Been dancing on the edge of the frieren train for a while now as the plot has ground to a halt (and it was already a snail-paced show by design). I find myself caring less and less about the characters, oddly enough, just like how Frieren treats them... colder and more distant. The show peaked with the proposal of Himmel to frieren in episode 14, but even then, frieren's stone-faced knife ear attitude leaves me disinterested more and more. I care more about Himmel than her, because she did him so dirty - and not in a good way.

I know that the "point" is her learning about emotions and to care more about people etc; but that doesn't change the fact that as an audience member, you're watching a stone-faced bore for months on end, and much like the human characters in the show - I feel like my life is being wasted for little payoff. Nice but not mind-blowing visuals and a soundtrack that seems intent on ripping off Howard Shore can only go so far.
Frieren hasn't even told a demon to kill themselves in months... the show had better pick up, quick. Otherwise I'm just going to go watch Lord of the Rings again.
