Stark makes his glorious entrance! And despite being a huge coward, he proves he's quite powerful.

Stark is awesome! I like his character design a lot too. I actually thought he might BE the dragon at first based on his red colour scheme lol.

I suppose reaching this spirit place is the final destination of the whole series then. Unless it does a bunch of time skips like it did before. Interesting either way.

Music in this anime is consistently fantastic. Really pitch perfect with the tone of the anime and manga. Excellent episode again. Great to see Stark and his interesting introduction. Will Stark help in fighting the dragon or will he be a coward? Guess we’ll have to find out next week.

I'm not impressed by this anime and so far, I still find it overrated but I will admit that the production quality of this anime is pretty good so I'll give them that, I also enjoyed this episode so yeah, this anime is decent, it has a slow buildup though so I hope the buildup is worth it, Steins;Gate also has a slow buildup and it turned out to be pretty awesome later on and now it's my favorite anime so I hope this anime manages to do something good with the slow buildup and manages to impress me later on.

The red hair guy seems to be another Zenitsu, I hope that's not the case since I hate Zenitsu but that's the impression I got with this new character, he seems to be a coward with a secret badass double personality or something, the red dragon probably ran away because his secret badass double personality kicked in and the dragon escaped or something and he doesn't remember it, I'm probably wrong but that's the impression I'm getting so far.

Anyway, it's a nice episode and it's enjoyable so far, I do find the personality of those 2 girls a bit boring though, and they both appear to have exactly the same personality which isn't helping.

Another solid episode.

The journey Frieren and Fern embark on moves along and we finally get to meet Stark. I think his VA is pretty fitting overall, and it's funny to see how the people treat him even though it's revealed that his original encounter with the dragon was just pure luck in the end.

Also, Frieren just wanting to deal with a dragon just for the grimoire lying in it's nest is just another reason why that trait of hers cracks me up. I love that she'd be willing to do anything just to learn a new spell, no matter how dangerous it may be.

I do also wonder just why he would be going at the fissure he's made at night, like, wouldn't he be bothering the villagers who are trying to sleep or something?

I very much look forward to the next episode.

Can't get enough of Fern's pouts and Frieren's cute expressionless face. So this is the point where Stark makes his appearance and it turns into an obvious shounen show, or so I've heard from a few criticizers? I'll begin the manga and see for myself, so far though I really really love this anime and I respect Madhouse for keeping it steady and not rushing

@xZabuzax Lol funny enough but I also hate Zenitsu as not only a character, but as a concept. Very plot devicey to me, but Stark doesn't give me those vibes.

The reason why I say that is because they specifically talked about experience, and how his master (the dwarf) used to be like that too but changed. It's normal for someone to be scared to fight monsters, especially a dragon. Self preservation instincts kick in and sometimes as a warrior it's important to know when to fight and when NOT to fight

My highlights

we're starting where ep 4 left off, "you must find aureole and speak with himmel." I'm not sure how I feel about the main objective but I like that it's supposed to be a big adventure just to chat with a friend.

The theme of "A mere ten-year adventure" and 1/100th continues. Continuing to draw attention to the fact that to frieren this is just a errand but to Fern this adventure is going to be a major part of her life.

Frieren makes a couple off-handed comments that make you wonder how healthy her relationship with her master was, "I'm used to hearing her beg for her life." like holy

They encounter a demon that used illusion to trick you with "Ghosts of the dead" by using your own cherished memories against you. Fern hesitates even knowing its a illusion, once again showing the differenc in experience between her and frieren because frieren nearly instantly destroys the demon that was trying to trick her

Frieren is after a spell tome thats in a dragon nest, her need to collect all types of spells is going to get her in trouble one of these days. This time she's after one that let's you see through clothes to "check for weapons" lol 😆

New character introduction at the end(stark), Eisen recommends a student of his to join frieren and fern on their adventure. He agrees but first they have to defeat a dragon that Ferns attack was useless on earlier.

At first, the anime was kinda effy because it didn't really have personality. I'm glad another party is joining; it'll make the anime ten times better.

Hahaha Stark ... "the dragon who could cut through buildings like vegetables let me live and now I can't even leave the village if I wanted to."

He's got red hair, bandages and a big axe that cut a fissure in the earth. Hmmm. I think I like him already.

@ChainxBastard I only hope the new character doesn't turn out to be another Zenitsu, the real reason I hate Zenitsu is that he's way too over the top and I can't stand his ear rapes, doing it once or twice is fine I guess, but when a character is way too over the top with it and do it almost every single time he appears on the screen then it gets on my nerves.

At least Zenitsu got a bit better in the movie and the 2nd season since he was sleeping and being a badass for a good chunk of the time (THANK GOD!), however, I couldn't stand that mother fucker in the 1st season, that mofo single-handedly ruined S1 for me and I was pretty damn close in dropping that anime because of that mofo, a lot of my friends did, good thing I endured but yeah, I still hate Zenitsu because of S1, even if he got a bit better, deep down I still hate him.

Frieren and Fern finding out some interesting things about their new party member. As they continue to journey around its become evident that only having mages has some downsides. These two can handle most things but not big physical beasts like a dragon. They need a front liner like this Stark guy, the apprentice of another of Frieren party members just like Fern is. There's lots of moments of Frieren and Fern showing off more of their personalities. I love these smaller moments when the characters can breath, it really shows you how interesting they can be. Like when Frieren tries telling Fern that they'll just keep to fight this dragon little by little until it's dead but Fern is adamant about no. Frieren and Fern finding out Stark real secret was so funny, he's a total fraud whom just got swept up in all this. Being frozen in fear during that moment which the villagers think he was so brave. A great use of this trope Stark bawling on Frieren begging for her help. Fern look of disappointment made me laugh too. Stark is going to need to step up for the village sake to stop this dragon.

@234Mannan Ah I see, he's not a Zenitsu then, he simply got lucky like King from OPM, I'm cool with this.

I do hope he keeps that cowardly attitude in check, too much of it and he will look like Zenitsu and that will annoy me, but I don't mind if he does it one or twice every 2 episodes or something, just don't go overboard with it like Zenitsu did.

@eli_shmeli He does, but that´s the thing, when they show flashbacks of their travels from 80 years ago, he already looks like that. So I wonder if dwarves just grow old quickly but then stay the same for the rest of their lives or if he was already pretty old at that point.

@-Saphiran- Episodes 1 to 5 are great indeed. These episodes please the Lord of the Rings fan inside me. Of course, I use to wait after I watched at least 50% of the season or the series to evaluate it. My next evaluation point is after I watched 100%.
