Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:03

Oh man, it is a chilly day here up the tavern, folks. Let me tell you, I've been looking at the window. I see some snow falling. Not quite sure where we are this time, but I'm sure whoever runs in these doors today is gonna have something interesting to talk about.

SPEAKER_00 0:20

Ah look, let's see. Adam, how did you find me here again?

SPEAKER_01 0:27

No, I I just uh I used my Google Maps and put my uh favorite place so that I could always come back.

SPEAKER_00 0:38

I didn't know Google Maps worked across dimensions.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

You know, I have some mysterious mysterious magical powers that that that trans uh transcends normal mortal logic.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

Of course you do. Of course you do.

SPEAKER_01 1:02

And of course, of course, me being DoorDash uh deliverer, I have access I have access that most people don't have.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Oh really? I didn't know DoorDash gave that kind of exclusivity.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

You'd be surprised on how how low-key powerful um DoorDash riders can be. We can get into access to places that most people can't. Which is a scary thought, just mind you.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Oh boy. Alright, Adam, is it a usual?

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Yeah, I I I think I'm going to take a voodoo grape monster.

SPEAKER_02 1:51

Voodoo Grape Monster. I'll see what I got in the back here.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

In the meantime, as for payment, what conversation piece did you bring today?

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Well, you actually brought this up to me not too long ago as a suggestion, and I took a look at it and I watched three episodes and I I checked, yes, on continuing on Beyond Journeys End Free Ren. I know I splipped the splipped the title on that one, but uh free run beyond journey's end.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

Ooh, that is a good show. How far have you gotten so far?

SPEAKER_01 2:35

I finished the whole entire first season. Took me about a week or two to get through all of it. Uh watching a couple episodes each day. I couldn't just I couldn't I could not uh marathon it.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

I can understand that. It's definitely not it it's bingeable. I think I watched uh most of the first season in a couple days. Um but it's definitely a slower pace anime. It's one that you can just kind of sit down, have a nice hot hot cup of tea with and enjoy yourself.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

Hey, um Danny, what's the uh update on that uh on that monster drink?

SPEAKER_02 3:21

Oh, here you go, buddy.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but that's a cup of coffee for ya darn it.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

It's okay, I got one in my I've I've got one in my bag, don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

So now going into uh Freer in season one now. I'm curious, who is your favorite villain that they fought? Oh because we fought a couple different demons in particular.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

You know what? I think a lot of the villains were really good. Uh some of the overcompetent villains were the greatest ones. Someone's like, I can easily defeat you. Because there's there's no way you can possibly lose to me, and I think it would be uh the demon with the blood. Uh the one that could use his blood as a weapon and use his blood as a drain. That was that guy was overconfident.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

That was in the aura art, if I remember correctly. So, like, because he was the one working in the city trying to be like a politician for the demons, get the city to kind of be okay with demons, and then Aura was gonna come in and overrun the city.

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Yep. He was trying to get favor with the uh with the I forget his name, but the head of the town and tried to drop the barrier so that the demons could overtake the town.

SPEAKER_02 5:07

No, exactly. And he had some cool uh fights uh against Fern and everything, and I liked how he was trying because he recognized Freerin from way back when.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

But he couldn't place her, and that was the fun thing. He didn't place her until he fought her apprentice and started picking it up on things that only Freeran would have taught.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

So, and then carrying on into the Freerin versus Aura fight where Aura's just like you're gonna lose. You've spent all this magic power. I see you doing all these like flashy spells. Like, let's pull out the uh scales and see who's gonna dominate who in this battle. And Freerin's like, oh, yeah. Okay. So I've been suppressing my magic this whole time. What do you mean? I would have seen ripples in your magic if you were suppressing it. Oh, here, let me turn that off.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Whoosh it's funny, the only the only character that actually saw the fluctuation uh uh free ren suppressing and the other elf suppression was the first first class mage. Was the only one who actually saw the uh the the slight fluctuation.

