Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 4
⚡ ALL REVIEWS
it's quite boring because in the end it's never a real date between them
Human relationship explored. Heartfelt episode. Deeply relatable. World developed. Feelings Enjoyed.
A slow episode even for Frieren. Stark and Fern navigate an awkward date while Frieren handles the advice. No action, just character psychology and social growth. It focuses on the 'why' behind their behavior. Fern looks so cute tho. Perfect for fans of character vibes.
Finally a bit of romance after Himmel and Frieren. Didn’t expect Fern and Stark to go on a date (I’m not a manga reader), but their dynamic is so cute. Hope we get to see more of their romance. Plus, loved the soundtrack during Frieren’s fight. It’s already on my playlist.
In the first 10 minutes, we're treated to a date scene between Stark and Fern, and despite the slow pace, the harmony and warmth of the date are truly felt. Although the epic battle scene near the end is only about 2 minutes long, it was not surprising.
I think it is safe to say that this episode serves as a definitive sweet spot for the series, a successful balance of nuanced storytelling. It is divided into two contrasting yet engaging scenes, and those eager for action not subtle romance can skip to the middle of the episode.
Frieren visits the region believed to be closest to heaven, reflecting on Himmel and the time she failed to value. The episode is calm and introspective, focusing on grief, memory, and Fern’s growing maturity. Quiet, emotional, and beautifully restrained.
The calm before the storm ended so fast. After a wholesome and endearing breather, the party hit the Northern Plateau, and the stakes jumped to 11. The pace is much more relentless now, no more easy breaks. The soundtrack in the final scene gives off major Witcher 3 monster vibes
You could feel it in your stomach how awkward Stark was but I really liked how the whole date scene is written and emphasis was more given on the thought. Action packed episode towards the end & trio is getting more synchronized in combat. Very excited for tough future fights.
I can’t get enough of Stark and Fern! They’re just too cute together. I do wish the cloud from Season 1 had made an appearance, it would be funny to see how Fern would’ve reacted to it again in front of Stark this time around XD
With the continuation from the previous episode, the possible deeper relationship and romance between the characters are explored while the character development of Frieren is shown by comparing her attitude from her previous party to her current.
Stark fumbled the whole date—failed the outfit check, no compliments, mentioned another woman, skipped the necklace, didn’t grab her hand, no giant bun, no dessert swap. And yet… he still stuck the landing. Also, Fern’s little happy penguin walk at the end? Adorable.
The party continues its journey as tensions rise around a strategic objective. Subtle character dynamics take center stage, with emotional restraint and quiet reflection shaping the episode’s tone. A calm build-up sets the stage for looming challenges ahead.
The visual and music is Top and pretty, I hope we got more romance into this story but Frieren only love Himmell I wish I can have more story of them.
This one really shines in how it develops Fern and Stark’s relationship. The parallels with Himmel and Frieren add emotional depth, while their dynamic feels more human and grounded instead of forced. The softer moments blend smoothly into the action.
