The Cute Aggression Is REAL.. Frieren - S1E15 - Smells Like Trouble

[@NileSwimmer]

Stark absolutely swept Fern off her feet with the dancing. The moment where she looked at him with utter shock and then found herself smiling - such a rare occurrence...

Oh yeah, she couldn't keep the dress after because of the wet spot she left on it.

According to Keiichiro Saito (director of Frieren), the dance were drawn without CG. Big shoutout to Myoun, the key animator of the dance scene!

[@bobsickle2336]

It's rotoscoped from live action dancing.

[@mysticfox1663]

@@bobsickle2336 He didn't use rotoscoping ( basically tracing for those that don't know) . He drew it freehand while watching the choreographed dance - which is extremely impressive. He must've been very impassioned.

17:29 "How did they pull so many emotions in one episode?" That's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End for you!

[@equinoxXIII]

The dance scene is all hand drawn so they didn't use cgi like in other animes and that makes it even better! Stark has no idea what he's doing to Fern with those dance moves. If you notice that Fern only genuine smiled with Frieren in episode 3 with her birthday but now only with Stark and that saying a lot for someone so stoic. Knowing Frieren she has no idea what's happening between them and that she'll be the grandma to their future children and grandchildren 😂 They better have kids so that Frieren will never be alone!

[@fjoergyn]

indeed. Evan Cal just develope a own waltz just for this scene.

[@SonesBen]

Sein: "I can only keep you awake for five seconds." Frieren: "More than I need."

[@karottenkopf1520]

I think it's very cute that the younger son is called "Mut" as in the german word for "bravery".

[@viniciusjesus2867]

All thinghs on this show is german inspired.

[@Catalos693]

It also resembles the English word Mutt lol

[@BS-jg7dy]

This is the episode that got me. The father just coming up out of nowhere to talk with Stark and then the reveal of his son and everything with that made the world feel more grounded and realistic within this fantasy world that things happen independently from Frieren. The animation of the dance scene is so spectactular as well, I feel the storyboarding is great here also, scenes feel unique.

[@MrSmee-vt7cy]

Broad spectrum of emotions as the Stark n' Fern ship sails on

[@scott644]

"That really doesn't suit you," she says with a smile that lights up the room. And then they danced. And then when Sein finally looks to acknowledge Frieren as an older woman... crash and burn. Meanwhile, Stark and the lord each got a bit of emotional closure in their respective life traumas.

[@darkangel8192]

Such a cute episode, but I love how Frieren was so busy eating cake that she didn't even bother to choose what grimore she wanted while Stark and Fern were going through three whole months of training.

[@artboymoy]

As far as the group goes, Friren is the party leader now, taking Himmel's position, Stark is Eisen, Fern is Frieren and Sein is Heiter. But yeah, Frieren is watching Fern as her stand in and Stark as Himmel's. Adorbs.

[@thexavier666]

I thing I don't understand is in the previous team, Himmel was a "hero" while Eisen was a "frontliner". How are these two roles different? Both seem to be physical in nature.

[@smilesmile5789]

​@@thexavier666both of their roles are to be a vanguard. Eisen can tank many kinds of attack, while himmel speed and attack is quite deadly.

[@artboymoy]

@@thexavier666 I think the frontliner is meant to be like a tank and take on a large number of enemies or draw the attention where the hero is the leader and strategist and fully capable, but more precise.

[@Cibanti]

@@thexavier666 from what I've heard from people who know Japanese, the word to describe Himmel's class can mean "brave" or "hero" so maybe they should have used brave instead of hero in the translation for Himmel's job/class/role. And from flashbacks and stuff seems like this "brave" class is a high DPS melee fighter (kinda like what assassins would be in certain games), while warrior isn't as focused on DPS (doesn't mean they can't kill, it just will take them longer) but it has much higher survivability with high defense, vitality and endurance and all those defensive stats.

[@starkillahx]

​@@Cibanti Hero works just as well, most jrpgs main characters function the same as himmel

Another episode I still love to see again and again and again. I like the first part, but I really love the focus on giving Stark and Fern such a great moment.

[@levisiem4145]

Actually it wasnt convient in a wrong sense that the carriage driver had that spell. He literally was a accessories merchant so it made sense he had something like that with him.

[@genesishep]

Actually, Stark's father didn't tell his older brother that it was a waste of time he told his older brother not to "pick on" him. So while he was cruel by calling him a failure he was also protective of him with the older brother even though the older brother was kind and there was no need to be protective. It's something I've that very few reactors have caught because it was so brief.

[@midnight1672]

I was going to comment on this. While I don't have any concrete evidence on this (maybe the manga or future episodes will clear it up) I get the impression that Starks father wasn't quite as bad as Stark remembers him. His impressions are colored by his own flawed perceptions and his insecurities. In the same way that he feels like he "fled town like a coward" when it was actually his big brother who asked him to run.

[@moonlight-sunriize]

@@midnight1672 this!! i do love the flashback scene in one of the previous episodes where it showed Stark's older brother actually telling him to run rather than Stark simply just running away. it made the situation have more depth imo.

[@HaydrogenBomb]

Is this in the dub, too?

[@kidkaptain]

Idk what the subtitles say but Im Japanese and he quite literally says “it’s a waste of time” LOL

This episode was perfection, absolutely flawless

[@kqyrtic]

starks axe is aisens axe from the beginning its why when we see him he doesnt have the axe but stark has it instead since he was getting older and could no longer wield the axe so he gave it to stark

[@scalien225]

You made me so made cutting out the the best parts of the dance I had to join the patreon. Good job.

[@UltraHD.7]

"Mut" is the german word for "courage", so it has nothing to do with dirt 😉 It´s pronounced like "moot", with a long "oo".

[@dawnfallon6812]

One of the very few episodes that doesn't have Himmel in a flashback. And for such a simple plot in what would normally be a filler episode, it manages to not only wreck us emotionally, but also advance the story and character development.

[@sakshamv26]

Never clicked so fast before, I was waiting for this even though I've only watched a ton of clips of this anime yet, one of the best dances in anime and CGI well used

[@grumpysanta6318]

Hey, if you want to have fun shipping them, Stark + Fern could be Stern - which is German for star.

[@the_longdancer2787]

All the names in this Anime are German words. Mut = Courage/ Frieren = to freeze/ Stark = Strong/ Fern= Far/ Sein= to be Do you remember the demon Fern fought in Ep9? Lügner = Liar The hero party: Himmel= Sky/ Heiter= delightful/ Eisen= iron

Himmel can also be heaven…

In my thoughts, you ladies calculatingly uploaded this lovely episode on V-Day🤍🩷❤️🤣🤣. I was just like Miss Samoo watching this one, it was definitely one of my favorites from this beautiful series so far. Stark looked so handsome and clean in his formal outfit, I liked him with his hair sleeked back. Fern was looked so beautiful in her white gown, and that dance was on some classic Disney timing. The animation was on full drip during that scene.
