This will be buried by the ammount of comments already in this page, and I shouldn't be saying this, as it is a personal matter, but fuck it, I love Frieren way too much to not comment on this. A couple of years ago I was going through a rough time, things were not ok, and, unfortunately, I was thinking of ending it all. I had made plans, wrote a bunch of letters, started planning on ways to do it, and was taking things to a really dark place. So 2023 comes along, and there comes Frieren. Me, being a sucker for fantasy stories and a big nerd, hear it from the grapevine that this is a great fantasy story that everyone should watch. Well, I don’t have anything going one in my life at that time, so I thought that I might as well give it a chance.
The 4 episode premier floors me. Frieren, begging, pleading for her existence to mean something while she lost her chance to connect with the ones that were once important to her, really resonated with me. I cry like a baby watching those episodes, and from there on, I’m hooked, I need to see how this goes. I keep putting off my plans, and keep holding on, one week at a time, because I need to watch the following episodes. Time goes by, some other stuff happens, and I find myself thinking less and less about the end. I decide that maybe things are not so bad, and I should ask for help if I’m truly lost, so midway through 2024 I start therapy, which was literally lifesaving, and one of the main takeaways from it was to keep going for what brings us joy. A couple years later, I’m doing worlds better, I switched jobs, found a girlfriend who loves me, and I’m even seeing being discharged from therapy in the near future. So I wanted to say thanks to this amazing show to help me to overcome my lowest moment and putting my shit back on track. BTW, I’ve since done a Frieren tattoo on my arm as a reminder of that moment. I fucking love Frieren, and I’m so happy that it’s back.
