This. Should have made Frieren go back to her sandal outfit for the whole season

>>287516262
Boring ass monster of the week filler shit.

>>287516262
Really unremarkable despite me being a huge frierenfag, and lack of interesting characters. Still a solid 7/10.

>>287516262
Filler

>>287516262
Cute elf.

>>287516262
Was good

I liked it, but I think S3 will be better.

>>287516262
titled too much towards shonen battles and not enough towards SoL, I liked S1 better

At least Denken will be in the next one.

>>287516262
Too short.

>>287516325
>her sandal outfit
Never wore such thing.

>>287516262
It was Revoling

>>287516262
It’s a good transitional season for greater arcs.

I think it was proportionally more SoL than S1. It's just that S1 SoL was more memorable, there's really no equivalent to the ring scene, or the ball, or flower searching or Grandpa Voll. You will hate S3 though.
>>287516262
It was okay, but while making it a single cour might make sense long term considering the manga is in a hiatus hell, so the can't burn through the material exactly, it really hurst the season itself. There were some good stories in there, but no great ones. Though one thing that irked me was the silhouette autism. The manga doesn't give a shit and will just show you character when it naturally makes sense even if they're "hype", but the anime will blacken everyone out to add artificial mystery.

I lost my place in the fight with Jimmy Four-Swords I wasn't invested in at all and I ended up dropping the whole thing
They stopped doing the fun family guy skits and acted like they earned a namek, and they couldn't even deign to make James sexy for us like Aura and Lugner

>10 episodes in
>Denken hype for 2nd half of the season
>Actually that was the last episode
FUCK why is this season so short compared to S1?

>>287520711
A popular theory is that it's because of the manga being in a hiatus hell. If they animated the Denken arc right now, they would have 43 chapters left, but 22 of that is an unfinished arc in the middle of a battle. So really they would have 21 chapters, so they could reasonably plan for a one-cour season in 2028... and then who knows what, we don't know if the current arc will even finish by then. Right now they can pace themselves better with Denken arc being late 2027, these 21 chapters fitting nicely for a cour somewhere in 2029, an by then there's a better chance things have moved.

>>287519194
Thanks.

>>287520711
Funding, probably, coupled with manga issues. Probably going to have Hellsing/Full Metal Alchemist disease pretty quick.

>>287521205
Too bad the ost isn’t as good as Hellsing’s.

>>287521054
they can just make OVAs.

I don't know why shounen has to do this "we don't have time / money / material / just want to hold back the good stuff to do the big arc you've heard of, but get hype for next season when we'll do the big arc you've heard of!" thing. Less this but what if I haven't heard of it? All you're doing is wasting my time. If you can't put together a cohesive satisfying story right now, why do anything at all? If you're contractually obligated to put something out this season, then make it clearer that I don't have to take it seriously. Why not something that's just the SoL antics people like? The LycoReco shorts last year were great

>>287516262
i dropped it, and i read all the available chapters before the s1 of the anime was even announced to be made; it just isn't that entertaining.

>>287516973
How is this opinion even valid? Most of the season was SOL.

>>287522247
sword boy arc was enough to make you forget why you ever liked Frieren let alone what happened in the first half of the season

>>287516262
I liked how comfy and SoL it was, and how much it played into reclaiming the white man's ancestral home from the violent demon invaders

>>287518571
Mage exam started around about the last third of S1, with stage 1 and 2 being the out and out battle portions, most of this season was taken up by the revolte battle
I think a better way to frame my argument is that I preffered pre exam to post since if we go strictly by season proportionality is unfair (28 eps vs 10)
>>287522247
revolte dragged, I was rolling my eyes at the asspull level during it, sure prev battles also had some pulls but not quite as much

Not to hate on it or anything but it felt irrelevant? Like you could skip it and no esencial information would be lost.

letdown. not bad, but a letdown. i felt like stark recovered from his fight against 4 arm snake man too easily and there was never any mention of being left to fight him with chuuni angelwing guy while frieren fern and methode dicked around fighting 2 warmup trash mobs. Personally i'd be fucking pissed that they waltzed back over without so much as a hey sorry for leaving you to it.

Give it to me staright mangafags. Will season 3 make up for how boring this season was? Will the hiatus ever finish?

>>287522998
>frieren fern and methode dicked around fighting 2 warmup trash mobs
That was weird, I though that Frieren went away to let those two to deal with the flash mob and help Stark and whatshisname against snake guy, but no, she just stand there dicking around while those two back in the town were getting killed.

>>287516262
For some reason I thought it was going to go all the way to the golden city arc.
This season was basically a filler season until then honestly.

>>287523020
Do you like Demon Slayer? Next arc is literally just Demon Slayer.

>>287522699
>Mage exam started around about the last third of S1, with stage 1 and 2 being the out and out battle portions, most of this season was taken up by the revolte battle
Revolte was literally 3/10 episodes of which 1 barely had any fighting. And you're forgetting the other fightfag arc that was Aura which was actually longer than Revolte and had more fighting.

Season 3 is the best arc, Sousou no Denken rules. Though be warned it's literally just one serious arc so there's very little in terms of SoL.

>>287523421
It's irritating how much this loser gets glazed when we've already seen Frieren beat his ass effortlessly. Before any idiots try and gas him up more by saying how string Frieren is, she's almost died to the most random shit this season like fucking octopus and dogs and that one old golem boomer rekt her too. So stop hyping up this retarded jobber!

>>287524901
Denken just wanted his childhood idol to step on his ass. Little boys like you won't understand.

>>287524901
power levels aren't an actual thing like that, anon. Frieren might have more mana and experience but she's weirder and less stable and more prone to making mistakes, while Denken is more steadfast and serious, not to mention that he's a man and Frieren is a sexy mature lady. Not to be sexist, but fighting a defensive battle to protect a singular, known, living asset is just a thing that women are more apt to win at, as opposed to trying to defeat magic daddy.

>>287524901
>hating on "I cast fist"
I like broken characters, I like older people having regrets and trying to redeem themselves. Lernen is similar and still a bit unused but I expect him to have a glorious moment too.

>>287524901
>retards can only think in They Won/Lost power level shit
Denken is just cool, i don't care if he's weaker or stronger than anyone else.

>>287516262
7/10 same as S1. Still an unremarkable story being carried by the studio.

>>287525304

That was an overhyped nothingburger too! Imagine hyping up shit that was ENTIRELY OFFSCREENED! They didn't even show the goddamn fight!

it was the sentiment and the statement that carried weight; if you just want to watch gay dudes fighting then go pick up Wind Breaker

>>287525369
Ubel in anime in 2031 at the earliest.

>>287525443

The series itself did not overhyped it. You say yourself, they even off screened it. The spectator overhyped it precisely because it was good.
You got to up your trolling.

No. He's a pathetic overhyped jobber.

>>287527138
why are you necrobumping this weird argument?

>>287516262
Would've been AOTY (and might still be, this year sucks) if they actually adapted the next big arc instead of cutting it to 1/3rd the length of the first season. Ridiculous. Still, I enjoyed it a lot. Thought it was just as good as the first season, and definitely better for Stark. But not enough happened to move things forward like the first season did.
