I am still gonna try two more episodes, but episode one was boring and underwhelming to me. Not that anime needs to have action, because I also like slow films (one of my favorites being Rear Window), but episode 1 of Frieren did not hold my attention that well.
At the end I said out loud “this is what everyone is hyping about?”
Maybe I change my mind by episode 3, but if not I guess I will just have to leave my enjoyment of it to the memes.
I loved Frieren, but I get that it’s not for everyone. It is a story about grieving, building relationships, passing wisdom on to a next generation. Because of that I think it appeals to people that have experienced loss and are older.
For me? Frieren.

Frieren was an upper mid anime for me.
took me till episode 3 till I was hooked. But for me it was Steins Gate. Tried it 4 times over 6 years or so, never got beyond episode 2.
Relatable. I guess I’m just not into time travel
Understandable. I have dropped Steins;Gate before too.
Personally, I find that it only started getting good in the second half (i.e. episode 13 and beyond).
