That was the perfect return to the series. I think it was worth waiting for the dub's release.

They played one of my favorite OSTs's variation after the opening. So glad to see that Evan Call is back. And the opening is by Mrs.Green Apple, the one that did Apothecary Diaries's latest opening too!

Frieren, Fern and Stark are as great as ever. We see them in a journey and not a tournament. Thats the best part.
Even the ED is just like the last one.

Ending animation is stunning. They are getting me to feel so many emotions already and it's just episode 1! Can't wait for more.

Awesome season premiere. Top notch quality with Evan Call's musical decision continuing to be goated.

Only Frieren can start a season with "shall we go, then?" as if the viewers too are going on a grand (or, really, not-so-grand) adventure. I cannot believe over two years has passed since Season 1. Am I turning into Frieren?

I love the ending sequence. milet's music is part of Frieren's identity at this point, and she delivered: this new song is distinct from last season's, but feels just as Frieren-y. Music aside, I must mention the gorgeous visuals. Mimei Aoume's art style is technically impressive for how much detail is constantly being tracked throughout the entire ED. That one rotating shot of Frieren casting the flower field spell... I don't think I have seen anything like it. There's the rotating camera, the moving flowers, Frieren swinging her staff, fabric movement, and petals swirling in the air all at once... The resulting effect makes a perfect crescendo for the ending. How did a human even create this??

Speaking of Mimei Aoume: them working on this ending sequence was a match made in heaven. They have always had a knack for rotating shots, plants, and butterflies. In this case, the plants in question are the very important flowers, and the butterflies symbolize Frieren's metamorphosis through her journey.

@detarameMAL I still ask myself how long it took that animator to finish their thousands of pages worth of frames for that ending. There's a post on twitter showing what is essentially a book collection-sized paper block with what was used in the ending.

This isn't my favorite episode of the season right now, but it's not bad.

Okay, why couldn’t Stark hold the Magic Nullification Crystal and walk 10-15 meters behind them? Come on. I love this show, but man, the author writes as if we’re slow or something.

But I really loved the scene where Frieren told Stark that if he feels uncomfortable, he should say so, because she forced him into the party. That’s something I’ve been wanting to hear from frieren since Season 1.

As always, the production and story of Frieren are impeccable, and despite the slight changes in character design, it doesn't affect the experience.
