It will be a lot better in animation (and with someone else’s subtitles lol). One thing I was noticing as I was going through is that a lot of the action panelling in the manga is… kinda crap honestly. It’s hard to tell what is going on sometimes.

There’s a scene in the second episode of the second season, the story when they’re retrieving the stolen sword. The one with the under-chin view of Frieren. Can’t remember what manga chapter it was, but the action scene in the chapter largely occurred between panels. In the anime, though, they completely went all-out on it. Action! Explosions! Memes!
So yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to the anime’s take on this arc.

I feel like Frieren is at its best when we are in short lighthearted stories that wrap up in a single chapter or maybe two. But hopefully this all building to an enjoyable finale (eventually). I did enjoy where the Aura arc built up to after a slow start.
I’ve needed to get ahead on bookclubs for one reason or another and finished volume 9 this week. I would say the rest of the volume gets more enjoyable.

yeah I read this weeks read yesterday before the post went up and it was a lot better.....
no dengen… 
does that mean I don’t like scenes with dengen… 
but it was more stuff is happening, more story is being told … instead of just jabberwocky yadda yadda… we need backstory but sometimes it just doesn’t resonate
am curious though… all this city and bodies and everything are perm gold (but different)… but are they… in this universe will they reverse it or not?
… will anyone survive… dr stone moment?
the ones impaled though probably don’t stand a chance…
but who knows this is fiction and there are elves and magic…

Buut, Dengen and Frieren are actually similar in their reliving of the past!
Also I didn’t get how the lord had control over マハト if he’s so strong…

the bracelet… it was explained earlier on that it forced a semi-human condition…but the irony was how the spell was applied…given demons don’t have the same values / meaning on doing ill will/harm the conditions given might have been ok for a human…however… not a human …
also gold that isn’t gold…normally people couldn’t get rich off that…we need more of the arc to unfold to understand what is actually going on …
