YOASOBI have said that the video for the song will drop after the broadcast, so at least we have that.

The "X years have elapsed" is indeed part of the series, part of how it punctuates times passage.

I'm aware that the overall course of the story will eventually give more nuanced discussions of the demons as a race.

But this particular quartet?

I'll be as upset with Frieren & crew giving them a dirt nap as I am with whoever dropped the barbell on Jeffrey Dahmer.

Frieren's anime is getting amazing ratings.

Thought this was good from when the manga started, but I never expected it would go this far.
I did. After reading the manga & seeing who was working on bringing it to life, I knew that if they did a good job it would get great ratings. And they've done a fantastic job so they deserve the popularity.

Things may drop back for a week or so because of "The Apothecary Diaries" and "Pluto" (maybe not this since it's been dropped all at once and may not be counted the same way), but it's almost certainly going to stay in the top five the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, the demons have just realized they're climbing Bandini Mountain and have to go back down without skis.

It certainly is nice to have a minor character like Graf not be a blithering idiot

Yes, very much so. I am so glad they avoid the ridiculous trope of the hero being accused for doing things anyone with two working braincells would realize they were not responsible for. For comedy, it's slightly understandable, though even then it's become a very hackneyed cliche. But when your dramatic story requires that all characters besides the hero have the rational ability of a pile of dryer lint, it gets really loving boring really loving fast.

Having read the manga, I'm glad the true meaning of the title is finally sinking in to the anime audience. When it comes to demons, Frieren is a stone cold killer. Seeing everyone's reactions to next week is going to be fascinating.

When Aura mentioned Himmel’s name, Frieren didn’t react much, but you can tell she’s pissed.
Oh, when I got to that part in the manga, I thought "That's it, bitch, you gon die nasty, now."

But then the anime came along and when the moment happened I was all "Is it me or did the room just get 20 degrees colder? A century from now, all they're going to find is a little sign somewhere on the battlefield that reads 'This is where a really stupid person pissed off the wrong elf.' Not even a name, because they'll know which elf, and won't care which idiot it was."

Aura's Titanic ran into Frieren's iceberg. Now you see why her name is even more appropriate.

Didn't even look back. If it had been an explosion, she would have been that badass in an action movie who lights a cig as they walk away. Colder than ice.

Within the first 10 seconds you find out Sein leaves the party (yes, I know it's reasonably obvious at the end of today's episode), so yeah, I'd say that's something to wait to see.

Is it just me, or did Siere sound a bit like a mob boss? "...this is how you say hello?"

If she gives Frieren "an offer she can't refuse," would we be expecting a beheaded hamburger in Fern's bed later?

Denken's answer to running out of mana is "Yes.....and?" :allears:

Denken got hands.

Meanwhile, "She's just using basic combat magic." Yeah, and the U.S.S. Missouri just used guns...

Flamme knew that the Demon King would just keep growing in power to counter what anyone like Seres came up with, fancy magic or no. That's the reason for her telling Frieren to stay in secrecy. To let her keep pushing upwards in power to become the greatest weapon possible.

Hell, she wasn't the Missouri. She was the Manhattan Project.

It's fine, she knows "Making stone furniture feel like a plush pillow" magic

If Fern gets to be a 1st Class, this is what she should ask for. Or a spell to make condiments for her hamburgers.

What spell would any of you want? I'd like a spell that keeps carpets clean and fresh without vacuuming or shampooing.

Sense's reaction face to Frieren and mimics was fantastic.
Up to that point, we hadn't seen her react to anything. Even when Frieren blew the barrier, she looked as nonchalant as always. But her disbelief at seeing this legendary mage turn out to be the fantasy equivalent of a gatchapon addict was priceless. Seriously, Frieren Frog Tanks would make a fortune.

Pretty good odds, if you play Genshin Impact.

In the distant future, Frieren will invent gatcha games and become the richest woman in the world.

If Denken and co can actually beat this copy Frieren that mirrors her powers and abilities, does that mean we start calling her Fraudren?

I saw a comment elsewhere calling the clone Cop-ieren, then someone else mentioned that "kopieren" is German for "to copy," so Kopieren it is.
