Nice, I've seen a lot of anime final battles with the big boss but that one might just take the cake. They pulled the old Dragonball Z ki supression but took it to the extreme. Whereas DBZ still had the fight, this one was over before it even began. Love it. If only Aura had said "Over 9000?!" And smashed her scales, LOL.
Of course Luke said it to the Emperor even longer ago "Your overconfidence is your weakness". How much cooler would it have been to see Luke make the Emperor pick up his lightsaber and cut his own head off though?
Freiren's low key always bored personality makes such great sense, loved that most of the episode was a flashback with Flamme. Even the way they saved that for this was brilliant. She really knew what she was doing when she chose her apprentice.
This show is so good it's going to be so hard now to take shonen fighting shows seriously after this haha.
I'd also love a 2nd season but this was such a well paced story I am sure after next week there won't really be any more story to tell. Which I don't mind in a way.

The show is only halfway through volume 3 of 11. Plenty left for a season 2. Like you said it's well paced and doesn't seem to be rushing through it's source material. |

| For some reason I find this video hilarious |
| Episode 11 With Aura and her minions dead, the battle is over and after holding a memorial for the soldiers, the journey continues. Unfortunately, it's winter and they are quite harsh the further north they go. Good thing Frieren knew where to find shelter in the middle of the woods, and there they meet Kraft, a fellow elf priest who hasn't seen an elf in over 300 years. They end up spending six months there as they wait for the winter to pass by, and they become close friends with Kraft. Stark comes across as an oddball, but he's somebody who's easy to get along with, and seeing another elf was just what he needed. |
| Ha, when Stark started dreaming about the jumbo berry parfait, I realized he has the same voice actor as Mash from Mashle. The music playing during Frieren's remembrance of the priest was pretty epic. |
| From a party composition, it's a shame that Kraft didn't join the team. As a priest and long lived elf, I assume he's cable of healing magic. He would've been really helpful for someone like Stark. I am amazed at how Frieren and Fraft are so nonchalant about possible extinction of their kind. Frieren originally lived in a village, so maybe the elves were more likely to procreate in the past. |

| @Graumann Didn't she say earlier that elves basically had no interest in procreation? They seem asexual. There's no half-elves running around either. I suppose if you have no interest in procreation and treat hundreds of years as a little while then nothing seems that urgent. |

| @runec Frieren did mention that, but there's also a contradictory point when she first encountered Flamme. She was in an elven village with a decent population. At that time, the Demon King did order for mass murder of elves. Perhaps the elves population became so low that elves rarely saw each other, and with lesser bonding, became more and more asexual in a thousand years. |

| @HOOfan_1 True, he seemed a priest in his profession, but potentially monk in terms of combat. There are some example in RPGs with healing monks. In World of Warcraft, the monk class has a specialization called Mistweaver; which is a melee-based healer monk. |

| It makes sense for a long lived race to not be very emotional. Graumann said: I can see that. With how even 50 years isn't a lot of time to them it could take decades of spending time with someone before they start to develop romantic feelings. That wouldn't be so much an issue as long as there were villages of them living together. If the demon king managed to destroy all their villages, and it seems like he did, then it would be a very big problem for the scattered survivors.Perhaps the elves population became so low that elves rarely saw each other, and with lesser bonding, became more and more asexual in a thousand years. |

| Episode 12 The party is navigating through a blizzard in the mountains as she underestimated them. They venture into a village where the Hero Sword that even Himmel failed to draw from the stone. While Himmel was a fake hero, he was a hero nonetheless. The chief of that village is now a little girl as much of the place has died down. And then Stark's birthday is coming up, and Frieren and Fern are looking at presents to give him, though there's just no way Stark would ever take that potion that Fern ultimately used on Frieren. Fern got Stark a bracelet, albeit not that expensive gold one he wants. And for dinner, they celebrate with a meal of Hamburg steak. This episode is all about what being a hero is all about as while Himmel was a hero, he was a fake. But Stark has a chance of being that real hero, but has quite a long way to go. |
| A whole ten coppers for saving the world? So they got 1 copper per year. How generous. At least put some sauce on that hamburger steak. I don't see any appeal in eating several pounds of unseasoned ground beef. |

Was that a flashback to after or before, sounded like it was when they first started and the king didn't want to waste money on another party who fails. It wasn't a reward but a "here's a little something to help you get started".
Had to be something else added to the hamburger, she had to follow a recipe. I doubt it just said "cook 10lbs of beef".

| @MenchiK1 No one said it was a complicated recipe~ |
| I really need to start watching this one of these days. I just finished volume 7 of the manga and it's just fantastic. |

| @runec Maybe he is a grower, not a shower. Then again, how many has Fern seen to compare it to? Plus she was interested enough to look. |
Reply to marklebid
They're basically alone except for Frieren for the next 10 years until they get to wherever they're going right? Not a ton of options.
| @marklebid and if they have a kid or kids then those kids can travel around with Frieren after Stark and Fern die, or become to decrepit to travel. Then the grandkids, then the great grandkids, then the great great grandkids. |
| Episode 13 Here comes Sein, who Frieren and company are looking at to join the party. So they make a bet with the village chief, and they lost to the chief, leaving Stark and Sein out in the cold in only their underwear. Sein is somebody who has long wanted to be an adventurer and is largely in it for the women, but as he got older he lost his motivation. The only thing that is keeping the possibility alive is the fact that his friend had gone missing for ten years, and he now assumes he's dead. But above all, he's staying put because of his brother, who is an accomplished priest in the village. So after getting a scolding from his brother, Sein has decided to become an adventurer, and become a temporary member of the party. It was a rather silly episode, but it does a great job establishing Sein's character as somebody who's wants to be an adventurer, but keeps on finding excuses not to be one, until now. |
| Kind of a nice change of pace to have a comedic episode, although I guess last week had some comedy as well. That opening gag reminded me of the Johnny Depp stepping off the sinking boat at the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean and Sein kind of reminds me of Jack Sparrow in that movie...too bad that series took a nose dive after that. |
| That's a hell of a venom that snake has if it literally dissolves your brain. |
| You guys were talking like they'd never meet anyone else so Fern and Stark wouldn't have any other choices. |

| Never fails to be lovely, this Anime. You could see where this episode's story was going from miles away but it was fun and engaging enough to be an entertaining episode. Can't believe Sein and Stark lost their clothing and stuff twice and the gamblers were still nice enough to give their things back to them a 2nd time xD Negatives: Frieren mentioned her master, Flamme, teaching her the seductive technique... but they didn't show us Flamme doing it! I need to see it!!! I must see it!!! SHOW ME FLAMME-NEESAN-SENSEI USING THE SEDUCTIVE TECHNIQUE!!! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ |

| @zkeleton I can see maybe Stark getting seduced and leaving a kid behind somewhere but Fern would break fingers before anyone came anywhere close to her. |
| Frieren is inadvertently putting together this generation's party of heroes. Fern the Mage; who is her apprentice. Stark the Warrior; who is Eisen's apprentice. Now, Sein the Priest; who is somewhat connected to Heiter. With this trend, I'm thinking that we will meet and pick up this generation's Hero later in this series; who will likely have a connection to Himmel if the trend continues. I found it amusing that Eisen might have given Frieren a misleading perspective on close combat fighters. As a seasoned warrior and a dwarf, Eisen appeared to be the quite the resilient tank for the group. Resilient enough to even mitigate effects of poison and other ailments. With this is mind, I could see why Frieren didn't extensively develop her abilities in healing magic. |
