression training and the mana detection ability to even sense Serie's hidden mana — would have the advantage over Hemon up close. The reason she kept distance was to prevent the enemy from tracing her Zoltraak's impact points.

I've been curious about that assassination technique Frieren used on Lugner's subordinates — making them explode from the neck. I wonder how broadly it works against other demons. That's clearly a magic designed purely to kill.

I sometimes shout "Zoltraaaaak!" in my car when I see a weird-driving vehicle. Occasionally the smart speaker responds with "Sorry, I didn't catch that," and after enough repetitions it starts saying "I'm sorry" on behalf of the moron car. Good speaker.

If you used "shouting Zoltraak alone in the car" as the activation keyword for the Zoltraak OST to play through the car speakers — that would make you a Hero Car. I'd watch the video.

On my way home the rain was incredibly heavy and misty, so I tried quietly muttering "Erilfrate." Turns out I have no magical talent.

Thanks to the spoiler menace, my anticipation for the next season has been ruined. Well done, spoiler menace. May the curse-words of all our combined hatred attach themselves to the spoiler menace forever.

This is what happens with popular works that have a lot of fans. Same as G-Quaxx.

I can't say Frieren is well-made enough to keep me hooked. Trigun is so perfect I'd want to praise it, but I don't feel like watching either. Both are good works, but...

And yet you continued watching and posted here? Strange. Comparing it to Trigun is so juvenile it's basically Eva vs. Ultraman level. It's obvious you're actually deeply curious and helplessly in love with this anime adaptation. If you actually disliked it you wouldn't even open the board. It reeks of can't-stop-thinking-about-the-girl-who-doesn't-notice-you energy — like a child resorting to skirt-flipping or stalking because they can't communicate.

As a critique of the work itself: the whole "demon race" setup feels like it could promote real-world racism and prejudice. Hard for me to rate it highly because of that.
