Where to Watch the Anime
Studio MADHOUSE is animating and producing the anime for a September 29 premiere during a busy fall 2023 anime season. The Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End anime will premiere with a two-hour special. Japan will receive this two-hour special on Nippon Television (NTV), and fans in the west may view the new Frieren anime as it premieres on Crunchyroll.
Here’s an overview of the new anime series, via Crunchyroll.
The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel’s party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel’s death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.
