She was just late.. One of the generals even mentioned that they’re there to “kill every elf” which was ordered by the demon king. So that throws away the theory of Flamme setting Frieren up.

i didn't know if it was considered shonen per se
it has similarities, but it isn't trying to affect the same feelings exactly

its past it, which would make sense with the idea that you have to "go through hell to get to heaven"
i think i mentioned that in ep 4 discussion when it was revealed

I think Lindsey is mistaken? The show is scheduled to run for two consecutive cours. You guys haven't even reached the half way point.

Frieren is a shonen manga if you didn't know

Also, I really enjoyed the discussion. You both made good points about how this episode really contributes to understanding Frieren's character in a new context, different to what most viewers probably assumed. As far as Flamme, my guess is that since she mentioned the demons also took everything from her, she was monitoring the Demon King Army's movements and trying to strike while they were already engaged in a battle/distracted. Perhaps she was just late to the one where she met Frieren.

Also, remember that Heaven is in the same land where the demon castle is, that is highly suspicious.

Always loving your reactions on this show, thanks. I was wondering, was there a reason why you guys were saying the show is going to end soon? 28 episodes are scheduled for this season without any interruption apparently.
I absolutely love the character of Flamme. Her love for magic starting with a seemingly very simple spell of making flowers (especially for a strong character like her) made me like her very fast.
