The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

Yeah, I would say...

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

On the human scale.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

I think for elves, elves, because they live so long, have a different relationship with time and emotion.

And I think part of the sadness of the series is realizing that Firin, she did not take her original party for granted at all.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

But maybe she was not as present because it did not dawn on her how important these people would be to her by the end of the journey.

Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

I am.

Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

I am not.

I will admit, Varian has made me cry.

And I think you hit the nail on the head.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

I think a lot of shows about grief are so consumed with the moment that

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

During death, maybe the pain before and then right after.

And Fearing does a good job where it was a show that when I watched it, I was like, oh, this is a show about grief.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

But to your point,

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

it's illustrating the beauty of the journey.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

And I think that is like as a theme, as something as using what we know fantasy storytelling to be and like what we know about elves and how long they live, using that as a way to instruct people and show them like life is beautiful.

And the powerful thing about grief is like, it just shows you how potent the love is.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

And there's a love, there's multiple love stories at the core of this.

Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

And yeah,

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

Honestly, my favorite character...

The Ringer-Verse

is Fern.
