For the first time ever the hype didn't disappoint. Honestly a breath of fresh air for anime, my only complaint is I wish it was longer.

I don't think the combat can be saved by better antagonists. The real issue is the author is atrocious at writing characters with a plan of action. The use of flashbacks and over explanatory dialogue here is painful. This might not be so bad if they weren't so insistent on trying to show their protagonist effortlessly outsmarting her opponents.
It's not just a show thing unfortunately, it's faithfully replicating the manga here.
To be clear, I still really like Frieren. It has cozy vibes and a really unique perspective.
Does it need "saving" ? The combat isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, in fact the incredible power displayed sort of raises the stakes because it can clearly all be over in just one mistake.
