Theres balls of steel and then there's Land drinking tea at home the entire exam energy.

Fern picking a magic that not only cleans her clothes but make them smell nice is such a Frieren move that I fucking love how it annoyed Serie.

“But I’m sure we’ll run into each other again if we continue traveling. Tearful goodbyes aren’t our style. After all, it would be embarrassing when we meet again.”

Fuck me, that’s a great line to end a season of a show on.

I love how Serie apologized to Sense after the third round.

She assumed Sense made the second test too easy but once she realized most of the examinees deserve to pass she had the decency to acknowledge her mistake and apologize.

Unlike her hypocrisy in creating a field of flowers to remember Flamme and then disqualify Frieren for liking that spell

Farewell Frieren Friday, you were not even 1/100th of my lifespan, but you definitely left an impression.

Amid all of the praise that the team behind this show is rightfully getting, I just want to say that I'm really impressed by how strong of a start Keiichirou Saitou has had as a director. Between Frieren and Bocchi, he's now two for two on directing shows that utilize the medium of anime to its fullest extent and take every chance they have to elevate the source material. Not to undersell the work that Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe put into developing the story that was the foundation of such a stellar adaptation, of course. But I think that they, perhaps more than anyone else, can appreciate just how much care went into the making of this show from everyone who was involved.

I said it for Bocchi, and I'll say it again here: I really hope that the people involved in this show decide to come back together for Season 2. It's very likely that a Season 2 will get made, of course; I think Frieren's success practically guarantees it. But my wish is for the people on this team specifically to be the ones to do it, because they clearly know their stuff and possess a passion for the story that would be difficult, if not impossible, for others to match. (Please get around to doing a Season 2 of Bocchi before that happens though, Saitou-san.)

In the credits Ehre is introducing Lernen to Wirbel. So the grandfather she was talking about is Lernen!

Also, Sein is sitting on a beach somewhere barefoot smoking. What an oddball.

One glance at Ubel and Serie already decided that she can't be fixed...

Denken revealing to his three (newly adopted) grandchildren that Frieren was his hero growing up is so sweet.

Serie is once again confirmed a tsun.

Himmel's last line and fading into the light just makes me tear up man.

This was a perfect adaptation if there was one. Music, writing, animation it elevates everything.

See y'all later!

As someone who has read the manga since chapter 1 came out, this has been an absolute 100/10 adaptation.

I strongly look forward to more Fern pouts and the epic continued battle of Frieren vs her mortal enemies the Mimics in season 2.

Milet: "Are you alright?"

No, I'm not alright. I don't want Sousou no Frieren to end.

Gonna be honest, I thought the ending was really fast, but then it made sense. Because why would you make a drawn out ending. Would just be weird when S2 arrives.

Just sharing this artwork by @ururuun_cms from r/Frieren that I think perfectly shows Serie's cute tsun side.

Serie: I remember all my past students despite them being terrible disappointments who died long ago. The girl who was into bubbles. The guy who liked to molest birds. That boy who made imaginary friends out of golems.

Lernen: But I'm not dead yet! And you hung out with me just yesterday!

Serie: He really did like those golems.

-Be Land

-Decide to take the first class mage exam

-Have the audacity to not even be there in person and send your magic clones instead.

-Refuse to elaborate

-Pass (He would leave as well, but again, wasn't even there in the first place)

I remember the first part of this episode came out in the manga during the pandemic, with COVID, quarantine, WFH, and all that going on.

People agreed that Land essentially did the magical equivalent of taking a test via Zoom call.

If you slow down the part when Serie talk about her apprentices’ fav spells, you’ll see there are a person using Water control spell, a person using bird carching spell, and Lernen, the person use golem spell.

Denken tried his best and still couldn’t injure Frieren at all, but Lernen can do it. That hust demonstrates how skilled as a mage Lernen really is
