| Throw down for the birb. Great way to finish up the episode. Production value high overall for the fight sequences as always. Happy that the library elf doesn't appear to be evil in depiction. Keep it up. |

| As much as I like this arc cause it's got the most action, it has been a while huh and will still be cause there's still the 2nd stage and most probably a 3rd and final stage. Why the sudden change of pace? Of all the challenges they've been through in their journey they've always breezed through it. |

| I know it’s not the end of the arc yet technically but I figured I’d make a post since this was the end of the first test, it was pretty fun although also very different than the rest of the show up to this point, we’re not longer traveling but seeing more of a tournament arc that you’d see in a shounen anime, I’m not against this tho as I’ve really enjoyed it so far. This first test saw people working together that normally wouldn’t making for interesting teams, lots of different types of magic which we haven’t seen much of up this point which made for some cool battles, and lastly just lots of new characters in general which is a big change since we’ve mainly just been seeing Frieren and her party meeting a few people as they travel. And the circumstances of the test being that you just need to have the bird with your party completely alive meant that just because we saw some characters lose their battles didn’t mean they were out, I quite liked seeing Denken resort to a good old fashioned fist fight lol, and you also had Wirbel who despite being fooled, got lucky last second. It was also cool seeing Lawine and Kanne win their fight with Richter although it was incredibly predictable from the beginning, in the end it was two against one so once Kanne could actually fight too he was done, I did like his reaction to losing tho, he just accepted defeat lol. And lastly Frieren bursting the bubble they were fighting in was a great scene as well, this also gave us a tease at what this other elf babe is about, I’m not sure about her yet but I’m looking forward to learning more. And with that we move on to the next test, and poor Stark has been abandoned but he seems to be enjoying his time alone lol. |

 A totally missed opportunity for one of her teammates to call her a "pervert" for karma satisfaction. Hilarious brief ending showing Stark saying without Fern around to scold him, he's so happy it's scary. Pretty much highlights once again how toxic Fern x Stark is. |
| They have brought up the fact that it is raining outside of the barrier many times now, hopefully now we will learn why this has so much ding. Freeren met this other elf 1000 years ago. And she is still in the same place to this day. He didn’t say that. They go back in time and have him to say two extra words. The elf uses the measurement a lifetime to Another elf. Who knows how long that time period is in this context. Now, for some reason, everyone is valuing the concept of joy above things such as saving lives. This also means that she values joy above her main goal, which was to defeat the demon king. if she actually cared about killing the demon king above her own joy she would have asked for a spell to do so. Making her main goal actually her own joy. He decides to control the earth in front of them instead of the earth underneath them. I wonder where she’s going to get the water she needs from, such a massive mystery, it is not as if he might have brought them closer to the edge of the border where the rain is happening, gee I wonder if that might play part in this. He makes the assumption that the water magic user has not studied how water works. and he was correct. He claims that she is one to break the games She can’t win. This is not a scenario that applies to that as she has already won this game and is just showing off by doing this as she could simply go and defeat the other guy quickly. I guess she is allowing her teammates to have a learning opportunity. Freeren somehow is incapable of imagining a scenario where she could win against a mage that controls the rain. pervert strikes again. He decides to speak out loud and reveal that they both don’t have Mana to the enemy who does not know that. The mages resort to hand to hand combat. Every single character passes the test. Making it feel as though generally there is no consequence to any of the previous interactions. it looked nice though. 4 |

| Though the fight between Denken and Freren didnt last to long it was still nice to watch as the animation throughout fights it this show always amazes me. I thought Denken would have had more spells if he thought he could take on Frieren but i guess the ones he did use were quite impressive, the gap in power between Frieren and the large majority of characters is just that big. The fight with the two girls and Richter was nice and i liked the spells Richter was using though he is over confident in himself. Im glad Denken and his crew got a bird in the end. Fern revealing some of the spells shes has to Ubel and that land was interesting. Frieren breaking the barrier was a very nice scene to look at with all the amazing visulas and colors popping off. It was good it was raining so her team mates had a chance against Richter. |
 |
| As expected Frieren was way too strong for Denken. I wonder if he would've won against Lügner or Qual... I bet Aura would've been too much though. |
| Concluding episode for the first trial! Of course the more prominent parties would make it through! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Another amazing magic showdown. First of all, Frieren was just a boss when she ended her enemy with just basic spells, which just shows that Frieren is teaching Fern right when she says she only needs to use basic spells to defeat other magicians. Then, Kanne and Lawine face off a strong foe, but Frieren helps them a little by breaking the barrier, and letting Kanne use all of her strenght by controling such a mass of water. Funny that when I started wathcing the episode, I noticed that in the opening the text staff was drinking their tea in the rain, which made me wonder if they were breaking the barrier, and that's how they defeated the other party, and it seems that the opening really was foreshadowing that. Honestly, a darker part of the episode, was when Dendek found the other party with the bird, but that they had lost one of their teammates, which just shows how aggressive this test can be... I really enjoyed how they approached this part. The look between Fern and Frieren at the end was just priceless! Just shows their strong connection. Also, WE FINALLY GOT A BIT OF STARK. Right at the end, and honestly, it was so funny to see him act like a child that was left alone without their parents supervision, and just staying late and not having Fern to complain. Married Couple behaviour honestly. And the bartender just saying "It seems like you had it though" THAT WAS SO UNEXPECTEDLY FUNNY. And then they straight up cut to the ending xD Amazing episode, and the fight scenes were amazing! Sousou no Frieren is back to one of the best episodes again, and I was wondering if they were going to show Stark here and there, between tests, and it seems like that's what's going to be. Maybe next episode we still may get a bit of Fern, Frieren and Stark talking between themselves, since the next exam is only 3 days after (which was one of my doubts: were the 3 exams going to back to back, but no, they do get some rest time, which means Fern will soon be back to make Stark get to bed early again). Really excited to see how the rest of this arc will go! We are getting to know a lot more characters, and Kanne and Lewine were actually quite interesting after their first appearance at episode 18. |
| The mage battle is okay, but it's between a bunch of characters we barely know. Although that describes pretty much this whole anime. I don't understand why they set up this battle that it could be lethal, and then had every fight become non-lethal. It started out with high stakes, then removed its own stakes. There was no real reason to spare the lives of the competitors, none of them are characters we are likely to see again. Not that I wanted to see a bloodbath, senseless violence would have seemed even more out of place for this show but it can't seem to make up its mind what it wants to be. The ending of the tournament made absolutely no sense. The entire contest required no skill, as they said in the last episode, finding those birds was a matter of luck. WHY THE FUCK would a contest to decide the strongest mages only depend on luck? That's like saying the guy who wins the most slots at the casino becomes the highest rank Marine! Oh this thing about "only First Class mages can enter the northern land" If they ever get there- what are the odds that it's just a completely generic fantasy town full of ordinary generic people and not first class mages? WHAT ARE THE ODDS |
