Frieren Season 2 is finally here! Shin-ichiro Miki voicing the Demon General is a perfect match—his voice is so imposing. Looking forward to the battle scenes in the Revolt arc!
Agree! Miki-san's voice really suits this character, and he has voiced many villains before, all of them very charismatic.
Wondering if I need to rewatch season 1 before season 2? I watched season 1 last year, so I've forgotten some of it.
The animation quality of the first season is truly god-tier, I hope the second season can maintain it. Madhouse's performance in recent years has had some ups and downs, but Frieren should be made with all their effort.
After seeing the PV, I'm relieved. The animation quality doesn't lose to the first season at all. Especially the effects in the magic battles are really beautiful, and the use of colors is also very deliberate.
This is truly a rare gem, the pacing and atmosphere are handled really well, neither rushed nor dragged.
