>treat a girl like shit and not pay proper attention to her when you were the one who asked her on a date>get away with it because you're a young hot strong masculine warrior dude who can manhandle an ogrewhat's the point in putting a guy through all those kinds of shit tests when you're going to pass him anyway on base stats alone?
>>285865687Total Fern ignorment.Ignore FernNeglect FernAbandon Fern as a childGive Fern False hopeGhost FernLeave Fern on read
>>285865687Feels like the show will end with Stark pushing Fern in front of a demon so he can end up with Frieren.
>>285865687Fern is morbidly obese. she has 0 prospects outside of literal pig fuckers. Fern is the ogre
I would be sucking that bathwater up with a paper straw like my life depended on it
>>285865687I liked that the date was a bit of a flop because it was more real. Not every moment with the person you love is going to be magical, but in the end they still made an effort to spend time with each other and try to make the day special for each other in spite of their own flaws.
>>285865687Stark is the MC of season 2
>>285865687man this stupid whore fern is really really starting to be a major pain in the ass, what a passive aggresive piece of shit can't the BITCH BE CONTENT FOR A SINGLE FUCKING SECOND??? GODAMN BITCH FUCKING RELAX A SINGLE INSTANT YOU PERMA BITCH FACED WHORE
>>285868239when did she remove her head scarf?
>>285865687The problem is that they're both very autistic people with a third very autistic guardian of sorts.Actually, the whole cast is very autistic. How is it that every person is a loner? Himmel died as a foreveralone. Heiter fucked off and lived in the woods. Eisen fucked off and lives in a cave. Fern lost her parents then spent her childhood tending to a boomer. Stark did the same. At least Stark is more of a people person but it's hard to squeeze blood from a stone (Fern).
Next episode will be great, two of the best travelling chapters from this section in a single episode.Dwarves, booze and mining. Peak
>>285865687what killed the hype?
You're telling me Stark hasn't had any erotic thoughts about Fern this entire time?How low can his libido be.
Why the fuck am I even watching this, this is nearly as bad a fucking Rent a girlfriend why is everybody so nonchalant.
>>285868497presumably hes not a fagget that desires fatties. most hetero character in the series
>>285865687>treat a girl like shit this bitch is literally impossible to please.
>>285868421yeah, literally >AUTISM: The Anime
>>285868591At least Frieren is the kind of autistic that's easy to deal with if you understand it. You just need to be assertive and tell her exactly how you feel and what you want with no room for ambiguity. Himmel was too Japanese-brained to do that.
>>285868533quality history and pacing really took a dive from S1 to S2, reminds me of vinland saga, all the hype thanks to an impeccable S1 just to shit the bed hard with the farm arc I personally didn't even finish vinland and will probably end up doing the same for this.
>>285865687This is actually really realistic for womenShe knows if you're boyfriend material from the moment she meets you. If she doesn't feel it, you've basically got no hopeBut if she does she'll put you through a bunch of tests, which you can easily fuck up, whereupon she "gets the ick" or otherwise loses interest
Has the author said anything about ending the hiatus?
>>285868615no Himmel was actually a top empath if anything and the most "human" non autistic of them all. He knew if he forced a relationship with frieren it would be basically subjecting her to torture since she will outlive him on a 100:1 ratio or something so why would you ever want to make a loved one suffer so much for so long after you're gone, that guy was actually well written I like his self sacrifice and auto control God knows I would have plowed elf pussy like there's no tomorrow
>>285868331Comfy
>>285865687You can't people can't make up your minds about whether stark is a giga ubermensch or lame virgin buzzword buzzword.
>>285868664Himmel was a chuuni
>>285868754Stark is a virgin chad, literally But his fight against Revolte will be the highlight of the season, they will go so hard on it
>>28586847010 episodes.
>>285868664>He knew if he forced a relationship with frieren it would be basically subjecting her to torture since she will outlive him on a 100:1 ratio or something so why would you ever want to make a loved one suffer so much for so long after you're goneNah, that's gay. Now you're both tortured souls because you'd rather die a "selfless" hero than pursue someone you love. And at least Frieren would have a bunch of memories of a happy, fulfilling romantic relationship to look back on fondly after Himmel's death instead of realizing that she missed out on that opportunity.
>>285868619I swear anon I don't recognize the anime at all. S1 was OKAY but S2 is straight up shit. Frieren picking magic canceling stones that literally creates a thousand inconsistencies in an already bland universe became TOP 1 on MAL in hours. What the fuck? Last week episode was basically made to generate meme but this one has been so fucking bad.
Fernanda
>hatewatchers are SEETHING How does she do it?
>Japan recently voted her most popular twintails character in all of anime>Ahead of Miku and Usagi TsukinoLiterally unstoppable
>>285868754Stark is a chad, he goes into any village and everyone loves him which goes to show how much of a shitty person Fern actually is
>>285865687It's because he's the reincarnation of a young Himmel. His true love is with Frieren.
>>285865687>what's the point in putting a guy through all those kinds of shit tests when you're going to pass him anyway on base stats alone?Because he didn't pass on his base stats, you /r9k/ autist, he passed because he made an earnest effort in planning out a date specifically to give Fern a good time. Whatever he fucked up in the date was secondary to the effort he put in. If it was just about how hot he was, then Fern never would have felt disappointed about anything. Stop speedwatching, faget.
Fern in her other outfit.
>>285869401Catholic schoolgirl?
>>285865930fern can't be fat, she walks across entire countries. She's all child bearing thigh muscle.
Cute Fern picking out a cute dress for her daito.Poor bullied Frieren.Mistake one, didn't compliment her.Oh no, Stark lost all his budget.Cute proud dork.A Fern denied her pendant.Stark is every bit the inexperienced male on his first date.I really would like to know how he eats soup with that beard and doesn't get it on the hairs.Cute dorks in the bath.Fern has her happy walk.Clever girl.Oh it's this chapter.This fight really shows just how much of a badass Stark is.Good episode.
>>285869401Frieren on the booze again
>>285869482>Stark is every bit the inexperienced male on his first date.His first date was with Frieren in episode 3.
