| Man the episode ended way too fast. I like how Serie eliminated all the weak and undeserving mages (except Frieren ofcourse) so we already know that even if Lawine had pass the 2nd test, she would have fail anyway lol. |
My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
| The old guy nobody knows that routinely comes up to Stark just to go "There is nothing left for me to teach you" is an absolute gigachad. I'm calling it now - he's some OP mage that even Serie has some respect for or the equavalent for warriors, or something. You can practically feel the smugness dripping from the line "If you can't fix it, then nevermind". Wonder how Fern feels about officially being a higher class mage than her master, and whether Ubel and Wirbel will pass too. |
| Congrats Fern on passing the exam she will be an amazing first class mage. |
| Just need to explain to Frieren why something matters. People realizing very, but very late in the game, that Frieren is too strong. Frieren is just against the system. Fight the system! Even if you need it, to continue the journey. Of those who still need to be tested, I just care about Denken. |

| Only one more episode left of peak.. will Frieren keep the top spot all time!? Words can’t describe the sadness I’ll have when it’s gone next week. 😢 After the conclusion of the 2nd part of the exam, everyone’s got a little downtime. Sweet seeing Denken trying to give Richter a pep talk. I don’t think you can go through an exam with so many challenges like this and not become attached to people. Denken sees a lot of his younger self in Richter and I like that he encouraged him to try again in 3 years. Failing isn’t the end all be all, just an opportunity for growth! Fern’s broken staff may seem like “trash” to richter, but it’s the most important thing Fern owns, a precious gift from her master and I’m really happy Frieren was able to get it fixed. “Frieren doesn’t understand me” “I don’t understand you either” 😭 this mf Stark got a death wish. One day he’ll learn how to talk to her lmao. Well with only one episode to go I guess we’d have to start the third phase of the exam now. Who would’ve thought it would be an interview essentially. After all the perilous shit everyone’s been through this had to seem like a walk in the park, for those who don’t know Serie at least. Too bad she’s upset with the amount of people who got thru to this phase and wants to cull the numbers. Poor Kanne might as well have just failed the second phase if she was gonna get instantly rejected like that lmaoo. Didn’t even get to open her mouth. “Why’d you choose me?” “It had to be you” 😭 might be my new fave Himmel and Frieren interaction. It’s so beautiful that her favourite spell is that flower field just because Himmel liked it and it ultimately brought her together with her friends. It’s not just about the power of a spell, but the effect it has on people! Just like how Flamme loved the flower field as well even into her adult years. Fern noticed the fluctuation in serie’s mana 😳 she truly is a prodigy. Can’t even imagine the heights she’ll reach one day. Awesome episode, can’t wait for the finale |

| The OST during the part where Fern gets back to the room to find th staff might be favorite from the series. That was a neat way to tie in the flower spell and their different (conflicting) visions on magic. Teamwork vs Individuality. Next: Time for Denken to pass as well. I'm guessing most that we didn't see fail this episode will have longer scenes than a simple you fail, next. |
Frieren is too cold. Whatever she thinks will happen, happens. Except when it comes to mimics maybe... |
| I can't help but dislike that character, she simply failed them nonstop... 🥲 Fern has the right to reject her invitation... 😏 |

| 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. |
| I don't like how the exam is just random whim/mood/bias bs. Not just this 3rd part but the 2nd was as well. |
| So if Serie's mana is fluctuating but this fluctuation is even less perceptible than that of Frieren's that means she has an even greater mastery over supressing her mana than Frieren does (even though she called it a useless skill to have). This way it is implied that she has even greater strength than that she is keeping up an appearence of (in this case she is almost like a goddess when it comes to mana pool) or she has actually less power and she is just god at inflating her apparent mana and that is why it seems fluctuating (though I think it is the less likely explanation). |

