Frieren Episode 17 "Take Care" | Reaction/Review

[@emmanuelbustamante6659]

The lesson I get from this chapter is: "If we talk about the things that bother us, the relationship improves." and "Not only children need emotional support."

[@wrexgrafix84]

I just love Frieren and Fern’s relationship … there is genuine love there. It’s funny that depending on the situation, Fern is Frieren’s daughter, older sister, mom, and apprentice. I think both love each other unconditionally. That smile on Fern’s face when Frieren said, “I know” (that you’re not a child) said it all.

[@grimmturd]

It really goes in line with Frieren's reasoning from ep. 2-4 in response to Fern's questioning. 3 times she said she was doing something for herself.

[@antonkarenin7332]

Stark's hand is a nice throwback to episode 6 where Eisen said he was scared how strong Stark is.

[@feral_fenrir]

How so? I assumed it was just how Eisen treated Stark when he was sick too..

[@Nydrin]

@@feral_fenrir He meant how strong his hand was when he put it on Fern's shoulder. Stark doesn't know his own strength and how terrifying he can be.

[@Limpass610]

Also in the episode when him and fern were inquiring about the 2 year travel restriction. There was a scene where stark had his arm around a guy's shoulder, showing him his scar , who looked horrified. That dude was not afraid of the scar. He was petrified that a kid was man handling him with one arm Stark is a beast. Linnie hit him through a castle wall, putting craters on the groung with each swing And stark says " there is no weight behind your hits" Gtfo lol

[@lyq232]

​@@Limpass610 consistently underapreciating your own abilities, that's Stark's unique skill

[@bagelbear69]

If you pay attention to the lyrics of each ED, you'll notice ED 1 is Himmel speaking to Frieren. ED 2 is Frieren replying to Himmel.

[@fjoergyn]

i thought it was the upturned ö.ö

[@pedrinhojacinto]

BACK TO BACK EPISODES???? BLESSED DAY, MUST BE! 💜

[@grimmturd]

The grave during the ED always made me think of Flamme's. It seems she may end up putting flowers around a lot of graves in the future, but that's the first one we've seen her do since ep. 10. Ahh, missing Atsuko Tanaka again.

[@Credemis]

For me, it seemed like Fern’s future grave :’(

[@grimmturd]

@@CredemisI'm pessimistic most of the time, but this series gives me only hopeful vibes. Can't do us dirty like that!

[@javierflores09]

@@Credemis that's a theory that's been around in the community a lot, but I don't think that's the case, mostly because the story is never meant to advance past Fern's death so it doesn't make sense for the ED to express that. I think the director for that OP just took a little too much liberty in expression and confused all of us with it

[@Credemis]

@@javierflores09 I’m not saying it foreshadows Ferns death in the series or anything, I’m saying it shows Frieren outliving Fern, which is the obvious inevitability of their situation.

[@herpderp7114]

@@grimmturd I mean that is actually an optimistic thought - Frieren is going to outlive Fern 100% unless something tragic happens to her. If she is on Ferns grave, then that just means she didn't get killed before her death. Obviously it doesn't rule out the possibility that something tragic happens to Fern, but it doesn't mean that it will either. So in that regard it's neutral.

[@Raidanzoup]

Speaking of parting phrases, in episode 1 Heiter used "sore de ha osaki ni" which the subs aptly translate as "if you'll excuse me". The "sore de ha" is just some "well then" type ish, but the "osaki ni" comes from the phrase "osaki ni shitsurei shimasu" which is a phrase you say to excuse yourself when leaving early. So when he says "I'll be going first" as he leaves in the carriage, that's after he's already informed us he doesn't think he'll meet his companions again before passing from old age. Oh, and there were some cool production tweets about the ED, showing how the stop-motion part had layers of panes of glass holding the different background and foreground elements as Frieren makes her way through the woods.

[@Porvinha]

as soon as I get the notifications I click on it I swear, I'm loving all your reaction series so much, thank you for the video once again! 💜

[@asagi-16]

The Japanese title for this episode, "Take Care," is "Ja Genki de" (a line from Sein at 14:46). While "Genki de" means "Take Care," if I had to be precise, it translates more closely to "Stay Well." So, When someone is going out, if you want to say "take care" in Japanese, saying "Ki wo tsukete" would have almost the same meaning. "'Genki de" can also mean "take care," but it is a phrase used only when you won't be seeing someone for a while.

[@wrexgrafix84]

@@asagi-16 From my understanding, “ki wo tsukete” is more like “be careful” rather than “take care.” If there is some danger, we would say “be careful,” as in “be careful of poisonous snakes.” “Take care” is short for “take care of yourself (as in health),” so it’s close in meaning to “stay well.” ^ - ^

[@joaofelipezini6289]

Im basically rewatching the anime with you guys and its been awesome to see other people's reactions/how they see things.

