Hits hard through subtlety, loved it. The tough decision Sein had to make to choose his own path once again was shown and his full consideration of the sacrifice he was making from parting ways from his companions was shown by his simple goodbye. The path that Fern's refusal to allow Frieren to hold her hand sent her down a journey of nostalgia and growing understanding of her relationship with Fern as Fern herself faces the awkward teenage years.

The wisdom and quiet emotions that come with each episode continue to shine.

New opening and ending in this second part. I liked that the ending is almost the same as the first one.

So Sein sadly left the part... I hope they meet each other in future.

Sousou no Frieren 2nd opening visuals and song so beautifully amazing ❤️❤️🔥🔥
Yorushika is amazing obviously. ❤️

So these are the upcoming events and characters. I always loved the idea putting it in the opening. Very creative like 1st opening and it makes me look forward. The 2nd ED visuals is just nice and a part 2 of milet's Anytime Anywhere.

I don't want to say this again & again. But the animation you see in the opening is the same to the whole anime since episode 1.
Well it's a seasonal TV show. And the amazing Studio MADHOUSE and staffs.
These are not opinion and gaslighting. It is a fact.

Though this will be my personal opinion and I'll say this again and again and again. The story & characters are amazing as always since episode 1 until now. Why would it be popular and well liked if it's not.

It's been 3 months and still rank 1 in myanimelist.

It was a short journey (actually it's long too) Bro Sein-san part ways with the group.
Hope you'll find Gorilla-kun

Always loved Stark-kun moments hahaha

So we will be going to the city of magic, Äußerst!

So hyped!

First-Class Mage Exam arc starts next week!!!!!
Oppai check!

Great episode. Sein speaks for all of us. I hope he returns, though at least he mediated between Fern and Stark one last time before he left lol.

I did like the second one a lot too. Everyone really does deserve emotional support, regardless of age.

Interestingly, not a lot of use of flashbacks in this episode - I know a lot of people complained about them but I love them and they add to the show’s appeal for me so I hope they continue to remain a thing going forward.

On the whole, great episode. I’m so glad Frieren is back. It was just one off week and it felt like an eternity to me.

As the priest said, for the love of God just start dating already. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife.

Fern and Stark are too effing cute and the symbolism in the outro is so nice. I loved how the grave and her old companions changed to Fern and her new ones, perfectly illustrated Frieren's growth as a person in her strange, near-immortal worldview. Also really glad they kept the old song, I love it so much.

@ricky78

You're extremely off. If you're on the official twitter page, it is a Japanese post. Don't use translate for the entire post because it is always not precise. If you're a Nihongo Jouzu, you should be able to understand that the kanji numeric katakana clearly stated "dai ni kuuru" aka "2nd cour". If you don't know Japanese, at least translate individual text/phrase and put them together.

It's clear that Fern wants something more from Stark with all those pout faces first the birthday present now the cold hand, in my opinion she got angry not so much because she was scared but because that's not the way she would like to be touched by Stark, she was touched in a playful and not very polite way while she would like to be caressed and cuddled lovingly but at the same time she realizes that she also acted in the same way by touching him first with her cold hand in a playful way (kinda double standards), perhaps she is also frustrated with herself because she is unable to consistently demonstrate her affection for him. On the other side there is a Stark who doesn't make any move because the few approaches he has tried have all gone wrong or rejected.

Hot take: New OP doesn't really fit the vibe of a show like frieren (excluding the lyrics)

BUT... It's soo much better than the 1st OP (no offense Yoasobi). It's soo chill and catchy, that it will 1000% be on my Spotify playlist (I rarely put anime openings on my playlist).

I just realized people are complaining abt this OP and saying the first one was better. No comment for me but... Didn't people complain abt the first OP when frieren came out??? 🤣

Guess the cycle continues...

Maybe like the first op, people will start to grow on this second one.

The second cour of Frieren is now underway and the new OP song is a pretty good jam. I still prefer Yoasobi's OP song, but this one is very good. Plus, the animation looked excellent.

As for the episode in question, that was also really good. Sein speaks for most of us fans when he proclaims loudly that Fern and Stark should start dating already shortly after acting as a mediator to sort out the pair's issues yet again. Still, after talking with Frieren at the pub, he finally decides to go alone in search of his friend. He wasn't with the group for long, but I will miss him. Hopefully we'll see him again soon.

