Can I just say, I really appreciate the introspection you bring to these discussions. The show itself is very reflective, however, you're the first I've seen to discuss those themes from a personal perspective rather than just what they mean for the characters in universe. Originally I appreciated the emphasis on the score, as that's something uniquely Marco and what I expected coming in. What I didn't expect was the personal nature of these vids, and its really heartening to see.

Thank you for your insights into not only the music but the psychology of each moment. Having seen these episodes and read the manga, I'm glad you're able to articulate the feelings I haven't been able to say.

Just noticed you uploaded this twice so in case you delete the other one. Here's my comment again. I love the scene where Himmel puts the ring on Frieren especially after the interpretation that the clock tower that stands between them represents the time separates them. The whole theme of Frieren being the passage of time and how we come to appreciate the past and look forward to the future. Its just a beautiful visual representation of their relationship. How they could have been together had Frieren understood the importance of time spent with those around us and how Himmel would have loved being able to spend more time with Frieren.

Aw I really appreciate that. Yea it’s morphing into something and it’s really surprising to me too tbh

Thanks Tony - I didn’t expect that either tbh. I appreciate it!

Didn’t even think about that - god that makes me so sad 😭

Another thing I think is neat is how altruistic Himmel's love for Frieren is. Its never imposed upon her, and he's always cognizant that their understandings of emotion are inherently very different. He basically proposes to her here. After returning from their journey, he doesn't see her for 50 years until right before his death, and that entire time he's just content to love her from a distance (emotionally and physically). Never married, never needed anything from her except to share those precious moments together ("We're not just stories, we really existed"). When you really think about it from his PoV, it really is beautifully tragic that she only begins to realize the extent of his feelings after death. Himmel even loved like a Hero.

I love how this show can go from the action-packed arc we just had, to this absolute beauty of character relationship building. I just love this series so much man.

So many little details in this episode. As far as the clock tower goes, add on to that the bells at the end. Theres only two other times we hear bells in the series, and its at Himmel's funeral and at Heiter's grave, so you've got the bells symbolizing 3 things: time, wedding, and death. I also love the little detail near the end from Fern. Throughout the series, Fern has always shown (understandable) impatience with regards to how time is spent, and has always pushed to keep going when Frieren wants to spend time somewhere. Then when looking for the ring, Fern says that they will not leave until they find the ring. These subtle character moments that can easily be missed are really incredible.

The part where Heiter mentions faking being an adult until he actually is one reminds me of so many other inspiring moments in shows. One of them from a French TV show (Kaamelott) based on the Arthurian legend has Arthur's mentor calming his impostor syndrome after being promoted out of nowhere: "Pretend to deserve your rank. If you pretend well, you'll see that one day, you won't need to anymore." I like this positivity of telling someone with potential that you believe in them to do their best and deserve to be what and who they are.

I felt this watching earlier episodes too, but I really wanted to comment that as a person meandering my own way through grief and the complacency I've fallen into the past couple years, I truly appreciate your own vulnerability in reflection on these moments. We all have our defenses up and I know you don't always want to be crying on the camera, but you should know it's meaningful to me as someone who finds something to cry about in almost every episode of this series. You commented previously that you were disappointed there wasn't more of this sort of deep reflection and introspection in discussion of the series in places like Reddit, and I very much agree. In addition it's important to see people modeling vulnerability, especially in this increasingly cynical world.

I just turned 31 and I’ve never let myself fully pursue music. I have the provelidge right now to maintain my current part time work and start any school I want. I still feel that pressure to do something money focused but really… maybe I’m just afraid to try

KittRembo

Totally agree with this. 5 years ago I moved to a new state with the love of my life and she completely destroyed that relationship and is now living a seemingly happy life with the person she left me for and I’m just…here. Years later and I’m just listing at this point, all sort of ambition and motivation just feels…gone. It really sucks, I also feel that about years going by, it’s scary as shit to think how much time has passed and I don’t feel like I’ve grown as much as I wanted to those many years ago. That part about