SPEAKER_02 6:32

And it was so minuscule that I think there's another person even though it hasn't been stated. I think Fern sees Freeron's fluctuations.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

No, Fern does see her flu I think floor I think Fern has stated that.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

Cause she she saw Sarya's fluctuation at the very end.

unknown 6:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:53

That was the whole reason Sarya wanted her. Was a mortal or human came in and was like, Oh, your mana's fluctuating.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

But uh, I think my favorite uh demon that they uh fought was the one that actually got me to watch the show. I saw a YouTube clip when the show was still uh newer. And it was during the Zoltroc fight. And to see this enemy, this demon, who was so powerful, he was uh one of the higher ranking ones for the Demon King's army, right? He had a power uh power spell of basically just destruction, it would just shoot a blast of energy out and destroy things. It was called Zoltro. What I loved about it is he was so powerful at the time, 80 years ago, that the hero's party had to seal him. So they were not able to beat him 80 years ago. But when Fern and Freerun go back to the town to deal with the seal, and he starts to fight them and realizes Fern's defensive spell can block Zoltroc. And he thinks about this because one key thing about the demons in Freerun is they don't like they're really good with magic, but um they focus on one spell. They want to learn the inner workings, the outer workings, so it's like he thinks about it and he's like, Oh, so you're using Zoltroc to or you're using the idea of like diffusing Zoltrocks thing. He's like, Very smart, I can get that, but it's gotta use a lot of mana. And even Fern's like, Yep, figured it out. But she taught Fern how to more densely set up the spell, but a more uh quick short burst. Only defend at the last second.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

Right.

SPEAKER_02 8:53

And so we see Zoltrok just blasting Fern, and Fern's blocking everything and preserving her mana. And he's trying to figure out like how this has happened, and then Freerin's like, well, hey, what you have to understand, Zoltroc is in the last 80 years that you've been sealed, humanity is interesting. They took your spell, they learned to use it, they broke it down to its fundamentals, and then they made it into uh defensive magic, and now the what used to be the most powerful attack spell ever is now one of the most basic spells we can cast.

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Yeah, that's right, because I remember the whole thing of oh a lot of uh a lot of the majors or a lot of other characters when they come across free run and fern fighting or come aga come across them or come against them, whatever the case may be, they're like, wait, you're just using this basic spell and you're beating me? How is this possible? This this shouldn't this should not work. Like, but the essentially of one of the fights Bern just simply overwhelmed them with how much she was able to um able to fire off on such a basic spell, and they were not expecting it at all. I think that was one of the cases of um when she went to fight against um the blood demon.

SPEAKER_02 10:30

I think you're right. Well that's the big thing about Fern is she knows her basic magic, and that's what a lot of people will like comment on is like she uses like old basic magic where everyone else is like making these spells, like just cut or doppelgang themselves, but Fern knows the basics. But the thing is is she is such an expert in the basics that she can surpass almost all the other magic knights. One thing that I I'm like they got us on that one. When they were gonna have one of the magic knights fight the fern clone. Oh I was ready to see that, but guess what? They just show us the end as the fern doppelgangers fade in out, and we see that magic knight being like, oh, cool, and all you see is craters all around her. Yeah. And you can only assume what that doppelganger was doing.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Oh yeah, the another part of that was the third exam. Um first of all, whenever they entered into that temple, the whatever it was um that cut that as soon as they entered that temple, it was already creating double gangers of everybody in there. Now, mind you, you have fern and uh the other uh mages, but they also created a double ganger of Freerun and the the test um giver. Alone, just having Fern alone. That's insane. But then you have the um the tactic test examiner there, which her magic is her hair. Which is insane. Is her hair is essentially a living being.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

It reminds me of um oh the old uh cartoon network uh Powerpuff Girls. There was a character called Medusa. I know. Original. Oh, yeah. But she had the same type of hair where she could just control it and have it do all sorts of different things.

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Yeah. I thought you were going to bring up black clover for a minute there.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

Somebody used their hair in black clover.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

I don't think there was I don't think so. But it would be something that you probably would have brought up if there was a character that uses their hair in Black.

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Actually, there is somebody who does use their hair in Black Clover in the manga. Uh in the going along the uh Land of the Rise and Sunarc, I think. Or it was when the Heart Kingdom got attacked. But uh Charmy actually, yeah, no, I think it's I think it's animated now, too. So I think it was when the Heart Kingdom was attacked. Charmie uses the wolf and makes spaghetti out of the witch's hair and eats it.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

Oh okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:37

No, but we're not talking about black clover, right?

