OH MOTHERFUCK THIS EPISODE :__;

batman831

Frieren did say elves don't experience romantic or sexual urges. So she might not even realize what's going on because she is basically ace and Himmel might be aware of that and so didn't want to make things awkward. Not saying that ace people can't be in relationships either. It just might look different.

is it really that bad to support a straight relationship? ya know, the thing that the vast majority of people conform to? im all for gay relationships i think its great both media and real life but lets be realistic lol

Ashley Twigg

ugh i hate that they’re making me support a mlw relationship but i literally have to they’re deadass soulmates

AlfredoFetus

I'm sure if/when they get to watching Legend of Vox Machina (hopefully after Invincible), Kenny's gonna go OFF on the DnD trivia. And I'll be here for it.

HBelmont 24

Sein: "When it comes to us men, we couldn't care less about trivial dates, you know." Speak for yourself, Sein!

HBelmont 24

Frieren was THAT person in high school. 🤣🤣

HBelmont 24

Frieren, waking up in a cold sweat 80 years later: "Wait, was Himmel flirting with me?"

TheWerdna

This was an incredibly wholesome and emotional episode from and already wholesome shoe, so I have no inkling or idea why Montana decided to bring up Invincible towards the end. Kinda killed the vibe, ngl, and I sort of hope that discussion gets cut for YouTube, no offense.

H-Bomb 24

cannot wait for episode 21 around 13 mins 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Victor Velazco

The clock in between them hurts . time being the only thing that kept them apart

David Camacho

There NEEDS to be a Fern Pout or Grumpy Fern Counter for this show on YouTube. 😤😅

H-Bomb 24

"Right people, wrong time" I have seen this with my sister and her husband They dated YEARS ago, but they broke up. Then, years after the fact they ended up getting back together and are now married for a number of years now with two handsome boys!

Jinchuriki87

3:50 Stark sounds just like Sokka here. 🤣

H-Bomb 24

My favorite episode of the series in terms of feels period! This Anime is truly a work of art.

Volond

What are you on about 💀

Bryan

Bro, this is not your life or relationship. Please stop talking.

H-Bomb 24

Yesss apothecary diaries next please!

Hi Kenny, bit of a random question but you mentioned once you were watching One Piece on your own time and I was just wondering what episode you're on? :)

wanira 11

im so confused, what exactly are you upset about?

Ratus Ratus

I very much disagree, if I’m out of high school but still 18 or 19, I am still a teenager, I had my first date at 19 but I still think I was rly young and didn’t know much about it despite only being 22 now, I still think I was a “dumb teenager”

Lui the Bean

hell nawww dawg your reasoning is so weird. Frieren is like a mother/sister figure to Fern so her getting jealous of Stark holding her is the most weird shit i've heard. The show did the comedy bit perfectly. It shows how sheltered Fern is and how protective she is for Frieren.

CRuEL_WOrlD

Was gonna come down to say this, it's my favorite episode, and I was itching for this reaction for the ring scene, made me cry then, and teared up today.

Izrail Gevorgyan

I liked that idea as well, but I don't think Fern would have realised that she was feeling 'jealous' at the idea, rather that jealousy would have been subconscious and he mind came up with the idea that she must not like the idea because 'Stark is a pervert'

Yoshy Moshy

Yeah, more or less. We learned during the Aura arc that it was Flamme's favorite spell and one that she taught Frieren shortly before her death. It also seemed to imply it was the only non-combat spell Flamme ever taught her. Also yes it's importance continue to be noted further on.

David L

I think of it as elves having demisexuality as the default. Sexual urges are extremely rare, while romantic feelings take a very long to bloom just because of how elves perceive time

Murky Muse

The way Himmel looks at frieren and the way she remembers him. heartbreakinggggg

Limini

the love and affection is so gentle and sincere and kind in this show 💕💕💕

Limini

NICE!!! I took it only SLIGHTLY different. I saw it as “the ONLY thing BETWEEN them, is Time”…. but!!!!, I do like your interpretation as well!! LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

Sergio

Not sure either but I do remember the same thing, so I'm pretty sure you're correct!