>>285869393Yeah he obviously had the best intentions and put in effort to try and do it right.It's what the saying "it's the thought that counts" means
>>285869457Stark didn't notice the giant earth-shaking dinosaurs surrounding them because he was walking next to Fern.
>>285869457Did you notice the amount she eats everytime they stop?
>>285865687>muh xitter stan shipper pandering to pad episode minutesAll so tiresome
>>285868550faggot
>>285869401Do nips think watermaks still do anything in the era of AI?
>>285868930FASTER
Stark will marry Frieren by the end of the series.
>>285869508That wasnt a dateThat was just hanging out with his grandma
>>285869677im not into fatties and their bad genetics
>>285869791Shes the only female in the group so it makes sense
>>285869798you're into cocks and hairy men you fucking faggot
>>285869670It was necessary. Without it Frieren would never have been able process her emotions about that time when Himmel wanted to relieve the northern villages from demon attack suffering so bad, so he chased a cat for an entire day..
>>285865687Man that date was terrible.
>>285868860And kids and grandkids, if possible. I doubt the author would think far enough ahead for Elves and humans to be incapable of breeding together.
>>285869909I like it.
>>285869694>Do nips think watermaks still do anything in the era of AI?Nips are still using fax machines
>gets blitzed>ahh no sutaruku-sama save me>"pathetic" because guy who saved her needed a breatherShe's a bitch sometimes
>>285870063Why is her staff so thick? Is that shy she thinks Stark has a small dick? That shit must be hard to hold on to mid fight.
>>285870104She loves the girth
>>285869858Himmlerl is just like me, gathering nirnroot in the middle of a random dragon attack. Villagers are like EYAA and I'm just NOPE gotta finish my side quest xD totes roflmaocopter. It's so funmaxx broskies!
>>285865687The forced shipping in this anime pisses me off Stark is a fucking shit character
Only yuritroons hate based Stark.
>>285865687I was diagnosed with aspergers and I am less socially awkward than this lunkhead. He could have at least thrown in a casual "You look good" when he saw in new clothes, putting two and two together that she wore them for the date. Fern is kind of retarded and awkward to though so she might overanalyse a compliment and snap back with "Do I not normally look good?"
>>285870230Based gasligher
Please include me in the video :^)
>>285868164Fern is of modest figure.
>>285865687She is an elf they live for 5000 years yet are dying out, because they refuse to fuck at all. >>285868164Fern is not obese at all.
>>285869909All dates are terrible but it becomes fun because of who you're with not because of what you did. Real life is full of awkward pauses and inanimate faces because everyone's got dang tired from waging and bat crypto investments you fucken hear? That's real™ life dawg.
>>285865687Now that Fern knows that Stark isn't good at romance, she should just shotafy him with a potion and play with his pp (consent optional).
>>285870173stark is cool
>that walk 'animation' for StarkI don't think we can make fun of OPM anymore...
Stork is a competent herbivore male. Perfect for asexual granny elf uwu
>>285870444Shut the fuck up one frame cuckholdLmao
>>285870444was it also a funny as fuck visual joke when the guy with the hair slid down that embankment like a cool dude?
>>285870364He is literally retarded and serves 0 purpose as a character other than shipbaiting because lesbians are scary.
>>285870598lol I didn't believe the grandma yurifags were real
>>285870598ok liniecuck
What would actually happen if you had a grimoire/other magical item she really wanted and you said to Frieren, "You might hate me for this, but it's always been my dream to kiss an elf. You're very beautiful and cute, and if you let me kiss you, I'll give you this item. I won't ask for anything else."Would she1: Look at you with barely registering mild disdain, say "No", and walk away.2: Look at you with uncharacteristic OOC levels of disgust and call you a freak, and start having an autistic tantrum begging for the item.3: Give you an emotionless lecture on not sexually harassing girls like she's reading from a corporate policy handbook, and then insist that she won't let you touch her but she can be useful in other ways, such as household chores.4: Stoically erase you from existence with extremely powerful magic while doing that slightly mad expression she gets when she looks at demons.or5: Actually let you kiss her?
>>285870173>>285870598It's always a yuricuck
>>285870569Correct, many don't seem to understand that OPM is a gag anime.
>>285870034And Internet Explorer
>>285870668She would say yes but fern would stop her or she would have a flashback of Himmel telling her that kisses should be reserved for the person you love
>>285868973Can't stop the erfuUnless you're a police officer
>>285869670and now itt>my lesbian stan is better than your stanall so tiresome.
>>285865928BASEDImpregnate Fern and leave.
>>285870716That would be a good episode.
>>285869401Off-model Frieren
>>285870598Frieren is Fern’s mom. Cut that out.
>>285870173Fern is a shittier one
I love the historically accurate medieval European cuisine. Everyone knows that giant dumplings and ice cream sundaes were a staple food of the middle ages.
>>285865687>In order to date Fern you must first date Frieren I see absolutely nothing wrong with that logic though.
>>285870726Lol, a Zoltrak barrier as a crash helmet is no good, they are repeatedly shown to be bad at protection from physical damage, such as one might receive from being thrown from a motorcycle. This artist has not thought this through.
>>285870869Why would anyone want to move onto step 2?
>>285870869He's already had a date with Frieren by her own logic.
>>285870830this anime is not set in the middle ages
>>285870897Has it been established how Frieren reacts if men see her naked yet? No reaction, as with most things she sees as trivial?
>>285870830Why do retards throw a fit about isekai not adhering to the standards of Arthurian fantasy? Not even Tolkein is Arthurian
>>285870924It's essentially set in Dnd world, which is basically 80% renaissance, 9% medieval period, and 1% modern era.
>>285870830Always funny to see the defense force make up the wildest explanations for the shit worldbuilding
>>285870830>Clearly d&d or DQ inspired fantasy>Still compare it with medieval europe when characters more often wear shit you expect from the 1800s or laterAnon what the fuck are you doing?
Is Frieren just Doctor Who for weebs?
>>285871034There's no such a thing as one DnD world. There are many DnD worlds very different from each other.
