| From now on, this series sists comfortably as an Anime of The Year contender, at least visually, personally the best looking show this year. |
| Masterpiece. I love this episode and really hope there will be more like this one. |
 |
| In an already amazing anime it takes quite a bit to make an episode stand out, but this one really did. So intense I almost ecsta-pee'd !? |

the truth I thought it would cost stark less to kill the demon girl, but it cost him almost his life, fern is literally too powerful, with a minimum effort she killed the demon king and I expect the same from frieren, although the aura technique consists in that if the rival has less magic power than her, she automatically turns him into her puppet, and she has an abysmal magic power, although frieren is not far behind, that fact scares me a little bit. |
 |
| I had quite the expectations for the animation in this and next episode, but they really delivered. |
 |
| Holy shit man, the art and animation this episode were something else. The final shot showing Stark and demon girl charging each other where the sky is lit up with magic from Fren's fight was so sick. |
| With the episode's title in mind, I thought that the majority of it would be focused on Frieren against Aura. While that battle had some good exposure, the battle that got more screentime was involving Fern and Stark. Regardless, it doesn't change just how insane this episode was as a whole. =) The animation was a thing of beauty to behold. Not only the character's movements, both combat and non-combat animation, looked so smooth and impressive, but even the background being animated alongside the characters during the battles was a thing to behold. Fern and Stark had a tough fight against Lugner and Linie respectively, with Stark having a tougher time since Linie was mimicking the same fighting style as Eisen, which did put him on the back foot for the whole fight. While he was almost down and out, he did recall Eisen's lessons which helped him back up and finally go on the counter offensive, which made a hell of a difference, helping him to win his fight. In doing so, it made Lugner lose his concentration for a split second, which was plenty enough time for Fern to finish him off as well. While Stark's flashback timing here does warrant legitimate reasons for nitpicking the use of this flashback trope, it was still integrated so seamlessly and fittingly that I can't really complain about it at all. ^^; I do highly look forward to seeing more of Frieren against Aura. Their fight so far was insightful into how Aura's abilities works and seeing what Frieren can do to counter that. It doesn't matter to me if the remainder of their fight is short or long, I simply hope that the production values will hit the same level as it did for this episode. |
| Fuck yeah! They did it! I honestly thought that Frieren would have to come and help them, but I'm really glad that wasn't the case. |
| Absolutely goated episode! This is how action should look like! All the "big action studios" should take notes. The episode was titled after Aura and Frieren got a cool setup last ep, yet they didnt bother to show us the fight because its probably so utterly onesided in Frierens favour they instead showed us her companions beating the demons. I am really loving this show right now, not even sad its not the emotional SoL I expected it to be |

| @SoulFire_Anime Huh? I thought this was an episode discussion? People shouldn't be here if they haven't watched the episode yet. |

| While I love the world building and story this anime has, the fight seems are pretty awesome as well |
 |
| Seriously. The word I can describe for this show is its really a masterpiece or perfect (for me ofc). The plot, characters, animation etc... Since episode 1 it's been consistent. Just wow I have no issues. I love the small details in just a simple conversation scenes when they moved it's so realistic and smooth. It's always been like that every episode. And now the fights are just wow I love the angles and the sakugas. We have likable characters like frieren and fern and there's our funny stark. How the plot delivered is just so interesting and hooks you up. |

If the fight has less conversation it would be peak (just a nitpicking)
But damn this episode is really good. For non battle show the fight animation is really Godly.
-------
This show really almost has all of em:
Chill moment - Great character development - Great battle scenes animation + no fanservice.
The only thing that missing is the stakes, but no one come & watch Frieren for the heavy stakes lol. I really love this episode & love this series.
10/10

| @Akihara_Jim the fanservice is seeing Frieren being groggy in the morning |
| This show is already so pretty, but the action scenes this episode were drop dead gorgeous! Stark might be a coward but his body is definitely strong enough to tank whatever his opponents dish out. It might just take him a bit to realize this. It was a really cool moment when Fern and Lügners battle turned into the background for Starks and Linies. |
