What a great episode this week.

  • Denken gets to channel his inner Chumbawamba and gets knocked down, but he gets up again.
  • Frieren gets to show off in an extremely showy way, basically announcing to all the entrants, the proctors, and even Serie that she is here and hasn't lost a step from her demon king fighting days.
  • Kanne finally gets to utilize the rain that has been teased for a couple episodes now to basically spirit bomb Richter.
  • Stark gets to live his best life with no rules.

The animation this episode was gorgeous. One thing I especially want to point out is that I loved the way they animated Frieren breaking the barrier. It was so colorful and dynamic! In the manga, it is drawn much simpler (ch. 45, pp. 4-5). Also, I loved how Sense has an umbrella at the ready while Genau is done in by his confidence in the barrier and is left standing in the rain.

Looking forward to round 2 of the exam! I haven't been re-reading the manga until after an episode airs, and I frankly don't remember a lot of the details of the next round. So, it's probably as close to going in blind as I can be.
