There are only 2 episodes left and I don't know if I can wait 2 or 3 years for a season 2 once it finishes airing, I need more Frieren in my life 😭

What about you? Will you wait or start reading the manga?

Bro I started reading the manga right after the premier

It is so worth it!

I wouldn't recommend reading the manga if you like to experience a new arc or a new plot directly in the anime format. The manga is quite memorable and the best arc is exquisite and I hope it gets animated with similar passion as the second exam.

If you are the type of fan who wants to experience both manga and anime, I'd suggest experiencing the manga first and wait for the anime (because it will definitely take at least a year for this to return with a full season)

I'm definitely gonna pick up the manga when the season ends. I enjoy the story and the characters too much to wait however many years the studio is gonna take to produce a second season.

I read the manga regardless the outcome I read manga that don't have anime so it's not the absence of a season 2 that would stop me.

I’ll wait a couple weeks and if there is no season two announcement, I’ll start the manga. But I’ll start it from the beginning

I read the manga before I watched the anime and the anime elevated it to another level. It’s absolutely beautiful 😍

I’m not sure if I’ll read the manga tbh 🥲 when it comes to animes that deal with the supernatural (magic, great battles, superhuman powers, fantastic themes etc) I tend to stick only to the anime because I feel like (this is my personal opinion) the manga format fails at portraying the intensity of the battles or the magic. It’s 2D, it’s still, motionless, it’s black and white.

Although Frieren has a great storytelling and the characters deal with powerful themes, I am not sure if I’ll enjoy reading it.

For example, when Oshi no Ko season 1 ended I hopped right onto the manga to follow the rest of the story because in that case i think the manga deals with the story much better than the anime and you actually get to enjoy and learn so much more in detail. Yet, I watched the anime first and fell in love with it. So I think it depends.

There are definitely series that can be enjoyed better through the manga rather than the anime and vice versa, and series that catch your attention in both formats. :)

That’s why I think I’ll wait for season 2 !

I'll wait,
I was able to wait for Attack on Titan through the years they didn't air so waiting for Frieren is routine for me. The payoff is always worth it.
"Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum.
They should really do their whining at manga forums.

I've started reading after Frieren's "final boss moment/dark souls moment" as she faces Denken's group. It was so hype I couldn't wait for a week, ended up reading from chapter 1 up to the latest aired chapter in like 5 days :3

In Frieren's case it's one of those rare cases when Anime is better than manga (at least IMO).

If ya'll are gonna wait, a theoretical next season would cover like the best arc of the story so far IMO. But of course, it depends on how hard the animators will go because they went balls to the walls hard on the 2nd First-Class Mage Exam arc. Like jeez.

@Sigmar-Unberogen It does improve the manga in some ways, and that's considering the manga is already as great as it is.
The OST is excellent too.

I would start reading the manga but the anime makes the source material SO MUCH better that I do not want to spoil the series for me with experiencing the inferior version.

I'm very tempted. But also Frieren seems to be one of those rare cases where anime is in no way inferior to source material. Not because there is any issue with the source material, but because the adaptation is near perfect.

@delirific I think it's becoming less rare of an occasion by the year to be honest.

There were several adaptations in the past that were essentially just advertising glorified into anime form to sell book/manga.

Nowadays with streaming services actually funding adaptations themselves, there's a whole lot more passion and less business bullshit in that regard than in the early 00s-10s.

I do accept that. Frieren doesn't have 'The PLOT' you are asking for. If you want anime with the real 'PLOT' like dxd you should have checked the genre tags like ecchi, harem etc.

if you think that the reason i don't like frieren is because it's not ecchi, then you're dumber than the average anime fan

@MossieFae I started reading the manga last week from the begining and I still haven't read content beyond the anime.

I'm loving it so far, you should give it a try even if the anime is superior.
