"Frieran: Beyond Journey's End" might not have the alliterative charm of "Frieran At The Funeral", but it's honestly a more suitable title given the actual plot of the manga.

Francis at the Futile is a much better title then Fanny Alter Journeyman.

I mean, directly yes, but "funeral" in the title sets a mood of meditation on impermanence, while Beyond Journey's End makes me think more of 90s direct to video sequels. I mean, not that it's a bad title choice, but having the specter of death over the whole series right from the title does help the mood.

Agreed; "Funeral" is a great title for a character like Frieren who can't help but dwell on the past while trying to move on and live in the moment. But it could be worse. I'm just glad it's been officially picked up.

I think "dwell" oversells what happens, and Frieren never comes off as someone held back by or bound to her past so much as reflecting on her past and how the present contrasts it.

Frieren at the Funeral is a better title tonally considering the point of it is her journey after attending a literal funeral for a old campanion- and that as she recounts each chapter of her new journey it is framed in the number of years since that funeral.

I got to dive back into this manga after not reading it for awhile, and it was a real treat! I'm looking forward to seeing the full-time party get established, and I'm glad that they still have a looong way to go to the obvious ending point of the manga. Even once they get there and resolve whatever clearly messed-up situation may lie there, I see plenty of potential in continuing Frieran's story another 100 years or so past where the manga is now. It'd be pretty compelling to see her take on a new adventure with new pals, after we have seen her lose the people that we've also had a long time to really get to know and like. I mean, imagine how much cooler this already cool story would've been if it'd been preceded by us seeing 100+ chapters of Frieran's adventure with the hero. I'm not expecting the manga to go on and do multiple sets of adventures, but it'd be neat to see it. I'm positive that we'll at least get an epilogue checking in on her after a long timeskip, or the sad ending where she saves the world but dies in the process.

I don't think it would be better, honestly. The flashback scenes aren't badly done, but it's pretty baseline stuff. A hundred chapters of standard adventure would make the current arc feel like an artificial continuation. Starting with Frieran having left it behind gives a much better starting point and lets the more conventional adventure feel more interesting since we only see little bits of it.

Much of who she is as a character is informed through the lives, and especially deaths, of others. She didnt reflect on how much the journey meant to her until she attended Himmel's funeral, And she will be there for countless other funerals if she keeps on living. She definitely dwells upon it, and is the reason why she takes on Fern and Stark as companions. Considering how often the manga reflects upon death its a fitting name, but I agree it could be a bit more elegant. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Feb 22, 2021 |

I can't imagine having a spell that's range is shorter than the caster's arm is entirely practical. But I'm excited to see how the Team Mimic Bait can pull it off.

I like how the first chapter didn’t call attention to how strong the hero’s party was, because it wasn’t important to the story, and it was only a decent way into the manga that we see just how badly they could wreck someone’s day.

I thought the answer was usually "Fortnite is ripping off something they found without permission, and ending up in legal hot water the game's producers are too rich to care about" at least half the time? Which, yup, looking up this dance is kind of what's happening here, since while the original was submitted for a contest, it wasn't even particularly close to winning but Fortnite used anyway and the kids mother is sueing Epic for using.

I stand corrected then. The dance is called 'The Random' and unfortunately at least 3 of the dance related lawsuits including this one were dropped months after they were filed.

Can't muster up enough enthusiasm for these side characters that will most likely only show how overpowered our protagonists are. Pacing feels very off for this half-hearted pseudo tournament arc. Can't wait until it ends, let's hurry up and get the philosophising about this mage exam over with.

She's trained in the old school, when magic had to be all about getting the job done. Means she fights like she belongs in an old folks home... but it's also the style that lets people survive long enough to get to that old folks home.

Pacing feels very off for this half-hearted pseudo tournament arc. Can't wait until it ends, let's hurry up and get the philosophising about this mage exam over with. I don't really mind the core idea of the arc; what I find slightly off-putting, and I don't believe it was so apparent in previous chapters is that every one of the new characters appears to have a really specific style of magic and only one or two spells they use. It reminds me a lot of Naruto, and it's not really the kind of thing I was expecting, or frankly, want, out of this. I don't mind there being so much variety that someone would specialize in one area, or be stronger in one thing than another; that's pretty normal, it's that they all seem to have just one style of magic they can express in a handful of ways, and they need to work their opponent in to a really specific situation to defeat them using those limited number of tricks. It's very shonenesque. It's apparent now in how Frieren's compatriots had really specific tricks, but I thought it was just their limitations rather than a general thing at the time.
