    I get it with Frieren. This season/arc has a different feel than the first. It also has less group chemistry among the main party members so far as Frieren, Fern, and Stark have all been doing separate things. The most recent episode saw them coming together again, but the exam arc just doesn’t have the same “friends on an adventure” feel that the first cour did.

      Yea. I kinda get why they’re doing this exam, but also kinda don’t see why Frieren isn’t just “f that” and go anyway. Feels like they’re not making progress towards their goal, which feels meh.

      And any episode that heavily features Fern pouting as a plot point (which has been a surprisingly commonly used point) I find a little tedious. Just an IRL thing I find very frustrating too. Modeling poor communication in anime and movies is a pet peeve.

      Still enjoying Frieren a bunch though. Just not 10/10 definitive AOTY for this cour.
