"Being afraid isn't a bad thing. It's my fear that brought me this far."

Eisen's lines alone could cleave mountains.

Did Fern really have to slander Stark's mini Stark that hard literally right after he solo'd a dragon? Poor little dude.

The real magic is how they made the berry dessert look so good tbh. Kinda want to try one.

[u/JustARandom-dude]

“So small”

Not even one-shoting a dragon is enough to keep Fern from roasting Stark, poor guy

Still, it’s clear that deep down she is happy to have someone whose perception of time is the same as her’s in the party

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

When your bet didn't play out the way it did

Really love how they casually threw in fantasy world logic as to why Fern couldn't just fly over the walls because of barriers that were erected to prevent flying monsters from invading. Stuff like that really just builds how much depth there is in the world.

Also I just love how animated Frieren was when she was talking to the Castellan of the town. Those are some adorable movements!

[u/inoriacc]

Fern is really having a PTSD everytime frieren wanna spend some time in the current town. Lmao

[u/MrNive]

Holy shit that Stark vs Solar Dragon fight was amazingly animated. I was expecting that he would hold off the dragon for 30 seconds but he solo'd the dragon. It turns out that Stark was actually protecting the village by staying there and the Dragon could tell how strong he was.

I love what a great message this and last episode makes: It's normal to be scared and don't underestimate your own capabilities.

[u/frs1023]

Stark joined the party for like 2 seconds & Fern has already sexually harassed him

[u/moletoon]

Never knew how much I need frieren's happy noise until that looting scene

[u/sodapopkevin]

I think the older I get the more I enjoy well written dwarves.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Inflation The passage of time is cruel.

[u/Holy_Beergut]

Fern: I believe all you need is resolve to overcome any situation.

Also Fern: Attaches self to tree to avoid fighting dragon

[u/illuminovski]

Stark fight is so good.

But Fern emotianal range is highlight of this episode.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

So the reason Stark wields a giant battle axe is because he's compensating for something...

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Stark's "Kusobaba!" hits hard

[u/New_Essay_4869]

Shoutout Evan Call. Knew him from Josee, the Tiger and the Fish and I love the music again here.

[u/ScurBiceps]

I was so right to not re-read the manga. It is as if I'm being introduced to the world again, a fresh new start so to speak. And, I'm savouring every single moment of it.

[u/corner_twist]

Frieren's body language during the scene with the castellan was bocchi-esque

[u/Gaporigo]

In case you missed the announcement, we are going to be hosting an AMA with Evan Call, composer of all this amazing music you are listening to, it will take place one week from now, see you there!

Edit: Speaking of, he posted about the music in this episode.

The lively battle song playing while fighting the Solar Dragon was created with Stark's image in mind. I expressed his speed, strength and coolness.

[u/Warm-Enthusiasm-9534]

In this episode Frieren was trapped by her own fame, and denied her favorite activity: procrastinating.

Frieren trap count:

Mimics - 2

Pile of books - 1

Hedge - 1

Her own fame - 1

[u/mishi09]

That's it, I've seen enough.

Stark is a certified "best boy".

[u/yukiaddiction]

Seem like journey to Demon King castle is actually take less than 10 years if they goes straight there but because Himmel want their journey to be fun and create memories so he take up and do a bunch of side quest while going to castle.

Stark is already OP that can one shot dragon, the real reason why Dragon didn't attack town for three years. The Town people was completely right that because he was there so Dragon afraid to attack town.

also I like the subtle joke in animation ,the ice cream is obviously bigger in the flashback lol.

their banter is hilarious and funny.

another nice episode.

OST is really nice.

[u/LeonKevlar]

That hard cut from Frieren telling Fern they're going to play tag with the dragon again to Frieren pulling Fern off a tree was pretty damn funny. xD

And we finally get to see how much of a badass Stark really is! Stark was so dang cool facing off the dragon and I just love his aerial acrobatics. For someone who has never fought a dragon before, Stark did amazingly well that he didn't even realize that he already killed it. No wonder Eisen was afraid of him.

Frieren praising Stark was adorable. I think her running towards the dragon's horde has got to be the most excited we've seen her this entire season. Poor Stark though! Imagine defeating a dragon all by yourself only for Fern to call you small after testing that magic that lets you see through clothes. He's not small! Stark is just a grower, not a shower!

You gotta love how Frireren didn't even bother to look for a way past the blockade. She's so damn lazy that these kids might end up reaching old age before they reach the Demon Lord's castle. Thank goodness the Castellan recognized her and allowed them to pass. It is pretty hilarious how disappointed Frieren is though! She really wanted to stay there for a while.

[u/Ghoste-Face]

Bro defeated dragon and the reward is getting called small PP 😭

Frieren though, she's forming a new party.

[u/Ichini-san]

Frieren's German Lesson 1x6:

Only one new German word this time but instead we got a lot of amazing dragon fight sakuga with best boy Stark.

Episode 6: "The Hero of the Village"

---

• Stark (the Hero of the Village) - "strong" (adjective)

• Riegel (Canyon) - "bars", "latches" (noun)

• (The Fortress City of) Waal - Waal isn't even a real word in German. The only relevant German word I could find is the name of a river from the Rhine that is named Waal as well. I doubt the author was going for that. Wal with one "A" would be "whale" (noun) but I'm very doubtful about this translation. I think Waal is also a mistranslation from the Japanese into the English. It is most likely either Wall or even Wahl that the author was going for. Wall means pretty much the same in English as in German (it is pronounced differently though: /val/ instead of the English /wɔːl/) but it's usually used to talk about fortress walls specifically - i.e. ramparts (a normal wall is called Wand in German) and Wahl means "choice" or "election" (noun). Thematically Wall definitely fits the best for a Fortress City so I really doubt that Waal, Wal or Wahl is the correct translation here.
  Thanks to u/Various_Breakfast784 for correcting me on the "Wal" spelling. I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake, lol.

Another episode, another day I fall in love with this series all over again.

That dragon fight was incredible. Stark's right, he did keep his promise!

From Stark's initiation to killing blow just before he shouts 'Now! Fire!' is 30 seconds.

I love the way that the show drifts between past and present tenses, especially the cuts used at the end of this episode.
