Fern: *Is visibly traumatized from her near-death experience with the dragon* Frieren: "Shame it didn't work. Oh well, let's try that again a few more times."
I love how Frieren shows her emotions indirectly. We rarely see emotion on her face, but we know that she was PISSED at the Einsam for trying to use Himmel against her, because she charged up a full blast and leveled an entire section of the forest. She may not have even consciously realized how angry she was in that moment.
I love that Frieren's memories of Himmel do not contain even the slightest possibility that he would try to fool her. He's The Hero even when he's just an illusion created by a ravenous monster.
The interesting thing about the Fern and Heiter illusion scene is that despite being fully aware of what it is, she still couldn't do it. That's the real power of such magic. Just knowing what you're facing isn't even enough. Every other victim of that Eisam was also aware that they were seeing a loved one who was already dead. And yet it worked every time.
Watched this show with my mother (shes an o.g. anime fan so its easy to get her into new anime) and during this episode I asked her if she would be able to shoot the illusion if it showed her a deceased loved one, in this case my late father. She said she honestly was unsure. It's so understandable to Fern to react the way she did. I think I would hesitate too.
I think they missed the part in episode 3 when Himmel said he wanted to see up Freiren's skirt 😂 asking 'Do you think Himmel was romantically interested in Frieren?"
@@karry299 If you think that then you're so obviously biased because the girl likes twilight lmao, they are actually pretty good at noticing the small details and understanding the characters and themes of the story.
It's that thing where whenever we say "people" and "person" in real life, we're only talking about "humans" so the Japanese language runs into weird little bumps when dealing with fantasy races. In Reincarnated as a Slime whenever Rimuru says "my life" the word "jinsei" has "jin" in it, referring to humans (human life, the life a person experiences), so he always changes it to "slime-sei" which the subs put as "slife". The word "jin" is in "jinrui" too, meaning "mankind/humanity".
"Do you think Himmel was romantically interested in Frieren?" Meanwhile Himmel wanting to end a child life because he saw what he wanted to see under Frieren's skirt. xD I mean, since that momment i was pretty sure that Himmel was really into Frieren not to say that he was and old man without a family so... yeah, i think he was pretty loyal to what he wanted. When they say humans it also includes Frieren. 'Humans' is used to describe any person that is not a demon or animal or monster. Loving this reactions.
Himmel was such a hero that not even an illusion meant to deceive could do anything to hurt Frieren. Also, looking at the size of that mana shot Frieren was kind of angry that the Eisen dared to use Himmel.
2:38 "That one one-hundredth changed you." I find it ever so beautiful that Frieren's two remaining companions, after hearing her despair over Himmel's death in regret, spent the rest of their lives taking steps to pave Frieren's way to getting another chance at committing to a 10-year journey with companions with whom she can attempt bonding: - Eisen heard about Flamme's heaven notes and told Heiter. - Heiter spends years researching the location of Flamme's notes. - Heiter tells Eisen about the notes' location. - Heiter adopts Fern and uses his deathbed favor to convince Frieren to train & adopt Fern as well (giving her a companion). - Eisen then uses HIS deathbed favor (which they both know Frieren will eventually come to learn & fulfill) to convince Frieren to journey to heaven for HER own sake, to talk to Himmel again. So not only did they both spend their deathbed favors to help her heal over her regrets over Himmel, but they also did it to construct for her yet another opportunity to practice developing bonds with humans via a fresh 10-year journey with new companions: it's truly the ultimate love letter for a life-long friend. 6:40 "Why were you accustomed to your master begging for her life?" It's a joke that, just as Frieren is scared of a mad Fern, Flamme would sometimes get scared of a mad Frieren, but rather than cowering in fear or acting reserved, Flamme's response was to beg for her life (haha).
Himmel's phantom said to frieren to shoot him because that was the image from frieren's mind about himmel, because einsam used it's prey's memory. Frieren can't even imagine to think that himmel trying to hurt her or deceive her
I'm sure Freiren heard Flamme beg for her life a bunch of times, right before she killed the demons she convinced she was a weak pathetic human who was no threat.
If Tolkien hadn't written LOTR Frieren almost certainly wouldn't exist. He literally built the genre and made elves something serious instead of children's fairy tale things.
I don't think the Phantom are able to control the illusion. I like to think that it just used its victim’s memory to create it, resulting in Himmel telling Frieren to shoot and Heiter nodding at Fern as she is about to shoot as well.
One thing about lord of the rings is are you planning on watching the theatrical release or the extended cuts? My personal opinion is that the extended versions are far superior although the normal ones are still good for a first watchthrough. Looking forward to the reaction whatever versions you watch.
Fern didn't say that tho. She says she's spent half her life with Frieren, because she's 16/17 and has spent 8 years with her, that's why Frieren responds that it'll be much more from now on.
Fern: *Is visibly traumatized from her near-death experience with the dragon*
Frieren: "Shame it didn't work. Oh well, let's try that again a few more times."
It's game logic and as a gamer myself I love all the little insinuations.
I love how Frieren shows her emotions indirectly.

