The winter 2026 anime season already has a major highlight. The second season of Sousou no Frieren premiered in Japan and reached the number 1 spot worldwide on MyAnimeList in just a few hours. The audience reaction was immediate and intense.
- Frieren thrills with handcrafted, artisanal closing ceremony
- Clevatess season 2 premieres in July 2026
Immediately after the first episode aired, the new season soared in the historical rankings. The initial score was between 9.3 and 9.4 , surpassing acclaimed classics. Thus, the series repeats the impressive feat of the first season and returns to the top with authority.
The return episode focused on narrative and atmosphere. Produced by Madhouse , the chapter places Frieren , Fern , and Stark in a cave of anti-magic crystals. Without spells, the focus falls on survival, dialogue, and emotional development.
Evan Call 's soundtrack reinforces the melancholic and contemplative tone. On social media, many are calling the premiere the best return of the year. On the other hand, even though the rating may fluctuate, the message is clear: the quality of the series remains extremely high.
