Frieren is a hell of a show. So glad this final installment survived the powercut. It would have been a shame to have lost so pure and beautiful a reaction to a piece of art as the end of this video. Thank you for watching this and allowing us to accompany you on this journey. I look forward to your future thoughts,

I 100% percent recommend apothecary diaries, it's one of my most recent favorites it's got a good blend of moments, humor, and also music. I think it'd be good to give it at least 3 episodes to see if you will like it!

In the fight with clone Frieren, the clone used OG Zoltraak, Qual's version. That's why it was black instead of white. Also, I've gotten close to crying for other anime, but it took Frieren to push me into crying almost every episode. The ending of this season especially. We don't really see the faces of the party while they're talking, except Himmel. And then he turns his back to us and walks on into the light. Apothecary Diaries is probably the next anime I've enjoyed this much, but for a different reason. Maomao is just so good of a main character and the show is superbly written. It's just so great how it appears episodic at first and then toward the end of the first season everything seems to tie in together in such a satisfying way.

Apothecary Diaries was the anime I watched immediately after Frieren and it was a great follow-up. It is hard for any show to really follow Frieren, but I though Apothecary Diaries was able to. It is one of my favorite anime shows. If I had to do a Top 5 anime for me it would be: 1. Frieren 2. Monster 3. Cowboy Bebop 4. Apothecary Diaries 5. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Wirbel’s “Death isn’t the only goodbye in this life” line from the final episode really stuck with me, and pushed me to reach out to people that I haven’t spoken to in a while. I also just wanted to say, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching you react to Frieren. Thank you for letting us experience the journey with you!

One thing to point out with the final scene there when himmel says "It would be embarrassing if we met again" the image of him walking away is the image we see in episode 1 after himmel passes and frieren starts crying because she realises she won't see him again. Also its why she says she doesnt want to see himmel again in episode 4, because she would be embarrassed because she cried when he died. Beautiful anime, awesome reaction, so happy that you loved it!

Frieren truly is the most special piece of media I've watched in years. It's just so sincere, so genuine in what it sets out to express to the viewer. It feels like a cleanse of the soul to watch something so honestly embrace virtues like empathy, kindness, and appreciation for not just those you love, but for your fellow human as well. In a world full of cynicism, apathy, and lack of introspection, we really need media like this sometimes.

Good job on finishing this show Marco. You can take some time to digest it before jumping into the next one. Frieren can be a lot, especially with all the little things that you don't even notice but that make this show special when you add it all together. I really like that they ended this season with Serie. It's a really interesting character, and also the best mirror to Frieren we can have, close to her yet deeply different. Just like Frieren, she has trouble understanding emotions, including her own. She claims taking human disciples was a mistake, that a spell to make flowers is useless, yet she chooses to conduct her interviews surrounded by flowers, and everything in the way she acts and talks indicate that she is deeply mournful for her first disciple Flamme. By comparing her to Frieren's journey, there is so much to untangle, and so much left unsaid. Truly a magnificent work, this show is.

Oh yeah Serie share the same VA as Camellya. Her voice range is insane

When I tell you I was so mad I almost punched a hole in my wall i really mean it. I was devastated. Obviously kept my cool lol. The last three episodes here were so special.

MarcoMeatball

Ohhhhhhh that’s wild!!! About zoltraak - and good to know about AD

Recon Fox

If you like mech you can try Gundam witch of Mercury, they got goated ost too

I agree with others, apothecary diaries is good. I would also recommend Girls' Last Tour for the vibes. It has awesome OST, lighthearted chill vibes and some very deep themes. It's one of the few shows that made me laugh, smile melancholically and cry at the same time.

Sagus

Highly recommend Gurren Lagann. Really is a great over the top action super robo show with really one of the best lineages in staff and message.

Cosmo Reverb

I'm so glad you enjoyed this as much as you did. It very quickly became one of my favourite shows, one where each individual part is great, which only contributes all the more to the overall sum. It is frankly beautiful, and I appreciate you bringing us along with you on your journey through this season.

