Episode 28:
No more weekly dose of too-good-to-be-true elf and human mages. No more bittersweetness, which resonates with one's maturing (or just getting older). At least, not for a while. The last frame did suggest potential 2nd season, after all.
Was this the best show ever? I do not know. Maybe not. But it was probably the only anime that was not "dark gritty action" kind that was I looking forward every time, regardless of my mood. There've been other "chill" anime in the past 2 (or was it 3?) seasons, that I watched, but sometimes I did not feel the mood for them, like "nah, it will be too sweet". Frieren, though, hit the spot every time.
It's mostly just talking about and doing small things, that turn out to be important, just like in life. You know how some useless thing will make your house feel like home? Even the fights were mostly about smaller things, that were hidden beneath even large attacks. There was weight to every action. Everything felt meaningful in one way or another. Guess there was a reason I've changed my phone wallpaper after so many years.
I think my only gripe with the show would be, that humans seem to always be good, even when it's initially suggested, they are not, and demons are always bad. I would prefer a bit more duality.
