The Mage Exams Arc are so underrated. I love it personally as it gives us a more in depth look into how magic has evolved over time, how some magics can counter others, and how the ranking system of mages is presented. Love the reactions and looking forward to the next video as it can't come any sooner!
Is it underrated? It's one of my favourites, and it introduces many fan favourite characters. I think it balances between being the contemplative side of Frieren with all the meaningful flashbacks with Flamme and Himmel, and everyone's character study, and the entertaining (more mainstream, one might say) exciting actiony scenes, that could invite new audiences who are not deep into Frieren's more quiet scenes. And it's cleverly written, so to me it's one of the best.
@@tacocat-tacocat When you read manga one chapter on release, sometime it does feels like filler, but when you keep reading further, every arc/mini arc is actually essential to the next big arc. Every arc reveals new lore and characters that's gonna be important in the future.
To add to that, animals always have been attracted to Fern. Like seed rats, when they were looking for flowers, or a cat, when Fern was following Frieren on her birthday.
@@takonaegi2967Yeah, i only realize that on 2nd time watching the series. Since little, Fern shown meditated while animals come to her. That explain how she catch Stille faster than Frieren.
Oh, a mage with experience in combating demons in the north, with magic that is underhanded, designed to win? Now, who does that remind me of, exactly?
German here for some explanation about the Word Übel. Übel will be, most of the time, used as a word describing Nausea (like pregnancy-nausea or to much drinking). But in this kind of way its used to describe something less than Evil. its kind like a early stage of evil. I guess the difference is the "i kill you only when i must to" or when the joy of killing is not complete manifested instead of "i kill you anyway and don't give a fck"
The thing you said at the beggining about "they wouldn't talk about the barrier if it wasn't going to be relevant" is totally right! Its actually something called "Chekhov's Gun", wich is the ideia that in a book or any kind of media everything that you as the autor introduces should be relevant to the story in some way.
Amazing reaction. I can't remember if the anime mentions who Ehre's grandfather is (I think it might in the last episode), but it's not exactly just a throwaway line about how outdated ferns fighting style is. Can't wait for you to react to the next episode with Ubel and Wirbel's fight (and the other fights between the two parties as well). Also Denken is smart af, he's definitely one of the strongest mages in the exam (even without his intelligence).
you'll get a lot of answers to your questions in the next couple episodes and learn a lot more about some of mages that were just introduced. There is also a lot of info on magic combat tactic and specifically how a lot of the contemporary mages use magic
told you that you would just want to watch the next episode right after the first. you will probably end up wanting to do such until it's over. it's so good.
Funny thing is, when you describe Ubel as giving you a really uneasy, icky feeling, it's perfect because that's basically what her name means. 'Evil', 'Sick', 'Wrong, 'Gross'...those are the sorts of connotations that word has. Just a very negative, unsettling sort of bottom-of-the-stomach feeling.
I don't think I have been in anticipation of the next episode as much as I am now, even with the original airing. I had read the manga so I knew what was coming next, but in this case I don't know how they will react to the next few...
Kim isn't actually far of with her "Look how still she is!" Stille is the German word for "Silence". If you want to interpret the flow of Mana into your surroundings as noise the only way to attract the Stille is to be Silent with your Mana.
The way i interpreted ferns conversation with the other mage is that fern has learned a lot more complicated magic as well, but theres no reason to use anything other than basic attacks cause why bother casting big complicated spells when you can just shoot a quick laser at them and be done with it and save your mana
You're very perceptive to want to watch ep 20 immediately after seeing this one, because you suspect it will resolve a lot of questions. Woah boy, does it ever. Seriously, you're going to have a _lot_ to discuss after all the revelations to come. I can't wait to see and hear your reactions to what you learn about the world of magic and Frieren's past (I think you'll probably have already watched it by this time, but I won't get more specific than that, just in case).
Not particular, she only admit to show minimum strenght. They both hide their mana, so they use the same tactic against the mages. Lure them in security with simple attacks, so they dont get scarred and get suspicious. Its a good tactic and Frieren prevents the other parties targeting Fern if she doesnt stand out so much.
hi!! we are so sorry about this, but our mic actually stopped working part way through recording so we had to use our back up audio which sadly is not the greatest quality :( we got everything fixed for future episodes but we are sorry about this one !
hi!! you are so right about this & we are super sorry! our mic decided to stop working on us about halfway through so we had to use our backup audio which is not the greatest quality sadly 🙃 but we can promise you this is not the new norm for our channel :) ! sorry again !!
@@FTF-Media Thank you very much for your answer. I completely understand, it can happen to have technical problems. Despite everything, I love your channel and your reactions so keep it up and I look forward to the rest. And otherwise, for your future reactions to come, I would like to suggest two anime that I love: One Punch Man and Death Note. And if later you intend to react to animated films too, I would like to recommend Your Name. There you go, I wish you a good day and send you hello from France.
Are you guys parents? Cuz both of your guys' jokes kept making me cringe so hard, all I could think was how perfect you two would be as embarrassing parents 😂 I mean that in the best way possible, I promise 😅
Frieren is so back!!!!
❤
😁
👍
Guys, please consider "The Legend of Vox Machina" next. I think you'll really like it. 3rd season coming out in October.
I think u need to add wistoria on your reaction channel
Random character: *accidentally trips and falls*
Kim: "UBEL DID THAT"
To be fair. Übel literally translates to „bad“.
Fern: have you heard of Lugner?
Ehre: no
Fern: you're welcome
"It's enough to defeat mages of this era" is such a sick burn when it comes from someone who has genuinely seen a millenia of mages come and go.
That line, "Lawine is rough but she pulls me along with her," is actually a pun on her name, which is the German word for Avalanche.
“It’s like fighting my grandfather” I hope they’ll catch on what she meant by that in the future.
Such a great detail 😊
At first it seems like an insult, in the end it is a huge compliment
@@benedict_tamago yeah, but seemingly only a few reactors catch on to that, remember, or bother to mention it.
@@bill0g It's a minor background detail and most are fighting tears when it flashes briefly across the screen...
@@ObiwanNekody Oh, I definitely get that. I’m just hoping they’ll catch on to it and mention if if they did.

