The battle is top notch and i can relate with some tcg games when the girl mentioning about basic spell can beat most mages in this era, sometimes the old way always the best lol

I hope that since they used Kraft to introduce that mage, Ubel, she'll prove to have an impact.
With them finally arriving at the city of magic, it looks like Frieren and Fern will be taking this first test in different teams.
I was beginning to feel a little sorry for Frieren being put in that team, since both Kanne and Lawine wouldn't stop arguing, but looks like it seems to be working out.
Also, suspected that Frieren wouldn't exactly be undefeated, but it was interesting for her to give an exact amount of times she had lost (11) and whilst not specific but who to as well.

I'm surprised Frieren still remembers her birthday even after a thousand years.

"Only able to see half the sky" was such a good one though.

Finally, Frieren and the gang is in the city of magic to take first class mage exam, Fern and Frieren is trying hard for their exam, Frieren's team is with the tsundere bff that seem to hate each other but they seem to have great coordination. It long time to see the fight in this anime so it feel refreshing. What about Fern that teamed with the dangerous mage

The two mages that Frieren has been paired with are interesting, and hopefully they'll somehow learn to get along better. Frieren should be a positive influence on them.

Übel, Thet green-haired mage that Fern is paired with could be trouble. She seems kinda evil. Kraft could sense it.

BRO, SHONEN EXAM ARC? COOL
Kanne is cute <3
Because of her looks, I was expecting Lawine to be more delicated lol she's fun.
Ubel looks interesting, and our boi Kraft is just so fkng cool.

I have only one gripe with this story, Frieren is a known member of the hero's party, and also an elf magician, I get some people not knowing her, but why does these new characters that are taking the examns, and their examinators, have no idea of who she is? Isn't she an important figure in the magic world that should be interesting enought for mages to study and learn about her? There are a lot of statues of her and being an elf makes her looks the same as she was back then...I find this kinda weird.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Oof... I've been so busy with other stuff that I've now got a few episodes to catch up on, but I thoroughly enjoyed coming back to Frieren! It was really nice to see Kraft reappearing and to see him in action, too! Those monks' moves were great! And I agree with him about Ubel. She really does give off killer vibes... I really don't like her, and I'm worried about Fern being put in her same party. And what of Frieren? She was freed from babysitting her companions only to be put to... babysit another couple of kids, haha. But Kanne reminiscing about her past with Lawine after being rescued from the monster was both funny and precious, and it made me appreciate their characters much more. :3 Now, I'm looking forward to seeing how they're going to capture that birb!

I like how Stark just chillin on the background, because this is truly not his arc at all, why not taking a break for the rest of the episode? That's it, Stark situation xd.

Even after all the talks, Fern still entering the exam, huh? But joining with that problematic greenhaired young mage, tho, i hope Fern is doin okay.

Alright, back to Frieren, and looks like she needs to babysit over those two young mage, understandable expression coming from her.
Stille bird escape like a homming missile bird. So damn fast. Wonder what kind of plan they can do with that?

Lawine is kawaii.

I think as always, Frieren is holding back. She can easily card the bird herself, but she is leaving the catching to the two bickering friends (potentially yuri couple in an alternate universe).

Despite some viewers not liking this arc, I actually love it.

Do I sense a tournament arc?! Good. This shounen will benefit from it.

New characters look interesting. I like their designs, especially Übel's. 😏 Aura is gone, but at least a character like Übel has appeared.

Too bad her name fits the general pattern and is basically a German word for... "bad". I have nothing against German language, but like, seriously, imagine a different show doing such thing and calling characters like this, just in, let's say, English. I can imagine a fairly big crowd raging over it, kekw. But perhaps it wouldn't be that bad. It's not a big deal either. It's just, when you're familiar, even a little, with German language, you may feel awkward when you hear their names as they are.

Ahaha, oh no Stark,m Frieren still remembers that you called her an old hag from over a year or two ago. Frieren is adorable when she pouts, this is the first time she expresses such a massively uncharacteristic expression lol. And the fun doesn't stop there, Fern has grown into such a fine woman now, she has the ability to cover half the sky with just her 'presence' alone!

Anyways... The time has come for yet another shift in pacing. Since the incident with Aura, Frieren's part has been on the move, journeying for over a year just to get to here, this magic city of Äußerst, all for the sole reason of getting that first-class mage certification and have the freedom to travel all around the Northern plateau. We'll finally be seeing a bunch of newer characters and I bet some interesting actions. This exam thing kinda reminds me of the usual tournament arc in shonens, this'lll be fun.

Übel's character design really stuck with me. Man she's hot, she doesn't really look like a mage, especially with how light she is wearing, and given the fact that she is also a killer, it's safe to say she's the type that could use magic but doesn't mind getting her hand bloodied. Literally.
Her droopy eyes though. Ooof attractive af.