>>285871104when anons say 'DnD world' they mean whichever version of DnD Dragon Quest is based on since they don't know about Dragon Quest
>>285870598>He is literally retarded and serves 0 purpose as a characterunironically what i thought early in the last season. i've come around to him. he skips most of the shonen protagonist tropes. like he did literally go on a date this episode without being a sperg.>other than shipbaiting because lesbians are scary.fern x frieren explicitly doesn't work, since the whole journey is about himmel. i did like early season 1 comfy yuri vibes tho.
Yuritards really are seething this episodeThey won't like it when they learn Stark and Fern have basically been dating for awhile, and Frieren pairs them together while still pining for the guy that died who she didn't care about until she realized how mortal humans really are.Story will end with frieren taking stark and Fern's kids on the same journey again, as she repeats it once per generation just to always remember Himmel
>>285870830So every vendor in this series is secretly a mage right?
>>285871087I don't remember Tom Baker and Sarah Jane Smith doing random odd jobs until the Doctor remembers how this situation is very similar to a time when him and Davros were in the exact same situation.
>>285870966Probably something like "what's wrong?"
>>285870830>Be fantasy world>Retards angry it's not just like real life Every time
>>285865687Just finished episodeReally comfy, Fern looked super cute in normal dress, frieren looked super cute with braids.Love me some "nothing happens"
>>285871188I'm really curious. She's a fictional character but she's like a science experiment in my mind. I'd probably tell her that it's normal for males to be attracted to beautiful elves with graceful slender bodies and perfect suckable ears, and she'd have a non-reaction like "Oh? Of course that makes sense for a male." and then go back to what she's doing.
>>285871104There's definetly a classic DnD world archetype
>2 episodes of ruining the entire series followed by 2 episodes of nothingAlright.
>>285871324Our elf would never
>>285871272>episodes 1 and 2 ruined the entire serieswhat?
The date was frankly disappointing. I certainly didn’t expect them to kiss or anything but I didn’t expect Stark to be a complete oblivious retard. The author truly wants to take this relationship as slow as possible. At this rate their first kiss or whatever won’t be until after Aureole. A manga reader will have to correct me on this but I assume at the very least this is the beginning of Fern treating Stark differently and not scolding/hitting him all the time.
>>285871387Because the author is making Stark and Frieren the endgame relationship.
>>285871387you probably should have invested yourself in a series where things actually happen.
>>285869953She would still have a part of Himmel with her kids and they would be a gift from him to her so she would no longer spend eternity alone, it would be wholesome to see a series like this with an elf mother mourning her human husband and then taking care of her half elf kids while struggling because she is autistic like frieren
Somebody wake me up when the show makes demons even remotely interesting.
>>285871371>muh crystals>muh future seeing nigga that already decided the events of the story
>>285868421we’re all going to be sick of the comparisons but it’s such a sharp contrast from dungeon meshi, a story enormously defined by characters’ individual views of each other.
>>285871529>future seeing nigga that already decided the events of the storyHow do you figure?
>>285871455Eventually Stark gets grey hair and finally gets to be 'daddy' and then Frieren realizes that's what she's been craving all this time. She looks back over her shoulder at him and it hurts like it did the first time.
>>285870830>anon mad that a japanese fantasy production has a mixture of japanese elements and fantastic elements in its loosely inspired germanic medieval worldIt's this kind of pandering to "authenticity" and foreigners that killed hollywood so shut the fuck up, queer.
>>285871644I will be very angry if this happens again.
>>285871251Sounds like she'd be perfect for guys with a fetish for being ignored.
>Pay attention to melol
>>285871324Frieren hates Jews
So these bitches have all the spells of the world at their reach and all they do is fire laser beams?
>>285871877what is turning Shrek's red apples into green apples going to do in a combat scenario?
>>285871324too old for him
I love Fern's soulless eyes!
>>285871877When everything is a nail, why not use a hammer?
>>285871877Those boring ass laser beams destroy everyone so it really doesn't matter. If you want to blame everyone, blame the writer for making other spells and strategies irrelevant compared to Zoltraak spam. Even when other mages go on these lengthy explanations about having better magic they still fucking lose to typical boring bullshit anyway. Like that superrsoldier jobber who got mindbroken instantly by Fern or that old boomer who figured out how to smash defensive magic then immediately lost like a bitch too.
>>285870237Fern is autistic as fuck, you don't make lol ur dick is small jokes to a guy you just met.
>>285865687If you're attractive you can get away with damn near anything and most times women will change everything about themselves to appear more attractive to you. People who are attractive live lives that are so different than the average or ugly dude.
>>285871877
>>285869794No, Frieren was in the bath (again).
>>285872013Yeah, you do.
>>285872054Ok Fern.
>>285871387The date was actually fine the problem is the presentation and the problem with that is Stark didn’t dress up adjacent to fern. The purpose of the date is that it made them ponder the question: what are they to each other without Frieren? They were brought into this journey by Frieren but without her presence they barely know how to interact with each other. This first date merely opens the door to what will be the actual relationship development, to which it appears the dangers of the northern plateau are going to expedite that.
Imagine if instead of pooping like normal Frieren has a spell to teleport it out of her and somewhere else. Imagine if it all went to the same place so you have 100s of years worth of elf shit just all in a giant pile. Imagine finding it, I wonder if she has some spell to hide it or kill anyone who stumble upon her mountain of elf shit. Imagine the smell
>>285865687Poor Stark, imagine getting stuck with a home-schooled womanchild like Fern, only good for her tits.
>Goes on date>Thinks the girl looks pretty but doesn't tell her>Just talks about their grandma the entire timeHe is a little bit at fault
>>285872098Imagine overthinking shit this fucking much. Who even stirs up this kind of retarded drama in their heads? It's not that complicated! Is this why women are perpetually miserable even when they get everything they ask for? Mental illness. Holy shit.
>>285872124The tits make it worth it
I'm catching up and watching episode 3 just now. Good lord is episode 4 just going to be a super awkward date with him and fern? I can handle that I just don't know if I want to.
