Never thought I’d see the day when a post heroic journey felt as tense as a boss fight flashback. The way Frieren’s story just slows everything down, focusing on the space between adventures, almost makes battles look like afterthoughts. That one scene with Stark trying to cook totally killed the tension, but in the funniest way possible, like the universe reminding them not everything is deep and tragic. If this vibe catches on, fantasy anime might start exploring quieter stories, pushing characters to reflect more. Is Frieren’s slow pace a hint about hidden world lore? I can’t wait to see where it leads—feels like watching someone plant a magic seed and just waiting to see what sort of tree comes up. What do you all think—is this a new trend or just a one time thing?