[@praf1069]

I like the fact that there is less jump cuts in this episode compared to the previous one. And also love your reaction to the new op and ed!

[@Harrybarna]

I'm not emotionally prepared for when Fern dies of old age.... it will destroy me...

[@bobislav85]

Frieren ED 1 and ED 2 are a call and response.

[@Rannos22]

They're two halves of a full song At least how it is in the song's upload here

[@GiulianoVenturo]

It's crazy because I normally never try to read the lyrics and feel the song and that's literally what I felt the first time 😂

[@yuichi1024]

Just start dating already! exactly!!!!!! lmao

[@unknown_318]

16:49 Funny how they worry about Frieren while she's just too lazy to get up

[@equinoxXIII]

The new ending begins at Flamme's grave and Frieren is now scared for the time when Fern dies and how she'll be alone again because she'd talked about Fern growing up this episode. I don't think she realizes that she'll take care of Stark and Fern's future children and grandchildren. So in that sense she'll always have something of Fern.

[@NinjaPopeXue]

All the Sein's were there that he would leave, but it's still sad. Keep it mind it wasn't a tearful goodbye, though. Jya ne! (or in this case, mata ne/mata na!) I love the double meaning in the title: "take care" as in "see you later" and "take care" as in "taking care of someone."

[@generalx13]

You guys are so good at picking up the layers in this show. You dont even have a clue how much forshadowing you guys are sitting on top of. Love your reactions!

[@Raphex5]

Watching this again, it feels like Sein leaving is a completion of his arc of learning to go on the adventure he's always wanted to, but only now finally has the will to do. Also, the ß in Äußerst (and German in general) is read with a kind of "ss" sound rather than the "B" it looks like in English, so it sounds more like Ausserst than Auberst.

[@pwarner]

I can't wait to watch the rest of the season with you all. It's so good. I had the same reaction to the new opening. So exciting. So many new characters! I love this next arc

[@clare_the_pleb456]

I found your channel today, a few hours ago and i was binging your playlist! Thank you for the video ❤❤❤

[@nvdmeerr8448]

The excitement for the OP🤍

[@ShnNar1000x]

Kim's comment about Frieren saying "ja ne" to Old Man Voll is a really good insight and actually goes well with what is revealed in the very last ep of the season, which touches on why Frieren says very short, casual "goodbyes."

[@Mannyveros]

Really cool you guys are picking up on how Frieren goodbyes work haha

[@arnabpati]

Two back to back episodes. Thank you so much (:

[@Moxie326]

So hyped for the next 10 episodes! The new opening and ending reaction was good too, still excited for when you finally see throne elf.

[@AuroraRaiju]

I'm watching this episode after the announcement that John will be leaving the FMA:B reaction and I am having FEELINGS about it. I wish you all the best John and I will be sad to see you go. ❤️

[@leekebot1802]

Itching to see your reactions to the next episode.

ヨルシカは最高だ✨✨ 『春泥棒 (Spring Thief/Haru Dorobou) 』は聴くべき🎧🎶 桜の季節にぴったりな曲🌸

[@sleepingbee8997]

I love the little fight about Stark being too strong, cause it’s such a very human experience. A lot of men remember the moment when they realized how much stronger than women they are, and it usually happens during puberty while horsing around with a girl.

[@_zurr]

Stark milks cows when Fern is sick to help the lady letting them stay in the cabin, showing how much gentler he's become after Fern admonished him for grabbing his shoulder that way.

[@etiennesauve3386]

not so sure, he was like that too in the other village they went to

[@edge1710]

They don't emphasise it, but Fern is a war orphan and probably seen a lot. When Stark put his hand on her shoulder it might have triggered something. I also think her "mood swings" are related.

[@Limpass610]

I kinda forgot that. Some of her behavior sometimes bugs me. But thats my fault its easy to forget that not only was she a war orphan and probably has seen it, She also grew up only with heiter in the woods as well as taking care of him, the house, the food and the cooking by herself. On top of that, trained her magic to the extreme. She's. Been a bit of a robot since she was a kid. Stark is going to have it rough lol

[@kaigaikarano]

I think it just biology things, I had same experience during my puberty back then. I just "casually" grip my first gf (now ex obv) wrist, and she is screaming "Ow!" and said that my grip was too strong for her. To me, it just a small grip, not even 50% power, of course I apologize, but from that day its reminding me that we men and women had different "strenght" afterall.

[@StefKomGeekru]

One day Frieren will see Fern instead of Himmel. That day is not yet here, but it will be hard.

