Shadow and Light | Frieren Episode 25 Reaction | Psych Student Reacts: 葬送のフリーレン

I'm planning on becoming a therapist and clinical researcher one day. But in the meantime, I always loved reactions and now I started reacting myself. I'm here to discuss with you the beauty of various media, from anime over games to maybe even some TV series and movies and help bring psychology closer to everyone, highlighting how it is an aspect of nearly everything we do and experience in our lives. I hope you come along on this journey. If you want to support my journey in understanding, analysing and talking about anime there is a Patreon up. I do recommend the Student or Scholar tier for starters. For Scholar tier or higher, Made in Abyss is on Patreon about 2 week(s) early, JJK is 1 week ahead, but I only react to 2-3 episodes in any given month. Frieren is generally released for all Patrons 1-3 days before the public release on Youtube. Not always tho. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐏𝐢𝐏 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬) If you want to watch the Pixeldrain, you need to log into a (free) pixeldrain account, or DL the episode. Mega/Bitchute should work for the most part but the former has limited space, so ill have to rotate the alternatives a bit. If any of the links don't work let me know. Also it would be amazing if you can let the YT video run in the background or come back for the discussion, I would really appreciate it 🫀 ❤️ 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 Credits Music: Remember by @lofigeek Discussion Track: 'Lone Wolf' by @guinabernardes 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕤: 0:00 - Discussion, Animation Talk 24:00 - Reaction Start and Sanmwich 25:52 - Chowing down 26:00 - Reaction 44:10 - Mean Cliffhanger, Discussion, more Animation Talk #reaction #frieren #sousounofrieren #frierenbeyondjourneysend #TerminuS

The Blue Savior

Thanks for the reaction and discussion afterwards! I found Serie to be one of the most interesting characters to delve into in this show. Perhaps my own take on her is more incorrectly optimistic, but this is what I observed: She contradicts with herself, as if there's two different versions of Serie; what she puts out and verbally expresses, and the version that is not obviously seen. It's almost like she, on some level, doesn't even agree with her own words, but thinks it's necessary to say it. It's obvious she has seen countless people come and go, and civilizations rise and fall so barriers and desensitization are a given, but the momentary expression she makes when she learns of Flamme's death is pretty interesting before going "Ah, she's dead, oh well. I didn't care about her." And she repeats that sentence again, that she only trained her on a whim, the second time almost to herself. After assuring Frieren, the viewer and herself that Flamme was nothing to her and that they didn't understand each other at all (before Frieren pointed out Flamme, in fact, did understand her and what she'd do), Serie then proceeds to perfectly recall Flamme, her favorite spell, her dream, how she understood her, even going as far as holding the child memory of Flamme's hand. Perhaps it's a stretch, but the more I watch that child Flamme memory scene, the more Serie looks like a grieving mother with a closed heart, her coping mechanism is indifference and lying to herself. To top it all off, after her subtle almost-emotional outburst in slow motion of refusing Flamme's will and saying humans will be this and that, after 1000 years of getting over herself, she does, in fact, follow through with Flamme's will and take over the training of human mages. We have no way of knowing exactly what state humanity's magic could've been in when Serie showed up when she first took over, but an optimistic take is it could've been in a more archaic state, and that this is a net improvement, regardless of the nature of how Serie runs it. I don't think she's necessarily racist, if she was I doubt she'd want anything to do with Flamme or getting heavily involved with humanity's magic and training their mages in the first place if she saw them as her adversary, though I agree that she does only have interest in those who show potential/talent, not just anyone. Sorry for the wall of text lol. I just think it's really neat how many layers of possible interpretations there are.

Endymion

Frieren edging us hard with that cliffhanger.

TerminuS: Reactions, Reviews and Discussions

I didn't necessarily mean racist. Most people aren't straight-up racist. I think most of racism or things that get close to it are being caused by being afraid of something possibly threatening coming your way. Serie's case is special tho. I feel there is some stereotypes in there and I also feel she at least USED TO look down on humans, and she certainly was not happy about what kind of age might be coming her way where magic ceases to be special cause technically everyone could learn it. More elitism than racism. And I hard agree on her contradicting herself. I think that is still part of herself, but that she does lie to herself cause in reality some part of her DOES care about Flamme, I totally agree with you there. The question is will she resolve this dissonance at some point in the last 3 episodes.