>>285872161this bit of the manga is a breather for the golden city arc
>>285872124>>285872157That's basically how our ancestors procreated.
Thanks Frieren for reminding me that the only way anybody would love an autistic weirdo like myself is if I were a cute elf girl.
>>285872221you could always pick up an axe and stand off against an old dragon until he gets bored and walks away
>>285868470Nothing fucking happens. Modern audiences are not too keen on endless filler.
>>285868641Sounds like women just sabotage themselves and except men to do all the work.
>>285872260Okay. I guess I'll have to do the modern day equivalent and try and defend a Ukranian town by myself against a russian assault, and hope that their starlink fails and they accidentally blow themselves up.Giving myself a 50/50 chance.
Why is she like this?
>>285872344She wants Stark (Himmel) to herself.
Why don’t they just fast travell to their destination?
>>285871877Season 1 repeatedly told you the mages of this age are less skilled and the demons weaker wich is why they don't need as fancy spells anymore.
Frieren should wear braids more often.Also... didn't we have this episode already? Am I accidentally mixing up part of the manga that I read ahead in? Does this episode end with fern being like>well that was like being on a date with frierenBecause he just does all the things frieren told him to?
>>285872478forgot pic
>>285872344
>>285868421Fern and Stark aren't super autistic, just young and not terribly well socialized. Most of Fern's behavior is pretty standard woman moment stuff, just less noisy. Stark's practically normal. Teenage boys are oblivious as fuck.
>>285865687Attractive spergs with high stats are still shit tier. Even Elon Musk couldn't get women to physically touch him and he had to use turkey basters.
>>285872624Elon has like 15 children.
>>285872637Elon's turkey baster*
I’m surprised Frieren hasn’t experimental test fucked anyone. She’s an infoholic but never questioned what sex is like. Weirdo.
>>285872691She's probably been assaulted and just never realized what was going on.
>>285872691>implying she hasn't
>>285865687I get that the date being a bust was "realistic" because they're both awkward teens who never done it before but not even one compliment from Stark about her looking nice? This party needs Sein more than everAlso it got me thinking. Did Himmel die a virgin? Surely he got some action before he went to recruit Frieren... right? Or after she left him for 50 years post-Demon King defeat?
>>285872730She was. By the little boy who saw under her skirt what Himmel always wanted.
>>285871877There's a throwaway line in the tournament arc that states that firing lasers is mana-intensive so zoomer mages just use the environment to save mana, Frieren and Fern are old-school so they just fire lasers, boring and practical.
>Elves are biologically low libido >yet at some point they fucked enough to have a civilizationWhat drives a pair of elves to become parents? Do they just want the grass cut and don’t mind waiting the 10 years for the kid to grow up?
>>285872838>Did Himmel die a virgin?And why would that be a problem?
>>285872637He *paid* to have women inseminated with a turkey baster. Literally none of the women (OR children) will talk to him anymore.Imagine being the literal richest man on earth, and still being such a sperg that women don’t want you.
>>285871877It's basically the reverse of pic related. Frieren simply doesn't need anything beyond a spoon to dig a trench. Then she taught Fern wrong on purpose to become the most powerful hungry orphan possible, capable of spooning better than normal people can shovel.It's all practically one big, tacit jab at Serie for still thinking offensive magic is cool when Qual had already perfected the art by rendering it down to its most simple, elegant form.
>>285872876I thought it was the shields that were mana intensive.
>>285872838Himmel spent the last 50 years of his life getting chicks to wear grey wigs and fake pointy ears
>>285872880Must come a point in their long lifespans they just get bored and try sex out for something new to do
>>285872880Elves have an eternity to develop a relationship. 10 years is more than enough for humans but basically 10 minutes for elves. Demons culling their population make it particularly hard to cultivate more.
>>285872932They are too, hence why they are deployed only small enough to block whatever is thrown at them, this is established earlier, during the autistic elf raises autistic daughter arc in the first volume.
>>285872880Maybe they are slighly less autistic if they form a community with other elves instead of randomly wandering like Frieren and Kraft.
>>285872902>the child most physically and mentally like him is a castrated transGrim...
>>285871877Frieren specifically only taught Fern one spell, so that she wouldn't be distracted in battle thinking "What spell do I use in this situation"Frieren said the ultimate form of battle is just perfecting this single spell, and being faster at it than others. The more shit you have to remember the more distracted you are in battle trying to think of what to do, when you only have one spell you know what to do at all times.Frieren herself masters every spell but she still realizes that learning too much is actually a hinderance. The reason humans have an advantage over long learned species like elves and demons is exactly because humans grew up learning magic, its their entire lives, while for demons and elves its "A fairly new thing", its something they still have to think in order to use, while for humans its natural. Like how old people grew up in a time where computers are "something new", but for kids that grew up using it, computers are a natural part of their lives. The less you have to think while casting = the better = the faster
I wish we lived in a world where being a travelling mercenary was viable.
>>285868722I really dont get this ship. Absolutelly no chemistry. Those doujinshi where Frieren is whore who fucks random strangers with Fern have more chemistry than this.
>>285865928Stop making posts like this. My autism causes me to seek secret messages in posts by taking the first letter in each line and TINAGGL means nothing which annoys me.
>>285871877If it works, why change it?
>>285872838Making a big deal of adding Sein to the cast and dropping him for 90% of the story is one of the strangest writing decisions in the series. I wonder if he was supposed to return earlier but the author kept putting it off to later in favor of other things. But you can feel the hole he leaves on the group dynamic the entire time.
>>285872899It isn't in and of itself, but really everything we know about this guy seems to revolve around Frieren. Or rather it's through the prism of Frieren's memory. There are a million statues of him across the continent but nobody knows anything about what he did after the quest for fifty years. Did he run a business or father any children? It would be interesting if Frieren is ever confronted with a side of Himmel that she never saw during their quest
>>285873069>lmao, he thought the secret as easy as just the first letter of each line
>>285872905>It's all practically one big, tacit jab at Serie for still thinking offensive magic is cool when Qual had already perfected the art by rendering it down to its most simple, elegant form.How dare you. If you're going to cast one spell, it needs to be explosion.