SPEAKER_01 13:39

We're not talking about black clover. Uh but it was insane like when they were coming up with the the strategy to defend to defeat free runs double ganger. It's like no matter what they thought, it's like when they when it came down down to it, it was burned was the uh was the way they they were going to win. Because uh essentially free run would distract the free run dup ganger when so that uh burn could attack her using Soultrac. And the fact is like that battle alone between the two uh free runs on my f I don't think I want to be in that room. Like just the sheer just the massive spells that was going on, and essentially and at the very end uh free run's double ganger did that one attack that essentially pushes Fern and breaks her staff against the wall, and at the end of the fight, free run goes like I haven't used that spell in 80 years.

SPEAKER_02 15:03

I still want to know what that was.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

The the fact that the fact that Fern uh drove free run's double ganger to use that particular spell, like that had been some that was an intense fight.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

No, I know, but like I'm I'm not joking. I want to know what happened there. Because like nothing was spoken. She didn't have arm, she didn't have her staff, she just glared, it was just like a force explosion.

SPEAKER_01 15:38

It was almost like a force push.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

Very intense force push.

SPEAKER_02 15:43

Now, I know we've been talking a lot about the battle scenes, and the battle scenes in this show are phenomenal, very well illustrated. But one of the things I actually love about this show is some of the smaller side stories that they do and how they tell them. So following the Freer and Doppel attack that pushed Fern up against a wall, it also shattered her staff.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

Yes, yes, it did.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

And that became a big thing in the coming episodes because now we see Freeran trying to find someone who can repair the staff.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Yes, versus being able to she couldn't just but she could have easily went down the route of like, I'm just gonna buy you a staff, it's gonna be easier. But she chose not to go that route. She chose to actually try to find someone to repair the tap because she knew how much that staff uh meant to firm because it was um given to her by um Hatar?

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Hider. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

Hater, Hyder. Hider, yeah. Pretty sure I got that correct. Hyder, yeah, it was given to it it has sentimental value to uh burn and I get that like you can easily replace something, but uh when something has such uh uh such a sentimental value you can't bring yourself to replace it.

SPEAKER_02 17:24

Mm-hmm. No, exactly. Some of those things are so sentimental, and a big thing that was brought up um was how well Fern maintains her equipment, including everything that's given to her, because she considers stuff given to her from her people very special and sacred to her. And that did include her staff when when Freeron finally went to the uh magic knight uh the mage who was knocked out in the doppel fight. Turns out he runs a magic shop and he sells staffs and he has the ability to repair them.

unknown 18:04

Right.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

And they go back and forth a little bit, but he eventually agrees to repair what he considers an irreparable staff. That by the way, that is how badly it got damaged. It was basically splintered.

SPEAKER_01 18:19

But he spends Oh, it splintered like uh Harry Potter's firebolt?

SPEAKER_02 18:24

Exactly. Uh no, flying Nimbus, not the firebolt, he got the firebolt after.

SPEAKER_01 18:30

Oh, right, the flying nimbus 2000. Harry Potter nerds here. Sorry, I know his his firebolt didn't get destroyed, the firebolt was replaced by uh was a replacement to the uh Nimbus 2000. Okay, yep, you're right, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

But yeah, he's he took the time to repair Fern's staff for free run. Yeah, and we find out a little later too, uh, he was talking to Fern about the staff and explained like he just like you said earlier, he wishes Freerin would have just bought a new staff, it would have saved him a lot of headache. But this staff is so well maintained, and he could tell that through the repair process.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Right, and and to see him repair it was kind of cool to see the the detail that they gave into another thing, like you brought up this about the smaller moments of the show, like and I love this quote from uh Lord of the Rings. It's like I find that it's not the grand things that keep evil evil at bay, it's the little things in life that brings that um that keeps evil at bay. And there's a part in which they go to the village of the older um the older dwarf and the fact that he is long after his wife has passed, and at at some point the dwarf even forgets the her what she looks like or her voice, but he's still protecting that one small village just because it was his wife's village.

