Frieren 2, episode 6


Worth the wait, as Frieren is reunited with two of the least annoying characters from the exam arc. I’d have preferred the little hot-pants redhead, but she and her frenemy failed the exam, so they’re not allowed to enter the Northern plateau. Sadly, this means we’ll likely never see them again unless there’s a collection of side stories.

Anyway, this week reminds us that demons are evil-with-a-capital-E, using language only to deceive. This will no doubt trigger another round of how-dare-they reactions from the Left, sigh.

It’s a slow buildup to a confrontation with a new Big Bad, that’s at least a two-parter. With four first-class mages on the scene, plus Stark, the fight is likely to be flashy, so maybe they’ll pull out the stops and give it three.
