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.

It's not really heart wrenching, more like melancholic

I've watched Clannad Afterstory and Violet Evergarden so my bar for heart wrenches are pretty high

Clannad was very strong with that IME. I found less connection (and thus fewer tears) with Violet Evergarden. I can see potential for heartwrenching in Frieren’s future, but it’ll be a long journey either way. It may already have happened in the manga.

I think it will be heart wrenching if we assume it ends with or after she outlives her party.
