When that insert song took place in the episode, it felt like a very precious moment. The fact the song was also utterly beautiful? Yeah, I think that showed quite well why Frieren as a series is such a wonderful one. 💖

Kinda surprised they didn't stay at the town for longer if winter was coming. Frieren probably wouldn't have thought of it but the Graf would have.

Unless maybe the hut was a lot further from the town (a few months) than they made it seem (a few days/weeks).

Still, I guess it was good for Kraft that they did.

Great episode, nice break from the action

I liked what Kraft said, "And before that?". An elfs famous adventure list is probably like a millennial programmers linkedin
I wanna see more of Kraft singles, hes somehow both badass kind and hot


Stark and Ferns reactions were cute as usual, I guess gay people also exist

The demons have been defeated, the knights have been buried, and one of the harshest winters have passed. Traveling to Endo is still our main goal.

Cool to see Frieren talk to another elf, thought they'd talk a bit more but it was interesting to see the elf's take on religion.

@delirific Dont think so, not a lot of self-preserve instinct on the elf race.

BTW Great episode. Loved it to be relaxing again after the last arc.

@falko92 Physically, all the bits are there. All they lack is motivation. The past elves clearly had some reason they did it, even if pragmatic rather than instinctive in nature.

Parting is such sweet sorrow. I liked the monk so much, really cool guy. I hope we can see more of the elves. They are all so lonely it's sad. I also like the aspect where not all religion is bad; tired of seeing it demonized.

damn man, the choir music was absolutely divine at the beginning and then another song later on, this show just doesn't miss. i was not expecting takehito koyasu's voice while reading lol that was very interesting. more parallels, you love to see it and another great episode. that "i'll see you in a few centuries" hit hard but i'm glad freiren got to meet another elf.

How is this series so cool. Frieren has been around people who are considered myths nowadays, like Flamme, the founder of humanity's magic, but Kraft is implied to have been around since before the last time the Goddess showed up! I can only imagine what he's accomplished in his life that he wants the Goddess to praise him for...

After riding the wave of excitement from that epic last arc, a laid-back, slow-paced episode like this really brings back the essence of what initially captivated me in this storyline. It's like a masterclass in weaving emotions and melancholy through dialogue.

The theme of elves witnessing their own race fading into obscurity hits hard, and the notion of seeing your achievements and companions erode over time is genuinely disheartening. Kraft could have been a hero on par with Frieren, and the thought adds another layer of depth.

There's this nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of 90s Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem, where the final scenarios often introduced a super old hero from a bygone era. Frieren's character is sparking a desire in me to dive back into those games.

Following the craziness of few episodes its nice here to have a slower episode as our group recovers from their fight and move onward north. Graf Granat very appreciative towards Frieren, Fern and Stark since they saved the town. Not only that but by killing Aura it set all those lost souls free from their torment of being her soldiers. Stark repeatedly thinking he was going to get executed for talking causally was really funny. The townsfolk naturally wanting to celebrate their saviors before they depart, lots of parties and resting up. Now picking their next destination of the biggest northern city to take this mage exam. A very funny scene of Frieren saying she's not certified because these groups that monitor mages change so much. Frieren is just too old for the way the world works she can't handle the rapid changes. Fern playing mom basically to Frieren since the elf doesn't really care about stuff like that always makes me laugh. Trying to cross these mountains didn't go as smoothly as hoped, running into an immediate blizzard and getting lost. Stark passing out was funny, he couldn't handle the cold at all. Fern wanting to just leave him cause he's foo heavy. A nice break finding that cabin, with another elf inside no less. Kraft the monk, he provided much useful help to our group over these months enduring the long winter. The four of them bonded well taking care of each other. Some poignant conversations about faith, receiving and accepting praise, and longevity between Kraft and Frieren. Just as fast as we meet Kraft he's gone now since the winter has passed. Our group must continue north to this city.

@MomoSinX the guy may have thousands of years, while Frieren the girl just have something more than a millenia.

And we are still going to see another elf from mith era.

That "city's SOL" scenes and music was amazing.

Ah man, this one is so very good. It's beyond what I hope for, get sucked in and don't know if there is anything different to say than the many others.

The song in the middle is epic, and the rest of the music is A+++. Some rich horns going on can be a real good time. I get the hate with the OP, seemingly unsimilar in style, but I kinda like it. It's got a funky beat, and I can dance to it.

