So, I'm justgoingtosaythisrightatthebeginning, butifyou'relookingfor a fantasywherethere's non-stopactionandlotsofconflict, you'reprobablygoingtogetboredandnotenjoyFreerunthatmuch.
It's a marginalperiodoftimethatmayseemsignificantwhenwe'reexperiencingit, butinthegrandschemeoflifeas a whole, those 4 monthsaresomethingwe'llbarelyrememberwhenwe'reolder.
Freerunhadneverconsideredjusthowfleeting a human's lifereallywas, sotoseethemchangesomuchandevenpassawayshortlyafter, well, thatwas a revelationthatmadeherintriguedinsomethingelseforonce.
So, astheyearswentonandFreerun's journeycontinued, shewouldmakeanefforttointeractmorewithothersandtryherbesttorecoupwiththepartymembersthatwerestillalive.
Eventually, shewouldfindherselfjoinedby a newparty, andit's theintroductionofthemandtheirjourneyonthatsameheroicpathof 80 yearsagothatbringsusto a newstoryofparallelscontinuationsandconnections.
So, it's thatcontrastbetweenFreerun's dismissivenaturetowardstimeandeveryoneelse's desiretonotwasteitthatconstantlyremindsusofhowtimeisalwaysflowinghere.
CombinethiswithFreerun's growthbeyondcomplacencytowardssomething a bitmoresympathetic, andwhatwegetisanemotional, character-drivennarrativeonwhatlivingforevermightdoto a person.
Now, when I saidFreerunwasepisodicbynature, what I meantwasthatthenarrativewaslooselyconnectedthroughtheoneortwoindependentstorieshappeningbetweenthem.
I don't thinkit's anywherenearasemotional, butthatepisodicportrayalofindependentstoriesthroughoutonelargeroneisactuallyverysimilartoeachother.
感情移入はできないけど、独立した物語がエピソードとして描かれているところが似ていると思います。
Youalsohave a mainprotagonistwholacks a fundamentalunderstandingofwhatitmeanstobehuman, andit's theirself-discoveryofitthatmakesFreerunandVioletverysimilartoo.
ItcouldalsojustbethesoundtrackbyEvanCallmakingmethinkthat, but I'm fairlycertainthestoicfemaleprotagonistgoingon a journeyofunderstandingissomething I'veseenbefore.
I'm notsayingtheirlackofexpressionis a badthing, buttheircomposedbehaviourandsoft-spokenmannerisms, combinedtogetherwithFreerun's leisuredprogression, makes a slowstoryfeelevenslower.
It's a captivatingstorydespiteitsepisodicformat, perfectlyblendsseveralheavierthemeswerarelygetin a fantasyanime, thenpresentsthesewell-developedcharactersin a settingbothintriguingandmemorable.
They'refactorswhichallcometogethertomakethisseries a worthwhileone.
このシリーズを価値あるものにしている要素だと思います。
I don't knowifthat's actuallyenoughtomakeitworthyofthenumberonespotonMal, butasfarasadaptingfromthesourcetoanimegoes, Freerunhasdoneitthebestby a landslide.
その評価が実際に MAL で第 1 位に値するかどうかはわかりませんが、原作からアニメへの適応としては、フリーランは間違いなく最高の出来でしょう。
Theanimemaynotbeforeveryone, butin a timewherefantasyanimearepumpedout 10-20 a season, it's quitenicetogetonethat's bothdifferentandhighquality.
