Frieren Fridays are back!

It has been almost 2 years, but seeing Frieren airing once again is like meeting up with an old friend that you haven't seen in a long time. That's the feeling I felt when watching the first episode and seeing Frieren, Fern and Stark travel along their journey, getting involved in one fun adventure or mishap here and there.

The production values are still crisp and beautiful and Evan Call's soundtrack is pure excellence. The new OP from Mrs Green Apple was pretty good, but Milet's ED song was amazing, both for the song and the visual style that they went with.

Overall, this episode was great. This second season might be only 10 episodes long, but I'm so glad that Frieren is back one way or another. =)

I had the same feeling too!

Can't believe it's already been almost two years. I'm really excited for this season, but also a bit sad to see that there'll only be 10 episodes, I wish it was more.


The only sad part about this season really is we're only getting 10 episodes, but at least we are getting 10 PEAK episodes.

AntwanMantilla said:
This season maybe only 10 eps but it'll be a great time nonetheless.

10/10, I'll always be grateful to Madhouse for this one.


Thank you Madhouse for giving us Peak!

I really missed the dynamic between Stark and Fern. On the other hand, I didn’t expect them to run into Wirbel so soon; I thought the characters they left behind would take longer to reappear.


I also wasn't expecting for them to reappear so soon, but I'm glad they did, because they were all really interesting!

LuisSV23 said:
As for Frieren, I really liked how the concept of 'I entrust you with my life' is (unsurprisingly) an idea she picked up from Himmel.


It's always so heartwarming to see Frieren picking up things from Himmel, like that one!

MrMcFunkaDunk said:
Frieren being back already feels unreal and the episode flew by like it was five minutes long. Even after the break between seasons, it felt like the story has just carried on like we havnt had to wait. That’s what I love about this series, it just flows so naturally.


This really explains one of the best things about this anime! It's kind of magical how the anime just flows so naturally.

Marinate1016 said:
130+ comments already is fucking nuts, frieren you are truly iconic.


For real, I was already expecting for my comment to be in the 2nd page, since it has been some hours since the episode released, but it's already with almost 150 comments, this is crazy.

I'm so glad everything stayed as awesome as the first season ... OP/ED, animation, voice acting, 全部


Just wanted to say that I loved the GIF xD

rasterman7 said:
This episode in itself showed not only how Stark values Frieren and Fern's encounragement but how Fern trusts him with her life by the way she was holding that bracelet.


It was really cute how Fern was holding closely that bracelet when Stark was carrying her out of the cave, just goes to show how much she values it, and how, in that moment, she trusted him to save her.

Mcsuper said:
Production-wise, no real drop-off there. Despite a new director in Tomoya Kitagawa, taking the reins, the quality is still as good as I remember. It feels like the reunion with an old friend, you miss them when they're gone, but when you see each other again, it seems like the most natural thing in the world.


That's a really good way to put how this episode felt like! It's just wholesome how it seems there wasn't even a 2 year gap between the 1st and the 2nd season!

Are there only fools in this group? They have money problems and they throw a rock worth the same as a mansion. The rock's effect is 3 meters. The normal formation of a group is the attacker Stark in the vanguard and Frieren and Fern in the rearguard, meaning Stark could be 3 meters ahead with the rock in that position, it wouldn't affect them, and they could sell it and get the money they need for their trip.
@R0MER0 my thoughts exactly. Pretty dumb, not used to having stupid plot holes like that in my immortal elf story.

Really liking the Stark content on this episode, after he was ignored during the final episodes of S1


We have our first "Ecchi" scene of the season


The tsundere shows her dere side but you're too used to the mood swings to believe it


Very cute Stern/Fark scene

Episode did not disappoint, as expected. I watched this episode immediately after finishing my rewatch of Season 1 and it maintains the flow well. The ED is better than the previous ones but same cannot be said for the OP. I'm sure it will seem better after watching more episodes though

I have no doubt in my mind that this season will be just as good as the last one, even if it's quite a bit shorter. I couldn't be more happy with this first episode. As much as I love the mage exam arc, the travels of Frieren and crew to all the different villages and cities is the kind of adventure I'm itching for and made me love Frieren from the start, and I'm very glad we're back to that for a while.

It's like we never left. Comfy episode, on point with last season. And Fern it seems found comfort in Stark's present to her. They're basically a couple already.

@R0MER0 I did think that also but from the parties pov they might not want to take the risk in case of an emergency.
As shown in the next scene. If they had the crystal on them when they fell through the ground they might not have survived the fall.

Ranked behind the first season of Frieren.

@R0MER0 was thinking the same, but also frieren said its the strongest material. i feel like not many people would have the money to buy it or want to buy it. itll disable magic so you cant magically turn it into anything and its too strong for human tools so you cant turn it into anything.
so all it really seems to be is pretty, and inconvenient around people.

First episode and right at maintaining the agenda

PEAK anime for a reason..

But Fern "ecchi" immediately they know how to overperform expectations 😭🔥
Even Frieren didn't forget about his old hag insult. Poor boy, shouldn't have met the rare Fern offer to pet him let go tho. Ik why you want to be careful but bad bottlejob.

Another beautiful comparison of past and present with Eisen & Stark case..

Everything as great as I remember from 1st season.
But only 10 episodes, have to savour every moment of it.

The intro was just ....Okay. The last 10 seconds of it were better, but it felt a bit too late. The outro was magnifique; I wish they had switched places. My favorite studio is back at it again. Welcome back, Frieren. I dread how long Season 3 will take with all that's going on.

INSANE INSANE INSANE. ANIME OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS. PEAK EPISODE. OPENING OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS.

ANIMATIONS/VISUALS MASTERPIECE. After the fall 2023 to winter 2024 season, Frieren is finally back with a BANG. Lulu by Mrs. GREEN APPLE might become my favorite Frieren opening. But for now, Haru by Yorushika remains at the top, just waiting for Lulu to take the number one spot. Milet returns to handle the ED, and Milet never fails to capture the essence of Frieren.

The same directing style as Season 1 feels like it’s been thousands of years since I last watched this series. Frieren has undergone significant development since Season 1. And in Season 2, we’re shown the mature side of Frieren to the couple Fern and Stark.

love to see Wirbel again, he's one of my favourite characters in season one

Life is very important guys, don't push always to your limits, know to adjust. Even you are so eager to discover or finish it earlier, just take your time as always. I love the details when after the dragon use a fire, frieren and was injured and heiter healing it. This anime every episode is a treasure
