    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.

      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 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.

      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.

      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.

        I liked the contrast between the two cours. Cour 1’s quiet introspection shows life at Frieren’s speed, cour 2 focuses on other characters to show life at humans’ speed.

      The previous season covered chapters 1-60, so I’m going to guess that this season will cover chapters 61-119.

      Mild manga spoilers

      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.

      Ending at chapter 119 because that’s the end of an arc.

      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