>>285873035>I wish we lived in a world where being a travelling mercenary was viable.It is but you'd have ended up dead in Afghanistan, Syria or Ukraine
>>285873035I hear mercs are in high demand in the Russia-Ukraine war, both sides are recruiting. But it's all gay now because drones drop a grenade on you from 100 ft up in the air and it's game over
>>285870830I'm sorry, but that wasn't a sundae, it was a parfait, which is made of yoghurt and fruit, very much a sweet treat within the realm of medieval tech. Dumplings have also been around for like 1700 years, and so many cuisines have centuries-old dishes of meat-in-bread it's not even worth arguing about. Bet you're one of those fagets that gets upset about potatoes or chocolate in fantasy settings. Get better hobbies.
>>28587303540 years ago you could get paid fat stacks for throwing slurs at Blue Helmets in some shithole in Africa and now you can't even say retard in social media. The world is literally gay and lame nowadays.
>>285873083The date represents the exact reason why Stein shouldn’t be here. He’s too good at his job and all the party’s issues would be solved nearly immediately if he remained. The characters need to grow more before Stein can properly return.
Would frieren have been able to solo the monster at the end of E4? is she not even actually that strong and we've just been in the starting area this whole time?
>>285873185press G to throw back tho?
>>285873113Even in its own setting, Explosion is cost inefficient and unwieldy. Serie would probably find Megumin's efforts to squeeze every ounce of power and efficiency out of the spell endearing, but Frieren would end up saying it's cringe compared to learning a spell for making water smell like lemonade.
>>285873113>isn’t engineered to explicitly kill demons Dropped.
>>285873035Now you can live being an online mercenary posting lies about enemies. It's very effective.
>>285873243She holds back a LOT
>>285873243She's strong, but everything up until now was the baby area where humans were safe. Northern continent is where monsters roam freely.
>>285873243Most mages can't solo shit because if you get close even a crackhead nigga with a fork could kill Serie.
>>285873280What if I use it on an army of demons?
>>285873113Stark needs to learn Steal
>>285873243Frieren was never all powerful, even back in the Himmel days they constantly had to run from high tier monstersNorthern continent isn't to be underestimated, Northern continent assassins are easily able to kill Frieren if she doesn't see it coming. Everyone that lives close to the demon capital has to be strong.
>>285873083The author probably thought he was fixing problems too quickly and felt people prefer watching these characters being awkward retards over having a Mr. Fix It who has to explain everything to them and the audience.
>>285871877White Zoltraak is a spell specifically modificated to kill demons, it is explained in S1 quite thoroughly, why not used it?
>>285873414Because it's not cool. Himmel wouldn't have used it.
>he was supposed to tell her she looks beautiful but he couldn't because she's fat
>>285873583why is tamamo cross cosplaying as frieren
>>285870598He's already gone on dates with 2 hotties, so that's more than what a lot of us have done. They'd let him impregnate them too if he plays his cards right.
>>285873374Her build is to trick and kill demons, any advantage that gives her with monsters or humans is a bonus. she freely admits she’s been bodied 7 times in a magic duel, she needed teamwork to kill the demon king, and her speed makes her vulnerable to Fern. But clearly she holds back. Like with whatever fuck that pinning magic was. I’d be interested to see what her actual all-out power level is if she got into a pissing contest with Serie who is likely the actual over 9000 strongest
>>285873666Serie would be a landslide; Serie in her 1% form is as strong as peak Frieren. Serie holds her power back just like Frieren except Serie holding back her power looks like what Frieren looks like when she's serious. She's the most ancient being in the world that created magic. Full power frieren ain't as strong as people think it is against humans, as the newest arc seems to be showing, she has a lot of limitations.
>>285873243>>285873374To top it off their party comp is complete trash for combat. They have 2 backrow mages and a single front row fighter. If they had the original party comp of 2 fighters, a healer/buff caster, and a backrow mage that monster fight would have been trivial. Stark nearly solo'd it on his own and only lost ground when the mages started drawing aggro like retards. If there was another fighter it would have been simple. For what it is, the party comp is actively nerfing the mages because they can't cast utility spells to set up anything since they have to focus DPS like 90% of the time.
>>285865687Did they ever mention if Stark's axe is special in any way? He's been using the same one forever, it takes and delivers punishment. The weakest link is Stark himself. Good axe.
>>285872124She's actually a sweet girl that cares for stark, anon. I know she's not as expressive as characters from other anime, but thought tiny actions you can she she actually cares for /our boy/.
>>285874217Hasn't come up in the anime yet. Does seem a little too magical given how much Frieren pays attention to small details
>>285872124Ferns parents killed themselves after finding out their kid had the fat gene. Smart move but they forgot to take fern with them
>>285872137There were other mistakes too like not buying the necklace with the couple's discount (basically proclaiming Fern as his woman), not holding hands/locking arms after she tripped, not offering to feed her her some of his parfait for a lovey-dovey moment.At least he made Fern happy when he practically told her that he asked advice showing that he put in effort. He's still got an in with Fern especially since she cares about him too.
>>285868470It has become completely formulaic.Every episode is literally "le funny social situation that Freiren reminisces about and she is now in Himmel's shoes" or "le somewhat intense battle situation Frieren reminisces about and she is now in Himmel's shoes".Like, it worked when it was fresh and we knew nothing about the world or characters, but now it's just completely stale and predictable.
So what's the justification for stark being so autistic?Fern was raised by 2 celibates and she still knows basic stuff about dates like using different clothes and whatever.Just walking around stark could see what all the different couples were like. You're telling me this kid in his 17 years of life never learned anything by looking at others?
>>285865687>>285865930So-so, no frieren. Haha.
>KHV's talk shit and rage at other KHV's awkwardly trying out this whole "dating" thingUnless you've actually had dates and dabbled in the arena of romance shut the fuck up, it's not like either of your fuckers would do any better on your own first dates
>>285874363Thanks. If he got it from Eisen then special properties would make sense.
