Frieren has connected with me in a way I find struggle to explain. Personally, I have never seen any anime (or material similar of the sort) to be about what happens after the protagonist wins. I always about how they get there. Nobody ever really shows what happens after and that's what I have always wanted to see every time I finish watching something, wishing "Oh, I wish they'd release something that would show what happens after." People would say, then read manga and I promise you, I do. But I don't care, I want to see things animated. And so, Frieren not only has ... given me this satisfaction but has given a story worth knowing. The story uniquely shows a different side of love—a different way to show love. We lose something everyday. May it be loved ones, a pet, or even an object that represents a value close to our hearts. Yes, it hurts when it happens. But I think it's important to focus on what is left behind for us. Nothing is permanent? Indeed so. But the memories, the feelings, the emotional attachment, the bind we had with what is lost is a part of what keeps us alive and feeling. And this show had made me realize this. It makes grief something to live by.

I lost my dog last January. It was sudden, totally unforeseen. And so it hurt like a bitch (not that it would have hurt any less if there was some kind of warning). And there would be times where I'd him, and ing hurts like a bitch too. But then, it'll . Sometimes, for a second, I would here the sound of his claws scraping on the floor because he was such a lazy walker. Or I would see his kennel, or his food bowl, or see his brother laying on his bed. Then again, it'd hurt and some. But that's the way it is. That way, I'll how life was when we had him. And I'd get on with my day. Because that's how it's suppose to be. It hurt when he left but boy does my heart beam every time I him. And those memories, it hurts to miss it, but it's proof of the love I had for him.

All this for an anime? Well, yes. Isn't this what all of this is suppose to be? Nurture our lives and provide us the feeling that we are seen and understand and that we are not alone with whatever we are feeling. My review may seem a whole lot personal and doesn't align when any technicality. But this is what Frieren is for me.
