Fans still wonder what the announcement regarding the continuation of Frieren meant.
We’re probably not getting S2 anytime soon, but fans are wondering if the series can get a movie.
In the case of Frieren, an anime-original movie is very welcome.
The cryptic message on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Sousou no Frieren) made fans wonder if the second season — or perhaps another anime project — is in the works. So far, there has been no confirmation about anything, but that has never stopped otaku from speculating.
We Probably Won’t Get a 2-cour Season 2 Anytime Soon
The Frieren manga is currently on an indefinite hiatus — that is, it’s on break for an unknown amount of time. Assuming Frieren gets another season, and it’s also two cours, it will almost catch up to the manga — meaning that after that, the anime won’t be continued for a long time.
There are still alternatives to a 2-cour sequel, though. If there’s indeed a sequel announced, perhaps it will be just one cour long, to give manga some time to go further. After all, Frieren was incredibly successful, and fans believe the producers will want to adapt it to the end.
Perhaps We Can Expect a Frieren Movie?
As there is still no official confirmation for another season of Frieren, though, fans are wondering how the anime would look in a movie form. Perhaps the anime will get a movie at some point. So, how would that potential movie even work?
Most fans believe that arcs immediately after where the anime ended aren’t structured well for a movie adaptation. Besides, that would mean a long time will pass before the movie is legally available outside of Japan, and, obviously, nobody wants that.
Still, this is one anime where fans actually want an anime-original movie to happen. This would essentially be “filler” content, and viewers usually dislike this. However, in Frieren’s case, an anime-original movie might actually work pretty well.
Why Filler Movies Would Work Here
Many fans believe Frieren is a good fit for one or two anime-original arcs. They don’t need to be part of the TV series to not break the pacing and structure, but they’d work decently as movies. After all, the entire series is a long journey, and perhaps the characters made some more stops than we were initially aware of.
That said, theoretical anime-original movies for Frieren would still have to be made under the supervision of the mangaka. Otherwise, they might not retain the same vibe and atmosphere the series has. And, in the end, that’s what makes Frieren so great for many.
Still, it’s important to remember that this is purely speculation, and Frieren doesn’t have any movie announced so far.
Actually, they want an anime-original movie.