>>285874631Probably just rule of cool keeping it intact so far for more exciting fight scenes, but I also figured it would be a hand-me-down from Eisen if there was a legit explanation as to its durability
Women will mess with you like they do each other. It's all about them and their narcissistic personalities.
>>285871188SNIFFFFFFF
>>285872905>tacit jab at Serie for still thinking offensive magic is cool when Qual had already perfected the art by rendering it down to its most simple, elegant form.Isn't what she's spamming just the anti demon form of his anti human kill spell?It looked like that old guy who wanted to duel freiren to the death used the anti human origal version
>>285874805Yea, Frieren is just doing the equivalent of driving to work.>why would I do some Tony Hawk Pro Skater bullshit that's flashier than just doing the direct route>im just trying to get from point A to point B This is an analogy for she's just killing demons, she doesn't feel to mag dump a blackhole
>>285868421Tis the life of a hero. Being somewhere on the autistic scale is required
Based Stark. He doesn't want to be with a fatty.
>autism autism autism autism autismI fucking hate you normalfag brainrotted zoomoids.
>>285873061Getting a lot of goth takes on the Frieren girls recently.
>>285875097>teehee i wore black leather teehee>gothFern's default outfit is more goth than 99.2% of everything zoomers call goth.
>>285874995Based autist
>>285874995Based autist. Seethe and screech over the fact that Frieren cast is on the spectrum, just like (You)rself.
>>285875097Sex with goth Flamme and Methode. Even though they do not look that much gothesque on the picrel.
>>285875097anon, those are just sluts. not goth
>>285875127You are correct
>>285875097girl 3 is a baddie
>>285875097all the other girls are horribly off-model but Flamme is still her normal self because she just is that
>>285875127Fern's not gothicl. Where's her fur kilt, horned helm and broad moustache?
>>285869422>Catholic SchoolFern would be one of the ones that whores out immediately.
>>285865687He's a bigger virgin than you, Fern likes him because he's a dunce. The lad literally took advice from the most socially inept person in their party.
>>285868470Idk but opening the season with demon nuke rocks that aren't brought up again surely didn't help
>>285873243It's not dragon ball, it's "autist dedicates life to one thing", the goblin slayer appeal
>>285868421Being an awkward teenager is not a sign of autism. Autism isn't caused by trauma nor living with old people. Hag elf pussy hits different, can't blame Himmel for being a dedicated chaser.
>>285870830LOOK AT THIS FAT FUCK EATING THINGS THE SIZE OF HER OWN HEAD
>having any level of care beyond apathy is autismzoomoids are certainly something else
>>285875682>"Fern does not have any eating disorder lol she's not even fat, y'all are dumb">meanwhile, Fern:
>>285875716No, it's more like "having traits similar to autistic spectrum might suggest someone being autistic", you retarded Zoomer tourist who roleplays as a Millennial crybaby.
>>285875725so it should have been >his hips gave out?
>>285875757Stark buttfucked Frieren and Fern on a double date after he transformed into Blark, his alter ego.
>>285875751you think any level of care beyond apathy is autism, zoomzoom
>>285875725The one I watched said his legs gave out.
>>285875782>>285875751I thought you gays were saying the characters were autistic because they didn't emote enough a thread ago, what changed?
>>285869798She has child bearing thighs and magic you genetic dead end.
>>285875782Sure thing, retard. Everyone is wrong but you. Everyone who disagrees is a ZoomZoom boogeyman.
>>285875827>the war orphan who was raised in isolation and trained to kill demons her entire life after nearly committing suicide is autisticyea, surely you're the dean of behavioural studies AIslopper
>>285875827>the fatfags are also slopfagsMakes sense really, both are the shittiest of taste.
>>285875871But I didn't talk about Frieren, you dumbass. xD
>>285875898I'm Ubelsexual, though.
Do female Elves in this setting even have reproductive cycles?Like does Frieren ever ovulate?
>>285865687he didn't treat her poorly, everyone in this show just has crippling autism or is fucking oblivious.
>>285872838he didn't compliment her because fern dressed like a granny.
>>285868421You can't be strong if you're not autistic.
>>285873405running into the same issue over an over again gets boring though. Its already starting to wear thin, so reintroducing him around this time would really help the characters' feel like they're actually developing. Instead we just kinda get a plateau.
>>285873405I felt like he was purposefully removed from the story both for the anti-trope of "finishing the party" and someone who has a greater goal of finding his lost friend taking precedence over going around a war zone so some strangers can confirm the existence of way to talk to the dead.
>>285875097>Flamme lectures a young Frieren about deceiving demons>while suppressing her mana she encounters a pack of demons as they are leaving behind a burning village>the demons quickly surround her, taunting and pushing her around>Flamme, dressed in rags, begs for them to spare her life>the demons agree that killing such a weakling would be too easy, but bicker over what to do next>Flamme, now on her knees, states that she would do anything to survive >the demons grow intrigued>as she stuffs her small mouth with the demons' members, they begin to notice something peculiar>her stamina, her pacing, her raw power should not be achievable in such a lowly state>the demons continue to hold their ground, refusing to lose to a worthless human female, but quickly become overwhelmed>just as the demons are about to climax, a huge magic blast erupts and vaporizes all the demons in a flash>Flamme rises and her massive mana supply ripples through the sky>Flamme says to Frieren, "Just as demons deceive humankind with words, you must use your mana to deceive demons."
>>285874190That priest guy from S1 was cool. As an anime only, I hope he permanently rejoin the party one day.
>>285874456I agree>>285868470The shitty endless chuunin exam shonen arc
>>285870830I dislike character/clothing design in Frieren because it's all fucking over the place. Pick a lane, is it medieval peasant land or final fantasy?
Damn. I got a monkey paw's wish.Even though I loved the First Class exam arc, I really wished they could go back to adventuring with just Frieren, Fern, and Stark. But now in Season 2, I got it. But it's kinda boring and I have no idea where this story is going. I only read bits of the latest story arc in the manga and it's amazing, but I wonder what even happens until then.
>>285874456It does feel a bit too Family Guy "REMEMBER THAT TIME HIMMEL" with how it's being used now
>>285873185Why don't both sides simply stop using soldiers and only fight with drones? Then you might as well just make war like it is in G-Gundam from that point.
