anime

Lawine and kanne

Yeah, they are less interesting

Ubel (green haired schitzo) is great though

Yeah I like her

I like that her power is just "I am too skitzo to believe in defence magic, I can cut that"

and she does

lol

it fits with the whole theme of new magic in all its forms, often falling to the most trivial fundamental magic

I also like that they don't take grievous injuries super seriously, it makes the fights cool when characters can get impaled

since >magic healing lmao

i think the injuries caused by sense's replica not being lethal can be explained by info given by the show other than just healing magic, but yeah

I meant more, that they don't freak out over having holes poked in them

since all the mages know, they can just heal it

oh, yeah

I like that we literally never saw complicated combat magic because frieren does not believe in using non basic magic for combat

then this arc we just only see it

lol

i think thats because she doesnt think anyone in current era is worth using more complex magic against

cuz she uses the good stuff on her own clone the entire fight

I think its less of that, and more so that with exception of a few special cases, basic combat and defence magic at a high level is better than complicated magic at a moderate level

I think it comes down to how you read the themes of the show

that golem for example, was a spell she learned back with Himmel in an E3 flashback

why she doesn't bust it out all the time, I don't think you'll get a definite answer for

but it feels appropriate for her character

A lot of her arc is "subverting what most mages do" such as concealing her mana

so her not using flashy spells fits with that

Considering this arc taught us basically every mage only uses flashy personalized spells

to the point where they comment on Fern fighting like an old person

"I feel like I'm fighting my grandmother"

is a such a good line

yeah

i wonder how the last 2 episodes will go

i got te feeling there's a 3rd test

They could do test 3

but it cant be a long test

cuz i imagine they'd want to wrap it up

I feel like finishing the mage test arc is a good endpoint

Frieren 100% will get more seasons

I'll be something quick with Serie

imo

yeah thats likely

It's sold absurdly well

so yeah, more seasons

only a question of when they began pre-produciton on more

you'd assume after the first few episodes, cour 3/4 were greenlit

After the 4 episode theatrical drop

so if the studio has free slots, it could be as early as mid/late 2025

they prob had enough info

idk what else madhouse has in the works

I've not read the source yet

but they've adapted 40% of what's out so far

so you're saying s2 is possible without waiting years for source material?

seems like it

No made in abyss S3 for frieren

2040 will be dope

pace of new chapters is 2-3/month

they should take some seasons off though

it won't be sooner than late 2025

i remember them doing overlord 2 and 3 back to back and the quality dropped because of it

oh overlord

studios book seasons in advance

thats what madhouse has

yeah

they are working on the overlord movie

if it's a good team you can keep together, not taking long breaks is better

MT is dealing with that ok

but getting directors back is hard even for them

MT's break was dropping a great anime in between for no reason

Onimai outsold MT btw

ik spooky but a small break is good sometimes

lmao

well, that's without quantifying other media

the MT novels ending, + the interlude new volumes

likely pushed it back up in terms of overall economic benefit

Next season is going to crazy

I am so excited for half of the sequels on my PTW

My #1 wish for Freiren

is for them to NOT make a movie

Yeah

why not
