More pouting Fern is always joy to watch.

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.

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.

@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.

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 🙏

I can't believe season 1 is finally going to end next week.. Damn how Frieren has completely opened my eyes. I'm probably gonna cry next week just because it'll be over, plus the ending that usually gives us lines for next episode.. we only hear people laughing and hear Frieren say "See you later". I don't know why but that made my stomach drop just hearing that, it's gonna be an emotional ending for sure.

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.

@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.

the fact Serie had mana fluctuations just shows how above everyone she rly is...
she looks to others as Frieren in full mana mode but she is still concealing it. that overwhelming amount of mana ppl see its the already tighly compressed version and thats as small as she can make it.

it rly begs the question, just how old is she rly? 5k? 10k?

God, what a good episode.

I'm really going to miss Friday Frieren :(

I loved seeing how even though Frieren has a hard time reading other people's emotions, she really makes an effort to do so; Whether it's Fern's crosier or Himmel's flashback, it's certainly impressive to see.

Serie's instinct makes all the sense in the world, it is clear that she knows about Fern's potential, however I was surprised to see that she failed Frieren and approved only Fern.

I'm afraid, there's only one episode left pi pi pi :(((((((((

I can't help but dislike that character, she simply failed them nonstop... 🥲
Fern has the right to reject her invitation... 😏
@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 what thing are you talking about? The stare that sent Fern flying?

We don't know, but we do know that she's the living grimoire and she has way more knowledge about spells than Frieren, she's also way older and way more powerful (Frieren's Full mana only reaches her restricted mana), and frieren also said she can't defeat Serie at all in the manga.

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).
@Ishitateso It was NEVER said your mana can fluctuate due to trying to enlarge it, we don't even know if enlarging your mana is something possible to keep all the time like that (or if it's possible at all)

We get an explanation in the fight against Aura that your mana increases according to the time you spent training, so given the fact that Serie is MUCH older than Frieren, it's only to be expected and it makes perfect sense that her mana is much bigger

If both of them are suppressing their mana down to 10%, this means that Serie has around 10x more mana than Frieren (her restricted mana is already as big as Frieren's total mana)

She failed her because Frieren hasn't become the mage she desires. She's still not a mage who sees Magic in the way Serie perceives, that's why she failed her

And Serie knows that Frieren failing or not isn't gonna affect her life at all. Unlike Fern. She would be holding a promising mage back If she failed Fern, so she doesn't do it.

Excellent episode and it finally hit me that there's only one more to go, what a journey it has been. Was nice seeing some of the characters again after the Second Test, and exploring the Third Test too which showcased more of Serie's character as a whole towards the end, with a really good meeting with her and Frieren and then Fern later when she got accepted into being a First Class Mage. Very subtle fluctuations were shown that Fern could pick up on but it does show how much she has grown over the years training with Frieren to enhance her natural abilities this much, and the limitless potential she seems to have for the future. Serie got served just a little when Fern rejected the offer for being Serie's student instead of Frieren's, but ultimately that rejection was nowhere near enough to influence Fern's selection whatsoever. Also nice seeing some other scenes like Frieren helping Fern behind the scenes with getting her staff fixed, and even the first scene of how Himmel knew Frieren and how a 'useless' spell like creating a field of flowers managed to be a key part in changing history in their world by defeating the Demon King eventually. The music again was just exceptional and the directing was class too. I'm gonna miss the passion, high standards and love that the staff has put into this project as a whole after next week's finale.

I didn't say that's the reason she failed Frieren, I said that was basically the excuse she used. Then she asked about her favorite spell as like an additional chance or rather an additional confirmation of Frieren's views.

Frieren Episode 27: Also PEAK.

This is just so beautiful, it's so interesting.
I did not expect that Frieren and Himmel backstory, it was so good /cries
Denken seeing his younger self from Richter.
Serie handling the exam on her own and instantly failing those who can't even handle her mana, and her trying to steal Fern from Frieren haha.
+I swear fight scenes in this anime is just an added bonus, I can listen to the characters talk for a whole hour and I won't even get bored lol.

Finale next week and Im not even ready to say goodbye, I hope we get a sequel announcement.

I thought Serie would've passed Frieren because as Serie herself said, it's Frieren's fault that so many test takers passed the 2nd test. So based on that, and the fact that Frieren is overqualified, that Serie would've passed her. On a similar note I think Serie was upset at how Frieren predicted she would react and Serie followed through with that to a T, probably due to Serie's own stubbornness.

While I'm happy that Fern passed, which I think was needed for the group to continue on their journey, I'm curious if anyone else will pass, especially Denken.

Incredible how Frieren accepts that she is not implied to be a first class mage, and what is important to her is the time she passed along his teammates, the magic she uses, specially from what her teacher showed her. Serie can't understand the limits that Frieren puts to herself to not have an "absolute monster" personality. 'Cause the time she was feeling some kind of emotion, changed forever in his vision to live. Doesn't care what others think of her. Wandering through the world was something she was used to, and founding someone like Himmel really hit the interruptor to the other way. Now thinks of the next generation, the human one. Fern is what she is proud of, and it will not dissapoint her. Frieren will do everything on his hand, and this applies to Stark too.
What Serie consider stupid, for someone powerful like Frieren will be gorgerous, beautiful, fantastic, etc. 'Cause that is what life wants. Something like art.
Find beautifulness in life, and you will be satisfied.