>>285876280that's crazy, I was just thinking that as I was watching
>>285872116
>>285876265It's a mix of both- medieval Germany+final fantasy
>>285865687i dont really like the OP music, it feels over engineered
>>285876383They really thought this and Witch Watch would be massive generational hits, but the Frieren Mangaka dropped the ball and Witch Watch turned shit when vampire shota joined the cast
>>285876383A bad case of two popular but different things trying to use eachother to springboard.Frieren should be getting hand-crafted OPs and EDs, instead of being used for FOTM jap music.But nips gonna nip
>>285872116I am convinced this is the spell that one of Serie's first-class mages have asked for
>>285876383I skip it every time. It's ass.
>>285873185>But it's all gay now because drones drop a grenade on you from 100 ft up in the air and it's game overthen you get posted on /pol/ and twitter and such and have fatfucks laugh at your gruelling end from the comfort of their sofaso yeah mega gay
>>285876383I adore it, the way the music swells and those, I don't know what the term is, the stabs for punctuation, I love it even more than the ED, which is also fucking fantastic.
Imagine how much better the show would be if Fern didn't exist.
>>285876947Imagine how much better it would be if it were just Frieren and Stark. She gets a second chance with the new Himmel.
>>285876377Not him, but I can live with that.The thing in this episode that rubs my autism the wrong way is how the strap on Fern's shoe SNAPPED shut.
>>285872624>Even Elon MuskElon isn't conventionally attractive and isn't fit. He has plenty of kids and his power is money. He can get plenty of women.
>>285872905>Serie still thinking offensive magic is coolShe's correct.
>>285877648Narratively she's proved wrong though
>>285877745The narrative is incorrect.Serie is extremely cool and sexy. It should be her show.Ubel can be her apprentice.
>>285873069Nigga the secret message is emotionally traumatize Fern.
Why didn't someone point out they need to recruit a 4th party member? Dumbasses need a cleric.
>>285877830Fern takes up 93% of the budget with how much she eats. They can barely get by
>>285877830>3 squishy castersThey basically need Kraft because they're frontline is insufficient for the amount of casters AND they need a healer. It's a completely bricked party.
>>285877830It does get pointed out later in the seasonFrieren just gives an autistic answer that Sein is still their party healer even though he's not around
>>285875951He didn't, but poor guy missed a ton of event flags that, if properly activated, would've resulted in Fern sucking Stark's soul out through his pp.
>>285877902And then bitching about the taste afterwards because Fern never misses an opportunity to be a bitch.
>>285875925the internet might break when we get her dress animated or her being horny for Land, one of them
>>285878310>UbelxLand shippers have to wait at least 6 years to see the espionage date arc animated
>>285878353i just need more ubel SEXO
>>285876383Eh it's growing on me. Kinda like the OP they did for Kusuriya as well. They aight
>>285868421>himmelWas shown to consistently hang out with other people as he aged. Thousands attended his funeral, many of which knew him personally and were not just there because he was Him>heiterContinued being part of the clergy and traveled around helping people. He retired when he was old and adopted fern>eisenIs a dorf. Dorfs live in caves.>fernMakes perfect sense that she inherented her autism from frieren, who raised her during her formative years>starkZero autism. He's just kinda dumb and clueless when it comes to girls specificallyThink before you speak, FAGGOT
>>285878005I can only really see her getting mad if he prematurely shoots in her hair or if he cums in her mouth without warning.
>>285868470No AuraThe character, not the meme
>Stark never showed romantic interest in Fern>Is showed multiple times being somewhat scared of her due to her always being mad at him>Only "asked her out on a date" to fuck with her because she always fucks with him>"NOOOO WHY DIDN'T STARK DO A BETTER JOB ON THE DATE AND BUY FERN THE NECKLACE AND STUFF"Why should he??? I feel like people feel like since Fern likes Stark, he has an obligation to like her back and commit to this humiliation ritual.
Everybody, in case you were wondering, this >>285879271 is why zoomers are all single and sexless.
>>285879308He’s not wrong tho and Stark can do better than Fatrn
>>285865687Am I going crazy, or is there an insane amount of chromatic aberration going on?
I see /a/ is still bootyblasted over the small penis line
>>285879333Frieren will start dating him.
>>285872139yes, estrogen literally makes you retarded. Im genuinely sorry to any femanons that your body produces this cancerous chemical.
>>285871530>we’re all going to be sick of the comparisons but it’s such a sharp contrast from dungeon meshi, a story enormously defined by characters’ individual views of each other.I cry every time I remember it , the dynamic between the characters was so goooood
>>285879308fat annoying bipolar bitches don't deserve sexid rather be an incel
>>285879308Don't act like you're not in the exact same position.
Stark is on his way to becoming a 30 year old virgin
>>285865687>extraordinarily dangerous area full of enormous monsters>Frieren's party can't even go a single day without getting ganked, even while they're trying to rest>monsters so strong that Frieren risks killing Stark to take one out>still has regular peasants living in pristine wooden cottages in it>won't leave because this is our home lol>literally the next house over is wreckedIs this a joke? This episode is insane.Not in the "this is so cool" way but in the "psychotic raving lunatic" way
>>285879763>This is the only place we know... which is why I almost definitely want my children to die here before they are even teenagerslol, okay bud. Where's mom? Dead I assume?
>>285875777FUCKING KEK
>>285868973Miku is not anime though.
>>285868421>>285868664>>285868860Himmel spent 10+ years trying to start something with Frieren. She never reciprocated or showed any interest in him.Later in the manga there's two scenes that explain why Himmel was so infatuated with Frieren and why he accepted that they would never be together.
>>285879763>risks killing Starkthe silly elf doesn't give a fuck, she can just get a new front-liner at the next village alongten a penny
>>285879763Yes, that's basically the story of every human that decided to stay on the cold northern regions (Russia, Iceland, etc.), the desert (the entire Middle East, North Africa, Texas, etc.), jungles (South America, Central Africa, etc.) or even the war torn countries which includes most of Europe's and Asia's history, including Japan.The modern safe countries are a very recent thing. For most of history people had to accept that living meant risking their lives every day.
