Episodes like this are why I love this series so much.
Graf acting as a reasonable person in power. Stark being afraid, but still willing to fight. Stark and Fern planning shit out. Fern inheriting her fighting style from Frieren. Flamme protecting a sapling on a whim. All of that so well tied together, in a simple good vs. evil struggle.
Frieren has no chill, Draht’s death was brutal.
It was very enjoyable to see that fight. No useless 10 minutes speech on how she is going to kill him, just straight to the kill.
Great title drop to end the episode. In case you missed it last week, there was a discussion about the translation of the title in the discussion thread for episode 7. Looks like they went with Frieren the Slayer (at least in my subs, sometimes it can vary by region).
Frieren decided to break the number one rule in any D&D party by splitting up. She wanted to go solo the boss to get all the good loot for herself I guess. I am really looking forward to next episode as I remember the confrontation with Aura was one of my favorite confrontations of the manga (though the action is not necessarily my favorite part of Frieren). I don’t remember all the details though as I haven’t gone back and reread this one other than to spot check a thing or two as they have progressed through the adaptation.

I’m definitely here more for laid-back chill adventure where i get hit with some heavy emotions every now and then, but I guess a bit of cool action once every couple of episodes is not such a bad thing.
I like that the story mixes things up. It never really seems to lean too much into the laid-back chill, the emotional hits, or the action for very long, before proceeding to something else. I think it works really well for the series and continuing to be an increasingly engaging and interesting story.
I enjoy that too, really feels like a journey.
Been a while since I read this part of the manga, but I’m really hyped for the next episode.
Oh no! Another cliffhanger >.>
Kinda wish I had waited until this season was over so I could binge it, I have such little patience, but then I wouldn’t have been able to participate in these discussion threads so I guess it’s not all bad!
For me the painful part is to not babble manga spoilers in this sort of discussion. Like, I know what’s going to happen and I’m excited to talk about it, but… got to wait until the right episode to do so!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate your restraint lol.
Yeah what I’m looking forward to would require a second season of 24 episodes to reach, but it will be glorious when it does.
I haven’t read the manga and I really hope we get many more episodes after these 24.
