| Correct me if I'm mistaken, but did Kraft mention that he has met the goddess once? He's probably over 5000 years old when people were still using stones as tools. |

| The illustration of the Goddess by Abe Tsukasa-sensei is so beautiful! |

| This episode is seriously making me want to read the manga... 🥲 Another amazing episode. @Janethan23 For this series' world (after watching this episode), it looks like a hundred years is only something like a year or a decade to them. Then he also called Frieren as someone younger than him... So it's probably like that ↑↑↑ |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

It's so weird do heard Dio... I mean Takehito Koyasu talk this caim
| @SasakiYuuto he appears at least 2-3 times every season out of nowhere. |
| Love the shift back to the slower SoL vibes after a lot of intensity over the past few episodes. I hope we get to see Kraft again soon, he made a good impression very quickly and I like him a lot already (and also hearing Takehito Koyasu is always a plus). |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

Interesting, 1000+ years old is considered young.
How old is Kraft then?
3000 - 5000 years old doesn’t sound like out of possibility.

| @Mainnus In my opinion, I think Kraft has to be atleast 6000 years old as he is starting to age (In human years about in his 40s) |
| A wholesome SOL episode. Evan Call soundtrack is outstanding. |
| It's nice to see another elf. He is jacked af. |
| When that insert song took place in the episode, it felt like a very precious moment. The fact the song was also utterly beautiful? Yeah, I think that showed quite well why Frieren as a series is such a wonderful one. 💖 |

| Great episode, nice break from the action I liked what Kraft said, "And before that?". An elfs famous adventure list is probably like a millennial programmers linkedin I wanna see more of Kraft singles, hes somehow both badass kind and hot  Stark and Ferns reactions were cute as usual, I guess gay people also exist |
| The demons have been defeated, the knights have been buried, and one of the harshest winters have passed. Traveling to Endo is still our main goal. Cool to see Frieren talk to another elf, thought they'd talk a bit more but it was interesting to see the elf's take on religion. |
| Well Frieren stark and fern are leaving the town and going to the north territorium and yeah stark has really funny in this episode with fern. Well Kraft was a nice guy he really resembles heikel. Very good episode. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| The elven lifespan must be batshit insane if Kraft called Frieren young. lol (it was funny how Fern tried to shoo her away from him despite lacking the horny anyway) |
| At least we now know it is still possible to repopulate the elven race. |

| @delirific Dont think so, not a lot of self-preserve instinct on the elf race. BTW Great episode. Loved it to be relaxing again after the last arc. |

| urusan aura udh selesai melanjutkan perjalanan ke utara tapi terjebak badai salju dan bertemu elf lainnya yaitu kraft |

| @falko92 Physically, all the bits are there. All they lack is motivation. The past elves clearly had some reason they did it, even if pragmatic rather than instinctive in nature. |
| Parting is such sweet sorrow. I liked the monk so much, really cool guy. I hope we can see more of the elves. They are all so lonely it's sad. I also like the aspect where not all religion is bad; tired of seeing it demonized. |
 |
| damn man, the choir music was absolutely divine at the beginning and then another song later on, this show just doesn't miss. i was not expecting takehito koyasu's voice while reading lol that was very interesting. more parallels, you love to see it and another great episode. that "i'll see you in a few centuries" hit hard but i'm glad freiren got to meet another elf. |
 |
| How is this series so cool. Frieren has been around people who are considered myths nowadays, like Flamme, the founder of humanity's magic, but Kraft is implied to have been around since before the last time the Goddess showed up! I can only imagine what he's accomplished in his life that he wants the Goddess to praise him for... |
| After riding the wave of excitement from that epic last arc, a laid-back, slow-paced episode like this really brings back the essence of what initially captivated me in this storyline. It's like a masterclass in weaving emotions and melancholy through dialogue. The theme of elves witnessing their own race fading into obscurity hits hard, and the notion of seeing your achievements and companions erode over time is genuinely disheartening. Kraft could have been a hero on par with Frieren, and the thought adds another layer of depth. There's this nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of 90s Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem, where the final scenarios often introduced a super old hero from a bygone era. Frieren's character is sparking a desire in me to dive back into those games. |

@MomoSinX the guy may have thousands of years, while Frieren the girl just have something more than a millenia. And we are still going to see another elf from mith era. --- That "city's SOL" scenes and music was amazing. |

| Ah man, this one is so very good. It's beyond what I hope for, get sucked in and don't know if there is anything different to say than the many others. The song in the middle is epic, and the rest of the music is A+++. Some rich horns going on can be a real good time. I get the hate with the OP, seemingly unsimilar in style, but I kinda like it. It's got a funky beat, and I can dance to it. Everything is good and nothing is bad with this episode. The element of time is so masterfully treated my head spins. 6 months in a cabin, 6,000 year old monk, nightly supper together before the fire, 24-minute slice of life fantasy with a rare double helping of elves. Fabulous storytelling. Great animation. |
| Get to finally see the contrast with someone who has lived much longer then frieren. I assume the monk had is own demon king type of adventure feat. He is so old now not even frieren is familiar with his accomplishments. Even though frierens party completed there adventure relatively recently her accomplishments will slowly, become a tale that is told that few living will know if it actually happened. A story in written literature and forgotten in time similar to the monk as she lives her life. Probably the reason why she doesn't bring it up initially in most of her encounters, even though these would have made the journey easier. She has already moved on mostly and it was a relatively small time event in her lifetime for living a 1000 years already. She realizes most people have long forgotten the party and there accomplishments as most of the humans during that time have died and less will know by the day. Time losses its importance as you know you will likely live so long so its hard to emotionally be attached to anything as elfs. |

| I'm starting to understand Frieren's impression that a decade passes quickly: We've already reached the 11th episode and everything goes by so quickly! Even in episodes like this, where relatively "nothing" happens, it's so enjoyable that at the end it feels like it only lasted 3 minutes. I'm loving Frieren's post-journey, I wish all 28 episodes of the season lasted as long as the combo 1st episode. |
very good chapter, I appreciate very much that you have given us this chapter full of peace and a very cold atmosphere, I loved this chapter and the memory of frieren towards his old group, I love this anime.  |

| Never really noticed or enjoyed an anime background OST & Sound Design this much. This is for the first time after Call of Silence (OST from Attack on Titan) that I'm enjoying music and SFX which are just so soothing & joy bring truly embracing & befitting the theme and joy of adventuring. The rustling of leaves, the crunch of snow underfoot, the clash of swords. The sound design in Frieren creates an immersive experience its almost like Mushoko Tensei but it has it own uniqueness.The sound design ensures that every environment feels real & sort of human. For me music & fights go hand in hand I always love when Directors work with the Sound Team to create a music symphony for big fights and blend it together that it feels like the rhythm of the war. The synergy between visuals and sound elevates the storytelling and brings back the memory of childhood enjoying and discovering the world through my own eyes.  |

| @gladiatorstv And then they ruin all of that with that obnoxious J-pop vocaloid opening song that completely destroys the atmosphere and tone of the show. They could have gone with the Mushishi or Aria route by using a song that goes well with the overall tone of the anime, but instead went with some loud obnoxious song because they need to get more eyeballs and sell singles. It gets especially jarring if you are marathoning the episodes. |
| Lovely chill episode, can't get enough of Fern/Stark interactions |
| another great episode~ can't wait for the next big arc about "chuunin exam" and meeting with... |
