For the first time ever the hype didn’t disappoint. Honestly a breath of fresh air for anime, my only complaint is I wish it was longer.

I liked it but have some concerns about the depiction of demons, that being that despite being able to talk, they can’t be reasoned with and are just trying to trick you so they can kill you.

Also, is it my imagination or is there something about the animation that feels reminiscent of 80’s/90’s anime? Something about the shading, perhaps the environments, brings back the vibes of artwork from old anime. Also the dwarf’s appearance, I could almost swear I’ve seen old anime with dwarf characters who looked like that.

concerns about the depiction of demons

I choose to think of it as commentary on Yakub’s creatures

In all honesty I didn’t finish watching the season but even the first episode that the demon envoys show up in irked me, and I can’t really put my finger on it. I noticed that it also marked a departure from the usual tone of the show.

Frieren abruptly revealing that she has an exterminationist ideology towards a race of intelligent life is pretty jarring, certainly.
