    I rewatch lots of anime, but for some reason, I almost exclusively rewatch sentimental favorites and guilty pleasures. If something is undeniably outstanding, like Frieren, I have some sort of aversion to rewatching it. I’m not sure why.

    Even this experience is universal, huh? In my case, I think, it’s because I’m subconsciously afraid of not liking it as much so it stops feeling special. I dread the feeling of disappointment.

    I spent so much time the first time on edge, afraid that they were going to kill off characters I liked, and this time I knew that everyone who mattered to me was going to survive.

    Frieren has an insanely great cast. Almost everyone is likeable. Who are your favourites?

      Fern is my favorite, no contest, but I wasn’t worried about her during the first class mage tests. The ones I was most worried about then were Kanne and Lawine, and sort of surprising myself, Übel.

      Though I didn’t notice them as much the first time through, I grew to really like Laufen and Denken this time through - she’s the granddaughter he never had, and it’s really pretty sweet.