I kinda missed Kim’s high pitched “Frieren!!!” whenever John asks her what they’re watching. 😂
Random farmer's crops wither
Kim : I BET IT'S BECAUSE OF UBEL
xD
"Your style is old"
"Your style is useless "
"Uh?"
Fern: Brrrrrrrrrrrr mode: on
Machine gun mode on 🗿
Fern have all gun in her magic. Sniper mode, machine gun mode, bomb mode 😂😂😂
Fern: Perception 100, Stealth 100, Ability Haste 100, Pouty Face 100
You forget that Fern is hard to detect, Frieren had a hard time looking for Fern in ep2 in the forest and Lugner was taken by surprise in ep 8
To add to that, animals always have been attracted to Fern. Like seed rats, when they were looking for flowers, or a cat, when Fern was following Frieren on her birthday.
@@takonaegi2967Yeah, i only realize that on 2nd time watching the series.

Kim has discovered Chekhov's gun
That has to come up later,
@@TheM8 I'm pretty sure it's a red herring.
John jumping in disbelief when the ED starts will never get old, it's so fun!
Me when Übel is on the screen: 🧎♂️
What übel thinks about you: ✂️✂️
@@hulmhochberg8129 and I wouldn't have it any other way
Ubel is hot. 😎
ahh, that's "I can fix her" feelilngs
@@nemoatlantis7148 naah, most Übel fans belong to the "she can ruin me" camp
In earlier episodes Fern was shown to have good connection to animals. They were coming to her all the time. Capturing the Stille is the pay-off.
Oh, a mage with experience in combating demons in the north, with magic that is underhanded, designed to win? Now, who does that remind me of, exactly?
Ur mum

Haven’t started watching, all I can recall about this episode is that Denken is a boss.
"himmel's symbol is a blue flower, right?"
*Kim will remember this.*

That accidental f bomb was hilarious
Denkin is great, and his motivations behind becoming a first class mage are truly golden.
I see what you did there 😉
@@cavinchon1I have no idea whatsoever what you mean. 😉
badass grandpa that we deserve
I love your reaction guys. This is the Frieren reaction I'm always waiting! Season 2 is now in production, so let's look forward to that!
14:03 - For a second I was associating "Eisen" with Aizen Sosuke from Bleach and was thoroughly confused 😂
"Infused mana water? So the stille's stay away from them??" Holy Goddess on high! That call! Epic!
Amazing reaction.

Fern being quiet attracts animals because they cannot detect her mana.
I don't think I have been in anticipation of the next episode as much as I am now, even with the original airing. I had read the manga so I knew what was coming next, but in this case I don't know how they will react to the next few...
Thank you for sharing 😊
Next episode is one of my favorites for sure.
😅 John in his Redshirt is making me nervous.
Stark: best boy
Übel: best toxic queen
"Denken" means "to think". And I think you can see why^^
Kim isn't actually far of with her "Look how still she is!"
Stille is the German word for "Silence". If you want to interpret the flow of Mana into your surroundings as noise the only way to attract the Stille is to be Silent with your Mana.
2:06 🤔 can’t wait for them to realize the obvious … 💧 and the waterbender girls

6:45 crone on a throne ;)
I'm not crying anymore because its Freiren, I'm crying because John will soon be gone 😭
They didn't say that they attacked her first, and they definitely didn't manage to hurt her.

lmao, the mii references!
In the next episode you'll learn how magic works in this universe!
The mic quality sounds different compared to past videos. Did you forget to edit it or turn on the filter?
hi!! we are so sorry about this, but our mic actually stopped working part way through recording so we had to use our back up audio which sadly is not the greatest quality :( we got everything fixed for future episodes but we are sorry about this one !
I see, that's unfortunate. I am glad that it got fixed.
Thanks for this new reaction but I just wanted to point out that the sound is really bad compared to usual.
