[DISC] Frieren at the Funeral - Chapter 111
[DISC] Frieren at the Funeral - Chapter 111
We are finally back after 5 months.
I think Frieren is at its best when it is slow-paced, introspective, and even a bit philosophical. I was worried during the El Dorado arc that this story was going to pivot to have a bit more of an action/battle focus (even though there was plenty of non-battle content as well). This arc is a great return to form in my opinion.
In this chapter, there is a fight, but it mainly happens out of view and is implied. The focus is instead Frieren reflecting on her companions (old and new) and the nature of her journeys. Time travel stories have a tendency to become muddled and confusing, but so far this one has provided some great character building and has provided readers with a much better view of Frieren's old companions and allows us (and Frieren) to better understand the bonds she has with others.
So glad this one is back after hiatus.
The time travel is really helped by the fact that it doesn't really matter. Its just another tool to explore Frieren's world view and see how much shes grown and changed from when she was younger.
Also so fucking happy its back.
Agreed! I think a great moment after she traveled back in time was when her companions stopped her and asked her what's going on. They knew right away something was different despite Frieren's attempts to hide it. It served to show how close she was with her old party as well as how much she has unknowingly changed over time due to their (and her later party's) influence on her.
Holy crap I thought it must've been cancelled or something it's been so long
Nah, I think the reason it went in hiatus was to help prep for the anime that's coming out this month.
My loli elf cant be this philosophical!
