I carry this screencap specifically for that reason:
Why does her sigil say Pizza over and over?
I think that’s the artist’s username
Yeah you’re right, I completely missed that even though it’s in the center of the screen
she’s gonna turn them into pizza and eat them
I was gonna ask if her magic weapon there is Giza’s Wheel from Elden Ring and just a giant pizza cutter.
I’m looking for some new content for my 11 year old daughter, this looks cool in a way, what is it and is it good for her age? She loves stuff like Avatar etc
The mage woman is Frieren from “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” a very good manga with an even better anime adaptation.
This comic has nothing to do with the story however as Frierens story is pure fantasy with no connection to our reality (so no KKK).
Demon Context (Minor Spoiler)
The “bad guys” in the story are also not in any way comparable to nazis, because the demons in the story are not like “evil humans” but just absolute evil incarnate that has no other purpose to their existence except being evil and killing humans. So the conflict between humans and demons isnt controversial or complex and lacks any sort of deeper meaning. Not that this would make them boring, they are still scary and provide great entertainment value.
The first and second season are the two highest rated anime of all time overtaking the previous top which was undefeated for 14 years, so i think its worth giving it a shot. There is blood and violence of course, but its kept reasonable in my opinion, but its enough to make it rated 13+. The visuals, animation and music are absolutely amazing. The first episode is really tear jerking. There is very little “horny” stuff like you often get with manga/anime which is a plus imo, but there is a good amount of humor.
Is this really for children, though? Yes there’s no “blocker” like too much violence or horniness, but it might be… boring.
I know that enjoying it as a grownup had a lot to do with realizing subtle things about that dealing with loss thing. If you’re an 11 year old and might miss things like the ring/marriage thing, it would essentially be a whole lot of filler around some rather sparse jokes and fight scenes (which I think are only the “side dish” in this anime).
And even if they DO get it, I don’t know how much 11 year olds ENJOY being sad.
I would say it depends heavily on the individual child. 11 is more than old enough to understand death and grief. But i also think it would be very entertaining if you dont get those things.
Thank you for the info, appreciated
It’s definitely a more contemplative show about loss, growth, and appreciation. Action is pretty spaced out and generally brief. I’d argue it’s a masterclass in letting silence speak and possibly a strong intro to subtext. It’s full of the main character either not speaking or making cryptic or ambiguous statements followed by explanatory flashbacks. Overall, I would describe it as a pretty wholesome show with very little of the typical problematic anime content. Comparing it to AtLA is tough because they’re simply different kinds of stories, but it can feel kind of like the tea shop episode.
This might catch flak, but i recommend the english dub for those who don’t know japanese. The voice actors SELL IT and, not being a japanese speaker, i can’t confirm whether the tone and characterizations are conveyed the same.
Thank you very much for the info
Happy to help! I can’t begin to guess what might be best for your family, but it might be worth watching a couple episodes yourself and seeing if it’s a fit. A couple other good animated shows might be The Owl House and the latest She-Ra. Both are very lgbtq+ friendly and the later seasons of She-Ra have a more complex take on the Zuko redemption arc. Although, She-Ra has been removed from netflix so you might have to “find” it. And I recommend anyone and everyone watch Adventure Time
Great recommendations thank you! We did watch She-ra and were surprised about how good it was and you’re exactly right about it, have why we’re looking for other quality stories. Will check out the ones you mentioned, many thanks!
It’s fanart/a fancomic for Frieren, a popular anime. I know very little about it, including age-appropriateness.
Ok noted thank you
