Anime/Manga - Discuss Japanese cartoons and comics here; NO CULTURE WAR DOOMPOSTING!
I've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, and I ended up missing that Hunter x Hunter is back.
I just read the first chapter of this new batch and I'm so happy. Peak wall of text is back.
The first episode of the circus anime is a 9/10. Good plot hook and funny without being too saccharine/dark. Would have watched the second episode if the torrent hosting site didn't fuck up and put a different show as the file.
But the first episode of the Nanoha show is dogshit, 40 minutes for a basic bitch backstory that doesn't even seem to affect the main heroine in any way. She is the exact same in the beginning and the end despite the trauma, and there isn't even a plot hook to save her sister or survivor's guilt.
Ok Cat and Dragon is cute. The second episode has us follow Mother Cat where she was summoned by a kid and immediately began no-nonsense mothering the kid
She can obviously understand human sexuality, since she tried to give Fern the potion that removes clothes so Fern can give Stark a "Gift" for his birthday. But that's a version of Frieren who saw one of her best friends die and has made an effort to learn more about humans overall.
You can also make the argument that Frieren didn't fully understand what she was actually implying and was just parroting what Flame told her ages ago. Frieren has genuine issues with emotional expression and understanding, all the elves that we see in the series seem to.
Someone in a discord I'm in said it best, basically saying that since she's an elf she kind of views a lot of things humans find embarrassing with a bit of detachment or in a "that's dumb" kind of way. Kind of like how a parent would see a kid do something and think "aw isn't that silly or cute."
I think it just comes from living so long. An elf doesn't need to fight things or resist things, all an elf really needs to do is endure something. Give it a century or two, they'll go away without you needing to do much. Sort of like a centuries old "nothing ever happens" chud who's so disaffected by the world that they never really do much of anything about much of anything because they're confident in their ability to still be around when all's said and done.

Waaah my unrequited love died I didn’t understand human emo-waaah my oneitus human gf is a chimera because I- shut the fuck up retards 드라곤 스라뿌!!!! (Authors note: this is a bog standard light cantrip)
Can't really compare them, they are not even the same race or dynamic. Frieren is the mentor elf woman child, and nearly omnipotent with regrets about her past. while Marcille is the straight girl, is incredibly under leveled and has fears about her future.
If anything it's surprising how opposite they are in every way.
Only time I want this to be the case is Highschool of the Dead. We aren't getting the final episode, not that it matters because it supposedly resolved nothing, and will never be continued as the author died.
Finished Reincarnation Coliseum vol 1.
Basic plot. Guy gets isekaied and because he has the weakest skill (skill copy) he gets thrown in the slave coliseum. However, he's actually The Spiffing Brit and exploits the mechanics to win.
It wasn't what I expected. But I liked it. I can go into details if people want, but my main concern going forward is that the book is clearly intended to be 5 volumes but supposedly it's at volume 7 and still going?
Actually good anime this season, thanks god:
Snake Auntie - Overall strong first episode with Snek being really chill. Question is if the comedy will improve or just repeat the same jokes.
Himawari Circus - Like I said before, it's a very nice premise of a talented girl that got traumatised by her gymnast dad gets Shanghaied into working in a circus. I'm a sucker for stories about a failing business getting better so I hope it keeps up with the jokes and cast.
Let’s Go Kaiki-gumi - Hilarious first episode about a guy who gets creeped by anything supernatural, and a creepy girl that sucks at frightening people. Good chemistry and hilarious moments.
Chain Smoking Cat - Gross out humour but still funny as shit. It's basically a horror cow that should look way worse than she does.
Tenmaku no Jaadugar - The Islam backdrop was unappealing to me, but thankfully the second episode creates a more interesting plot hook than what looked like Islamist slice of life.
Elves in anime are usually the same archetypes. Both characters take it to very different places than usual without feeling overly forced, and a different look at immortal life (with Marcille being the more interesting one because an Elf outliving her lover is as old as... well the modern concept of elves).
I'm pretty sure Frieren acts like nothing happened because she's generally nonchalant about things at best and socially an old lady at best. A lot of her sensibilities are just different compared to a human specifically because she lives so long, which is one of the main plot points for her.

Frieren during her journey was a shut in elf that only started interacting with people outside of business transactions or necessity because she was recruited to fight the demon king. After her master died she literally wanders around and does her own thing for hundreds of years, the 10 years she spends with her party were probably the most social interaction she's had again, since her master died.
So it makes sense that she doesn't really have a problem with it. Also Frierens outfit is closer to a robe or a dress than a skirt.
yeah that's essentially Frieren's entire character. she's so old that everything in her life is essentially a distant memory or a blur... EXCEPT for the 10 years she spent with Himmel (and the bit where she had a human master teaching her magic), hence why there's so little flashbacks about other moments of her life. she could be twice or thrice as old as she really is, and we'd have no idea.

We know she's over a thousand years old, from her own statement when fighting Aura. It's funny too because the other two elves we meet in the story are both substantially older than Frieren and treat her like a kid.
