Episode 18 marks the beginning of a new arc.
Some fans are worried that the writers won't be able to fit all the new characters into the remaining episodes.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) is a unique example of an unusual shonen with a melancholic atmosphere and few characters. However, something is about to change. Last week we were shown images of new characters that will appear in Episode 18.
The number of new heroes is impressive — some fans were even worried that their favorite title might lose its uniqueness, as so many characters could spoil the impression of the whole anime.
Sein was an indicator
For a long time, Frieren was breaking the typical perception of shonen anime — everything from the characters to the pacing was different from the classic examples.
Unlike the noisy, fast-paced old and new shonen, Frieren surprised with its slow pace, almost complete lack of action scenes, and quiet, realistic characters. These features have contributed to the title's popularity — it has topped many lists of the best anime in 2023.
The characters are a very important part of Frieren — each has their own unique characteristics and personality traits. Overall, there weren't many characters in this title, and the ones we spent the most time with were even fewer.
Episode 17 shocked viewers with the sudden departure of Sein, which we had been preparing for over the past few episodes. That fact alone predicted the changes that would occur.
Please don't become predictable
Episode 18 marks the beginning of a new arc focusing on the magical exam. Fern and Frieren must achieve the rank of first level mage in order to continue their adventure to the north. This arc is quite long and will most likely last until the end of the first season.
Not too long ago, we were shown images of the new characters that Frieren's party will meet at the exam. They turned out to be more than viewers expected (almost 11 people).
Some fans are worried that the writers won't be able to fit all the new characters into the remaining episodes, since most of the season has already passed.
Viewers really don't want to see their favorite title become clichéd, and the First Class Mage Exam turn into a typical shonen competition plot, where the authors first introduce us to a lot of new characters and show their traits, and then reveal them (not always well) as the story progresses.
Will Frieren turn into a regular shonen?
