Anxiety is starting to take hold of me.

If brain-in-a-jar theory is correct, I’m currently being absolutely DRENCHED in some sort of anxiety inducing chemical; my hands are clammy, sweaty, my knees are weak, and I can smell my mom cooking some spaghetti so I’m pretty sure we all know what’s about to happen…

I was waiting for Sousou no Frieren to finish airing to gauge people’s reactions to the ending before I decide whether or not to watch it, but I caved.

Everyone and their momma is talking about this show, FOMO got me

But now what I feared most is coming true, and I can’t help but tremble at the prospect of Frieren ending on a cliffhanger. There’s 4 episodes left in this season. If Madhouse hits me over the head with a cliffhanger and I have to wait a year for season 2 they might as well cast Zoltraak directly into my heart.

Has anyone read the manga? Am I going to suffer terribly for my rash decision?

Also, this show is really good right?! Love it very much so far, no wonder it’s topping MAL, I wonder if we really do have an all-timer on our hands.

    I’ve really enjoyed it up until this last arc. I think it kind of derailed the pacing too much, especially since you know she’s going to Mary Sue the end of it somehow.

      IDK, I’m really enjoying the dungeon arc but you’re not alone in what you’re saying! I think Frieren being a Mary Sue affords a lot of freedom for the narrative to wander, since you know she always wins in the end. It’s about appreciating the emotional development of the other characters and finding out about her past thru the flashbacks. I mean, that’s what she’s doing really hahaha