SPEAKER_02 20:19

No, I get that.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Another thing I love that with free rends like she could go for these really power collecting these really powerful spells in her journey, but she chooses to look for the oddest spells, the the the in insignificant spell, the your every she chooses to find the spells out that will help you in your everyday life.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

I think that's one of the fun things that Freer and like quirks that freerin has and now Fern to that same degree is they find the oddest of spells, and that's Freerin's whole thing, is she likes to collect odd spells. But did you notice a connection to a lot of spells that we heard that Freerin got? Or that she has one or the other.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

No, please do tell.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

So she has a spell to make uh grapes sour or certain fruits sour. You you find out in later flashbacks, um Aizen likes sour foods.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:41

Her flower pa flower field spell we find out is her master's favorite spell. Not only that, but she correlates that spell to being the race and the demon king dies. Because she cast it for him all as a child. And him remembered that and remembered free run and went back for free run later in life. You're right. You're right. If you go through uh a lot of her different spells or different potions, like a lot of them tend to be like, hey, I knew my party liked this. I'm gonna collect stuff so if other people like this later, we can set it up.

SPEAKER_01 22:27

Right. I I honestly love this spell that burn ass from uh what's her name? Uh Saria Saria? Yeah, Saria.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

It's a hard one for me to pronounce.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Whatever. The other elf lady. Let's just go with that because I don't feel like butchering names at this point. Uh I love the spell that she asked for from her, and she gets mad because they had she had she had she could have picked any given spell. But the one she chose was honestly, I gotta say, is more of a practical use of practical spell, and that's like, oh, you can clean clothing and make it smell good down to the very stitch of the clothing. That one is practical. That is that's gotta be the most practical spell I I have ever heard of.

SPEAKER_02 23:33

Well, the funniest thing about that whole scene is all these other magic knights they that passed the exam, right? Became first rank magic knights. Or magic uh I forget what their term in that world is, but mage. First class mage. First class mages, thank you. So all the ones part of becoming first class mage is Saria has basically knowledge onto all magic. She's supposed to allegedly have every single spell ever made. So when you become a first mage, you're able to choose one spell to learn and to take with you. So you have all these other magic mages or first mages say taking all these cool spells, stuff that they're gonna use for battle or stuff for defense, whatever it's gonna be, right? All normal, all here and there. Then you have Fern, and even Sarya's like, this is the weirdest spell I've ever had to give out. But thinking on it too, they're going on an adventure that's probably gonna take 'em eight to ten years to do.

SPEAKER_03 24:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

They don't have the ability to consistently wash their clothes or anything. So let's get a spell to wash and clean our clothes. Which is practical. Oh, it is so practical.

SPEAKER_01 24:52

I know. It's like it's like um what's the one spell of in DD um precedigitation? You can use precedation to clean your clothes. I mean, come on. Who who wouldn't use precedation to clean your clothes?

SPEAKER_02 25:14

No, exactly. Uh again, it's so many of the smaller things in the uh storytelling that I appreciate so much about free run. Um Right. I know. In particular, too, some of the flashbacks. Just going back to see the party. Because again, a big thing, we don't even discuss this yet. A big thing about this story is it takes place after what you would expect the story to be. The hero's party in the first couple episodes have already defeated the Demon King. They had their 10-year adventure, they had their ups, their downs, they had wins, they had losses. Um but we're picking up 80 years after that story.

unknown 26:04

Right.

SPEAKER_02 26:05

And we're finding out what happens in a world after the great evil is vanquished. What's gonna happen in the power vacuums? Not to mention this is a big one, too, for like anyone who's a DD fan or anyone who struggles with like uh other race longevity. This show really shows the difference between an I uh elf's lifespan and a human's.

SPEAKER_03 26:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

What is 50 years for us is more or less like a month or two for the elves. And they won't even realize in some cases that timed thing. We see Freerin make a uh make plans with her party to go and see the meteor shower 50 years later. When she finally sees Himmel again, he's this little old man.

SPEAKER_03 27:00

Right.

SPEAKER_02 27:01

And then he's gone right after. They see the meteor shower, yeah. No more Himmel. Then it hits her how short human lifespans are, and that's really where she starts to take on this idea like, hey, she wants to learn more about humans, she wants to appreciate what she's got while she has it, and not just blink and they're gone.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Right. Like Yeah, I go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 27:28

Getting the different flashbacks is so nice, and it's sometimes it's a good break from the story. Like if we start getting a little bit too much and we go to see what did Himmel's party do in the situation, or why is it Stark has some of his quirks while he takes after his master Aizen. Yeah. Which fun fact I love Aizen's English uh voice actor, because it's also from uh uh he's also Einz Al Ghoul and Overlord. And he really doesn't change his voice.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

Really?