Robin B

Awwww

H-Bomb 24

What? We started dating at 18 I’m confused

Letts React

Montana said that after or during this discussion and it’s SUCH a good detail

Letts React

We didn’t :)

This is my FAVORITE episode of the season. Himmel has the most pure form of love for Frieren. It would be awful to love someone so insanely much but know that they are multiple times the span of your own lifetime. Himmel loved her so much that he didn't want to shackle her down at all in her long life by pushing his love onto her.

L.C.

Fern doesn't want Stark to hold Frieren, simply because she thinks he is a pervert. From his hand gestures it made Fern uncomfortable with a boy holding Frieren, she feels protective of Frieren and therefore doesn't feel a boy carrying her was a safe choice. That's why I like their reasoning better cause it makes it a cuter reason rather than a weird or for sake of comedy reason.

Teib _21

I always believe a strong aspect of what makes you who you are, and how you can emotionally develop, is through experiencing conversations with others and reflecting upon it. When looking to Frieren it makes so much sense that her emotional maturity or at least emotional comprehension is much lower than her years lived because she has been alone for so so so much of her hundreds of years alive. Her elf family was murdered when even flamme could identify her as a child. She was with flamme for max. 80 years of flamme's life. After that she was all alone until himmel chose to look for her. Frieren is finally at a point where she is able to reflect on past conversations and gain emotional intelligence. I think as well that the exposure that she has watching Fren and Stark interact and develop along side of Frieren is rapidly accelerating that process for her as well.

amaya mix

If I remember correctly, Frieren did not specifically learn the flower creation smell for Himmel, it’s a spell she already knew. POTENTIAL SPOILER: I think it’s a spell Flamme taught her and Himmel liked the spell a lot. Those reasons are why later it is revealed to be Frieren’s favorite spell. Is that correct? Someone fact check me.

Alseriph

I love Kenny explaining D&D halfway through the episode. I would’ve love to see how Montana would react if you started also going into Rogue or Artificer lol

Alseriph

What's the "canon reason?" 🤨

H-Bomb 24

I like your reasoning for why Fern doesn't want to let Stark hold Frieren better than the canon reason, it makes it cuter.

Teib _21

Which is why I first made my request weeks ago. Hopefully, it caught on.

H-Bomb 24

I'd say that what we tend to think of as "maturity" really just boils down to social experience. The more you interact with people the more you build up and the easier it is to to deal with new situations. In Frieren's case, despite her age in number she spent ~1000 years as a hermit, so not only did she basically stay emotionally stunted for that entire time but it then made it a lot harder to contextualize the short 10 years she spent travelling with Himmel and the others. Most of her maturing was probably done back when Flamme was still alive, so yeah I'd agree with something like early-mid 20s still trying to figure out how to function as an individual.

David L

I would imagine that for a long lived species romance is always something that can go on the back burner because you have plenty of time compared to the average species.

Darthwin Wright

The point Frieren made about the demon spell of flight recontextualizes the episode where they fought Qual. Qual took notice of Frieren flying because it was an exclusively demon spell the last time he was awake around 80 years ago.

H-Bomb 24

In episode 7 frieren states that elves don't seek out romantic urges like normal people do so her realizing that the ring hemmle got her for a gift made her more realize how he felt in the time of him giving her the ring

Babybear47

you cant say "teenagers when we started dating" because 19 isnt young to date, your tone of voice made it clear it was more like 15-16

cade-carter

It's so fun seeing Kenny explaining DnD to Montana, as it's interesting to me, as well. My little brother's into DnD, and I try to brush up what I can.

