Source is from episode 6.

What hasn’t already been said about Frieren at this point. Long before an anime adaptation had been announced, I was a huge fan of the manga. I was worried that it wouldn’t translate to the anime medium very well due to the slower pace and less intense action compared to many other shounen. Well, I shouldn’t have worried at all. They pulled out all the stops in the adaptation and juiced up the action sequences through gorgeous visuals and a fantastic OST.

Season 2 has been announced, but given the production schedules of the teams involved, it will likely be quite some time until it gets worked on or comes out. Even if I have to wait 10 years for it, I am happy to give it the time they need to create magic like they did in season 1. It will be a mere 10-year adventure in the meantime.

Edit: Just wanted to include a mention of !frieren@ani.social as well.

      I remember reading the show description and it was something like “Generations after the defeat of the demon lord, an elven mage takes an apprentice,” so I thought it was going to be a lighthearted relaxing little story.

      NOPE!

    I would be more than okay with a couple decades of Frieren (and maybe some spinoffs for different stories with similar fantasy atmosphere, too).

    The problem with Frieren is it makes all the other anime i try to watch suck by comparison

    Not a fan of the Seven Deadly Frames-esque battle sequence, but it does seem like the go-to technique of portraying fluid battle movements (see: Pain vs. Naruto). Doesn’t change that I don’t like it.

    That reveal that Stark killed the dragon though. That’s good.
