Anyone know the name of that OST they played during the flashback with Himmel? They keep using it during flashbacks and it’s my favorite I’ve heard in the show. Not sure if it’s out yet tho tbh

Great to have this show back every Friday. I've missed their interactions which always manages to bring a smile on my face. It was rather a slow episode, but Sein did leave to find his Gorilla friend. But, it seems like next arc is going to be very interesting and something to do with school/magic exam as we've seen from the teaser. I'm all in for it.

The way the music elevates scenes in this show is impeccable; Sein following his own path and thinking back on his time with Frieren, Fern and Stark was beautiful to see!

Cinema 🚬.

I love the new opening, YorushikaGOD doing a great song as always xd.

It's a shame that Sein took his own path, I loved the interaction and what he contributed to the group, f.

Please canonize FernxStark for god's sake, xddddd.

Hey, the giant tortoise Stark fed is the same one Fern and Frieren met in Episode 2! (Or it's just a cousin that lives up north)


Gonna be lonlier without Goatee Priest around, but a ton of Fern and Stark shipping material is the best parting gift you could ask for (other than a guide to medicinal herbs I guess)

omg that’s so cute!! This is why Frieren is the best, the attention to detail is on another level.

Majo (Sousou) no Frieren is back

OP is decent but nothing beats the 1st banger OP

The ED so good they have to reuse it, I mean the 1st OP was good too wish they reused it that as well

So long Sein, He fits right in and after he leaves it doesn't feel the same I doubted his chemistry with them but I was wrong, take care.

The first part was unexpected, but the second part felt like a filler somehow? I mean waiting two weeks for an episode that Fern gets sick? The author was kinda lame with that idea. I'm disappointed considering how good the series has been so far.

Just as we thought Sein was gonna travel with the crew longer he decided to part ways. He really was the mature one of the bunch serving as mediator and even speaking his mind about Stark and Fern "platonic" relationship. Later we were able to see once more just how much Frieren cares for Fern and how in her eyes she's still a child considering how she percieves time. Tbf many parents do as well with their children so it was quite a reminiscent moment.

I didnt think Sein was going to depart that some middle ground would be found to have it both ways but I guessed wrong. Hopefully they can meet up with him again in a few episodes.

The way all the characters act is pretty realistic. Fern not actually overreacting to a cold hand prank but feeling scared by Stark firmly held her feeling vulnerable and caught off guard also probably a bit embarrassed too.

Would be nice to be able to be comforted by someone close like Fern and Frieren got.

So much service for the fans here. And of the wholesome kind too.

@Suppleclub I don't know if you're the only one, but it's certainly not something that I hear a lot around these parts. I don't feel that way at all. The slow burn style of story telling makes it actually feel the opposite in many ways.

This episode depict simplicity over complexity. A lot of common things happened between them, and in solving those simple things there are many complex things involved.

I like the new ED, which is the second section of the first ED. It's like answer-and-call happened between two different being.

Goodbye Sein you weren't my favorite but you've served your purpose as a voice of reason. I don't know Sein kinda felt like the straight man of the group, but that's also Fern's job. He didn't feel too distinct from the others either, wise like Frieren and sensible like Stark.

We will probably see him later at some point, as the trailer for the second cour showed.

Love the line "its not just children that need emotional support. " Himmel was spitting nothing but straight facts to Frieren when she was sick. She was paying in kind to Fern on how she felt about her. Like yeah I still see you as a child in some regards but your an adult too. I'm always going to be in your corner.

I love how Frieren was being a grandma and motherly in this episode. Really showed a sweet side of her that we often forget about. Her spells to remove stains and clean was funny as hell. She is more than just a powerhouse.

Looks like were finally going to school next episode. It feels like forever but different situations kept throwing themselves in our hero's faces. It's not like they can ignore a sickness, village trouble, snowstorms, or recruiting another party member. Just happy were finally at our first real checkpoint.

A nice relaxing rejoining Frieren party. Continuing to travel through the northern lands, during winter that is very tough so staying put for a while is necessary. Usually it's the case that Frieren wants to stay for self indulgence but this time its warranted. It is remarkable that despite being stuck in a town where they only know each other really the four of them spend time mostly apart. Sein really reflecting about what he wants to do with his life. All the time he's spent with Frieren, Fern and Stark mixed with wanting to reunite with his childhood friend make for an interesting internal conflict. Ultimately deciding to leave Frieren party and go look for his friend, going a much quieter path as it is when one travels alone. I'm glad for the time we've spent with Sein, he was A good member of the party with his witty humor and priestly demeanor. We got a lot of great scenes with him over these last couple episodes. He did a great job championing Fern x Stark, which one again was A great focus of this episode. Putting her cold hands on someone's face is very cute, Fern being stubborn and being mad at Stark was funny. Taking care of her when she got sick was great, Frieren comforting Fern as she lay. Another example of flashbacks used well and pertaining to current events in this show. With the great words of wisdom from Himmel that children aren't the only ones who need emotional support. Fern resting up well at that nice lady's house as Frieren and Stark gathered her medicine. One last reprieve before getting to the next major arc of the story in the city of magic!

we're back and a great episode based mostly around fern makes me glad because she stays being the best character. sein is a real one for helping stark and her makeup, real dad vibes and the duo are cute even when they're having a quarrel. nice of frieren to try and comfort fern during her sickness as well, despite what people say about her insensitivity.

Man, I sure missed this show this last couple of weeks.

Lovely episode as usual. It was sad to see Sein go but I have hopes we can see him again relatively soon... and not after 30 years because we know Frieren takes ages to reunite with old party members.

And on a side note, it seems Stark is gonna get super sidelined from now on. Understandable given the next arc is apparently gonna be about Frieren and Fern getting their magic licenses but still a shame nevertheless.

Nah, I'll be honest, I'm getting bored with this anime, not much is happening here, this anime got pretty good with the demon arc and I started to like it there, but as soon as that arc was over this anime started to get boring again, we are in episode 17 and by this point, I need to be captivated by this anime, I'm not captivated in the slightest with the last few episodes and when an anime starts to bore me then we have a problem, I'm simply not a fan of the genre Slice of Life and this anime is mostly Slice of Life so meh, at least the demon arc was good, that arc has Drama, Mystery, Thriller, etc... those are the genres that I like but Slice of Life? nah, this genre sucks, I really hope this anime gets back on track.

Anyway, I will remove a point from this anime since I'm getting bored and my new rating will be:

I like the new OP. I loved the first one but I think this one will grow on me, too. I like that the ED is the same song but a different section of it. The artwork in both the OP and ED are a notch above last time. Especially the ED; it looks like a sort of mixed media with a painted background (looks great even if it’s all digital). Frieren’s depiction in the ED looks like it might be claymation? I’d love a behind the scenes on this ED.

As for the episode itself, it definitely felt like more shipping fuel for FernxStark. But watching Sein reflect on everything after talking with Frieren about the present and now and still decide to go his own way definitely caught me off guard. I’m guessing we’ll see him again.

Sein really gets me.

Unfortunate Sein had to now take his own path to his objectives but things need to move forward for anyone.

I can't believe I forgot how long until Fern and Stark really became an item. Like in the manga it felt like it was just a snap. Anyway, Frieren is now going to go through the licensure exam, she needs to renew her almost centuries old license after all.
