A pretty cute and relaxing that combined a journey for a foot bath where the focus was more on the journey itself, and a possible development in Fern and Stark's relationship by her considering accepting his proposal. I was wondering when he would ask her and now it's time to see if anything comes of it. That bit with Frieren throwing a tantrum was also pretty funny.

chill episode, I'm noticing a bit downgrade from last season like too much close up shot and weird scene composition, last season every episode frame feels like carefully crafted shot, this one just like generic slice of life anime, well not gonna complain too much as long as we got frieren anime

What a nice trip to that hot spring. So nice of Stark, not telling the truth so Fern can enjoy it for the first time. Those views were astonishing. Yo Fern, that’s what you get for being annoying, still, how bold of Fern to directly say “Pay attention to me”, I like that, and then Stark proposing that as a joke, there’s no turning back now. Can we talk about how Frieren was soo happy in the second half of the episode? She was so cute.

Good little episode that just flew by. I know there isn't much 'plot' happening in the season so far but the adventuring and memories made (both memorable and even dumb, insignificant ones) are what makes this show, Frieren in my opinion. This one I would say fit in well with the rest of what the franchise offered. The sunset scene at the foot bath spot was really nice there and the tedious journey to get there while looking for a hot spring while underwhelming, still makes the journey fun to tell as a story later on. Wonder how the date is going to turn out with Stark and Fern next episode. Was also interesting seeing Frieren speak about her 'tantrums' that she had in the past and those reactions. Overall, this episode had such side quest/social link energy to it and while in a lot of series I wouldn't care for it much, it works for this series.

A great view, a hot spring, and a little date...

It was nice seeing more mundane activities for the group. This truly is a ridiculous adventure, but that's the fun of it all. How else would you remember an adventure if you didn't stop and enjoy the scenery? Definitely a very comfy episode, with them exploring another city. It was also great to see Stark asking Fern out on a date, and both of them asking Frieren for advice. Pro tip to both of them though, you never go to Frieren for that kind of life advice. Excited to see the date next time!

I just love this kind of Frieren: Exploring without a care in the world, stumbling across monsters, enjoying the scenery and aome character development as well as fond reminiscing about Frieren's old party.

Those montages with only background music and a few gags are gold.
This is exactly why I have fallen in love with the series.

All those places where they are waylaid are just a nuisance, like the first class mage exam or some upcoming arcs. For me, it's all about the trek to Ende. Don't get me wrong, a few side quests are fine and necessary. But if they take too long, I lose interest.

why didn't they just camp for the night at the springs? you NEVER hike at night in mountainous terrain if you can avoid it! that's how folks get twisted/broken ankles, falls, bumps, bruises, strange nocturnal monster/beast encounters annnd suchforth.

Frieren as a mom? not the worst parental unit in history... but she's not winning 'Housewife of the Year' anytime soon. ;>

mmkaaay... bawling, screaming, crying, drooling, thrashing, biting pillows and soaking them with drool, not leaving the room... and doing all of this constantly for three days n nights straight?!? holy fukk a duck that is... disturbingly impressive... i wonder what set her off? :D LOL! :D now i wanna hear and see THAT story that led up to her temper-tantrum!

A bit surprised they didn't try to restore the village's hot spring with magic.

Stark getting date advice from Frieren was surprisingly cute.

As Frieren said "Not worth it.". If we had a full hydra fight would been. I had preferred if they had made Stark digging a hot spring. Reviving the village.

Good that Frieren gave practical tips, not places. First half was a memory of place.

Hydra quest, feet fan service and a little date.

The group moves towards further north on the etwas mountains.

I love how stark emulated the himmel energy, not giving up and being dead set on finding the hot spring even though it might not be there, which in turn emulated beautiful memories of a ridiculous journey which is so much precious as heisen relates.

We make a quick kill on a hydra on the way no biggie thanks to prime bait stark.

Finally we reach the little hidden hotspring & stark saying "this is something we all can enjoy together" make me go aww (i know you wanted to see fern feet you naughty boy) jk



They really know how to bring out max emotions on the tiniest of details.

We reach the fortress city next. It was quite well designed ngl especially the buildings.

Stark asks out fern for a date on a whim after fern had to make it obvious to pay attention to her and the gets caught off guard when he actually does.
I bet she was jumping for joy after she left the room.

Stark has no idea what to do then asks frieiren for help, yea thats right frieiren of all people.
We then come to know of frierens legendary three strike tantrum phase which even made our boy himmel cower in fear and boy what a sight to behold.



GROWN ASS WOMAN BTW i mean onee san btw lol New frieren expression unlocked.

Jokes aside suprisingly frieren offered stark some really nice advice and help to take care of fern on their date.
The fact she remembers so many details about fern that heiter told her years ago, then there is heiter the loving father figure of fern knowing so much about her with the time they spent together <3 my heart. Some more beautiful heartwarming moments.

Back at the hotel, Fern asking if she had any dating experiencing, my ears literally perked up when she said "Me and himmel went out on a date once"
I got so excited for the juicy details and giggling but this elf baba i swear to god "When two people go alone for outing its a date fern" with that smug on her face. Sigh* fern was so me right there "this elf grandma is hopeless"

Anyways fern is sleepless with her date tomorrow which is cute. I am excited too. Cant wait for next episode :3

It was really cute of Frieren too don't ask anything and accept Starks wish to go to mountain onsen. Only to use as bait.
This scene.. chefs kiss.

Where Hero of the South blitz in 1 year Himmel was doing things like this...

Another couple of "just get married" chapter less go.
Honestly I thought Stark was ded when he said that lol. Can't wait for next one to see it happen.

And don't dare you call grandma or old hag like a oneesan she will cry😭😭

Her teacher also tought her what's a date🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So sad that we can't hear Flame's voice🥲

The music continues to be lovely as well

The whole sequence of them traveling to the hidden hot spring in the mountains, with the little bits and the music, just perfect

Then you see how it mirrors Himmel's party, cute. Then the kicker, flashback to Eisen how he'd never trade those memories for anything. And right there, Frieren has me crying again

I'm really enjoying the vibe of this season so far. Having the focus of the episodes so far be about the dynamic between Frieren, Fern, and Stark and deepening it is really entertaining to watch. Season 1 did this a little in the beginning but having 28 episodes to get to know the characters individually and the world they're has made the first couple episodes of season 2 a very nice watch. I hope that the rest of the season keeps this feeling while we follow the group more North

The lizard fight was well animated but it was a shame that they didn't show how Frieren and Fern killed it as I would've liked to have seen their teamwork. Nonetheless this was still a great episode with Frieren finally getting a nice soaking in a hot springs and Stark 'daring' to ask Fern out for a date; she was so taken aback that she dropped her book and didn't close the door when she left Stark's room lol.

This episode felt like it had everything I love about the anime packed into it! The heartfelt moments, the sense of adventure, the comedy, the subtle and super cute romance between Fern and Stark, and of course Frieren being the most goofy and adorable elf grandma ever. 10/10 episode 💎

Amazing episode as always, but I feel like the art style is very different in general, and I'm not sure it suits this anime.
Characters are more animated, but at the cost of the drawings not being as good.
The direction is also different, perhaps a bit worse in my opinion.

So in general, I'm starting to feel like this season has a lower budget overall.

Am i the only one who felt that?. Please tell me what you guys think. I really hope I'm just overthinking