Indeed
Heiter's doting smile when Fern adjusts her aim to blast the Einsam directly, achieving the correct end result but in a sideways manner.
The interesting thing about the Fern and Heiter illusion scene is that despite being fully aware of what it is, she still couldn't do it.

You don't have to be romantically into someone to wanna see their ass
And I quote…
“You saw what I’ve been wanting to see all this time!”
- Himmel
It's adorable that you expected intelligence and attention from these two. She likes Twilight for f's sake !
@@karry299 If you think that then you're so obviously biased because the girl likes twilight lmao, they are actually pretty good at noticing the small details and understanding the characters and themes of the story.
@@karry299 yo I hate twilight too but she's noticed things that I have missed after many rewatches.
Frieren never lets up, it just gets better and better. It's quickly and easily become one of my favorite anime of all time. Enjoy the ride!
Just as a heads up, when they say 'humans' or 'humanity' in the show it usually includes elves and dwarves.
Humanoid

I also really like that intermission theme that plays every time Frieren reaches new location. It's such a vibe of a cozy adventure
2:38 "That one one-hundredth changed you." I find it ever so beautiful that Frieren's two remaining companions, after hearing her despair over Himmel's death in regret, spent the rest of their lives taking steps to pave Frieren's way to getting another chance at committing to a 10-year journey with companions with whom she can attempt bonding:

It is an interesting take about the joke. Is it explained in the manga?
In those 10 years, despite that she said that she didn't know them well, they knew a lot about her and knew what she would do.
I love that as soon as Frieren said that that scar isn't that serious, Stark instantly knew that they knew Eisen 😂
Himmel's phantom said to frieren to shoot him because that was the image from frieren's mind about himmel, because einsam used it's prey's memory. Frieren can't even imagine to think that himmel trying to hurt her or deceive her

Here, put this extra 'Like' toward The Two Towers.. 👍
10:56 the "NICE" is being serious 😂
Eisen has all the best lines
Stark's about to pop off next episode 🔥💯
Of course Stark is strong. Strong is literally his name after all.
11:14 - This is the village from Hot Fuzz. :)
I don't think the Phantom are able to control the illusion.
I like to think that it just used its victim’s memory to create it, resulting in Himmel telling Frieren to shoot and Heiter nodding at Fern as she is about to shoot as well.
This episode is nice, it introduces one of my favorite charcters and im sure youll love him
Wait until next episode

My personal opinion is that the extended versions are far superior although the normal ones are still good for a first watchthrough.
Looking forward to the reaction whatever versions you watch.
The extended versions are getting released in theaters this year IIRC.
6:58 haha, if she only knew.
Yo how are you all ?
Love from India ❤
im looking forward next episode reaction
Looking forward to the Lord of the Rings reaction 😂
It’s officially recorded😂 it’ll come in May
OMGGGGG!!! Hahahaha hope it was an enjoyable watch! Can’t wait to watch your reaction
8:05 Frieren clearly did not like that the monster used Himmels image
Yep, people get confused when Fern says it will take half her life, they aren't counting that she was counting 10yrs to come back after arriving.
Fern didn't say that tho. She says she's spent half her life with Frieren, because she's 16/17 and has spent 8 years with her, that's why Frieren responds that it'll be much more from now on.
@@mrpeanutbutter6817 True. He though people are confused but he is one of these people :D
0:49 sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee girl, you "KNEW" it was popular. you ain't bluffing on that one XD
Please watch Weathering WIth You!
I am on hold to this movie for many years 😅
@@colby_247 it's so good
4:01 "Do you think Himmel had romantic feelings for Frieren?"
🥲
