This episode is pretty good and is definitely one of the best episodes IMHO, probably my best or 2nd best episode as of now, the introduction of those psychopath demons is good and it's something this anime needed to mix things up a bit, slice of life is decent and all I guess but it's something I don't usually enjoy so I need something else to go along with it to keep me interested and the introduction of these demons is what I needed at the moment so I'm cool with it.

And goddamn it, that's one hell of a cliffhanger, now I can't wait for the next episode. Pretty good stuff here, I only wished the OST was better because I honestly don't like the OST in this anime, it lacks melody and I'm simply not feeling it.

But wait a minute, if Frieren is so strong, why couldn't she defeat the dragon from the previous episode by herself? are those dragons so OP that even the demon lord can't kill them 1v1?

Does anyone know what was that swing with fire scene when Frieren talks about elves extinction?

Edit: The ED of this show is amazing. Is the artist same as Vinland saga season 2?

Looking forward next week. Will there be an awesome fight?

Frieren is changing focus this episode with this new multi episode threat, but it's still excelling with its character writing.

Lugner looking around that room to find something to manipulate Graf with gave me chills. No one likes to be manipulated, and a whole species of manipulators is terrifying!

I had assumed the character that appears near the end of the opening was the Demon Lord or something along those lines, but now that I look more closely at them I realize that it's clearly another elf surrounded by books...

The demon was seriously called "Lord Lügen". These people need to brush up on their foreign language skills, maybe then they wouldn't fall for stuff like this xD /j

I like to imagine that the demon learned the phrase "It hurts, Mom" from its victim. Twisting pained cries for help into something so hollow.

Being able to communicated doesn't mean ability to understand each other. Such a nice change from what we usually get in such stories. I really appreciate this story not going with the simplistic approach that every being's mind works same as human's.

I like the statues bit at the start, here in the west younglings continue to tear down and deface statues to rob us of history, but this eps hammers home the importance of history.

Sensing a lot of anti-demon settlement around here...

In seriousness, one of the fascinating points of the manga was their cutthroat depiction of demons. These guys are not human or even human-like.

Also one of the demons reminds me of Johan Liebert from Monster.



I love the way they have depicted demons in this anime. They most likely don't understand the concept of camaraderie but understand how to use it for survival and deception.

@erikkamirs
They look so similar that it makes me wonder if his design was at least partially inspired by Johan.

We're now in another stage of the story where waiting for the next episode is unbearable.
That declaration by Frieren at the end is just fire. Time for some demon heads to roll and let their bodies hit the floor.

It's quite refreshing seeing a story where the talk no justu bullshit it's just that for a race that tries to lure in preys. Makes you wonder how powerful words can be for those who give them value. Plus, Fern reacting with a poker face to pretty much everything is quite amusing.

Considering this seems to be 28 episodes, I kind of want to know how many volumes of the manga it will cover. I have only read the 8 physicals which has come out. Don't wanna spoil myself via the anime if it covers more than that.

Love how there’s such a thin line between elves and demons as solitary creatures with little emotion or passion.

I like their description of demons in this world. Creatures that are able to speak to humans but only do so in order to trick us. They are solitary creatures with no need for family. They will only work together if it means a end to a goal.

Glad they didn't pull any but they might be good bs. Or Frieren is racist bs. Nah at the end of the episode its confirmed they're evil and they won't change.

Also Frieren's greatest strength is literally her patience. I would've busted out of there asap, but with Frieren's wisdom she knew to stay put because she knew eventually what was going to happen.

This is actually one of the creepier depictions of demons that they basically are just really manipulative and not pointlessly evil just completely self serving to a ruthless degree when necessary and they dont understand humans so they make all sorts of mistakes and there isnt a clear indicator they are intentionally malicious against humans if the humans arent seen as a threat to them. It is just their nature.

Great episode. Thank the heavens for a story that doesn't try to get me to sympathize with the antagonist, but allows me to fully enjoy the clash between good and evil with no bullshit woe is me flashback's. There's a place for that too, but not here.

Love the last line. Look forward to seein their smug smiles disappear.

This is not how it works. Some enemies could be just inconvenient for Frieren due it resilience or unic skills like in dragon case (it skin has magic resistance), while other are Powerfull but very convenient opponents (like Aura)
.
So yep, while Frieren is very strong by herself, she is not equally strong against all type of enemies. This is why she need team with different skillset
Even Fern have some qualities better then Frieren (like her natural talent to cover her magic trace or faster cast of spells then Frieren)

The start of my favorite early arc from this series. It heavily hints the upcoming confrontation between Frieren and Aura. If Game of Thrones had their battle of bastards, this show will have their own battle of lolis.
