Frieren Hypes Season 2 With Gorgeous New Year’s Promo

As a long-time observer of the anime and manga industry, I must say that the New Year promotional images shared by publishers and studios always bring a sense of excitement and anticipation for what’s to come in the year ahead. This year, Shogakukan and Madhouse have captured my attention with their playful and whimsical take on Frieren from “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.”

While I have been following this series since its debut in 2023, I must admit that the serious and solemn demeanor of the title character was what initially drew me in. However, seeing Frieren don a white kimono with blue flowers and strike a silly pose in this New Year’s promo image reminds me that even the most stoic characters have a playful side to them.

The success of “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” has been nothing short of phenomenal, with the anime quickly becoming one of the most popular shows of 2023 and early 2024. The character herself has become a favorite among the anime community, and I have seen numerous cosplayers embodying Frieren at various conventions. It is no surprise that the show has already been renewed for a second season, and while we do not yet know when it will air, I am confident that it will be well worth the wait.

One thing that stands out about this series is its strong connection to the manga source material by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe. The fact that the manga has been on hiatus twice in 2023 and again in May 2024, only to return to publication in August 2024, speaks volumes about the dedication of its creators to crafting a compelling story. With over 13 volumes in circulation and over 20 million copies sold worldwide, I have no doubt that “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.

Lastly, I must add a bit of humor to lighten the mood. While we eagerly await the release of season 2, I can’t help but wonder if Frieren will be sporting even more elaborate costumes in future promotional materials. Perhaps next year we will see her wearing a Santa hat and holding a Christmas tree, or maybe even a Valentine’s Day-themed outfit complete with cupid wings! Only time will tell, but I am certainly looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this fantastic series.

As the New Year unfolds worldwide, manga publishers and anime studios frequently post promotional images for their current top shows. These fresh key visuals serve to advertise upcoming anime or established series that continue to generate income. Typically, these New Year’s promos depict characters from the shows engaging in activities related to the holiday. Japanese publisher Shogakukan and anime studio Madhouse have released a New Year’s promotional image for one of their most successful titles, “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” The promo image shows Frieren dressed in a white kimono with blue flowers, adopting a playful pose.

In contrast to her somber and thoughtful demeanor depicted in both the anime and manga adaptations, Frieren possesses a lively, playful aspect of her character which is beautifully encapsulated in the New Year’s image. The anime series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, released in 2023 and continued into early 2024, garnered significant popularity. The main character Frieren gained a dedicated fanbase within the anime community, with many cosplayers adopting her style. Despite concluding its first season in the first half of 2024, the show has already been given the green light for a second season. Madhouse is yet to announce an exact release date for season 2; however, the New Year’s promotional image will ensure the series remains fresh in fans’ memories throughout 2025.

When Can Fans’ Expect Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2?

As a die-hard fan, I’m beyond excited about the New Year’s Promo hinting at more Frieren in 2025! But let me clarify something: The green light for the second season was given in 2024, so it’s not a guarantee that it will air next year. Animation, especially from studios like Madhouse, renowned for their high-quality work in Japan, can take years to complete. It’s quite possible they started working on the second season even before the official announcement, but we don’t have any definite details about its release date yet. So, while I’m optimistic, I’ll be patiently waiting for more information!

The “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” animated series is inspired by the manga written by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe with the same title. This manga experienced two significant pauses in its publication, one in 2023 and another in May 2024. It resumed publishing in August 2024, and at present, there are 13 volumes available for reading. The manga has garnered over 20 million copies in sales globally, seeing a doubling of its numbers following the debut of the anime in 2023 and 2024.
