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.

How can one anime contain so much cuteness and wisdom at the same time?

Watching Frienen wearing that white negligee on the bed with her perky behind pointing up while she's waving her foot around occasionally stopping might have awakened something in me.

Someone pls post a screenshot of that ASAP
@Janethan23
back then, i remember when i say "man, i love the feet of this anime girl" jokingly but now i think i'm serious over that scene..frieren awakened something deep within me that i didn't expect to have

This show never fails to make me cry. I cried over a hamburg steak! Idk if I got it right, but was Eisen celebrating Stark's birthday even when Stark wasn't around?

Also, make Fern and Stark canon!

This episode had a cool & slice of life feel, but the emotions really hit you, liked the story of stark and the messages given by himmel and also loved frieren's naughty side, love to see more of her.

What an amazing episode, two stories were told in this episode: Himmel's determination to save the world despite being labelled as a false hero really speaks volumes about his character, he is a true saviour of mankind. Stark back story was so touching when he found out he was actually being loved his whole life. His older brother doesn't care about his reputation or status when compared to his little brother was sweet with the details of him disregarding his cap despite for being known to keep his cap clean at all times even during battle.

@Acoustic_Sammy_X Yup, very emotional.
And kinda reliable, when we discover as adults after many years what parents/other ppl did to us and how they probably were struggling themselves, but still made haven for us kids.

@Comander-07 Think she is more protective in a sense that she see's frieren as her mother/female figure in her life and would feel uncomfortable with anyone carrying/touching her.
@Zoopiez thats super odd ngl

I am destroyed. Why can't anyone in this show ever just communicate. How is it that the most awkward and socially inept person has to explain feelings to you.

Great episode. I will be crying myself to sleep tonight, thanks.

Frieren sure released a bit of her inner Anya this episode. Not to mention she even showed way more facial expressions than usual... and all thanks to an ecchi potion lol.

Seriously, character interactions this episode were sooo good. Now I wonder if Stark will try his luck with the Hero Sword someday.

I just wanted to ask the anime where Stark’s background is more detailed and here it is. For me personally, it’s strange that he reproaches himself for running away, he was very young. But the fact that they revealed why he is not fearless is cool. And I like how he overcomes his fear, which makes his exploits more significant for me.

Stark had a troubled past, but at least his older brother cared deeply about his training and well-being by taking care of him. I don’t think anyone can truly fault him for running away, and I hope he ends up a hero like Himmel. I did not expect Frieren to have old man tendencies 😂, Stark would’ve actually appreciated that gift

What scene are you referring to? Did I miss something? If you mean the scene where Eisen explains the tradition to frieren that was when they were on their adventure. As I understood it it's been a tradition in warrior cultures but nobody ever explained that part to Stark. Why nobody ever bothered to explain it can be due to many reasons. Eisen being awkward about emotions. Maybe he assumed that Stark would know about this custom and didn't want to seem patronizing in explaining. Stark clearly never questioned it so nobody assumed that he wouldnt know.
The likeliest is a mix of all of those with everyone involved being awkward about expressing emotions being the likely culprit of it all.

Yeah, this episode hit harder than expected. Stark realizing the Hamburg Steaks were actually birthday presents and that his brother cared for him deeply.

This show has yet to disappoint. Even with all of the excess hype going around.

With the sword being almost a symbol of the hero himself, getting to see a little bit of the story behind Himmel's was not something I was expecting.
Especially the fact that he was a "fake" because the sword didn't choose him, and him not letting that put him off from being a hero.
Also a bit of a focus on Stark, with Frieren and Fern picking out gifts and celebrating his birthday, and also seeing what happened in his part with regards to the village he was brought up in.
After seeing how well Stark has been fighting, its hard to believe that he wasn't always a natural at it, but it seems out of those in his family he was the weakest.

Fern clearly is into Stark some even though she seemingly looks down on him sometimes. She didnt want to hand him sleepy Frieren because she would be jealous of him princess carrying her.

Woh apparently Frieren can be energetic and act excited sometimes.

Ah so Stoltz was a good bro to Stark. I get the impression he is still alive.

Beautiful episode, as the rest of the series so far. It humanizes a lot of the characters and Madhouse's attention to detail really elevates the show for me.

@wb1995 it's not your cup of tea. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it's bad. I don't like steins gate and fma, does that make them bad, boring, and overrated garbage ? Certainly not.

For me, the writing of frieren is 10/10 up to the latest chapter of manga, and apparently many people think so.

Maybe you are too young to appreciate Frieren which is understandable since Frieren relies on nostalgia element so much.
