| seems like stark has a bit of impostor syndrome. he's really strong, but it seems he's the only one who doesn't see it. and it's nice how subtly they show maturity with it. frieren and eisen do know he's already strong, but fern doesn't because he doesn't act like it. i like how the show talks about the passing of time in small touches too. like the commentary about things seeming much bigger when we are young. i had an experience like this not long ago, working at the hous ei grew up in. that place seemed so much bigger when i was a child. ilike how this is melancholic but wholesome at the same time. this is nostalgia in animated form. |

| Damn Stark was too mean to the red dragon. He's hitting the dragon too hard till it can't even waken up again smh. But i like his guts there dare to call baba Frieren, kuso baba. After watching Ragna and then having all the watch here as Stark, no wonder i laugh hard here as well lmao Well back to the journey matter. Stark described the hero journey as a ridiculous yet fun trip. Seeing the matter as Frieren pov; having those shaved ice spell case without any syrup spell. Hell yeah right that's ridiculous matter which no wonder they spent so much time, like 10 years before reaching the destination. Frieren like to waste a time. Heiter likes to enjoy booze till he hang over too much in the morning. Himmel waste time too by saving people all around before continuing the journey. While Eisen can't stop postponing the battle, till he's ready to rumble. However times its need, all just waiting time. No wonder its ridiculous yet a fun journey indeed.... Alright, enough. I like Fern and Stark chemistry. Especially since Fern finished inspecting Stark lower body through his clothes, via those ridiculous spell they found out through those solar dragon grimoir kekw. Tho they need to cooperate more firmly and likely, since the journey to the North ahead seems way more dangerous. So yeah, 3/4 way to go i guess.... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| And somehow people think Madhouse is not a great studio anymore. Hopefully this fight in this episode changed their mind. They have done a spectacular job. Can't wait for more. Also Stark is OP and cool as hell! BTW I can't wait how Frieren will punish Stark for calling her old hag. Lol! |
on 
| poor dragon was just trying to collect some nice treasures and live a peacefull life with his magic to see through clothes ;-; So cute when frieren dropped her book hahaha really a sweet episode and I definitely love the feature of fear in this. |

| This must be one of the best episodes in Frieren. The dragon scene is awesome not to mention the soundtracks too. I liked how Stark's backstory are slowly revealed during the fight. I can't help myself rewatching the episode again and again. There is just so much attention to detail. I think the whole fight against the dragon also lasted exactly 30 seconds. Keep it up, Madhouse. |
 |
| Lol, Eisen was afraid of him....yeah they are going to be fine. |
 |
| Fern is a pervert confirmed. |
| Good show so far,love it. |
| Cool episode, nice to see everyone reliving the exploits of the legendary heroes that came before them in a way of their own. To love and live and realize how little time there is to do it.. Would any other anime come close to this. |
| Damn, the Stark vs Dragon fight animation was really impressive |
 |
| Man, seeing Fern turn down Stark's invitation was brilliant! Her sitting down at the bar reminded me of Makima. You all probably know what I mean. |
| Gosh golly animation galore. I know this show is more about dialogue and ambiance and sentimentally than actions scenes, but of course, action scenes in some parts are necessary to convey just how powerful the main characters are and why they're so prestigious. So the dragon fight scene was excellent. It was gorgeously animated. I love the new Stark character. I was worried at first that he wouldn't mesh well with the other two very passive female characters. Frieren and Fern had a good solo thing going—will adding a man to the mix make things less soothing? No, Stark's dynamic in this episode matches theirs completely. Like puzzle pieces fitting together. All the characters emit a calm and subtle energy, albeit Stark occasionally has his comedic over the top moments, like when he called Frieren an old hag, which is a nuance to his character I really appreciate. The three have a great dynamic. They have similar temperances but have distinct personalities. Extremely specific praise: I like when Fern was retelling her first battle with a monster; she said Frieren didn't offer aid, and Stark interjected "my master was like that too". It's cool how Stark briefly interrupted Fern's flashback monologue. To cement that Fern's story is not just a monologue, but dialogue being delivered to Stark for a reason; Stark's comment conveys that he is actively listening to Fern's story. Just feels like a specific attention to detail that brings the characters to life more. This isn't just a shounen fantasy, it's a world to get immersed in. |
Reply to Embient
Btw the Japanese name of this (Sousou no Frieren) actually means "Frieren of the funeral"
This is probably the most well-made dragon fight I've ever seen in anime holy shit
Now I kinda feel bad for the dragon.
This is so cute lmao. The gap moe is real.
Oh god it's the spell that allows you to see though clothes
I want to ship Fern and Stark so bad but stem staying friends/comrades would be cool too.
Really good episode!

| @Embient same i kinda wanna ship them too |
| lol. For much of his cowardice, Stark's abilities are enough to kill the dragon. He just lacks the confidence. |
| sheesh best one yet, it's because of my fear that got me this far. very deep |
 |
| Very nicely animated fight with the dragon, even if too flashy at some points. I didn't expect Stark to be this powerful. Farewell, dragon. Frieren's greed was more important than your life. It's ironic to see a dragon getting killed several years after it ceased to attack the village. What's with another tone change? It looks as if ep. 1-4 and ep. 5 were different to ep. 6's atmosphere. I feel this series will start becoming more witty in a cliched way with every next episode. I hope it won't, of course. |
| Holy yeah alright... Anyone worth anything has faced fear before in their first battle or against an opponent who seemed considerably stronger. This is true for Stark, Fern and also someone like mighty warrior Eisen. However just as Fern stated, the result of their training will show their results. Bruh Stark didn't even need support or active backup, bro just soloed the entire dragon all on his own and he didn't even realize he killed it. Now add this info with the fact that Eisen punched Stark during their argument simply because he's scared of Stark at that moment. Damn, Stark's potential is immense, he already has the skills but is lacking in experience, this adventure he's undertaking right now would allow him to bloom into the warrior he is capable of becoming. Someone told me that in the manga, the battle scene between Stark and the dragon was not only brief, it was far too simplistic. For that reason, I must commend Madhouse for doing what they did and making that short battle with such an impressive animation fluidity and use of exhilarating perspective, cool clash. The rest of the ep is showing us how Stark is a parallel to Fern. He too wanted to please and repay his master/saviour before their death as did Fern to Heiter. Hopefully, that similarity would bring Fern and Stark closer as teammates because this adventure is a long one. Maybe... JUST MAYBE... Stark could show that his rod of destruction is not 'small'. Shit, that was such a rude remark there from Fern. Welp, anyway it's time for the trio to keep moving forward! All they had to do was reveal Frieren's identity and they would've been let through. The fame and legacy of the hero's party live on. |
