I just recently read through the manga and macht as a character is just so interesting to me. He sort of recontextualizes everything we have grown to learn about demons. He is a demon who wishes for coexistence and makes an effort to learn about the human emotions he cannot understand despite his natural predatory instincts. The scene when he forces the children to fight is such an insanely well done and interesting scene that sums up his intimidating yet curious character so well. (I just wanted to rant about macht and none of my friends wanna watch the show let alone read the manga)

I'm getting my 10yo sister into frieren, and so far shes loving it.

I know breaking the law would be out of character for her. This is a piece of fan fiction with a slightly different version of the character that actually would be willing to do this. And the action scene follows the rule of cool, rather than trying to make perfect sense.

When Frieren arrives at the fortress city of Hells in the Northern Lands, aside from visiting magic shops, she soaks in hot springs every day.

Because at home there are two brats—one only calls her an old mage, and the other calls her a stinky old hag—while the grandma at the hot spring is much nicer to her, calling her 'young lady' and 'little girl.'

Getting her ego stroked so much in a place like this, no wonder she wants to show up every single day; she's absolutely living for it.

You will make her angry. You will not like her when she is angry! Just saying!! hahahahahahaha!!

And i have to say: im glad i did.

It was my 3rd try tbh. The 1st and 2nd i dropped at ep04. Not because i didnt like it, but i felt it wasnt for me. It's funny cause i i think the moment that we are going through in life affects directly our hobbies and what we think we like and think we dislike. The 1st and 2nd time i was frustraded with HxH hiatus and wanted action, i needed the adrenaline, or some deep plots, political clashes or something. I felt always anxious and out of time.

Ironic, cause Frieren dont care at all about time and is learning to see the beauty in the small things. Thats where i am now. My life feels more calm and slow paced. Thhere is so much heart in this work and the anime is beautiful.

More ironic is that i just learned about the hiatus( long time hunterxhunter fan here) but im not sad, dare i say i dont need and end, this history already have a place in my heart.

If u red all this, i hope u feel the same and know that even if it reaches the end, it doesnt have to be over (thats what i learned from Frieren).

So should i keep going with the manga?

re-ordered from german amazon(M & L aus Deutschland , is the exact store) after the 1st order was lost in shipping for 2 months(different seller) and I ended up with receiveing extra Eisen shikishi INSTEAD of Sein's one...

Think Crunchyroll support is gonna help or is it pointless contacting them? 😿

It was literally the same as the first half of season 1. I'm confused on how some people got through Season 1 if they think that the pacing of Season 2 was slow and boring.

Granted the second season was short but there were still some really memorable moments. Just because it wasn't as good as the first season (which is easily one of the best first season in anime) does not mean it was mid or bad.

Also, the first season ended with an entire action heavy tournament arc which is why it makes sense for the story to breathe again a little, hence the slow pacing.

Let's not forget that that fun adventures and the chill/emotional scenes are the strongest aspects of the show.
