Sein seems like a good addition to the group.
Fans are unhappy with the character, especially his preference for older women.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) is one of the most popular anime at the moment. It can definitely be called the most famous fall season novelty. Fans were enchanted by this title's melancholic atmosphere and memorable characters. But it seems that not everything is so good. Some have expressed their dissatisfaction with several decisions, especially with Sein's personality.
Priest from a small village
Recently, the Frieren group had a new member — a middle-aged priest. The heroes found him in a small village where he lived with his brother. Frieren recognized the man's potential and invited him to join the party. The group had previously consisted of three people, and they were only one member short of the protagonist's previous group.
Despite his disappointment with life, Sein did not immediately accept the invitation — he was worried about his brother and felt obligated to be with him. However, the passion for adventure and the desire to find his childhood friend overcame him. That's how the group was formed.
Outwardly, Sein is the most mature party member. Perhaps that is why he helps Fern and Stark resolve their conflicts and acts as a symbolic father figure to the young mage. Despite the fact that he is a priest, many of his actions go against the common perception of that status. Not only does he smoke, drink, and gamble, but he also has a rather cynical outlook on life. These traits make him very reminiscent of Heiter, who also had a drinking problem.
Joke gone wrong
Despite all the controversial aspects, Sein seems like a good addition to the group. He's calm and level-headed, so he brings balance. Priest becomes the second adult character after Frieren, equalizing the number of young and adult members. However, fans are unhappy with the character, especially his preference for older women. This is mentioned more than once and has little value to the plot.
This trait of his personality adds comic relief to the story. Frieren is many years old, far more than any other character in the story. All because she is an elf and lives a very long time. The girl, however, looks very young and is more like Fern.
Despite the fact that this element was originally intended as a joke, some fans are bored by its repetition, and some are even offended by the subject matter. Most likely, the creators did not want to hurt anyone, and Sein's preference for older girls was meant to be another joke on the heroes. After all, almost every character has such traits. For example, Himmel is a narcissist despite his kind character.
Was Frieren's last party member a bad decision?
