The dancing scene of FernxStark was only a color page in the manga. Seeing them actually dancing (and how they went from uneasy to enjoying themselves) was just another reason why the anime is elevating the source material to a new level.

Oh god, this show just keeps getting good. That dance was so cute, they both looked so adorable and the animation of the dance was also so damn good, like they don't even miss with the small details. Fern looked so cute in that dress and that hairstyle and Frieren too in the dress and hairstyle while eating the cake.

It's gonna be hard when this goes on break. Maybe not, cuz the break isn't that long. But still, no Frieren for a week or two. Well, the staff absolutely deserves a break to rest and spend time with their loved ones. After all, they gave us this beautiful and absolutely gorgeous adaptation. It's just so damn good in every aspect.

Will be waiting for more.

The pacing this episode was fast even for this show. It felt like they crammed a couple chapters into 1 episode because a lot happened.

Nice to get some cool Sein action this week as he held his own against that flower monster, but Frieren stole the show with how she finished it off. Five seconds of being awake is more than enough time for a mage like her.

Loved the character interactions in the 2nd half. Lots of parallels with Lord Orden and his son, and Stark's own upbringing. The dance scene though, seeing that made me happy. Fern and Stark seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves during that scene and it was nice seeing them look happy in each others presence when Fern is usually so cold toward him. Stark x Fern shippers have been eating GOOD these last couple weeks.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Not just sail, soar to new heights and beyond!

Their ship is a freaking battle cruiser!!!

They be shipping up to Boston! Whoah-oh-oh!!!

Fern was just too cute in that dress and Stark handled that dance like a champ! Although I didn't notice any blushing on either side so this ship is kinda still leaving the port.

Kinda wasted potential of second part, maybe it was too rushed?
There should be way more lovey dovey with Stark and Fern and from Fern side..

I liked the part with curse and Sein fighting and way of thinking ;]

Our world is unfortunately filled with strife, chaos and angry discussions about anything and everything. From Osaka to Santiago and Helsinki to Cape Town this is just a fact of life. Sad but true.

It is then a wonderful and precious thing when the entire planet, and I mean every man, woman and child on this Earth, can unite in one thing, just one little thing:

shipping Stark and Fern....LETS GO!!

A mix of some action and a lot of slow character building. I have to say, I truly enjoy the second part, more than any of the action scenes, as all the characters and all the small nuances between them are so well written!

I think one of the reasons I like this show so much is that it just seems to go so hard. The story, characters, etc. would still make for a perfectly serviceable anime in its own right, but with the music, animation, direction, etc. just elevates the source material to an extent beyond my wildest dreams. For a show with a relatively small amount of action, the fight scenes are all fluid and dynamic. The backgrounds are detailed and interesting. And the dancing was just delightful: smooth animation, subtle changes in their expressions as they go on, etc. Just great.


I am getting somewhat tired of telling my friends that this anime is shaping up to be a masterpiece. Every episode has been good and engaging, and I believe many of them are great. This almost certainly is my favorite anime this year (or tied for first at the very least).

Sein getting his moment to shine saving a whole village from a deadly sleep. Arriving to this place finding everyone fallen over asleep would very creepy. Frieren did a good job explaining how priests are different from mages. Sein as a priest can stop curses like this sleeping one, whole Frieren can sense it but not dispel the curse. Stark then Fern then Frieren herself falling asleep leaving only Sein was funny. He mentioned having battle magic and he showed it off fighting that plant monster. Another showcase of smooth animation in this show as Sein tried to kill the monster until waking Frieren up to do it. Traveling to the next major city on the way north meeting a strange local lord whose son looks remarkably like Stark. The Lord's family hailing from the same village as Stark makes sense but his request doesn't at first. Him wanting Stark to pretend to be his killed in action son at a party so not to lower moral is wild. Thankfully they were offering a good sum of money otherwise I'd say hell no. Frieren almost walked out until Fern showed her the measly coins they have left. Stark having a few months to learn etiquette at the Lord's mansion while waiting for the party was funny. Dance practice with the old man butler would be super weird. Fern just sag back and enjoyed the free donuts until she had to learn etiquette for the party too. Their efforts did show us some amazing dancing, Stark and Fern are always cute together and these last couple episodes have really shown that. They looked like a prince and princess dancing eloquently at that party. The party earned some money and Frieren got another grimoire, A win win.

I do hope that Sein being the skeevy perv trope doesn't become a standard bit, it has at least been less obtrusive than some of the classic scumballs but I'd still like to see someone shut him down.

As a character otherwise though? He's great. The scene of him first stepping up to save the day before accepting the story he'd heard from Heiter decades before was epic, and it all paid off his growing closer to the group by having Frieren instakilling the shrub on opening her eyes.

That dance scene my heart melted. Guess Stark really was fit for the role after all. Even the Dad wanted him to stay but Stark has to come back to his master and tell him all the great adventures he's had. When Frieren's cast gets to shine they really shine.

Also love how Sein got to shine in this episode too. They explained priest lore and more Frieren lore. Trust Frieren's words she knows what she's talking about.

Good episode loved how it focused on the boys!