[@Jude-yk9uc]

I absolutely adore you two youre the sweetest ever

[@erik53105]

Hey, i dont know what you guys prefer to watch but i think Violet Evergarden might be something both of you could enjoy ☺ also us as veiwers.

[@WallessJ]

Love your reactions, so genuine and wonderful.

[@lenOwOo]

How can something you just see immediately hits you with nostalgia. . It's mysterious

[@purrfekt]

Sein speaks for all of us XD

[@edcAdventures.]

Yay two episodes in one week :D

[@Olagoob]

Welcome to the 2nd half. It is just as good as the first. New OP is exceptionally comfy.

[@Shtuhtefup]

FYI the feels are about to be a lot more severe because Flamme’s voice actress very recently passed.

[@ObiwanNekody]

5:04 new intro reaction is great, love rewatching it from time to time.

[@natsunimesubs596]

that gravestones in the ed is flamme's gravestones that got replaced by fern as frieren pupil

[@skool999]

I just realized, that "I'll see you again" is in regards to Frieren's travel to Aureole. She's expecting to see Old Man Voll again... in Heaven. I had to see the episode on repeat several times plus see your interpretation of the goodbye at 0:30. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go to my corner and cry 🥲 Edited: spelling

[@johnnynoise7897]

You should listen the full version of the ending. Also i love the second opening so much ❤

[@cy5386]

After seeing your reactions to Sein leaving I REALLLLLY wanna see your reactions to episode 28

[@sweetpixiesmile]

If no one has mentioned it, this "new" ED is actually the second part of millet's song from the previous ED. It's a "Call and Response" song, with the first verse from Himmel's POV, and the second from Frieren's POV. The first half of the season was more about Himmel, the second half more about Fern.

[@fjoergyn]

i like how the shady magicseller looks like the singer from the band Heilung xD When they perform live. One of the best progression in this show is actually Frierens Face. with every episode its literally evolved with more smiles. The saddest sentence in this whole show for my opinion is "i''m used to loosing things"

[@zenmastermtl]

The ED is the 2nd verse of the song. The whole song is really good. Worth watching.

[@Gusttafa]

you should add frieren episode like this everyday ^^

[@IcarusDrowning-gz8se]

It's not Auberst. The letter that looks a bit like a capital B is a German letter which should be read as a double S. It's Ausserst. 😊 Loving your reactions. btw, Frieren and Stein said, "Matta ne," which means, "See you again," or "See you later." I always used to say, "Ja, matta ne," to my wife before sleeping. Ja (or dewa) ne, matta ne, and ja, matta ne, are all casual goodbyes. You can say them in the evening to mean, see you tomorrow, or, see you in the morning, anything with that kind of feeling. Between friends it's like, see you later, or just, laters, if you prefer 🤣 It's a very happy phrase. Ja ne 😘

[@pri_oji]

surely it's difficult to translate また会おう、元気でいてね→shorten🤔→mata-ne or jaa-(mata-)ne so u must be right just addying see u later,again vibes. though, I think it is really same as take care vibe😅

[@sugatmachale]

What's the name of the guy? They never introduce themselves.I really like his observations. Awesome reaction, dude! The girl kinda got it right with goodbyes and stuff. Such a nice reaction.

[@TBoring]

I’m sure we’ll run into Sein again at some point. Someone’s gotta officiate Fern and Stark’s eventual wedding.

[@ObiwanNekody]

Outro song is another verse IIRC. The second outro is really something, isn't it?

[@Zack_Zander]

While it’s 4-5 episodes with Sein, they were adventuring for several months. It’s a mere 4-5 episodes for us, but months for them, yet we’re still affected by it.

[@jmhaces]

From a narrative standpoint it does make sense that Sein just had to go. Despite his "corrupt priest" schtick, my man is just way too mature and centered for this party of lovable dummies. If he'd stayed, he would've had Frieren fully grasping the human condition and Fern and Stark happily married within a couple of years just by giving them solid common-sense advice.

[@MixJamz]

Stark caught Aizen off guard which cause the warrior of the hero party to reflexive lash out at Stark, now imagine the absolute terror Fern must have felt when she got grabbed and didn't expect it

[@EmiJP10]

The new opening is called "Haru" or "Sunny" and is performed bt Yorushika. This is the full version of the song with the lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3ealodpo82skJI The ending is the same song "Anytime, Anywhere" performed by Milet but is the second half of the song.

[@MxMoondoggie]

This is the first time Fern realises how strong Stark is, that he is strong enough to kill her if he really wanted to try and that's a scary thought.

