| Seems like the statue that holds memories is very important in that era... |

| This was a really boring episode. |
| Sein is not a boring character, but I just think Frieren, Fern and Stark are way more interesting, so this was one of the weaker episodes for me. Guess the first half was up to standard though. |
| A much needed more light hearted and funny episode though the end is kinda sad. Gorilla warrior and Goatee Priest a tale of two warriors. I would really love to see Gorilla warrior and Goatee priest together especially since they wanted to be remember forever, how are they meant to do that if there not working as warriors together. I loved the nick names this episode, the stubborn old lady was a very good one though i actually kinda liked her and her making the gang do chores was kinda funny and seeing them go to ploish a statue had me wondering who it was gonna be of and i was surprised to see Krafy an unsuspecting hero who left his mark, i wonder who that was next to him i hope we learn who it was soon. The photo Sein has of him and his friend was quite interesting to me i actually really like that spell. |

Sein will leave won't he? Damn. That was a very nice bit with the old dwarf
| @PrimeX Having sein leave now seems like such a waste. He only just joined? |
| Another nice episode as they're snowbound for a month! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Another amazing episode, as expected from Frieren. About the 1st half of the episode, I must say, poor Stark, he's always the one to be attacked xD The others were just chillin' and Stark had to bring an enormous boulder through an uphill, Stark Best Boy never catches a break. Also, the way Sein said "I will reunite with my friend" is honestly scary, because it seems it's foreshadowing something, because imagine if his friend is dead, then there would only be one way for them to reunite... Anyways, the 1st half was more about Frieren reminiscing old memories, while the 2nd was more about Sein's friend. And honestly, all this progression is making me worry for the worse, that is that Sein's friend really died, since it has been 10 years. Not only that, we now know that if Sein wants to pursue his friend, he'll have either to way a lot, since he went for a town the opposite way the party needs to go, so he'll have to wait for them to resolve their business in that city first, or he'll need to go by himself, leaving the party. Since the next episode is called "Take Care", and Sein really isn't listed as a main character, I suppose that he decided to go directly there, leaving the party. I hope that goes well for him though. To note though, that his friends name really is quite memorable, the Gorrila warrior xD Also, this must be the last time we hear this set of opening and ending, they were really good, and I'm going to miss them :( Also, the opening might not be completely what Sousou no Frieren is about, but it's such a good song! Edit: Forgot to mention how important it was to see that it is indeed possible to have a relationship between "species", like the Dwarf from the episode had a human wife. Only makes Frieren x Himmel more and more real =3 |

| Show breaks its own setting, suddenly there's photography in the medieval world now, totally RETCONS the setting, all for a cheap and shortsighted attempt at emotional manipulation by having Sein look at the photograph as a memory- and look- he's smoking Marlboros now. At least Ginko's cigarettes looked homemade in Mushishi. Jesus... You never see anyone with a camera anywhere in this show, funny that. Then they WALK (and talk) to go see the dwarf guy who has never been more than a cardboard cutout of a character. Why don't they just have a horse drawn buggy to get around in? Oh never mind. They stand around and talk quietly. So damn boring |

| @SuperAdventure It's almost like they mentioned a mage was taking the pictures at the very start of the episode. Funny that. |
 Such is life... |
| this ep is kinda boring but still masterpiece one of the best |
| I feel bad for Sein. His friend is the opposite direction to where Frieren and her squad are going. If he leaves, its a sad day but understandable |
 |
| This series is so well done. As each episode goes by, it's like more and more weight is being taken from off of my shoulders. So far, it's been a truly pleasant experience in a vast variety of ways. |
| Amazing episode as usual. Love the bit when Fern said that they're a group of socially awkward people, lol. Frieren and Voll's interactions were heartwarming and seeing Sein's face at the end.. I don't think he's going to stick around longer. |
Now it's become more interesting. I can feel the Stark character.  |
 |
| Old man Voll is 400 years old but still strong as an ox :P. Goatee Priest got info about Gorilla but he's in the right opposite direction nooo :/ |
| Im not going to say much in this forum post because i want to sleep but amazing episode as usual. More frieren lore and stuff amazing! |
| I don't get the people who call this episode, or even show, boring. Even if it's slower paced, I'm never bored. |
| Another sweet, caring episode of the pain of aging and the short memory of man. Will we see Old Man Voll again before he passes? And will they take the easterly road to Tur? The glimpses of "action" were delightfully done, my favorite was Frieren and Fern being chased by a giant chicken. Any other anime would make an entire scene out of that, here it's just a passing story, like an old memory where the high points are remembered and the sad, painful parts are lost to time. Fern and Stark grow closer, and soft plays of affection are scene in the day-to-day scenes, holding her hand when crossing a bridge, walking together in comfortable silence, just enjoying their nearness. Every episode draws me in closer to the band of four. The story is no longer important to me, nor does it matter WHERE they are going, just the fact that they are going together. I am sad to know that there's only 12 episodes left... what am I going to do then? A manic view of an animated nervous breakdown like Dan Da Dan is not a replacement for this wonderfully crafted tale of love and aging. Who ever wrote this is a wordsmith of tremendous porportions and I can't rate this anime high enough. |
| Damn man, I love this series. |
| Please stay, I love you Sein |
| dammit don't leave us, Sein. I've already come to love you and what you add to our party dynamic. :( There are so many 素敵 little moments in this show which tap into deep recesses inside my breast, conjuring long forgotten emotions. I would say I still don't approve of it triumphing over FMA in the charts, but the truth is the wrong FMA was king anyway, so meh. |

| I had a passing thought about the parallels between Frieren's past and present parties, where Fern directly connects to Heiter and Stark directly connects to Eisen. Meanwhile, Frieren is herself while there's no present-day protégé of Himmel. The OP didn't feature any prominent fourth party member, and while Sein brings his own dynamics to the party, doesn't seem thematically connected to Frieren's story as the other two. I'm not exactly sure where the story's going with this, but I guess we'll see. |
