| Oh boy this one- well it should be way more controversial than it is. I reviewed Frieren a while ago Frieren Review That tells you everything about what I thought about the show- it's not very good. The mystery about why so many people seem to think it's so amazing is.... I apologize up front for my cynicism... I have noticed a lot of popular trends (not just anime) come from Reddit (or TikTok dear lord) and a LOT of people are just following trends. Frieren blew up on Reddit (among other places) and so millions wanted to be part of the hype and voted it up wherever they could. Notice I didn't say they watched it. I firmly believe the majority a very large number of them never watched any of it. As for the ones who left all those comments of blind praise on MAL- either they hardly ever watched any anime, and so were impressed by seeing anything; or they were just trying to fit in with the crowd. Most people are like this- they aren't going to disagree with half the world on something like entertainment. As for the count of 10s it has- that's 100% fake. There are so many phony accounts made to just score it another 10, because there was an online push (Reddit again) to knock FMAB off the #1 spot. It being #15 in popularity and not even close to #1 should tell you something- but I'm certain if the mods wipe out enough fake accounts, Frieren's score and ranking will drop faster than an elevator with the cable cut. Zoomers are way too impatient with too short attention spans to have watched something as long, as boring, and slow and tedious as Frieren and actually stayed awake- or enjoyed it. I don't believe it for a split second, and never will. |