SPEAKER_02 28:01

Yeah, no, he really doesn't change his voice from Einz to do Aizen, which is even better.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

I really didn't I did I really didn't watch Overlord.

SPEAKER_02 28:12

Ooh, that's a funny one.

SPEAKER_01 28:12

I mean I've seen a few episodes one, but it's like but I I didn't dive into it fully.

SPEAKER_02 28:20

That's a fun one. I'm waiting for them to come out with more seasons of it, but um nah I've I've always enjoyed Overlord. It definitely one of those Easy Kai's where the main character is I'm gonna say more of a villain than any kind of hero.

SPEAKER_01 28:37

Anti-hero.

SPEAKER_02 28:40

More of a villain. The name of the show is Overlord.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

Good point. The villain is the hero.

SPEAKER_02 28:53

Now, one uh one Ark and Freerin that's an interesting one is when we get to the village of the sword and the hero's sword.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 29:08

Because as far as like everyone else has been told and made aware in the story, when the hero's party got there, Hemo pulled the hero's sword and used that to slay the demon king. We get there with our party, because Freerin has an obligation to make, which she is late for, by the way, by quite a few decades.

SPEAKER_01 29:33

Yeah, I think this was the this that was the same arc with the um with the older dwarf, correct?

SPEAKER_02 29:42

I believe so. I know uh we had the older dwarf a little bit before after.

SPEAKER_01 29:49

I think he mentions it uh or something like that. The older or the older dwarf mentions it something about free run being late to it.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

Now we're having issues with monsters in the region. Something's drawn them in, and the village elder sword little girl, the village leader, is like you need to deal with monsters like you promised.

unknown 30:13

So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

And they see a sword in the stone. As it does become revealed, Himmel was unable to draw it.

SPEAKER_03 30:29

Right.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Himmel was unable to draw that sword. And said he used a different sword to kill the demon king.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

He used the he used the replica of the hero's sword to kill the demon king.

SPEAKER_02 30:44

Mm-hmm. So what was interesting though is towards the end of that as like their living cave, it seemed like the uh like Stark was kind of uh more a little bit more fascinated on it. I wonder if we might see Stark get the sword down the road.

SPEAKER_01 31:00

I wonder too, but he his axe is pretty cool though.

SPEAKER_02 31:04

Oh, it is.

SPEAKER_01 31:05

The the fact that he he was able to cle up with his training was able to cleave such a uh gash in that rock. And ultimately that's what uh that little technique they had ultimately uh is what defeated the dragon in my favorite arc is when they brought Stark on as the uh party member, as the third party member.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

No, I I agree with that. That dragon arc was a fun one.

SPEAKER_01 31:45

We also didn't there's also the brief um because I needed I needed a fourth party member for a healer because as great as Freeran is her her ability of healing magic is not great. Or non-existent at all.

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

But they ha they had to bring that on, and I I love the fact that like he they it took them so long to convince him to to join the party. So it took him I don't know how long it took him, but it took him a good long while to have him join their party, even for a brief moment, and this leads into my other favorite thing that was brought up into that thing, and then they finally asked Free Ren on the last episode why she does this certain quirk. The fact that when Free Ren says goodbye to someone, it's never long and drawn out, it's always short and quick, and I love the reasoning of it, and it harkens back to when she was a party member of the heroes party that defeated the demon king with Himmel. It's like Himmel used to always just do these quick goodbyes, and I love the reasoning of well, if we meet that person again, it would be kind of embarrassing if we did this long, drawn out, sorrowful goodbye, and when we see him again, then it's like that's a lock word.

SPEAKER_02 33:33

Yeah. No, it makes sense too, especially with the idea of the uh elf lifespan and how they perceive the passage of time. Cause I mean, even two years, that's probably gotta feel like what a month? The way that Freerin tries to explain it a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

Now there's a lot of fun characters in this show. I know one of the ones that was a little upset we didn't get more time with was the uh priest that uh joined the party for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 34:12

Yeah, that's that's the that's the uh character I was talking about. Yeah, we didn't but I have a feeling that he's gonna come back again.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Oh, I hope he does. I hope he does he does. Because I thought he was good for Stark as well. Kind of help Stark uh learn a few things.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

Navigate for a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

Uh the other character was uh the elf monk. I hope we get to see him come back.

