A brief recap of Frieren anime episode 11
The previous episode of the Frieren anime, titled Winter in the Northern Lands, began with Frieren returning to the town after defeating Aura the Guillotine in a one-sided affair. Graf Granat lauded the Elfen mage for her feats and thanked her wholeheartedly for letting him give the dead soldiers a proper burial.
After welcoming Frieren and her party to his castle, Graf told them that he would grant the mage any reward within his power. The Elfen mage then asked Flamme's grimoire about the protective barrier, even though he was aware that it was fake.
She mentioned how she loves to collect such items as a hobby. Following that, Graf prepared a grand reception ceremony and thanked the Mage once again for saving the town. After making precious memories in the town, Frieren, Fern, and Stark prepared to resume their original quest.
However, Graf informed them about the troublesome situation in the Northern Plateau Region, which forced restrictions on travel. Even adventurers had to be accompanied by a first-class mage.
Everyone was shocked to discover that Frieren didn't apply for mage certification from the Continental Magic Association.
Thankfully, Graf told them about a place in the northern region where the Elfen mage could take the first-class mage exam and resume their quest. As such, the party embarked on their new mission. However, they had to face the bitter coldness of the northern region.
By a stroke of luck, they found a cottage inhabited by a fellow elf named Kraft. Frieren and her party then spent half a year at Kraft's house. The episode ended with Frieren, Fern, and Stark saying their goodbyes to the Elfen Monk before resuming their journey.
What to expect in Frieren anime episode 12
Considering how the previous installment covered chapters 23 and 24, Frieren anime episode 12 is likely to adapt the next two chapters of the manga. In other words, fans will see the Elfen mage arriving at the Village of the Sword with Fern and Stark. The episode will focus on Himmel the Hero's past and his ideals as a hero.
