My goodness, I have been so impressed with this adaptation so far. I love the manga, and I am always apprehensive about knowing the source material prior to seeing the anime, but this has absolutely exceeded my expectations.

One very underrated aspect to this adaptation has been the pacing. I was worried it would move along too quickly, skipping content, etc. (as many adaptations do), or that it would drag, especially since I know the story already. But every episode always starts with me thinking I know how far they are going to get, only to be almost shocked that the show is over well before the story beats I was expecting have even happened. So smooth.

Loved how merciless Frieren was, finally an MC who really doesn't fuck around, her opponents find out, and fast.

Draht (Tempting to call him "drat" instead! XD) was taught a lesson of getting way ahead of himself as Frieren make easy work on him, resulting in his quick death. Although the fight was short, the animation quality for it was beautiful.

It was good timing that she ran into both Fern and Stark. She didn't waste time in encouraging the pair to not let fear and nerves get the better of their judgement when it came to wanting to take on the other two demons, Lugner and Linia, saying that they're not weaker than those demons. Her words help the pair in their daring plan in breaking into the mansion and rescuing the chief of the town, which did succeed. Hopefully they can keep him alive, although I expect both Fern and Stark will have a tough showdown against the demon pair.

I love the way this episode escalated so much towards the end, with Lugner reminiscing about the past when he once fought and lost against Frieren, after realising Fern's way of using magic was similar. The scene then transitioned to Frieren herself, all on her own, looking down upon Aura the Gullotine and a huge army of headless soldiers, with Evan Call's soundtrack in full blast, before Lugner says "Frieren the Slayer", which signalled the end of the episode. If that moment alone doesn't hype you up for the next episode, then I don't know what will! XD

I said the previous episode was my favorite one but scratch that, episode 8 is my favorite episode so far, pretty good stuff here, those demons made this anime a lot more interesting so I hope they don't kill them anytime soon, I like how calculating that demon is, his blood magic thingie is pretty cool too.

5/5 episode, so far I haven't seen any production issues in this anime and I hope it stays that way, we are almost in the 2nd half, and this is the part where the production issues start appearing in lots of animes.

Frieren is ice cold. She took out that demon like it was nothing. Not a single ounce of fear even with her neck wrapped in magic wire and dangling from the rafters. She didn't even change her expression as this young demon tried to act all tough. Using some badass wind attacks to slice off his arms and crush the demons neck. Frieren showing no mercy to demons is amazing I love seeing it. Fern and Stark taking a more direct approach to helping the town. The leader trying again to stop these demons before he himself gets captured. A valiant effort but this demons blood magic is very well trained and not something most humans could handle. Stark did well trying to save the town leader, even as he's trembling again Stark holds fast. He knows these demons are no joke and should be taken seriously. Stark did a great job providing that opening for Fern to blast the demons. They didn't even sense her presence and she landed a solid spell that Frieren taught her. Just as the elf herself goes to confront the demon leader Aura outside town.

This show is phenomenal, definitely best of the season. Freiren the slayer is chapter17 in the manga and the final chapter of volume 2 . I think it just gets better and better, the voice acting is fantastic and the comedy is even better in the anime. I can’t wait to see Freiren and company take on the demons next week.

The fact that Frieren believes that her students can defeat the demons on their own is amazing. When the time comes she's a good teacher and understands very well their level. The fact that she took down that ego manic demon in a few seconds shows how powerful she is. Then we go on to learn she's even more powerful than than she's defeated more demons than anyone she is a slayer of demon-kind.

She also knew that the demons magic is much lower than they think it is. Humanity has been studying their magic and have created spells to defeat them. She helped with that process.

Dang this episode was good.

At first, Freiren running away to avoid justice for killing a guard, leaving her 2 friends to deal with the demon in the town.

Epilogue: Freiren is going off to solo the demon army, who will soon know her as Freiren, the Slayer! Epic.

So Frieren is THE demon slayer. no corps necessary.

I Really like that Fern saw that he was buying time...
It felt like a call back to the previous episode and she listened to her teacher's lesson. Demons don't speak the language of humans to negotiate.

Once her hands were on Dhrat's neck, Frieren wasn't gonna talk about anything. Granat messed up and gave time for Lügner to get more blood from his finger, but he hadn't had the benefit of Frieren's teachings.

"Sousou no Frieren" He said it, he said the phrase, epic moment 🚬

Can't believe a hanging scene is allowed as long as there won't be any death from it lol. Dark Gathering had to make so many angles to imply there was a ghost making people perform hanging on themselves.

again..another superb adaptation that manages to take the few action moments to a "hard to match" height, while always keeping the main emotional topics of human relationss at the center.

not sure which one was my favorite moment of the episode: Fern's look after zoltraaking the shit out of Lugner or...
Frieren s look when at the final scenes.

both were majestic.

Ayyyy that title drop by the end. The confrontation is at hand and the slaying is at Frieren's upeerhand. Hopefully Stark can overcome his fear in time.
