Frieren Ep. 29: I trust you with my life

2 Replies

Frieren finds a magic-nullifying stone that is supposedly worth a fortune. As you can imagine, something like that would render her and Fern rather helpless. As a result, Fern wants them to get rid of stone as soon as possible. My first thought is, Isn’t that a bit drastic? I mean, they do have a warrior capable of slaying a dragon. Why not rely on Stark to protect them until they can properly sell it? But Frieren turns the crystal into a light show before quickly following Fern’s advice. Unfortunately, they can’t avoid the crystals that easily, because the party soon stumbles upon an entire cave network full of said magic-nullifying crystals. It’s practically a gold mine. And also, the women have no choice but to rely on Stark now.

The Holy Grail of Eris Ep. 2: An unexpectedly tantalizing mystery

Leave a reply

I’m enjoying this show more than I thought I would. I’m also digging the world-building. High society isn’t all dainty women and gallant men. Rather, it’s seedy and grimy, full of sordid affairs and shadowy encounters. This is more of a mystery than your standard villainess anime. Scarlett has Constance running to and fro, gathering evidence and generally sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Problem is, it sounds like Scarlett’s former friend had already tried this. Perhaps due to being a shrewd woman, Lily Orlamunde dug too deep and learned too much. Whatever she uncovered eventually drove her to commit suicide. People usually take their own life to prevent themselves from even greater suffering. So assuming Lily wasn’t depressed, what sort of horrendous future was she trying to prevent?

Sentenced to Be a Hero Ep. 2: The heroes yearn for the mines

Leave a reply

We last left off with Xylo’s foreboding promise: “I’ll find you. I’ll find the one who set up me and my Knights. The one responsible for Senerva’s fate. I’ll find you… and I will kill you.” He said this as he was sentenced to be a hero. Buuuuuuuttttttt that’ll all have to wait, because he and his fellow heroes have a new mission: clearing out the nearby Zewan Gan Tunnels. After all, if he or any of the heroes disobey, they’ll lose their heads. It makes you wonder, then, if Xylo even has a plan. As long as the “Temple folk” have the power to detonate the seals around their necks, what can he do? How can he possibly even make any move against them? In fact, how long has it been since he was condemned to this fate. Does he even feel strongly about getting revenge anymore? Assuming he does, at some point, we need an arc where Xylo operate independently. Maybe that’ll be the final arc of the season.

Tamon’s B-Side Ep. 3: Two-faced

Leave a reply

Utage is now caught between wanting to keep her beloved Tamon pure versus acknowledging the fact that she has an indelible amount of influence over him. She can pick and choose what he wears (like that necklace). She can even influence how he acts onstage and on TV. I wish she was more of a corruptor even if she only does it inadvertently. That would make this show a lot more interesting. But instead, she just wants to be one of the countless, faceless fans he already has. On that note, do fans ever contemplate what the end would look like? Like you can’t keep stanning the guy forever, right? Idols retire and get replaced all the time. Idols get married all the time. At some point, your fandom has to face its mortality. But maybe it’s one of those things where you just don’t think about it until you have to.
