5/10
Disappointed
5 February 2024
I was completely unfamiliar with this work but was intrigued by the overwhelmingly positive ratings it received everywhere. Frieren generates a lot of buzz within the manga community. So, out of curiosity, I decided to give it a watch. However, I never managed to engage with it. Even with effort.. It's not a bad piece of work, but it's just not for me. I found myself bored and unable to connect with it.

I wonder if people are genuine with their ratings or if they're just following the trend.

Positive points: the art and animation are excellent, and the work explores some interesting philosophical themes.

Negative points: The characters are average, their character design is average, the plot is average, lacking action, the characters aren't very intelligent, the pace is slow, there are few stakes, in fact, there's just nothing exceptional about it. There are dozens of works much better than this.