H-Bomb 24

While Frieren's ring and Fern's bracelet may both be based on a mirrored lotus, the designs are actually different. Frieren's ring from Himmel has a closed bloom, signifying the love that never was. 🥲 Fern's bracelet from Stark, on the other hand, has an open blossom. Do with that what you will . . .

H-Bomb 24

Looove apothecary diaries

Eileen Hinman

I mean, I'd be kinda disappointed, but my heart's not set on it THAT much. 😅

H-Bomb 24

I just know HBomb is gonna go ballistic and crash out next week if they aren’t dressed up for ep15 😭 might actually get banned he’s gonna go so crazy

Matthew Jobin

Thanks for answering my question :) the “proposal” is my favorite moment in the show so I definitely had to get a question in for yall this episode

Cyrus_tha_Virus

Y'all gotta watch the edits for the scene now. "In the language of flowers it means eternal love"

MaSeshield9277

I always thought that the thing about not having romantic and/or sexual attractions is just her own bias because her own experiences and not really a fact about the elfs, they just experience those feelings different because of how much they live and is like time slow downs with them.

Ecodude

You guys should totally react to Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. It’s not too long but it’s a pretty good show. I think you guys would like it.

Asheepslife

I still listen to Zoltraak and Dragon Smasher a lot while working/gaming/cooking

David Bodor

it's PEAK

Butthead faxe

40:45 - Wow, I think she's like ~22 at most. She still gives teenager/kid vibes sometimes in her mannerisms and the way she acts, kinda like how a young adult person who is on the doorstep to proper adulthood would sometimes still act younger.

David Bodor

Himmel was not the love of Frieren's life, but she was the love of his. 🥲

H-Bomb 24

Priest in the house is my favorite bit

MaSeshield9277

I've been thinking of giving that one a watch. It looks intriguing, plus the clips of the English dub I've seen look REALLY funny.

H-Bomb 24

It's called Mirrored Lotus, and yeah. It's one of the best tracks in the show. 🎶 ❤️

H-Bomb 24

36:27 - Yeah, as tragic as it is, Frieren was not at a point yet where she could understand Himmel. Sein calls her a child this ep for not understanding relationships, Kraft also said Frieren was young, I feel like she just was not yet at a point in her life where she could reciprocate Himmels feelings the same way, it took her 80 more years to start to understand, I can't wait to see them meet again, however it happens it will 140% going to make me sob, I just know it.

David Bodor

I also reallyyy hope they watch apothecary diaries, drama and mystery with a side of romance as a treat i think they'd love it

Butthead faxe

I love this episode. When himmel gets on one knee for frieren in the background in between them is the clock tower. Like Time is the only think stopping them from being with each other 😭

Maya Atkinson

The music in the entire show is spectacular but i love the OST when she casts the spell to locate the ring and Himmel gets on one knee. It's amazing.

Phantom Egg

Just makes me want them to watch a good romantic comedy anime like Horimiya or Love is War. ❤️

H-Bomb 24

The clock tower symbolizing time coming between them.

Justin Johnson

My favourite detail of this ep is notoriously hard to wake up Frieren getting up by herself in the middle of the night every day to search for that ring...it really means a lot to her.

David Bodor

Got to remember according to Frieren, elves neither have romantic or sexual attractions so she was always unable to reciprocate Himel's feelings. So while she clearly cared about him it was never in the way he felt

Historia-Europa

Agreed

H-Bomb 24

this is easily my favorite episode! my own giggling at stark and fern counter and tearing up at a flashback counter are through the roof.

Addy

Head pats in anime>>>>>

Erin Ryan

I love your reactions to romance in anime haha its so sweet

Erin Ryan

Welcome aboard the Stern ship, Montana! ❤️💜🚢

H-Bomb 24

That perfect shot as Himmel knelt... And framed between them? A clock tower. The only thing truly keeping them apart is time.

Hawk

they probably already filmed tho lol

Butthead faxe

omg right

Butthead faxe

Please dress up for next episode, please dress up for next episode . . .

H-Bomb 24