The First Class exam is finally here, how exciting!

I like that the whole thing has a HxH vibe, what with the ruthless candidates and outdoor, forest-y shenanigans. I'm rooting for Fern to get her certification (I don't doubt Frieren, obvi) and not get taken advantage of by the green-haired killer.

If this is a beginning of a new arc as everybody is saying, it could be a refreshing reprieve from what has been somewhat stagnation in the characters. It seems like lately the trio of MCs haven't been having very meaningful development nor interactions compared to before. Let me explain, ever since around Fern x Stark, character interactions have been very immature, and lacking substance...aside from people thinking the superficial ship of Fern x Stark as something great. Hold on shippers, don't pull out the pitchforks yet, hear me out. Fern x Stark lately has been immature, they just had an argument over Stark holding Fern's shoulder too firmly when he pranked her back. Compare that squabble with their interactions back during the Aura/Lugner/Linie arc, it's kind of undeniable their interactions back then was way more grown up, and meaningful. I'm really biased against the Fern x Stark because of how poorly she's always treated him, her treatment being detrimental to his growth (self worth and confidence), and it seems like their romance is based on very little other than familiarity and proximity; but all that was still the same during the Aura arc, yet it was much much better character-wise than now. Even many of the interactions with Frieren, and her flashbacks to Himmel's party are weaker now than they used to be. Things were stronger before the Aura arc ended, and it's gotten weaker since. There doesn't seem to be meaningful interactions between Stark and Fern now, because "aw...they're shipping", however when Stark went with Frieren to get the herbs to cure Fern's sickness, we did have a grown up meaningful discussion between the two. Not as good as before like back when Stark took down the Solar Dragon where they first met, but leagues better than that stupid kids fight between Fern and Stark.

So anyways, this new arc, while it looks to be super regrettable that Stark is sidelined, it looks like we're going to get things shaken up with Frieren and Fern's characters. This episode thrusted Frieren into the leadership role since Stark and Fern weren't there, and she has to deal with those two bickering mages. It's going to be interesting to watch her in this role. Meanwhile, Fern is all alone in her group as well, how is she going to cope? She can't use Stark as a punching bag anymore, and Stark's not there to be the meat shield target of whatever the anime throws at the party. Meaning she can't be the underdeveloped character she's been coasting as ever since Stark joined the party. If she needs to take her anger out on somebody now, that victim may very well fight back. When the anime/plot throws difficulties at her group now, she very well may get hit with it (before it was always Stark). In other words, Fern may very well be forced to have some character development, and face challenges and hardships. She's no longer protected, and may face consequences for being an immature spoiled curmudgeon. As a Stark fan, I more than welcome this despite Stark may be sidelined. However I'm sure Stark would say "If I'm not there, I can't be the target of her ire". I'm just going to imagine Stark is in the Magic Academy's cafeteria eating oversized berry ice cream desserts for the duration he's not around.

I kind of wanted to comment on ep17, and how beautiful it was for both parts, but then ended up seeing up this, and Ubel stole the show for me.

Now I did not check her popularity first, but just a few scenes from her, and seeing that SEXY design and disturbing but sexy gaze had me completely surrender, so I did a few searches and I'm glad to see she is that popular, got me some JUICY material. :3

That are very few characters that managed to get me in the mood for it, but Ubel's whole demeanor, looking to you like you are a piece of trash, and that attire, SOLD, I feel most people have that M switch, even when they are mostly S, and Ubel flips it soo damm HARD, I just become a mindless monkey waiting to get some Ubel's love.

I absolutely DONT engage in waifu talking as I feel it is too degenerated and delusional, but if I did, she would be my waifu for this show right now.
Fern and Frieren are great, but I m not lewding them that much, mind you Fern x Stark doujins, great stuff, but Ubel is on another level.

To comment on the second part of this episode, it is fun to see those girls bickering and I would be amused with Frieren's grins at them, but they should just go and get married already!
Good to see some Yuri vibes here too, they are just too cute together, that flashback scene codified that for me.

An exam arc. The first class mage exam. Theres plenty of new faces with some being said to be quite powerful and with a supposed combat part to this plan i wonder if its gonna end up being a versus battle type thing.

This Ubel girl is interesting to say the least. It was nice to see Kraft make his return but he encountered Ubel a mage who is a killer he said so himself, im glad she didnt attack him as i would miss Kraft if he passed away. Frieren being put in a group with two girls who are always fighting is gonna hinder there chances of passing the first part of the exam though its seems the two girls do work well together when the time calls.

These birds are quite cool with how fast they are and there mini size.
