| Oh boy, it was exciting when the green-haired girl said in the beginning that they'll have to fight other group members. It was sadly not in this episode until near the end where the action sparkled. I'm just so digged in to see the beautiful fluid magic attacks paired with the strong and mysterious soundtrack that fits every scene so perfectly. Story wise, it is suprising that Fern and Frieren are always taken as mages that aren't powerful because they don't use nowadays magic like the rest. Next episode is gonne be fire. |

| What else can I say? I enjoyed each Frieren's episode! Even in manga. I love the tactics that Friren and her team made, and those wise ones catch up in no time. Ahhh, I want more episodes! |

| This was a great episode. I was a bit underwhelmed and pessimistic after last week's episode, which lacked a lot of what makes Frieren so good for me. But I really liked this episode, it reminds me of the episodes in the Aura arc right before the big fights happened. The build up is so meticulous and well thought out. It's also great to get reminders of how powerful Frieren and Fern are as mages, and it is also great to see Frieden's team members no longer bickering with each other, and rather, actually working together like they need to be. Though I loved Frieren reverting right back to her :3 expression as soon as they started going at it again lol Fun episode overall. Looking forward to the payoff (hopefully) to all this buildup next week! |
| Love love love the facial expressions from everyone this episode |
 |
| So I binched through all the episodes not knowing this show was still ongoing. The end of this episode made me want to watch more but now I gotta wait a full week. AAAA I am highly concidering reading the manga untill the next episode airs.. Anyway it's nice that with this exam thing we get to see how the world works with magic and monsters and everything. It didn't really get into this sort of stuff in the earlier episodes so it's fun seeing it being explained a bit more. I also really love the newer characters who are introduced. I really like Linie(RIP), Übel, Kanne and Lawine. I can't wait to see the next episode. :) |

| Sousou no Frieren making Jujutsu Kaisen cosplay wow That's impressive let's see the outcome of this battle. |
 |
| Was hoping we would get to see Fern's perspective of the test, so glad that we did, even if its wasn't to show how they caught the bird. The plan that Frieren, Kanne and Lowine came up with seems to have worked in terms of getting the bird, but looks as though a brawl is about to begin. With all these different battles going on we're really getting to see what exactly other mages are capable of in terms of their magic output. |
 |
| Clever plan Freiren and company came up with, now they just have to deal with Denken and his group. While on the other side of things, Fern and her group are getting jumped by Wirbel and his group. Should be a good episode this week. |
 |
| another impressive build-up tense episode! so this is the so call "each on their own respective fights!" there are those do who not act fast and analytic types! and those who have different tactics! but oh man! Übel is already gonna duke it with the Slayer Frieren! this is so exciting!!! 5/5. |

| Capturing the Stille is no easy task, and Frieren is reminded of the first time when the Hero Party are about to face their own battle. On the other end, Fern's 4th party group of herself Land and Ubel has managed to capture one, while Lawine, Kanne and Frieren discuss on how to capture it using the same folk binding magic. The problem is the striking distance of 50cm, which they need to overcome since it is very sensitive to mana. And Frieren has a plan to capture it, though it risks them fighting against another mages. And on the verge of survival, most test-takers need water, which they'll all converge there, which if one group has the Stille, that puts them on target, as such with the 8th party Scharf, Ehre and Wirhel. What Lawine and Kanne were thinking to freeze the big lake, it puts everyone on notice as the Stille would not fly near it. This is the only indication that Frieren's 2nd party truly has a well-laid plan, on top of the Giesel birds protecting the skies above and landing anyone dead if they try to surface in the air. For the 13th group of Denken, Laufen and Richter, Denken surmised that the Continental Magic Association only hinge on their old ways, as the party conceals their mana with both Lawine and Kanne scouting while Frieren slowly makes her move to isolate the Stille to where she wants it to be by suppressing her mana, which is where Denken's group will follow from behind. And the long wait for one Stille despite the monsters arriving, Frieren manages to capture it, and Denken's group makes the most advantage of it. And Fern learning Frieren's magic, it may be old, but it's just as powerful, if not more than what the current standard of mages are. Battle sequences on, for a race for the Stille. |

| Cool episode, a mixed of action and strategy!!! kekeke |
| Apparently people have talked about this already but would a sane government pit their best military assets against themselves just to give out... certifications, especially when there are only hundreds of mages in the entire country? Feels like a bad excuse to include a 'hype magic battle arc' to be honest But then again hype magic battles are hype, so I'm in for it. |

| this exam arc is becoming really interesting!!! |
| sofia and andrew reaction: WHYYYYYY I JUST WANNA SEE HER FIGHT I DONT WANNA WAIT ANOTHER WEEL |
 |
| Can't wait until Frieren and Fern show them just exactly what Frieren's 1,000 years of experience has brought them! |
 |
| Personally I would have tried to gather up some food for the Stille but blocking off water sources was a good idea. |
| Fern's situation is interesting while Frieren managed to catch the bird as well, but it's definitely hardcore when you can even die during the exam. |
 |
| It's amazing how well made this is. Nothing has changed from the source material. And I love it. |
| She looks so peaceful waiting for the Stille |
| THIS EXAM ARC IS SO COOL, WHAT THE FUCK, FRIEREN TURNED OUT TO BE A BETTER SHONEN THAN MOST LOL |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| Things are starting to get rough now. Can Frieren hold onto that bird? |
 |
| So, the highlight of this episode was essentially something along the lines of: 'Beware of old mages in a world where the best mages die young.' Denken's perspective on magecraft was quite interesting, and I think he would probably be like Frieren if he were born an elf. She got tired of keeping up to date with mage standards, after all, which aligns with Denken's point. Anyway, I should really go to bed, but these episodes are getting more and more addicting! And Frieren is doing such a great job mentoring and leading those two young mages. She is really good at revealing the potential of others and making use of their strengths. In fact, Fern, her pupil, is also showing some great character during her fight against Ehre. I wish I had her ability to stay calm and respond so assertively to threats! I could almost hear her saying, 'Sounds like a skill issue,' when Ehre told her she couldn't hope to win by using such old magic spells! Yup... I can see myself being a zombie tomorrow, but I just have to watch more of this awesome anime! |

| The mage combat felt a little anticlimactic this episode Like with Ubel vs Wirbel, it felt as though they were trying to show off some dynamic action but it ended up falling a little flat in execution Then with the fight between Fern and Ehre, it only really brought up more questions regarding the relatively loose magic system. Like what's the draw or benefit of commanding rocks to throw at your opponent instead of lasers? Why are the lasers and barriers Fern used considered basic in comparison to rock-magic? If anything, elemental magic seems more restrictive in the event that you're in an area without a source of the respective element |
| This is it the action part always be the most critical point for Sousou no Frieren, and its surely keep up the good works and interesting to see. Not gonna nitpick shit like some of the poster said above me. But i like this episode, especially with the ost along it. That's it all. Let's see how much Frieren willing to kill for necessity. |
