I don’t even know if I can say what it is, but Frieren justs hits differently than near anything else I can think of. It just yanks you from sweet and peaceful to dark and intense and back like it’s no thing.
The biggest thing I could say, is that by following Freiren’s perspective, you see what it would be like to be someone near immortal who sees that as normal, and how she starts to understand the timescale of humanity like we’re funny little mayflies with lifespans like a flash in the pan. But as she takes the time to actually get to know humans, she learns that our short lives give us a strengths that elves and demons will never be able to grasp.
It’s a slice of life and a fighting show in one. Characters and the world get really fleshed out, and they feel a lot more like real people. It’s a good balance been cute and fun and some killer battles or competitions. I’d think most people would get hooked right from the first episode, but it really gets to full awesomeness during Ep 3.
