BELLE: Making Classics Modern
The longer you're an anime fan, the more you may come across improbable sequels/remakes. Spice and Wolf S3 was memed for the longest time, only to receive a reboot almost 15 years after its original airing. But, is that necessarily a good thing?
Here, I discuss the power of recontextualization. Taking something you think you know, and twisting it to make something entirely new. Sorry about the end :P

Frieren's Exam Arc is Underrated
Переглядів 67 тис.2 місяці тому
When I first started watching Frieren, it seemed like the perfect show. I mean, it was such a breath of fresh air among all of the isekai and video-game style anime we're inundated with year after year. That's why I, among others, were pretty disappointed once it started to veer towards more typical fantasy fodder. We should've never doubted it. For Frieren's exam arc is not a departure from wh...

There's a concept known as a "Third Place." It's somewhere people can spend their time that's not their house or their work. And the general consensus is that they're dwindling.

Third places are where communities are strengthened, friends are made, and ...

The Meaning of Nyanpasu Is The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of "Nyanpasu"? I think ultimately, it *has* no meaning, and through that fact, it becomes overwhelmingly meaningful. What? you ask, 'that makes no sense?'

But I'd like to show you how absurdity and childhood coalesce into the little philosopher that i...

What Violet Evergarden Taught Me About Being a Nurse

    15:29 "To be remembered is to live on through others" This here is my biggest problem with the story because it is ignoring the biggest and most important way people live on through others: children. Nobody has any children or parents in this story, everyone is an orphan or never had kids. None of the original party has any posterity, and the concept itself is almost totally alien to elves like Frieren. Its as if human beings just pop up like flowers conjured by magic.

    Absolutely nothing about Frieren is unique and every part of it has been done before, and it's certainly not perfect or even a 9/10. It's about twelve episodes of plot spread over twenty episodes. People were just so blindsided by the existence of good writing in a time and medium with nearly none that it was proclaimed a masterpiece.

    Hmm, I disagree. I still think the exam arc is the weakest arc in the series, but at least introduces some decent characters. Unfortunately, after reading the manga, it doesn't really reach the highs that it did in the first few chapters.

    I love the agreeing and considering conversations people have when it comes to frieren. No arguing over whose the strongest and no weird fandoms or saying "but this character from this completely random anime is stronger". I think thats the art of frieren, everyone agrees with the series no matter what the topic is. Kts just that impactful of a show.

    Literally the most overrated anime of all time. I'm not even saying it's bad, but I've seen comments say, without irony, that "every single episode of the entire 28 episodes was a life changing moment that left me feeling empty inside knowing I could never see it for the fist time again." And I've seen people say "I literally cried every single episode." Not even Neon Genesis Evangelion is this overrated. I am fully, genuinely convinced that tens of thousands of individuals would actually kyll themselves if it granted them the ability to binge watch the entire completed story before they died. My point in saying all this is to point out that calling a single square millimetre of a single frame of this series "underrated" is an outrageous joke. It's like saying The Beatles are underrated.

    For me it was when we learned the spell Fern chose. The exam was hectic and forced people to prove themselves. Fern did that and succeeded in society's game, but then chose not to conform to society's ways but to choose a life that is focused on relationships and simple pleasures. That's why she stuck with Frieren and that's why she picked the spell she did.

    I'd say Yuru Camp is objectively better. Better pacing, better characters, and it has more respect people's boundaries. But I still persobally enjoy Yama no Susume more because I am more attracted to mountain hiking than winter camping. So even if one show is objectively better, it may not be more enjoyable since that's mostly subjective

    I loved the series from the beginning. I was caught by the feel-good nostalgic style from episode 1, could feel tears welling up when Himmel was buried, and I was estatic when Fern shot through the rock. I felt anger and bewilderment when Stark showed his cowardice the first time, and in awe when Eisen said he was *afraid* of that little, redheaded bull of a man. The very same that would bend a massive dragon to his will seconds later. Their stories and everyday life is full of engagements, reality to a degree, and the trifles of life. When it came out that Himmel, the Hero that slayed the Demon King, didn't even have the Hero's Sword because he couldn’t lift it from the stone, that was when one of my most loved moments happened. He did that as a "fake hero", but he did it nonetheless. The exam was absolutely the logical point to take, for Fern to fully realise herself as a mage, and I'm surprised and saddened that anyone would think of this series as boring or mid...

After that you can't just tell me that Hamlet wonders should he end his life of should he not.
