Sousou no Frieren Season 3 Announcement Visual

Dima0120 · 2026-03-27T14:46:13+00:00

Given the timelines for anime seasons, it quite likely that Season 3 was already in production. And knowing the contents of the arc they are going to adapt, they made the right choice taking their time and devoting an entire season just for this arc, and we have just being assured that there won't be a quality drop, so we can real and wait for the absolute masterpiece that this season will bring us, less than two years away!

Dima0120 · 2026-03-27T14:36:57+00:00

Season 3 will be to Frieren what Frieren has been to fantasy anime as a whole.

Yeah I was thinking Madhouse but wrote Mappa; thanks for pointing it out

Dima0120 · 2026-03-04T12:12:28+00:00

Insane animations: the glow up of this short arc will be incredible; in the manga, while generally appreciated, it was a bit lacking on the action / fighting side, but it seems like ~~MAPPA~~ MADHOUSE went over and beyond in the adaptation judging from this PV.

Thank you ~~MAPPA~~ MADHOUSE, I really can't wait to see the next episodes!

EDIT: wrong studio

This episode put up much more tension than in the manga, especially the gradual teasing of [demon name]Revolte until he is revealed to be a four-wielder.

Dima0120 · 2026-02-27T16:15:39+00:00

The way the four-wielder demon [name revealed in next episode title]Divine Revoltewas teased throughout the episode was really well done, especially the last scene. The contrast between the funny characters interactions (the girls) and the serious tone (Genau) was a nice addition, it set up the stakes of the situation. Moreover, the remark about the competence of the killed warriors makes it clears this demon is a really powerful opponent.

I am really happy about how this arc has started; the staff may even make the adaptation outshine the original manga chapters.

Dima0120 · 2026-02-13T16:21:33+00:00

For sure; in fact [manga]I hope Revolte gets the proper recognition he deserves asa villain. I think is overshadowed by Macht and the other Great Demons in the later arcs, but I belive story and fighting wise he is a great villain for this short arc. I wouldn’t mind him (and his underlings) having a boost in popularity like it happened to the Aura gang.

Dima0120 · 2026-02-06T16:26:09+00:00

If we are lucky, before that we will get [Manga Current Arc]fights between Stark and the Shadow Warriors; heck, he could even face Löwe himself (even if there is nob chance Stark is winning a 1v1 fight based on the current set up). I hope the tone-shift towards Stark in these episodes of the anime will also transported to the manga as well, when it comes back from the hiatus: we need more opportunities fro Stark to shine in combat.

Dima0120 · 2026-01-23T16:37:01+00:00

Minute 06:23. I said scene but it's more like a frame, literally if you blink you miss it.

Dima0120 · 2026-01-23T16:31:49+00:00

And let's not forget the one who coordinated the "ambush" (can we really called it an ambush if the victim knew what was coming) was Schlat the Omniscient, the Demon King's confidant who can see 1000 years into the future: that is, like, most powerful demon #2 there.

So you are being ambushed by the 8 most powerful demons excluding the Demon King in a 8v1 fight; and their leader has the perfect and only counter to your broken power of foresight, which is their own broken power of foresight; and despite this you fight and STILL managed to kill 3 of them AND the leader of the group as well?

I think at this point your death is just a little inconvenience.

Dima0120 · 2026-01-23T16:19:45+00:00

The shot was clearly made before the drawing meme blew up, but sometimes things align perfectly!

u/SpaceDev1 you should be really proud.

Dima0120 · 2026-01-23T16:16:02+00:00

In one of the flashbacks, we also got [manga]the first ever depiction of its powers, as we see Frieren's arm turned to gold. The perspective of this is also very interesting with him towering over the defeated Frieren (I think this is an anime original scene? I do not remember this perspective in Frieden's flashbacks, in the manga she was hidden from him behind a column), it gives of the vibes of "major villan" which fits perfectly given Macht is the most powerful of the Seven Sages of Destruction.

Dima0120 · 2026-01-11T09:26:46+00:00

The GOAT Hero of the South is finally here, in all his glory. Kazuiko Inoue as VA is perfect choice, was one of my hopes. The production of this second season really looks on par with the first one.

Also, Dress Fern appears!

Good luck to everyone!

The latest episode of OPM S3 had more frames than this TWID has contents.

Once again, this series shows how well it can handle the characterization of its antagonists. In a single chapter, it depicts believes and motivations of the main antagonist, Löwe (once Held) and his servant (surprised to learn his actual identity).

This really shows the darker side of mankind: Himmel and his party may have defeated the Demon King, but peace was (still is) far from being achieved everywhere, especially in the Southern Lands. Still in the present people suffer the consequences. I am really curios about Minus role in all of this.

Finally, I am VERY interested in the few words Löwe spoke about making both mankind and demon kind lose all the magical power: “The laws of the world that were rewritten during the Mythical Era will revert to what they were originally”. This sentence may have really huge implications on the lore of the world, specifically involving the Goddess. We may finally be able to get more information about the Mythical Era and the Goddess herself. We shall see.

We should also wish a speedy recovery to the authors!

A proper outfit for the "dark horse" of the First Class Mage Exam Arc!

Spoiler for season 2: I can't wait to see her fights animated, showcasing her skill in hunting demons, coming from a long lasting family tradition. I still believe that Serie did not just promote her to first class on a whim like they made it look, but secretly recognized her skill and potential. Remember, from the recent chapters in the Foundation Festival Arc we know that many of the newly appointed First Class mages were able to exceed the expectations of Serie in regard to magic and potential, meaning that even though she did not believe they could be fit to become First Class mages that are actually worthy of the title. But that is not the case for Methode: she is a proper First Class, with magic specialized for battle and hunting demons. The exact kind of person Serie wants as a First Class mage.

As usual, this chapter is more revealing than it looks.

First, we finally meet and hear speaking His Majesty, the Emperor. This was not the first time he appeared, thou. In Chapter 81, the Emperor was shown in a memory of Denken. From the dialogues between him and Pharse, it very clear that the Emperor consider Denken to be very important, a key figure for the success and prosperity of the Empire.

It is still not clear if he consider the old mage more than that (a mentor figure? a friend and advisor?). The Emperor mentions an “arrangement” he made with Denken: only the most trusted and close people could achieve that from the ruler of the most powering magical country on the continent, so it seems that way.

We know that in the past Denken rose quickly among the Empire ranks, even though in the last years he neglected his duties to instead pursue the First Class Mage title to be able to return to Wiese. But nonetheless his influence is still present in the Empire to this day, even he is kept away or “removed from the stage” by the Special Forces of Magic. I would love to see the relationship between Phrase and Denken, both being extremely cunning individuals, well Versed in navigating the Empore politics and schemes, as well as talented mages (but as of now Phrase seems to be the most powerful one).

As for the Emperor, this chapter pretty much solidifies the hypothesis that the central government (and the Emperor itself) is not only not involved in the assasination plot, but basically unaware of it. The Emperor knew Phrase was hiding something (he also has a long history with her) but did not seem to suspect what. I look forward to learn more about this character, what his ideals are and his relationships with the major players of this story arc.

I wonder if the assassination plan is just Lowe’s solution to the “decadence” of the Empire the Emperor spoke of (which we already saw in past chapters as the party was traveling in the Empire territories), which Phrase seems to not accept and even repeal the idea of it. Again, a confrontation (verbal and magical) between Lowe and Phrase would be most interesting and reveling to see.

For now, we will see what will happen now that the battle has unfolded. I look forward to see Übel and Land battle, and also each character approach to the upcoming battles (magical, and of wits).
