Frieren is amazing showing us very properly how humans need simbols (for love, peace, victory, fear...). Loved how Himmel managed to ignore the profecy and become a "real" hero.
Stolz... the best brother, I say. Very touching when Stark realizes that he always was loved.

Damn bro Frieren always be leaving me crying. This was a great episode for Stark. Having the true hero chapter before it worked so well. I assume it was like that in the manga as well but if not great job anime team. I am sort of rooting for Stark and Fern even tho I except there to be very little romance at any point in this show.

I didn't even realize we never had a proper backstory for Stark. That's how already interesting he was.

Also, never realized Frieren and Anya share a VA. They certainly have that smug smile going on and at times, I am compelled to believe that they share the same braincells.

Frieren dreaming of her old party, missing them and snuggling with Fern upon waking up to find comfort, while almost smiling, was really touching. I'm so curious about the ring she picked up from her suitcase, though, as I think it was the same ring shown at Himmel's funeral when she cried. I also wonder if Stark would be able to pull that sword out and hope to see him and Fern become a couple one day. ❀️

Gotta love how Crunchyroll's subs completely omit the fact that the Goddess bestowed the Hero's Blade upon them despite Stark clearly mentioning her in Japanese. I even went and checked the chapter this was from (25) to be sure I wasn't making things up.

The hamburger reveal almost made me sobs because of the buildups from Stark's past and how it contrast with the actual events. This is the hardest hitting episode besides the reveal of Flamme moments although that invoke different kind of emotions from this.

I had a hard time holding back my tears on this one. Sometimes, love isn’t spoken outright but expressed through actions. I wish we knew what happened to Stark’s big bro afterwards. Madhouse also isn’t shying away from building up that certain moment in the manga.

After this episode I needed to change my note from 9 to 10. What an episode, guys.

The truth that Himmel didn't take the Hero Sword from the rock but defeat the Demon Lord even without it, showing that he WAS the hero in fact was great.

But damn... that end with Stark's past... I almost cried. He noticing that his brother and his sensei always gave him birthdays presents, even he doesn't knowing this. His brother was the only one who believed in his potential before Eisen found him.

One of the best episodes, and i also couldn't stop thinking that this is how JJK should actually look like, the action scenes are not only incredibly animated but the character design keep 100% of the time consistent.

I love how this episode is centered around Stark and his childhood. The episode was great overall, it had the right balance between serious and comedic moments.

Another lovely episode, this one gave me all kinds of feelings.

Like, how Himmel is a REAL hero, because he had the willpower and belief to show he's a hero, even though he never pulled out the sword.

The birthday Hamburg steak got me teary eyed. Stark's brother must have loved him very, very much. That's a great brother.

Fern is a laugh this episode! 🀣
Poor Stark, getting judged just like that. πŸ₯²
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.

I didn’t get it until now, on how everyone was saying how sad it was; I was just watching to appreciate a solid fantasy story. Stark’s realization hit me like a truck and made me shed a tear.

Coming to realize the truth of your relationship with friends and family, the bonds you had and how much they loved you; only to then face the reality that you can’t reciprocate those emotions having come to realize them too late.