[@andreaguiar7772]

We're getting spoiled like this

[@kkhchannel4813]

Subtle cultural detail, Frieren touching Fern's forehead is how an Asian mom would check on the kids' body temperature back in the day. My mom did that to me when I was a kid.

[@um536vids2]

Fern being freighted of Stark’s grip really makes sense to me. Stark killed a dragon with an axe, even being gentle, his hand is probably like steel.

[@TrueThanny]

Regarding "take care", I believe you're thinking of "itterasshai", which means, more or less, "go and come back safely". The counterpart is "ittekimasu", which means "I'm going but will come back". The equivalent in English in terms of commonality of usage would probably be "I'm heading out" plus "Take care", though there's a lot more variation in English for both phrases.

[@ObiwanNekody]

This isn't Friday! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@nemoatlantis7148]

Kiotsukete take care. and Fern begins to see Stark as a man while Stark has no clue about it.

[@jingiz]

The magical city Äußerst is pronounced oysserst with double ss, no b. It means outermost, probably because the city is on the edge to the northern lands.

[@praf1069]

whattt, didn't expected it to be this soon. I love it

[@wadepsilon01]

Sayonara wa Wakare no Kotoba jya- nakute, Futatabi Au made no Tooi Yakusoku ''Goodbye'' is not a word of farewell, but a distant promise until we meet again. lyrics of my favorite Japanese songs

OK, as a native German speaker, I'll just casually put a few German nouns, verbs and adjectives in the room with their correct translation. frieren- to Freeze. like, i am Freezing fern- far/remote/distant, depending on context stark-strong himmel-sky/heaven, used interchangeable heiter-cheerful eisen-iron flamme-flame draht-wire linie-line lügner-liar sein-be/beeing/his, depending on context kraft-power, sometimes also strong

[@folcwinep.pywackett8517]

Fern and Stark fight like an old married couple. There is a cute picture on the internet. Frieren reads a letter from Fern telling her that she and Stark are on vacation together. So surrounding Frieren are 4 little purple and red haired kids. Fern finishes her letter by telling Frieren to get up early. Frieren looks beyond frustrated.

[@satie321]

Wholesome episode!

[@dovahkiin456]

Let's gooo! New Frieren video!

[@alpzgmz]

Two episodes in a row!? Is it my birthday?

[@MisterNukular]

Frieren is not learning. She is more like adapting. Remember, she lost her village and was trained by a great mage to fight the cause of that loss. She then lived for hundrets of years alone in the wood, was then recruited to fight the demon king and then was alone on a journey again. She needs to adjust herself. And I think she is doing a great job

[@ruuin]

wow, i wasn't expecting one so soon! yass!!

[@jeffreymurillo3131]

Wow she's so adorable

[@ShnNar1000x]

I am still not sure what the closing credits mean. I think that the show/manga will end with Frieren losing Fern, who will die of old age. Maybe then Frieren will begin another journey to Ende, to see Fern in the afterlife. But given the themes of the show and the whole purpose of Frieren's journey, I can't see it not ending in this way. At the least, we know that Frieren (assuming nothing happens to her and Fern) will watch the little girl who has become her child age from a little girl to a young woman to an old woman and death.

[@windwalker5765]

Note that Stark didn't carry her over his shoulders... the way he was holding her? It's called a "bridal carry."

[@SealSenpai]

The 2 endings are from the same song, it's just 2 different parts.

[@Odysee89]

im ready for tears in this dying heat 🔥😭

[@SealSenpai]

Ya'll should make a patreon for people who want full reactions and other stuff like that!

[@bill0g]

I've been wanting to ask them this too. But seeing their past posts, IDK how regular they can post on Patreon. They might not be comfortable having a Patreon but not a regular post schedule. But, hopefully they make one.

[@SealSenpai]

@@bill0g That's true, but if they could keep a regular upload schedule on patreon, they'd be able to earn some extra money from people who want to support them and also grow the community, as I tend to only watch reactions on patreon with full videos. This is the only channel that I watch on youtube.

[@SealSenpai]

And if they can't keep up a regular schedule because of life, then they could always make it a cheaper price that people can pay for, just for the full reactions.

[@fershowfershow3164]

I always will say first OP and second are good BUT the second OP is better and the second Ending is the best one there is no comparison between the second and the first Ending edit btw I know you will love those new characters and I know what specific character you gonna love since this episode everthing´s gonna be better and better

Since the first 4 episodes were released as a single prologue episode, this episode is the middle of the season. It also kinda slight fits with an arc change.

[@ジャス-q4q]

so Fern is 16 at this point

[@carlrigney3008]

Fern had an 18th birthday in an earlier episode. I think they're treating the age of adult as 21. She turned 16 in episode 3.
