Comment on Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 | OFFICIAL TRAILER

Anyone knows if season 2 will. Be more like the first cour of season 1 or the 2nd cour of season 1? I personally wasn’t a fan of the 2nd cour as it felt like a completely different show that was very battle shounen-ish compared to the first half.
The previous season covered chapters 1-60, so I’m going to guess that this season will cover chapters 61-120.
Season 2 should be more like the 2nd cour of season 1 in pacing and length of arcs, but I liked the material more to a lot more than the first-class mage exam arc.
That’s part of what made it great for me. You can’t have a show hype up this strong and feared character without showing them off a little bit. The second part was the climax of the buildup of the first. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for season 2.
If I recall correctly (and if I’m predicting the pacing correctly), the first part should be more similar to the first part of season one, while the second part should be more of a single arc like in season one. It’s an excellent arc, though, and it involves finally meeting the fandom’s fourth favourite character according to the manga poll (with Himmel, Frieren, and, uh, the mimics coming up first, second, and third respectively).
Personally I can’t wait (though I’m wondering how they’ll manage to make it look good in colour).
IIRC, it will be more similar to
second cour of season 1.
IIRC, the party got wrapped up in a long, action-packed arc against a demon who’s basically Midas.
I’m going into this season blind, but I expect the first cour to be more slice of life with the second being more adventurous. Apples and oranges, but Mushokou Tensei follows a similar pattern.
I read the manga and if I remember correctly it does get a bit more chill for sometime? Not sure how far the second season will go but there is a point where it goes very action heavy and doesnt really stop, although even then you get some nice slice of life sprinkled here and there

I love Frieren but I tend to agree. Not necessarily that I disliked cour 2, but in that I much preferred the quieter and more contemplative episodes over the shonen-y stuff. The whole exam arc for me was a bit too long.
My favorite episode remains the one where they clean up the beach.