Considering how long Frieren's group have been in the cold terrain of the north, it wasn't going to be long before someone would fall sick. Stark had his issues a while back and now it's Fern's turn to fall sick. She might be very stubborn, but I do admire Frieren holding Fern's hand for emotional support, even though Fern isn't the kind of person that likes to be babied around like this. The flashback to when Frieren was looked after by Himmel when she fell sick only reaffirms her resolve in helping Fern make a full recovery.

The ED song does remain the same, but not only does it play a different verse, the visuals are also completely different, which looks to be clay-mation or something similar to it. Either way, it looks amazing while the different verse of Milet's song hits hard as usual. =)

As usual, Himmel proves that he is the best hero by taking my breath away every time he speaks. How does he do it?

"Children aren't the only ones who need emotional support."

I swear, when he said that, I had to hold back a tear. ❤️

"Let me be the reason you started this journey"

Oh gosh... that's when the tear just dropped. This show is so wholesome ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly, it's not like Himmel is perfect or anything. But he has so much charisma that narcissism comes as a side effect. 🤭

The first story that taught me how tough it must be for an elf to be in love with a human was The Lord of the Rings... but I was either too young to fully understand the implications, or the message is just better delivered in Frieren. Either way, I felt my eyes heavy all throughout the episode, and not in a bad way!

The new OP is good, though I preferred the first one, but maybe it'll grow on me in time.

I wish Sein could stick with the party; he really became such a great addition to the group, but I hope his own path goes well for him. And my wish of seeing Stark and Fern becoming an actual couple just gets stronger with each episode! ❤️🥰

That was stupid of Sein to leave to search there now (it was 10 years...), but at least original for the story.

episode was boring more than previous ones

they could at least tell what spell Frieren got from that mage shop

the ED is strange.. like Frieren dying or being a ghost

"date already!"
(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 ;)

The ironic of "date already!" is that their densiness is fault of the same author of the series who is making side characters to be annoyed with their densiness.

And since we know tons of japanese authors and anime/manga, it means the ship is nowhere near to sail. :(

Btw, for some reason in that medieval world Fern will only be officialy an adult with 20 years (31 years after himmel's death).

I guess the author is waiting this for some actual advance.

The episode was lighthearted and emotional to watch. It really wrapped up the Sein arc well as well as enriched the relationships between the party as a whole. Now all we have now is to continue on to the First Class Mage Exam arc!

I don't even know where to start in this review. First of all, they Have come back from their break (A thing that MAPPA doesn't even know what that is) with a new banger of an opening by Haru. Even though i really loved the first opening sung by YOASOBI, I think it was essential for them to come with another opening as the first one was dated and covered everything it spoiled.

Lets start with the second point, In this episode the next gen drunk priest had parted ways from the party as he found out that his friend, Gorilla had gone next to Tur, A village far east from Aubert (idk how to write or pronounce it). Just as they were about to leave for their travels, they were struck with a blizzard stoping them from going any further. Once again, the party was forced to wait out the winter which gave Sien some thought about leaving. He finally decided to live without regrets and began to chase after his long lost friend. The party had stopped at a cave for a nights' rest. When stark woke up, he saw that both Fern and Frieren were still asleep. It did'nt realy bother him much so he gathered ingredients for Breakfast. As soon as he made breakfast, He began to wake the two up finding out that Fern had caught a cold. Luckily, they had found a cabin with a nice old lady to get Fern some rest. Once they put her in bed, The began going to a special icicle tree to get medicinal herbs. It was a long journey and along the way, fern realized that emotional support isnt only for children. They were now reaching the City of magic.

This episode reminded me how good Sousou no Frieren actually is since i had forgot because of the 1 week break. The next episode is said to be another arc and i can't wait since i needed once since the last arc.

I swear this series will rip my heart and break it into pieces. It’s just sad undertones from time to time here and they’re already threatening to force open the tear glands.

And man, Yorushika delivers! Like, seriously, when haven’t they, to be honest. Suis’s voice is seriously way too good, and I love how there’s always a part of the song where N-buna just goes, “Kill ‘em with your voice!” We need more appearance from them in the medium.

Sad Sein is gone already. Was hoping he would stick around but it's hard to imagine him skipping out on a lead to his friend. At least we know Sein is a FernxStark shipper lmao. The new ending is an interesting mix of verse two + some bridge and outro sections of the full song. Not sure if it flows quite as well as the first mix but I still like it. The visuals are great.

They handled Sein's departure well and yet again made another stop at a small town area, where they handle Fern's sickness. So far I haven't minded any of the stops they make as they all seem original and not boring and repetitive. My favorite part was Sein asking when Fern and Stark will date each other. We are all wondering that because of the sweet moments they've had together. Overall a nice episode.