More pouting Fern is always joy to watch. Author knows what they are doing.   |

| Bro if Serie is suppressing her mana and it's that big, I don't want to see it at full strenght 😭😭😭😭 |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| You know after this episode, I really dislike Serie. She fails Frieren just out of absolute pettiness. Basically her excuse amounts to "I fail you because you think I would fail you no matter what." The overall result for the exam was fairly unsatisfying, thanks to Serie. I don't even feel I can be happy about Fern passing cause Frieren not passing is so frustrating. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| I don't want this masterpiece to end 😭😭😭 |
| Frieren can be a bit insensitive sometimes. Maybe she told Fern to buy another staff because for her it's not that old. Or she forgot how much it means to Fern. Either way, Heiter was right. She actually changed her mind and got the staff repaired for Fern. That was sweet. Wow. Himmel actually met Frieren long before their adventure as a little boy. My only question is, how did he realize that the elf he met was Frieren and not someone else when he got older and wanted to recruit her? It's not as if she told him her name. Genuinely curious. The only possible explanation I can think of now is that there really aren't many white-haired elves in that world and Himmel found out about her after asking around for some time. I don't remember if that was the explanation given when Himmel recruited Frieren. Most of the examinees failed including Frieren. But Fern actually passed. I think I was right about Fern surpassing Frieren. Man, this episode was so peak. Genuinely almost shed tears. The music, the animation, the story, pretty much everything was perfect. I can't believe there's not one episode left. T_T I'm gonna miss this show so much. Never expected to love it this much. |
| The structure of the ep is so godly done, everything pieces together so seamlessly. And it seems like Denken was preparing books for Frieren knowing she will be here soon, hella of details.  |

0:13 He actually said "every day", not "every time"
Lawine is sad, even though she's the one that passed the exam. I SHIP IT. EDIT: No, it was Kanne who passed, sorry for a brain fart. I still ship it tho.
Maybe she should take a bit of her old staff, and make it a part of a new one somehow.
When you look at them, you can see that Stark and Fern got much closer, I love it.
Ah, the wholesomeness... The flashback with Heiter... My heart >_<
12:50 Falsch is incorrect, wrong, false (wow, poor guy)
Poor Lernen, why did Serie have to say it like that T_T
Ohhhh damn, so her suppressed mana is equal to Frieren's full mana! Crazy.
Ah, so it's just an interview. No wonder we got only 1 episode left then lol
15:52 Frieren: "From a long time ago" Fern: "Just how long ago is that?"
FERN LET'S GOOOOO
The next episode preview was menacing this time, with no text and only voices of a crowd. I guess the gang will continue their journey next episode. And a season 2 announcement right after that pls 🙏

| @Embient Lawine failed the exam. She and Richter both lost to Senses copy and had to use their clay golems to escape |
| In the face of overwhelming power, nobody dared to complain. Might makes right even to mages. |
| Beautiful! Fern did surpass Serie's expectations. Funny how she wanted to recruit and steal her from Frieren :D We also saw how Himmel met Frieren for the first time! It's also crazy how Series is suppressing her mana too, even though it's already that massive! She's GOD level. |
Reply to Sneasy
@MarchinBunny If it makes you feel better, Frieren didn't care about passing either way and only entered to support Fern.
Also, Fern refusing Serie's offer specifically to stay with Frieren undoubtedly pissed Serie off, even if she doesn't show it.

| @Sneasy Ya, I know Frieren doesn't really care. It's still pretty annoying though and to some degree wish it wasn't written like this. Story wise, I just don't think Serie really needs to be that petty and childish. Unless I am missing something here, and she does have a good reason... but it certainly didn't seem like it. |

| GOING TO RE WATCH ALL THE EPISODES BEFORE THE LAST ONE AIRS NEXT WEEK THIS ANIME IS JUST TO SPECIAL. |
| But can Serie do that thing the Frieren clone did? |

| @CrazyButNot4U she failed then because none of them were worth it, aside from Frieren (she failed her out of pettines) She passed Fern exactly because she doesn't want to hold back promising mages None of the other mages were good enough And don't forget that there are still people to be interviewed (Denken, Methode, Ubel, Land, Wirbel) |

| @Marenwynn She said she knows every magic, so almost for sure yes |
| I like how frieren just lowkey called herself retarded, suggesting that the other elfs intuition is spot on so failing freiren is the right move. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
