Anime rule: She's a murderous monster eating and puppetting human corpses, but hey, she looks like a loli. So we love her 🫶
I honestly don't understand the hype around Aura. She was in, what, two episodes? Barely any screen time, maybe half a dozen lines and the only awesome about her was the way she got killed. Even Linie or Lügner got more character development than her, of you can call it that, considering what demons are in that world.
Aura has been a really interesting case to observe. Reading the manga as it has come out, Aura was really just a minor character, never placing too highly in the popularity polls that they did prior to the anime's release. It wasn't really until the anime that her popularity took off. Her story was very faithfully adapted, so I don't think there is much of a story difference that can be ascribed to causing the difference in reception.
I am guessing the root cause is some combination of a different audience as well as the effects of being a really fucking good adaptation. The Frieren adaptation has been stellar, and the conclusion of Aura's fight is no different. In particular, I think the OST added a lot to the end of that episode, both in the lead up to Frieren's command and the lack of OST immediately afterwards.
I've only seen the first season. For me Aura is only cool because it's the first glimpse of just how bad ass Frieren is, and she just kinda gets caught up in Granny's wake.
The root cause is hentai parodies. Simple as that.
There's 2 reasons. 1: Cute. 2: Boobs
In my head canon Frieren didn't kill her, but just made here do stuff like carry her luggage and farm rice. And also ###### of course.
