Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, S.1, Ep.22 - "Future Enemies"
I love the episodes that have a lot of action, but these episode are the ones that stick with me the most.
The moment where Frieren, Fern and Stark are all sitting at the restaurant table about to enjoy a bounty that cost Frieren all her savings...
The memories flooding in where the chef says that the meals will have the same flavor from that moment on and Frieren has doubts the food will still be good since she knows that chefs add their own spin on dishes.
When this episode finished, I went to the gym and thought about how actions, food, smells and such can trigger memories. This show does such a good job of showcasing how everything in life and memory aren't permanent. When her companions ask Frieren if she is going to eat all that meat made me think about the foods that trigger my memories.
As I was jogging on the treadmill I thought about my mom's menudo and late night cafecitos with conchas or Maria's galletas. The taste of those foods make me think of those late night chats with my mom. I am lucky to still have my mom in my life, so she's a phone call away when I want to make sure I make all her comfort food correctly but someday...
I'm gonna leave this here though, because Himmel made me feel like a hero this evening. Like him I believe in the same thing he said:
"Change someone's life even in just a small way. That should be enough."

I used to eat my steak medium rare, but you have to eat the damn thing so fast before it gets cold! So I switched to medium instead. It's a small compromise, but I get to actually enjoy my food instead of inhaling it. Lol.
While Ubel did learn the Sorganeil if you notice her version is a little "off" showing that she does not understand the spell completely.
I said when they were first introduced that Lawine and Kane were my sapphic mages, because I ship them and they were two moments for that, the first was when Lawine said Kane is cute when she smile, the second is Kane on her knee saying she will escort Lawine. Of course that could be read as more friendly, but i'm queer and see queerness in every crumbles i can find ^^. But they're both tsundere so it always end in violence lol (they're still cute together). Another things this show is good at, and i don't know if anyone said it already, but it's the faces, expressions and other body languages you want to save, pouty Fern and happy walk Fern are an exemple but Frieren have some great too.
Übel is a bad girl....and a favorite of the fandom. It's one with the most fandom art of the show. She calls Land "Megane-kun". They translate that to "four eyes" but in reality is "Glasses-kun". Lawine is the typical tsundere. When she gets embarrassed she refers to "violence". HE HE.
Lawine’s love language is causing Kanne physical pain 😂
