A Disappointing Fantasy Adventure: A Review of "Frieren"
Have you ever been recommended an anime that you believe will be fire but end up getting disappointed? Yep, that's me. Hello, anime community. It's another great week for us to share our experiences in the anime world.
I recently gave "Frieren" a try, after a friend suggested it to me, hoping it would capture my attention with its unique blend of fantasy and adventure. Unfortunately, after watching five episodes, I found myself struggling to stay engaged. I mean, there are so many things I just don't flow with in this anime. It was so hard to understand the storyline since they kept going back and forth.
I am not here to give criticism, but I am only sharing my opinion on what I felt while watching it; others may have a different opinion.
One of the things I noticed about the anime was that it was an adventure kind of anime, which always contains nice fight scenes, but the fight scenes in Frieren felt uninspired and
is lacking in excitement. The action sequences didn't quite live up to my expectations, and I found myself yawning at the predictability of the battles.
Frieren, the main character, is an interesting concept - an immortal elf who sets out on an adventure after her human friend died. However, her personality and actions didn't resonate with me. She was too cool and lacked motivation to do anything; her view of life was more of nothing lasts so she has no interest in things that can't compete with her immortality. She often exhibits childlike behavior, which makes it challenging for me to take her seriously as a protagonist. I saw that she started changing in a way and started showing little feelings to other people around her.
I continued watching "Frieren" in hopes that the story would pick up and reveal something intriguing. But sorry to me, nothing interesting is yet to happen, and I think I will waste a lot of my time finishing this series. I wish someone could tell me I am wrong, so my hope for it can be renewed.
A Boredom-Filled Watch
Currently, I only watch "Frieren" when I feel bored, and even then, it doesn't quite hold my attention. Should I continue or go for something else? Please tell me.
Thanks for reading. I hope someone tells me something that might intrigue me. My name is Fashtioluwa.
It's nice to hear a different opinion sometimes I actually don't watch but I only heard good things about this anime so it's nice to read a different point of view.
Well, that’s just how I feel about the anime. Sometimes people only say the good part and are scared of saying the truth
The truth is that it lacks a lot of little things. Good post! 💛
Thanks so much. It really does lack a lot of things. Thanks for reading
I watched this and meh. Somehow having to watch this one, nothing is quite memorable and didn't know why I started it. I am not sure if you should continue but I'd skip it if I were you and looking for something else to watch.
I think I’ll skip it and focus on something else

es una historia interesante y buena, excelente post!
it's an interesting and good story, excellent post!
It was an adventure anime and it was great. I'm even more interested in watching this anime.
I know it’s an adventure anime but it wasn’t having the adventures genre adventure anime use to have
Every time I hear a bad review about a good anime I always check if the person actually even watched, welp, you have a point on Frieren's character, I can understand that part as they aren't exactly engaging, for me I accepted it as the flaws that they have so I still keep watching, to each their own. 🙃
Yeah, I am not saying the anime is bad bad, I was talking about my expectation. It's an adventure anime and I was expecting some kind of action from frieren but she just doesn't care. Lol, that's why I asked if I should continue or it was gonna be like that till the last episode.
Sousou no Frieren is one of the best anime I've ever seen, honestly. I've seen it twice now, and I'm still amazed at how wonderful it is overall. Its animation, its characters, its soundtrack, its story—everything is so perfect that it's hard to find something that resembles this audiovisual marvel.
Good review.
