Holy shit a thumbnail!

Patrick

Well done! Good thumbnail. I never actually noticed that you didn’t use them.

cosmotron

Frieren Friday is the best day of the week!

Jack SV

Nah this is not right… I’m gonna miss the old thumbnails :( I was getting used to that couch as a background.

HenryM

Production levels have reached a new high!

T T T

Holy shit. Didn't know you girls had a bachelor's degree in digital arts.

Darrach

Wow a thumbnail! What a time to be alive. At this rate, by 2026 they’ll have updated their playlists on YouTube 😉

Just like Frieren learning to embrace change, we must also welcome the new thumbnails

halfeldian

Frieren did not just change and improve for the best, Lola and Milena too 😂😂😂 Happy Frieren Friday indeed! (nice thumbnail btw)

Patreon subs will be the only ones to see the funny thumbnails from full reactions. More reasons to be a patreon member.

Update the playlists or update your ages in the description… pick your poison 💀👀

Jay Craig

Fucking hilarious honestly but it’s a nice thumbnail!

Gudea

Lmao that t-shirt

Isaac

Improvement looks good on you both! The Invincible intros were so fun

>>146110682

Funny. I've been watching them since I was 26. (Walking dead 7x01) I turned 33 a few weeks ago.

RubénMO

I will forever miss the couch-thumbnail, but this new improved one is actually really good

Robert H.

I don't like change :( But the thumbnail looks good :3

halfeldian

Have 3 things to say, first, the common auto-bot comment for this episode 1) finally! No sob backstory for actual demons, very anti-thesis for a lot of demon/creature revolved anime, but just predators who are doing their thing to survive. Love this in the post discussion 2) With the statement above, Frieren was tagged "racist" in social media because of her knowledge of demon from this episode. It was honestly just for fun, the usual memes, until some 4chan posts and some tweets took it seriously that garnered a bit of attention. But overall, if you're around Twitter let it be known that most of the time "autistic racist elf" is a banter for our beloved girlie right there 3) just like 5-6, I think it's also best that you guys watch episode 8-10 together😁 EDIT: I love the Ging line so much too ladies :D

Mra Keung

I need more Frieren.

Kaycee

Omg the thumbnail is so cute! It’s a new era.

Michael Cannon

Oh my god not thumbnails. In two years you'll get an editor and we'll all cheer lol. /s

Robert H.

The concept of a "human race" that must eat human flesh in order to survive and not out of a desire to kill, while being exactly like humans (empathy, feelings, self awareness, personality), is discussed in detail in Tokyo Ghoul. It's still a shame that the manga has never been properly adapted. The manga is really good.

Sneed

Lola they are literal demons, not everyone can be redeemed

Aris

New heights have been reached, everyone. Honestly I always took the "no-thumbnail thumbnail" to be LM's trademark and I was quite attached to it but still, I welcome this change, it looks really good!

Robert H.
>>146110426

Kind of feel the same way :D But I'll give the new thumbnails a chance.

Jay

90% of shows would humanize demons which is cool to see, but I really like that this show took the opposite and portrayed them as creatures who can’t comprehend sympathy and would do anything to survive. It’s very refreshing and unique.

ODIS

Love the thumbnail! And love this little arc in Frieren!

Robert H.
>>146119786

I completely agree with you. There are so many stories where evil is painted gray with their backstories, their feelings, their trauma. A show that simply lets evil be evil seems almost innovative again.

Sebastian

the lack of thumbnails was always kind of charming tbh. i can get down with the new era though, the camera angle switch up last year felt like a big change but now everyone is used to it

cosmotron
>>146119786

I do think there's potential to still explore them in interesting ways beyond what's shown here as well. Like, as you said, they are survivalists, so I do think it would be interesting to meet demons who are living peacefully in one form or another because it helps with their own survival. But idk if that's something that is explored in the future or not!

Kaycee

So Qual, the monster that frieren unfreezes and fights with fern, is in fact a demon. He worked for the demon king. Not that it’s that important anymore lol.

sand_fl

frieren fridays are healing for my soul and mind ngl

Gangster Pikachu

The only thing you are missing now is an editor (please get one)

natan

Yeah the intelligent beings who are innately evil is a bummer, since it kind of mirrors real life justifications for bigotry/violence. But I get that the setting is old-fashioned fantasy where monsters are monsters, so it is what it is

Richard Rear

yeah demons are animals that just look human. a tiger is not evil its just there nature, trouble they look human so we push our values on them but in the end of the day they are animals, lots of discusion about there values but they have none, i think thats what they are trying to say

RG MG

I disagree about demon slayer, I think you’ll love the sibling bond so much also it has so much heart in it not just action ❤️

Killikat

Rather than being evil, demons are more amoral. Think of demons like cats - they meow at people for food because it gets them a reaction but they don't mean anything by it. We also don't call them evil just because they hunt, its just their nature and what they need to survive. If season 2 ever gets made, there's a really amazing arc it'll cover where the demon discussion takes center stage. It's absolutely my favorite arc of the series so lots to look forward to.

i don’t think that frieren’s portrayal of demons is as innovative as people think 🥲 but then again i’m in the minority who’s not a big fan of this show

Paska Kääpiö
>>146158854

I think it's a breath of fresh air in a way that there's lots of stories right now out there that make demons or other monsters misunderstood creatures that you can or are even supposed to sympathize with. Or just in general make the antagonist something very nuanced and gray. And there's nothing wrong with that when it is done well. Yet here they are just purely acting according to their nature of being predators to humans. Like you said it's not anything super innovative (and it doesn't have to be). I think the reason people like it (or at least why I do) is because it is just refreshing, nothing more. But each to their own of course.