It was a pleasure to rewatch this series with you. Frieren truly is an anime which, to me, doesn't have a single bad episode. Even the less eventful ones like the last two are packed with meaningful emotions. Plus, this is the healing type of emotions, not the one that breaks your heart like A Silent Voice or Violet Evergarden. I will second The Apothecary Diaries. It also has traditional Chinese-inspired music, so this would be interesting to see your reaction as a professional in the field. I haven't watched Gurren Lagann, so I can't comment on that. I have several other animes that I love, but they are not as iconic as what people in the comments already mentioned.

Jun

I'm forever glad I kept on pushing for you to watch Frieren before you even got to make the second channel for anime reactions. It was great to rewatch the anime alongside you and reinforce my standing that this is my favorite anime because of how it made me feel. I will once again push for Apothecary Diaries, reason being that there will be a lot to unpack when you watch it. Gurren Lagann is great but I will still stick with Apothecary Diaries. Also, would love to hear your thoughts on your favorite Frieren ost now after watching the anime you could maybe make a video of your top 5 ost and what you specifically like about them.

I always thought it was super interesting how even though elves have such an incredible amount of time, they seem fairly mentally and emotionally immature (except for Kraft, he seems to have his life figured out.) And I agree, It's cool seeing Serie who's totally stuck in her ways and denying her own feelings with Frieren doing the exact opposite.

After having experienced Kino's Journey (2003), and Mushi-shi (both animes that I strongly recommend to watch if you liked Frieren) - I never thought I would experience an anime that evoked such strong feelings of travel and philosophy again.

Firstly, i might ramble a little but let me start of by saying thank you for doing this watch along. This was my third time rewatching Frieren. Ever since it came out this show simply marked me for being so.... human in ways i couldnt explain. The details in the characters, their relationships, the themes of real kindness, grief, gratitude, and that inevitable passage of time were just wow. Watching this here together with you made me appreciate it even more than i did due to your always knowledgeful insights on music, themes and symbolism. I am so glad i got to see my favorite content creator in such a human way. You reacted in such a similar way to how i did. This is one of the few anime that made me cry like a child again for some reason, and i found myself being grateful that theres someone else out there who shares the view. Im only in my early twenties so my friends and I never saw eye to eye when it came to this show. I found it so amazingly deep and contemplative, yet everybody just called it stretched out and boring, missing all the subtleties that you so perfectly highlighted each episode. So for that, thank you again Marco. I think there were only two shows that ever touched me so deeply, one being Frieren, and the second one being Violet Evergarden, the series and the movie. Violet Evergarden was the first show i ever cried to and wow did it mark me to this day. Funnily enough the music for both shows was made by Evan Call. To me he is a Hans Zimmer of anime music hahaha. I do hope to see you one day react to Violet Evergarden. It's such a beautiful story of self discovery and acceptance, grief and loss, and most importantly hope for the future. Much love, Violet. <3

that minute of silence knowing that this was one, if not THE, best story ever at the end... yeah, you are not alone just saying "yep." and watching a black screen. Thank you for the watch along Marco, this was my 2nd run on my favorite anime of all time

Just wanted to leave a comment to say I joined the Patreon to continue watching Frieren along with you after seeing the first few episodes on Youtube! While I appreciated your music analysis as always, what I appreciated the most was being able to connect on an even deeper emotional level with the show on the re-watch thanks to your insight and experience as someone who has lived through more of their life and experienced more loss. I think that's what makes this show truly beautiful, that one's perspective on the show itself and the passage of time can change as they experience that same time pass, or become more aware as they experience life alongside others. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch along with most other shows on here, as I am in the process of, or plan to watch them myself and want to avoid spoilers. But again, thank you for posting this series, and perhaps I will be able to enjoy re-watching the other series with you as well, after experiencing them for myself!

There's a small detail in episode 27 that always gives me chills when I think about it. When Serie is talking to the first class mages about how Frieren supresses her mana, her student Lernen compares Frieren's true mana to Serie's. Serie says the only other person to see through Frieren's suppression was the Demon King himself. And yet even Lernen never noticed that Serie's mana is also supressed. If Serie's supressed mana is comporable to Frieren's true mana, imagine how monumental Serie's true mana must be, a fact that presumably no one in history has ever realized... Until Fern saw Serie's mana and was frozen in terror, not because she saw the mana that the others feared, but because she was the first person in history to comprehend just how much of a monster Serie must really be.
