English Translation of Matthew’s After-Show Chat (From ):Thank you for watching. I covered “Brave” by YOASOBI this time. How cool the song is! This is the opening theme to the animation “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”. Have you watched it yet? I didn’t know about the anime, but I heard that this “Brave” was to be the opening song, so I checked it out. It is “VACHIKUSOII” (meaning super good). In a nutshell, usually, stories of the brave are about their adventures until they conquer the Devil. It’s the normal flow. But in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, the story begins when the band of braves conquered the Devil and returned home victorious. It’s the story of what happened after the battles. The protagonist Frieren, the wizard in the band of braves is an elf. Elves live for a very long time. They traveled for 10 years. But how it feels for humans and elves are different. Human members say “it was a very long time.” But for Frieren, “what are you talking about? it was mere 10 years. It’s not even a hundredth of my entire lifetime.” She sounds curt and unfeeling. From then on, many things happen and Frieren starts to think she wants to know about humans. She retraces the track they took in the journey. The story is so…ephemeral…really ephemeral. There are battle scenes, all right, but they are not the main feature. The focus is more on the differences in sense of values between different tribes or species. It’s just ephemeral. It’s ephemeral. I hope you get my drift. (Matthew laughs.) Now the anime is on many streaming sites, like Amazon Prime and Netflix, I think. I recommend you watch “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”. I like reading manga comics. I read a lot of them. Do you have any favorites? If you can recommend your favorite comics in the comments section below, that would make me very happy.
