Yes, parents can watch anime, too.
Summary:
- Frieren is a great choice of anime to watch with your parents.
- Its visual beauty is unmatched.
- There aren’t any inappropriate moments.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) has become this popular for a reason. And the reason is actually very simple: it has exceptional quality and a fascinating world.
However, this is not true for Frieren only, there are a lot of really well-made anime with engaging stories and great worldbuilding. So why is it really that good for watching with your parents? Especially if it’s one of the first anime you’d like to show them.
Frieren Is Stunning
The thing that bothers a lot of anime newbies and parents in particular is the visuals. Parents tend to be more conservative than their kids (not all of them, of course), and they’re used to live action or old Disney cartoons, so the 2D style of animation might put them off at first.
That’s why it’s so important to start with a really visually pleasing anime, and Frieren is exactly like that. There’s not a single frame in the anime that you will find ugly or unsatisfying to look at.
Character designs are on another level, the colors are so bright and vivid that you feel like you’re watching a fairy tale. The scenery is impressive, and the magic and action are animated masterfully. To cut it short, Frieren is eye candy.
It Doesn’t Include Inappropriate Themes
Anime tend to go down fanservice-y roads a lot, but Frieren is nothing like that. There’s nothing sexual or inappropriate, characters don’t even swear. There’s no sexism or wrong and problematic messages.
You won’t have to blush, sitting by your parents' side, or make up an excuse to leave the room until an uncomfortable moment is over on the screen. You can just relax and enjoy the series, while feeling absolutely safe.
Your mom will especially like Frieren if she’s also a fan of strong female characters because there are plenty of them in the series. And the best part? They aren’t sexualized. Okay, perhaps Übel is. A little bit. But don’t worry, it’s not even that bad.
The only way your parents might not like Frieren is if they’re not fond of fantasy series. This anime has all the old-school fantasy elements such as magic (duh), elves, dwarves, demons, and even dragons.
But if your parents aren’t so strict about genres and enjoy a fantasy show once in a while, Frieren is a wonderful choice of anime to watch together. And there’s a big chance that it’ll make them so in love with anime that you’ll have to show them more.
