    Could Sousou no Frieren’s Immortal Perspective Change How We View Grief in Anime

    Its wild how a single sunrise can feel more intense than a thousand battles when viewed through Frieren’s eyes. The way she processes grief, watching everyone around her age or pass on, really sets her apart from typical anime protagonists—almost like it flipped the usual shonen trope on its head. Meanwhile, it’s hilarious how Stark keeps getting nervous about basic stuff while Frieren’s quietly dealing with existential dread in the background. If this keeps up, I wonder if anime will start handling loss and time in deeper, more personal ways. Maybe Frieren’s journey is secretly rewriting what fantasy stories can mean to us. Can’t wait to see what emotional landmines come next—feels like carrying a full bag of enchanted snacks without knowing which one will explode. What stood out most to you all?
