| Another great episode. |
 |
| Total Demon Death. |
| Looks like Johan Liebert and is called "Liar". I'm sure we should trust this guy. |
 |
| The demon "peace envoys" seemed a little overtly moustache-twirling but I guess that's just to show how simple minded demons are Anyway I like how things are ramping up |
| Finally an anime where demons are bad. Not misunderstood, not cute helpless girls with horns but true demons who prey on humans. So refreshing. Also religion was shown in positive light, even atheist dwarf was converted and he started believe in heavens. Based anime. |
| OMG, Frieren woke up early, what a twist!! We start to learn more about the demons, they cannot be trusted it seems, that backstory with the demon girl is a good example of why lol |
 MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| THIS ANIME GOT VILLAINS??? |
 |
| A bit of talk about other elven, and how they're about to go extinct from Frieren perspective. But still curious to see hows the true elven community holds out with those peace of era. Shall they truly gonna go to extinction, or there should be a hidden part of the elf that even Frieren unable to understand it as well, since she's coming as the adventurer, wanderer, from the day one? Also, alongside those part of interesting takes about elf, finally they focused more into this series villain race. Ofc its no other than Demons. Same general-like Qual still lurking around, terrorized nearby humans settlement. But some of their obvious strategy to lure out human weaknesses, been caught on by person with no other than our cold-looking baba, Frieren. A peace envoy, huh? Good lore time and worldbuilding element been laid out. Especially there's no mistaking part about where demons just said it out well enough how their true nature works out in this series. Lot at those foolish youngster demon so-called 'executioneer' trying to act tough in front of Frieren, the almighty cold-blooded mage elf. Time for more action, shall we, baba Frieren? |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| it's pretty interesting how they characterized the demons as these cold creatures when you put them side by side with an elf, frieren. i'm not saying she's bad, but probably not only because of her lifespan, she's not human. sometimes i think she's immature, sometimes selfish, sometimes too cold... she's a different creature too. and i haven't thought that deep about it to get to a conclusion, so i'll leave it at that for now. but the episode certainly made me reflective... |
  |
| nice ending, but why she let her be locked?.. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| I felt bad when the episode ended, once again, proof of what a show this is. |
| The demons in this show remind me a lot of the shiki from Shiki, except these ones are completely malicious whereas the Shiki were originally humans. |
| Maybe the next episode will make sense of it, but what I have seen of the her magic capabilities until now doesn't make it believable that Frieren couldn't escape from that cell easily if she wanted to. So why is she sitting there so peacefully? Don't tell me just because she has all the time of the world on her hands, because she had to realize already that her apprentice doesn't have the same luxury. |

夏草や 兵どもが 夢の跡  |
| creepy ass demons... even if they're cute little girls still a whole lot of evil really like the way they are in this. elves should've developed magic or potions to give themselves more of a sex drive lol |
 |
| It's interesting that the demons in this world are depicted similar to sociopaths wherein the main thing that separates them from humans seems to be just lacking a capacity for empathy. The show seems to be leaning towards the idea that they are completely iredeemable and can't be reasoned with but I kinda still wonder about it. Especially since they have otherwise human reasoning and intelligence to them. And one of the towns people said that they don't have to eat humans to survive. If they didn't have other incentives to kill humans maybe there could be some form of peace? The child demon killed the man because she wanted to make amends in a way but just didn't realize what was wrong about it. Could she eventually been taught things like wrong and right? Kinda like how real life sociopaths can live normal lives and adjust to society if there is effort taken to treat them through behavioral therapy. I'd kinda like it if the show developed a bit more nuance or explored it further but it seems to be going in a more black and white direction. oh well lol. |
| So all demons must die. |
 |
| Hey look a major conflict! This will be fun. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| JSYK, I'm pretty stong. Stronger than me? Stronger than Aura the Guillotine. ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ *Friren looms menacingly* |
| The demons are creepy, especially how they use the human language to manipulate them... they really think they can kill Frieren just like that though? lol |
 |
| I like the interpretation of demons in this series. Lügner is kinda hot. |
| The way this episode ended... Frieren is so sick when she wants to. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Enemies appear and there's killing, yet this still feels relaxing like slice of life. Perhaps this us due to not hearing tension-inducing background music. I'm afraid the battle between Frieren and Aura might not be epic and only be an afterthought. That said, this highlights the cynicism from the fact that 'there's nothing new under the sun.' Frieren, who has a long life, has been there, done that. Nothing surprises her. |
| That demon don't know who they facing, the flash with Himmel was good, also I been listening to the opening and the lyrics are so well chosen |
| Moral of the story: Be like Frieren, be aware of the deception and hidden scheme but above all... Be cautious, be a RACIST And the plot thickens... Frieren is in the wrong town at the wrong time, an old adventurer such as herself cares little for peace envoys if it's a demon. Afterall, out of everyone in this town, she herself is the only one to know the demon's true nature as it proved itself over and over and over again. The demons' desire for peace is not a lie, but their pursuit of peace leaves no room for other beings to coexist. A truly selfish species. Had Frieren stated her identity, she wouldn't be taken so lightly. This young demon has no clue what he's getting himself into. If Aura is strong then Frieren is a transcended entity. We just haven't seen her full power yet. p.s. Lugner the demon looked eerily similar to Johan... In fact, he literally is identical to Johan safe for the external decorations... |
  |
| ah this is a fun arc, first real introduction to the heavy drama of the series |
| hmm. this is an unique depiction of demons or at least i havent came accross a similiar one. usually they either want to kill humans or understand them but these ones are actually plotting against them and they dont have a concept of family |
