In the anime fan community, there are always many unpredictable situations, with unexpected actions becoming trends on social networks. That’s what happened after the newly aired episode of Sousou no Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End). It seems like a lot of fans were interested in a scene that focused mainly on the main character’s legs.
It turns out that plantar fasciitis is surprisingly common. Studies on the prevalence of body fetish syndrome show that the feet and accessories related to this part are the most infatuated parts of “believers”. And the Japanese are no exception.
Below is the scene from Sousou no Frieren that has made netizens and anime fans excited and unable to take their eyes off.
In the context of this scene, Frieren reveals to Fern that Stark’s birthday is also on that day, which makes Fern disappointed that he did not reveal it to her in advance. As Fern debates what to give him, Frieren points out that she has the perfect gift for Stark, a clothes-melting potion.
The problem is that this scene in the anime is not exactly the same as in the manga. The entire previous scene was expanded upon by Madhouse animators. Because in the original manga, this scene only has about five panels. This fact was also mentioned on social networks, and fans were beyond appreciative of the animation team’s efforts, along with some rather harsh comments.
Specifically:
– I assure you, to the viewer, the camera angle focusing on Frieren’s legs is absolutely necessary for the plot.
– I wasn’t really interested in watching Sousou no Frieren at all, but this scene definitely caught my attention.
– This episode definitely turned a lot of people towards foot fetishism.
– This scene is impressive, I haven’t watched this series, but now I understand the comments that “Madhouse is back”.
– I wasn’t able to watch this episode the day it aired, but I’m so happy for the Madhouse animators.
