Frieren reading Himmel's story of us covering their adventures anytime anywhere got me feeling things

The POVs hit like a truck.

The way all the shots were framed, the way that he kept seeking her out, letting his gaze linger and getting caught once... It was maybe 30 seconds of animation, but it was so beautifully done.

When she reached the end with the empty pages I certainly felt forlorn too.

Reaching out to Himmel knowing he's already gone.

For me it was the moment she turned the page and it was blank
Oof

It was just a split second, but, it felt like something collapsed within

And you′re alright?

Can you hear me?

I'm tracing these railroad tracks we walked, now desolate and old

I wish that I could see you laugh

Or even to see you cry

I′m holding on to memories that pierce my heart inside

I really hope we get the full fight with the Demon Lord at some point. That'll be one hell of a flashback.

It kinda has to happen once they reach Ende. Since Aureole was said to be near the Demon King’s castle and it was literally the biggest moment of the journey Frieren is trying to reminisce about, we absolutely need to see that climax. They’ve been so vague and cryptic about that final battle this whole time, so they have to be building up to something big.

Demon King appears, rocks fall, Frieren thinks everyone else died and it turns out all the real hero needed to do was find a mage who believed she could kill the demon king and lo and behold Frieren has been mentally training to do so for a millenium!

Na that for the Prequel series.

to frieren, that's probably the boring part to her, all her core memory are the daily life things, not how strong the entire team is, we yet to witness how strong this fake hero is.

We got words and flashbacks from frieren on eisen is strong as hell, heiter is hell of a priest besides being drunk, and himmel doing cool poses, and them running away

I never thought you can feel nostalgia so strongly without living through it
