The Possible Live-Action of Sousou no Frieren
A video circulating on social media showcases an imaginary “trailer” for this live-action concept of Sousou no Frieren. Check out the images below:

Fern makes several appearances, both in her childlike and more mature forms, giving the impression that her attire may be a bit too modern for the story’s historical setting.
