Before this episode, I wondered how they would handle a long fight sequence. After this episode, I thought "Why did I even question it? It was handled the same way as everything else." That is to say, about as well as or better than any anime that I have ever watched. I agree with you 100% that it just seems so effortless. To use a music parallel, the mark of a great musician is the make something insanely difficult look effortless. Frieren makes creating a wonderfully engaging anime with great story, character development, animation and OST look effortless. I am so enjoying watching the series a second time through you and hearing your thoughts. It makes me think about somethings that I miss at times. I agree with how you talked about its not always pure strength that wins. Despite being a fantasy setting, that adds another layer of realism that draws you into the world setting. The Villains are so well done in the series too. They are as well crafted and created as the protagonists. Again, I feel like I just keep saying this in every comment, the attention to detail in everything is just mind blowing. Re-watching it makes me appreciate it all even more. I have to say that this anime has charted #1 on MAL since it started. I wondered if I would agree with that when I started the anime but by this point in this series, I was finding myself wanting to agree with it lol. I will be here for episode 10 next week.

Stark is a warrior, he's supposed to be tough so I'm not worried xD Bluterei - a word you can use for 'Bleeding' but not commonly used (Lügner's signature magic) Erfassen - Capture (Linie's signature magic) Loved the discussion and reaction, looking forward to next week!

Ahhh, yes, the translations really work for their characters -- the "capture" translation is definitely interesting! Thank you for the comment and kind words! So excited for the upcoming week! :)

I loooooooved how the action was handled this episode ! And yes, that parallel to a musician and their craft is spot on – everything here feels so natural and that’s part of the overall appeal for sure! I love the themes and how they’re subverting and complicating what we think we’ve seen in other stories. Thank you for the kind words, too! The villains are really engaging and I’m excited to eventually re-watch the series to see little bits and pieces a second time. I definitely can see why it charted! It’s one of those series with a banging straight-out-of-the-gate pilot, then lets you soak in the ambiance, and then cranks up the heat – and I’m living for it! Thank you for the comment!! Excited soooo much for next week!