Everything is good and nothing is bad with this episode. The element of time is so masterfully treated my head spins. 6 months in a cabin, 6,000 year old monk, nightly supper together before the fire, 24-minute slice of life fantasy with a rare double helping of elves. Fabulous storytelling. Great animation.

Get to finally see the contrast with someone who has lived much longer then frieren. I assume the monk had is own demon king type of adventure feat. He is so old now not even frieren is familiar with his accomplishments. Even though frierens party completed there adventure relatively recently her accomplishments will slowly, become a tale that is told that few living will know if it actually happened. A story in written literature and forgotten in time similar to the monk as she lives her life.

Probably the reason why she doesn't bring it up initially in most of her encounters, even though these would have made the journey easier. She has already moved on mostly and it was a relatively small time event in her lifetime for living a 1000 years already. She realizes most people have long forgotten the party and there accomplishments as most of the humans during that time have died and less will know by the day. Time losses its importance as you know you will likely live so long so its hard to emotionally be attached to anything as elfs.

I'm starting to understand Frieren's impression that a decade passes quickly: We've already reached the 11th episode and everything goes by so quickly! Even in episodes like this, where relatively "nothing" happens, it's so enjoyable that at the end it feels like it only lasted 3 minutes.

I'm loving Frieren's post-journey, I wish all 28 episodes of the season lasted as long as the combo 1st episode.

there was a really bad song in this episode but other than that it was another good episode
if this show had 12 episode seasons this would be the start of season 2

i think i would enjoy the show more that way but then id have to wait between 6 months and 3 years to watch this episode
or maybe it would just make the show more boring considering it would be slightly slower paced

i dont know but its always interesting to think about different ways to adapt a manga into an anime, ive put a lot of time into calculating stuff like this for dr stone and dragon ball

this episode really feels like the start of season 2

i think im only just now realizing that the end goal of this story might be to talk to the dead members of the hero party
i was wondering why she didnt do it yet
this is a journey to heaven or something

also i must criticize the crunchyroll subtitles for not including the honorifics

Never really noticed or enjoyed an anime background OST & Sound Design this much. This is for the first time after Call of Silence (OST from Attack on Titan) that I'm enjoying music and SFX which are just so soothing & joy bring truly embracing & befitting the theme and joy of adventuring.

The rustling of leaves, the crunch of snow underfoot, the clash of swords. The sound design in Frieren creates an immersive experience its almost like Mushoko Tensei but it has it own uniqueness.The sound design ensures that every environment feels real & sort of human.

For me music & fights go hand in hand I always love when Directors work with the Sound Team to create a music symphony for big fights and blend it together that it feels like the rhythm of the war. The synergy between visuals and sound elevates the storytelling and brings back the memory of childhood enjoying and discovering the world through my own eyes.

@gladiatorstv And then they ruin all of that with that obnoxious J-pop vocaloid opening song that completely destroys the atmosphere and tone of the show. They could have gone with the Mushishi or Aria route by using a song that goes well with the overall tone of the anime, but instead went with some loud obnoxious song because they need to get more eyeballs and sell singles. It gets especially jarring if you are marathoning the episodes.

@Vhailor Yes the intro song doesn't match the theme and rest of show all most like the tried to copy Jujutsu Kaisen like flashy opening instead of a much more calm one like Mushoko Tensei which would have worked fit the show better and elevated it to much better heights.

Not much happened here, it was a chill episode but that's ok, after the previous 3 episodes which were amazing it needed a chill episode to relax I guess.

I'm still not a fan of the expressions of those 2 main characters, they are kind of boring.

Kraft might have been a hero from an even farther time in the past than Frieren. Demons and especially Demon Lords tend to sprout every once every few generations after all. His story must be so ancient that no one no longer knows his story.
I have a feeling he was already existing during the Mystical Ages, back when some Gods are still coexisting with other creations.

This makes me wonder if there is only one religion in this world. Id think more elves would be like Frieren if they could see religions come and go all the time.

Kraft seems nice though he seems to confirm Frieren's more toned down demeanor is part of her personality rather than an elf specific thing since Kraft seemed more lively and expressive despite him assuming himself to be older. I assume if he cant tell Frieren's age maybe elves dont even age much even once they get old, rather they just expire.