SPEAKER_01 34:40

I do too. I so hope we get to see the elf monk again, yes. Because we because I think one uh I forget the town that they were in, but I think one of it was no no no, it was the story of with the with the priest that joins their party that um something about cleaning a statue that had an image of that particular elf monk as a statue when they were younger. Him and Gorilla Warrior.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:22

Because I love the fact that they the the character called himself Gorilla Warrior just because I want a name that that people will will remember. Let me tell you, that is a name that is definitely remembered.

SPEAKER_02 35:39

No, I can get that. Now, going into a little bit of season two, because I know you said you finished season one. Have you seen any of season two?

SPEAKER_01 35:52

I have not watched any of season two yet. I am sorry.

SPEAKER_02 35:55

Hey, no worries. That goes right into my question for you. What are some things you'd like to see now that season two is air and going into it now that you finish season one?

I highly doubt that they're going to make their destination point at by the end of season two. So I'm just gonna write that one right out of it. Like that would be cool to see, but I with as long as they're saying like, oh, it's gonna take them like ten years to get to this place, just like it took uh the original party, like ten years to get to that place as well. So I don't think that I I don't think that's gonna happen by the end of the second season. Although I I did quite enjoy within a few of the episodes a long time uh passage, a long, I think I'm saying that wrong. Many of the episodes had time passing, a lot of time pass within each episode. Some episodes would have a good month or two or half a year pass in a single episode. So I really hope that they draw draw out the the time on the second season once I don't I I don't think this is going to be an anime that's gonna wrap up in two seasons. I I I hope it's one of these animes that do take a couple seasons to wrap it up because it's just it's very well done. I like um but I think I would love to see um them possibly meeting back up with the uh priest character in and seeing what other characters from Freerun's past pop up uh uh from from their previous 10-year journey. I think that's what I would like to see. I I would like to see I would also like to see the shenanigans that they get into. Because let me tell you, they definitely got in quite quite a few shenanigans within within the first season, most of it was because of free run. Yep. Mostly because of free run, just because as much time and as much of a long life free run has had, there are moments that she acts like a child. Not a child, just act like it because like I love her. I just like the fact that she like it's most um most of the time I think that Fern is the adult in this whole in the party. I think for even though Fern is young is a young person, and certainly a very young person in Free Ren's eye, but I think Fern is the one that is constantly having to drive free run to do stuff. And if it was up to free run, getting to where they need to go would take a thousand years. But they don't have that kind of time. They're like, I know that I know free ren is very um driven to get to the place so she can see uh Himmel and Heiter again, uh even if it's not in the normal like physical form, but to see him in the spiritual form, I know she's looking forward to that, and that's what's driving them to keep moving forward at the pace that they do. But of course, things come up, and there's things that you as surprised you might might things will hang you up. And I think the way they deal with this in this particular show is done extremely well.

SPEAKER_00 40:10

No, I definitely agree with that.

SPEAKER_01 40:13

Hopefully that answered your question.

SPEAKER_02 40:15

No, it definitely did, and sounds like that's our last call ring. So we'll go ahead and close up the conversation with one more question. Now you finished season one, you should know this answer. Pop quiz. Does that mimic? Or is that a chest or a mimic?

SPEAKER_01 40:36

God damn it. This goes back to D D2. Uh I'm gonna say that's a chest.

SPEAKER_00 40:46

That's a chest.

SPEAKER_01 40:47

That's a chest full that's a chest full of gold.

SPEAKER_02 40:51

And you are wrong. That there is a mimic.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

Oh man. Well, all I have to do is just push myself into it. Eventually it's going gag and spit me out.

SPEAKER_02 41:04

Uh good old Freer and logic.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

Well just blast it from the inside.

SPEAKER_02 41:11

This has been such fun.

SPEAKER_01 41:12

And then I'm gonna have to do my and then I'm gonna have to have to redo my messy hair.

SPEAKER_02 41:17

This has been a very fun episode, Adam. Thank you for swinging by to talk about Freer in season one with me. A little later we'll definitely have to touch back on freeer in season two once that's uh finished.

SPEAKER_01 41:32

SPEAKER_02 41:36
