another great episode. ngl i wasn't very interested in this part of the manga, but when you have madhouse cinema involved, it's a different story. gotta love that camera movement and ost during fern's fight. get up my boy, stark. ayo madoka really grew up to be a demon lol.

Holy shit the sakuga in this episode. Just watching Fern float through the background during that fight was stunning. It must’ve taken a ton of work.

Dang Fern was pulling out the spam attacks with absolute speed on the demon. Meanwhile Stark was getting his ass kicked physically and mentally. But his true power is getting up despite getting his ass beat. As dumb as that message is I still love the simplicity of it. Feels like something a real great warrior would have said. Frieren is ready to kick some demon butt herself wouldn't be surprised if a good portion of the episode is on her versus the scale demon.

Good animation this episode as always. I really hope they can keep it up till episode 28.

She´s a demon. Who cares about some stupid, weak human? What is he gonna do? That´s probably her thoughts. Throughout the whole battle, even though Stark kept getting back up, she never got the sense that he could beat her.
...she was wrong.
Idk bruh, they kill guards like they are nothing even though they don't pose any real threats, yet the one guy that her master specifically told her to "finish him off" she couldn't do it.

@MadanielFL Yea that was weird. And he mentioned that her attacks didn't have "weight" to them when she had literally just made him eat dirt with one swing so, kind of weird.

"Fern, The fastest gun in the Wild West" 🧙‍♀️😳

And Eisen did a good job with the boy 🪓

I wonder how much mana Frieren has accumulated over the millennia... If I were Aura I wouldn't want to compare lol ⚖

Edit: More than 90% scored 5/5
I loved this episode, but until then I didn't realize it was a real banger! 🎆🤩

If anything, atleast Lugner realised and recalled who Frieren was, I mean it’d have been a waste if he died without knowing after all. As for the adjectives used with her name, it seems like every demon out in the town shares the same sentiment and views, you see Aura knows it quite well too.

Liked how Frieren just jumped in front of Aura’s undead army, and started obliterating them, as she might have done all those 80 years ago. Though Aura’s scale of obedience could be tricky, but it doesn’t mean fuck to Frieren, as the army is undead, and morever like she stated herself, as there’s no Himmel this time around, she could take her time and pleasure to out Aura to her place, once and for all.

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS how Fern just ripped that piece of cloth from her attire which Stark touched and threw it some kilometres away… she’s so harsh to Stark:((( It could mean something else too, but this way it was comedy gold, without even intending.

We were waiting for Frieren vs Aura, but that’s for later in its full extent, as Fern against Lugner took the complete cake this time around. Visual spectacle it was already, but the music in the background complimented a LOT too. Fern, with her monstrous powers, had a literal demon in shambles.

Stark again with his never say die. He might not be as powerful as Frieren or Fern but he’s in his own league too. Goodbye girl, nobody would remember you, and you too, Lugner:)

Stark was asking about the bloodstain on her clothing which if you didn't know isn't Fern's blood but the demon Lugner's blood it was what was tracking them. Fern realized that so she instantly threw her cloak away not because Stark touched it Fern just didn't notice it until Stark pointed it out. That's also was also pointing out that the blood on Stark's collar had traces of mana in it.

I don't think Frieren is going to or meant to be all about the stakes. If you want some stakes go watch Attack on Titan's finale, now THAT has some stakes on it.

Madhouse went wild with this episode. How many years have they cooking Frieren? 2? This seems like an anime that has been in production for quite a while.

Fern and Stark technically are finally on the hero-level they are expected to be on.
They just needed the right experience and they just did.

This was a spectacular episode and the animation just brought this event from the manga into a new level.

Those two demons really let their arrogance be their downfall. And I love how there is no 'backstory flashback bullsh*t' like some shounen manga do.

Up next should be Aura eating sh*t.

Holy moly, that was some episode! Next, we’ve got the main fight, and if this is any indication of what’s to come, it’ll be insane. Disciples followed by the master, anime love these kinds of tropes, and so do I, lmao.

Especially loved the scenes of Fern just walking up close to Linie and reading through her opponent’s moves, Frieren-Sensei’s hatred for the demonkind is serious. Shark’s battle was high on the emotions and the scene of him delivering the final blow prior to the sorcery fireworks in the background was way too good.

Madhouse showing they aren’t dead just yet, yo~

I had chills. Generational episode. Midjutsu midsen could never. I guess Madhouse are finally over their financial troubles and are back to cooking up masterclasses. It feels good to have a blue blooded anime studio back to their prime.

Amazing character acting throughout the episode culminating in an amazing final fight. Both Fern and Stark living up to their masters’ reputations. Can’t wait to see Frieren take Aura out. All of these demons are such incomprehensible monsters.

The look on Frieren’s face when Aura said Himmel had been dead a long time, implying there was no need to keep living by his standards. You can say what you want about Frieren, but don’t bring up her boo lol.

Demons weakness is that they take everything at face value. They just assume every human will be weaker then them, because for the most part they are. Then when they get in a real battle they can't really adapt, because they are so used to overpowering opponents. They almost feel like robots in that they imitate, but can never really become more as they lack the emotions that other races have.

I lowkey wish we could have seen Frieren absolutely anhilate more of Aura's headless army, but I guess we will see more of that next week hopefully. All of the fight sequences from Frieren's to Fern's to Stark's were fantastic. The episode was phenomenally directed and animated and this show continues to be the show I look forward to watching the most every week.

I'm very satisfied at the accurate period attire for all the characters. None of the female characters were wearing thongs or lace underneath like most fantasy or isekais would. Fern should at least change from her pajamas though.

Epic comeback from those two. I love it!
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Interesting that the fight scenes are much more of a spectacle compared to the manga. The original fight between Fern and Lugner was very static, with much emphasis on the subtle differences in technique, whereas the fight in this version had a lot more movement, and flashier attacks.
I really liked that they leaned into the spaghetti western style of duel with the long tension of the initial standoff.
I did find it odd that Fern doesn't appear to use any shields for this fight - maybe it was determined that they would be too visually cluttered? In any case, it seems like a fair tradeoff that she seems to be casting some kind of Eldritch Blast-based CIWS instead, so hats off to whoever contrived that.

This anime is fulfilling more and more of my desire to see the team's prowess in battle -- yet while keeping its mood and not becoming a full-on shounen/action anime. It's very satisfying. Epic fight scenes, with wholesome lessons behind them, including persistence and patience. The focus on connection with history and how things play out over long time spans continues to add depth and richness to the story. We get to see both Frieren's and Eisen's investments in their students yield fruit, and we see more connections to the past in Frieren's reunion with Aura and the debt the village chief owes Frieren's old party. Fern's battle with Lugner was the most awesome magic fight I've seen in recent memory. The art is beautiful and stunning, and instead of insubstantial flashiness, the techniques used are intentional -- they have stories and purposes, adding depth and meaning to the fight and to the show. Also, Fern is just so cool. This anime continues to exceed my expectations.
