ALBAWABA - The official website for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End announced on Wednesday that the anime will be airing for half a year (meaning two consecutive anime seasons) with the addition of the opening song.
According to Anime News Network, Frieren will premier on Sep. 29, 2023, at 9:00 p.m. JST (8:00 a.m. EDT) with a two-hour anime special. Later episodes will start airing on Oct. 6, 2023.
It is the first anime in NTV's "Kinyō Roadshow" history to air on a Friday evening since they usually air feature films in this time slot!

The talented YOASOBI will be performing the anime opening's theme song called "Yūsha" (Hero) while Milet will perform the anime's ending son "Anytime Anywhere."
Animation production cast:
Frieren has quite the cast behind it with Keiichirō Saitō (Bochhi The Rock) as director, Tomohiro Suzuki (One-Punch Man) as a scriptwriter, Reiko Nagasawa (takt op. Destiny) on character design, and last but not least, Evan Call (Violet Evergarden) as music composer.
Madhouse is adapting the anime from the award-winning manga by the same name.
Synopsis:
This is not your typical fantasy anime, so what makes it so special? It follows the story of Frieren and her team who have already finished their journey of defeating the demon king.
All four of them meet together for the last time before disbanding to reminisce on their decade-long journey but the passing of time is different for elves, leaving Frieren to witness her companions slowly passing away one by one.
Before one of her friend's death, he leaves a human companion with her and they embark on an aimless journey of collecting a myriad of magic spells.