Why haven't you made a Frieren tap yet?
>>285880313Risk from other humans, sure, not so much wildlife which tears through your supposed defenders like they're soggy bread. If you're thinking hunter gatherers, that's not so much either, since human groups were effectively apex predators. Sure, sometimes some died, but overall tool use was just too OP.
>>285880489>sometimes some dieAnon, humans see movement better than shapes because hominids evolved in environments in which anything that moved could be a threat, so reacting to movement was more important than knowing what the movement was. We have the visual acuity to see spiders and snakes moving through tree branches and dirt because to our ancestors it was a matter of life or death.These things happen after thousands if not millions of years.Even when tools were created it must've taken hundreds or even thousands of years before humans could deal with bears, elephants, lions, wolves, etc.Even in medieval times, when civilizations had already advanced to the point of having "safe" cities there was always the chance of dying randomly by an animal attack. Anything from a rat's bite to a random coyote breaking in and eating a baby to travelers being mauled or entire populations decimated by locusts.
>>285875947Probably not. But if she did it would probably be once every 10 years or something. I like the fan theory of elves having a mating season. That sounds about right.
I don’t get it. Does Fern have BPD or something?
>>285868973>anime
>>285868239
>>285872344because she is the only women in history to Date Himmel and Defeat him in one hit.
I agree with this thread. The group needs a cute little shota for Frieren to tease and fondle.
>>285865687Only the strongest men deserve the fattest tits.
after watching the latest episode I asked my sisters friend which I already know out and I hope I won't make Stark's mistakes
>>285881435Should've asked your sister out desu
>>285870830Frieren is simply not the show to watch if you want great world building.
>>285865687Pretty(>‿<)
Another Frieren episode, another happy and peaceful 20 minutes of my life.>You gave me HOOOLY RAIN
>>285880582Hundreds or thousands of years are nothing in the ~2 million year span hominids have been around. For the majority of that, we were apex predators. Being unawares is a thing, but sometimes lions get rekt by their prey too, and we do consider lions apex predators. Locusts swarms are more on the scale of a natural disaster. At the time, not much different from torrential rains swelling rivers, drowning people and destroying crops.
>>285865687Stark is starting to become a generic kirito clone but with more plot armor and white self insert privilege. Thus I already hate him
>>285881907literally 95% of the time stark is on screen he is being retarded or bitched. Kirito was pretty much a saint all the way through. They are complete opposites and as much as i think stark is kinda boring, its insulting to call him that when every on screen scene is showing the audience how flawed he is which is the opposite of kirito and why people hated him
>>285873033>Frieren is magic Bruce Lee
cat
>>285882348>catmfw
They should swap out Stark for Kazuma and Fern for Megumin and this would be perfect
>>285881435nvm she left me on readfrieren woulnd't do that to mr stark
>>285882475Time to Aura yourself
>>285882475Never respond to her ever again. She's just shown that she doesn't give a fuck about you or respect you enough to even give you a reply.
>>285882568This. Don't reply or ever send a second message.
>>285882475You know what to do
>>285868664That’s what kids are for but I guess Himmel just happened to be impotent
>>285865687The point is to show her that you don't give a fuck about her and you only care about yourself
>>285865928>>285877812No joke playing with a woman's feelings is the easiest way to keep her on the palm of your hand, they are gamblers addicted to getting their emotions manhandled
>Is cute, kind and does (or at least attempts to do) anything she saysOf course Fern would give Stark a wide berth for any missteps. He's basically a dog she can fuck
>>285882765Fern is white????
>>285872905>Food analogy
why is this >>>/r9k/ thread still up when it obviously has nothing to do with anime or manga? where the fuck are the jannies?
>>285883054a post like this wouldn't pass the r9k orignalility test
>>285872098He didn't have to go on a date with you, Fern.
>>285883054Did you watch the episode?
>>285874995You're on 4chan.
>>285879763I at least expect something like a big wooden fence with monster repelling magic cast on it.>>285880313True, but before the modern era people tended to live behind walls, and communities were built more like forts. Towns tended to be walled to repel assaults. If you replace human assaults with monster assaults it should be the same.
>>285870966She flirts with Stark, is aware of her own attractiveness, and has the naked potion bottle so she wouldn't care or react much but will notice the effect a woman’s nudity is going to have on men
>>285881966I would agree if not for the foreshadowing in the latest chapter that stark is going to send the dwarf black knight
>>285881435Good luck!>>285882475Owari daBtw asking out over text when you already know them is an ick for girls
>>285885817>the third main character might have his first solo win in 130 chaptersthe horror
>>285865687You know, I feel like this isn't an anime-related question but I can't explain why
>>285865687stark is boring and has 0 personality>but everyone who's interacted with him offscreen really likes him!yeah I also like him when he's offscreen
>>285865687Where do I find a Fern wife?
>>285888772Crystal Cafe
>>285888443I wouldn't say he has 0 personality. He's a cowardly loser. So worse.
>>285888443agreed stark is shit, fern is shitshould just be the adventures of silly elf
>>285888772at the fat retard store
>>285888443Every time someone says "no personality" they mean "he doesn't yell loudly like my favorite zoomer streamer and act retarded like my favorite zoomer streamer"
>>285889064Looks like a place one would stop by on a journey
>>285876383It feels like it should give me the shivers and stuff when the big crescendo comes but it's just meh.
>>285870830>Monsters disappear when they die, so it’s just normal food instead of kino
>>285889301stark is generic
>>285868470Last 2 episodes where honestly just kinda boring.
>>285870830It's a bummer how you can tell it's trying to appeal to young people, witht the clothing and food and situations.Boy and girl being together is timeless why make it modern, like you'd miss something?Reminded me how awfully written this actually is. Especially that moment when the other couple bought the necklace that Fern would have liked. No semblance of sublty.
>>285890039How'd you find 4chan, twitteroid?
>>285865687Frieren with braids is insanely cute.
>>285875250"goth" sluts are hot