Robert H.

I don't know how the others see it, but I would watch episodes 9 and 10 together.

Kaycee
>>146147995

I agree. I think people hate on demon slayer way too much. I don’t understand why an anime with a simple story is an issue. If you don’t like the characters that’s fine but I think they would really love tanjiro. He’s one of the kindest and most selfless MCs.

RG MG
>>146147995

Tanjiro would be their ultimate “my boyyyy” he’s one of my favorites MCs actually, they liked Frieren which follows characters exploring life so I think they would love Demon Slayer

Elle
>>146137134

The real life equivalent of other races would be dwarves and elves who still share innate “humanity” despite being different from humans in appearance, culture and longevity. The demons here pray on the desire to project human emotions onto anything that resembles a human. So it would be like being bigoted to a non-mammal species of wild animal (one that doesn’t instinctually protect its own young) that is combined with an artificial intelligence. If there’s any connection being made to real people, the Frieren demons feel more like an exaggerated reflection of real life “demons” who commit mass murder and only act in self-interest. Through this lens, the *spoilers* are the victims of the demons’ bigotry and *spoiler* is a survivor of that.

Kaycee
>>146147995

Yea I always find myself choosing side characters as my favorite characters in a lot of animes but I have to say tanjiro and Thorfinn are probably my favorite MCs and favorite characters of their respective animes haha. Also they would love Rengoku so much

Lau
>>146118433

oh how would I love for it to have a remake and properly adapt the manga; the whole work is very dear to me, since I was introduced to anime and manga through it 🥹 I still think tokyo ghoul anime is worth watching, but definitely falls off with the direction and execution by the staff and studio decisions.

Brian Vincent
>>146158854

the fact they arent afraid to have a pretty straight forward evil is refreshing plus there is still a lot the show hasn't shown form the manga/LN so id wait to see how you feel if you watch more later on

RPSiege
>>146137134

I totally get where ntn is coming from though. There is a history of othering different ethnicities for being too different from us. Even in your example, it’s almost like saying, “well, dwarves and elves are close enough to acting like us and have similar customs, so they can be included” while thinking the demons are too barbaric to be considered “human-like”. Unfortunately this has occurred too many times in history with actual humans, where it’s easier to make a culture an enemy if we just make them seem like animals, for me to be 100% with this type of storytelling. Many writers have written monsters as stand-ins for their racist views, first one coming to mind being Lovecraft. I’m not saying it’s bad to have truly evil/amoral characters, that definitely makes for a interesting journey, and I don’t need antagonists to have a sob story, but to have a whole race of them be portrayed like that can feel a bit gross just by looking at our own history. Even if a leader of a people are being bigoted towards others, it doesn’t necessarily have to mean that the people as a whole are bigoted. I certainly don’t won’t to be viewed as sharing the views of some of my “leaders”.

Frieren's demons are like the ultimate threat to empathetic people. They win by pleading for their life and telling stories you'll connect to and hoping you're a kind enough person to hesitate. I wouldn't survive in the Frieren world

Hannah N
>>146147995

I think they'd like Demon Slayer enough to finish it but I don't think they'd love it

Isaiah Cox
>>146147995

Me too I don’t understand how anyone who has watched even half of their reactions could think they would dislike demon slayer. They would die from tanjiro alone

RG MG
>>146147995

Right!!! And Rengoku OMG they would adoooore him 💯

fe de
>>146158854

i get why people think that i just don’t think it’s fun or interesting 🤷🏻‍♀️

halfeldian
>>146158854

can't really expect it from a fan of a show where everyone is just likable with no risky trait and plot to begin with (I watched/read hq btw) to absorb something unconventional, just simply skill issue

enchantertim
>>146158854

My only gripe is, what's the point? People keep saying it's "refreshing" (which it may be for recent years where we got a lot of stories with nuanced characters and antagonists, but it's nothing new. We had orcs from LOTR way back when), but if that's the only point then there's no meaning to it other than being contrarian. You can still have your evil characters and enemies, that's not my problem. But what's the point of making an entire species/race of conscious beings inherently evil?? I mean they can think like humans. Lügner literally assessed the situation, did some deduction from checking out the room and was actually able to empathise with his enemy. So they're clearly smarter than your regular animals or beasts. They're sentient but somehow wired to be evil? Why? What's the point? Does this contribute to the story in any meaningful way? Now, in the future if this concept is gonna lead to some very interesting storylines or ideas, then I will refrain my judgment until then. But if that's not the case, in terms of writing I see no point to this other than being reactionary, which is just hollow

Berezant

Honestly, an entire race of Villanelles sounds like a real nightmare to deal with...

David Brown

Violet and Frieren are also classified within the slice of life genre. A little understood genre, but one that has given us some real gems in recent years.

“my favourite character himmel.. himmel… the second he fucking opens his mouth my eyes start to water” lola the way i’ve quoted this on EVERY rewatch of frieren, if himmel was real he’d be so satisfied with himself knowing his power over us.. and our tear glands. also yes fern is ridiculous, she’s soooo eldest daughter (trademark)
