The pace of Frieren is really slow, which is enjoyable and comfy for a non-fried brain, but it might be too boring for gen Z, the very demographic that might actually benefit a lot from watching it. It's a damn good anime, and your analysis was an interesting read.
I agree on all fronts. I'd be interested in seeing a demographic breakdown of who's watching the show, since it was a hit. I wonder how many Gen-Zers are in the audience...
I didn't plan to watch this show, but you've convinced me, this was an awesome review! Nice work! I'll have to do up my own review of it down the road.
Glad you liked it, and I hope you enjoy the show as much as I am.
As I said, it can be quite slow in parts, but it's nice and "cozy" during those bits, and has good character development and world building. And when the action picks up, it delivers.
Ohhh okay, both are important I love Howard & Tolkien and they always knew to balance both out. In my own writing I try to do so, but don't think I always succeed quite so well.

>Insert Squidward: "Daring today, aren't we?"
It makes sense the archetypal quest would be a Dragon Quest reference. In Japan, European-themed fantasy has extremely strong ties to gaming. It seemed to really migrate over to the country's entertainment with DnD and tabletop RPG's. Of course that's probably why it evolved into the very prevalent Isekai genre we have now, to many people's chagrin...
