| Great episode. First we see Fern say Flamme's writings are fake, then we learn she was her Master lmao. Surely she would've known where she kept her writings since the flashback showed they were there together? Anyway, at least now the travelling duo have a purpose with their time! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Flamme seems a really interesting char. I hope we will learn and see more from her in the future! |
 |
| Another great episode! So we finally see that the orange-haired woman from the opening is actually Frieren's teacher Flamme! I wasn't expecting that revelation! Also, Eisen appears once again, and he's actually still alive, and isn't dying any time soon! It makes sense since he's a dwarf after all. I like how Flamme, Heiter and Eisen all knew that Frieren was going to regret not trying to get to know humans more, and in a way the 3 of them all planned this so that Frieren could speak to Himmel once again. I was shocked to know it was going to be a 10 year journey though! That means Fern will be a full grown woman by the time the journey ends! But it was nice to see Frieren smile when she thought about the journey to come, because it does seem like she's going to revisit the old journey she did, while she will also be able to change what she regrets about the last journey she did. I'm really excited for this new journey, and I suppose this is going to be the main focus of the story from now on! Really curious to see Frieren and Fern's relationship from now on. It was nice to see Eisen reassuring Fern that Frieren was a good master. Also, are we getting to know the boy that I suppose is also joining the party, due to the opening, in the next episode? It seems like I heard a new voice actor with the line of something about warriors, and he seems to be one, so I'm interested to see that! I genuinely feel like we are algo doing this journey with Fern and Frieren, and that's such a good feeling honestly! |
| That was unbelievably BORING I'm beginning to regret watching this in sub. There's tons of dialogue, and nothing interesting happened at all. It's trying to get sentimental and get me to care about stereotype characters that had barely any unique appeal to start with. |
| 1) that sure was annoying , give me back my 4 episodes worth of time . 2) this belongs somewhere around top 1000 - 10,000 and i.e me being generous . aside from the animation , nothing here is worth watching . 3) would have been watchable if they started with the route of killing the demon king & gave final 1-2 episodes to her conclusion which is now the whole anime . 4) i usually drop series with 24 or more episodes at 6 , sometimes at 5 but in cases like this 4 is more than enough .  Sayonara Sousou! |
| I can't understand how it took so long to clean the beach. I don't know magic but I think I could clean it faster. And if they can fly, why's it take 10 years to go to the north end of the continent? Even Eisen can run on water at like 100 km/hr. |
| Lie down - Try not to cry - Cry a lot This episode hit surprisingly hard. Her meeting her last living companion. Showing emotions yet at the same time being so - ruthless? - in her statements. Maybe the fact her student has to give 10 years away, so she can speak to Himmel? I don't know but I really need to digest this one properly. |
 |
| Frieren keeps moving forward with Fern, after witnessing a sunset and helping a small town with some shipwreck troubles. They also meet up with the dwarf guy and now have a new objective: to talk to Himmel |
 |
| This show is boring so far, I don't get the rating. I hope it gets better. I guess this was written for a female audience or something. |
| Wouldn't all the legendary mages be elves since elves have centuries to accrue an immense amount of knowledge and skill to master not just a few but hundreds of spells? The huge difference in lifespans would mean that elves would be better than humans at practically everything. |

pretty cookie-cutter generic fantasy so far. whats the hype about? does the whole cast die brutally? we've seen this formula thousands of times by now
| @dior JJK fan btw.. |
 |
| The scene towards the end of the episode where Frieren talks with her group saying how their 10 year adventure wasn't even one one-hundreadth of her life leaves a sour taste, she don't want to be rude but she came off as really apathetic towards her group. Also, Flamme was Frieren's teacher huh? |
| Largly uneventful episode but thats alright because we got to see some PIRATES! yay i love pirates. Even if it is a dead pirate captain that's still cool to me because pirates are flipping awesome. Fern is now like mother figure to her it seems because Frieren is very lazy by the seems of it but lowkey real for her being lazy is awesome and it was kind of wholesome if you ask me. We got some flashbacks aswell and now im wondering how old frieren actually is? Is she 100? 1000? 10000? I am not sure. Anyway now Fern and Frieren are on a journey for another 10 years, Interesting show and i wonder how its going to blow me away and live up to being the number one anime on MAL. |
| This was a pretty decent episode overall. I lie the way they've slowly been picking up on Frieren's understanding of appreciating the small details in life as well, even if they're just a smidge in her vastly long life. Her humanization ironically enough is growing over time in a human way lol. I enjoyed the short second wind adventure Frieren did with Eisen & I hope that the journey doesn't take 10 years again. May her former master's wisdom guide her & her party! On to the next episode! |
 |
| another beautiful episode that feels as if it was thematically intended to speak to me directly. I loved the gravestone conversation about heaven. If I believe in heaven, it's because heaven is worth believing in. When Eisen started praying, too, it really spoke to me. |

| That fantastic big tree! |
| On slowly decaying World's way... [বিলয়ের পথে...] |
| What a lazy way to motivate the characters changes in belief. "The dwarves honor their traditions", which includes the belief that people turn to dust after death, then it cuts to Heiter simply saying that "it doesn’t matter if paradise exists" and that "it must exist because it would be better that way". Then Eisen shows up contradicting his tradition in the very next panel lmao. Is this seriously the approach the story is going to take? Is there really going to be no dialectical approach? Are changes going to be motivated solely by shared experiences (with Frieren herself already influenced by that)? Tradition is only truly honored when one understands the reasons for believing in it and for maintaining it; otherwise, it's just irrationalized habit. The author doesn’t even explore the reasons for believing in things - he simply adopts a convenient change: "it's important to believe this way because it would be better for my plot." |
| Frieren still seems so childish despite living for so many centuries... |

| @dior Probably comes from it being a relaxing slice of life but that still has some semblance of a story behind it, like Kobayashi no Maidoragon. Not really my style, but it's just something to put on to relax. |
