During the special anniversary event, the
production of a second season for the anime adaptation of “ Sousou no Frieren ( Frieren:
Beyond Journey's End )” was announced. The release did not list a
scheduled premiere date but, to the surprise of many, confirmed that Madhouse
Studios will continue to be in charge of production .
For their part, Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa
Abe began publishing the manga through Shogakukan 's Weekly
Shonen Sunday magazine in April 2020, and it is still in
serialization. An anime adaptation by Madhouse Studios aired
during the Fall 2023 season (October-December) and had a total
of twenty-eight episodes.
Synopsis of Sousou no Frieren
The Demon King has been defeated, and the victorious
group of heroes has returned to their respective homes after disbanding. The
four—the mage Frieren, the hero Himmel, the priest Heiter, and the warrior
Eisen—reminisce about their decade-long journey as it comes time to say
goodbye. But the passage of time is different for elves, and so Frieren
witnesses his beloved companions slowly dying.
Before his death, Heiter manages to foist upon Frieren
a young human apprentice named Fern. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting
a wealth of magical spells, the pair embark on a seemingly aimless journey,
revisiting the places that heroes of old had visited. Throughout their travels,
Frieren slowly confronts his regret over the missed opportunities to form
deeper bonds with his now-deceased comrades.
