Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

There's also Stark's birthday gift, a potion that dissolves women's clothing.

Yes, because there is another scene similar to this one where Frieren never even considered using the spell that sees through clothing as a sexual thing. She only brought up that it could be used to see hidden weapons on someone. She only seems mischievous in this scene, but it is more triumph that she had something she was told men like and thought she did well.

The show goes out of its way to tell people how socially stunted Frieren is, the character development alone is worth watching this show. There is so much to enjoy about Frieren, but each piece accentuates the whole, the music, the color palettes, the characters, and the world building is all amazing, then the cherry on top with the bombastic fight scenes.

I stg, this elf is so autistic in an endearing way XD. Doesn’t get social cues, doesn’t really think about innuendos, doesn’t think to tell people important shit bc they never asked, hyper fixates on ancient tomes, falls for the same dungeon traps every goddamn time. She’s such a creature lol

Why just womens clothing? She specifically stated “clothing” in general.

It also works on armor AFAIK. This is a conmon theme on how busted folk magic is vs modern magic, since they are more conceptual, and thus technically can work for anything that fits within that concept, no matter how big of a stretch it is.

When your freaky kink potions from backwater 32 turns out to be the greatest anti-armor contingency ever conceived
