Sousou no Frieren 1st season already cemented itself as the No.1 anime on MAL. Manga readers do you think S2 can surpass S1 in terms of quality ?

in my opinion, yes. I've read the manga fully up to the recent chapters and I'd say it gets much better, less slice of life as well

Season 2 will most likely have the Golden Land Arc, which is probably the best Arc in the series. Lots of world building great characters and the fights are cool.

Can't say if it will have the same level of production value, but the content will at least be high quality.

S2 could surpass S1 in quality or at least it could be the same level as S1.

In terms of story I can assure to you that it gets even better, one of the best arcs is going to be adapted.

I'm so fcking hyped!!!

I can see its overall score being lower than S1, because S2 will very likely have Golden Land Arc (a very action heavy arc) as its main focus and I can see people complaining again about it.

But despite it being more action packed, Golden Land arc is legit the best one in the series (at least until that point, I've yet to read further), and it's not like the introspective moments are not present anymore.

So, personally I think it'll be a better season, story wise.

I want to see the wedding animated if you ask me. Just avoid spoilers for a better ride.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

I have hopes that S2 will have a higher score than S1.
It'll have El Dorado arc, that's very nice, and we will still get some episodic shenanigans of our dear grimoire seeking elf, plus we'll probably have the Goddess monument arc as a closer and that'll be very satisfying for those who miss the first team characters screen time.
So, besides delivering everything fans could hope in a second season, it is a second season. Casual haters usually don't pick up a 2nd season (just review bombers) and even people who were legit unimpressed by first season wouldn't probably follow a second one. If it manages to deliver same animation quality, it should be a cinch.

It really depends on how many episodes they produce. If they do a full 2 cour, they will have plenty of material for smaller stories with a more focused conflict in the middle. If they only do 12 or 13, nearly the entire season will be one main conflict.

@tokidoki921 fillers don't exist anymore it's a product of a bygone era. The only show that will have fillers will long running one like detective Conan,one piece, Sazae-san or chibi Maruko-chan. Fillers are not a thing since the last 15 years when the paradigm shifted heavily to season format which the only thing worth noting of that format it's time to time anime original content to fill the 12 episodes slot required by the tv station.

Yes, it will probably be at least as good. Of course, it depends on what you like. Also, depends on how good they do, but if it's the same quality as season one, it will likely be at least as good, and for me, even more enjoyable. The story does get interesting.

@TheBerserker I delayed reading the manga for awhile for this reason. If they made more anime, I didn't want to be disappointed if it was too different from the manga. But I don't think it will be a problem because they followed the manga pretty much exactly for the first season, and seeing it animated will still be a treat.

From a manga reader:

It won't have more fights than S1.

It's like gintama in the sense that there are chill little arcs and then serious arcs here and there.

Like Eisen said, the closer they get to the castle, the more dangeruous the journey would be. So the idea is to have fun even in those situations.

Probably better than S1, it has everyone favourite arc.

There's good slice of life moments in episodic chapters, like S1, but the best Arc will be adapted.

Idk why everyone is so on the fence about more action in s2, it's barely more battles than s1 if they adapt all chapters available and story is even better imo.

The S2 content is about the same as S1. Hell, there’s even a very strong possibility that it’ll have the exact same structure as the first season (largely episodic first half -> big plot & battle-heavy arc taking up the second half) due to the way the source material paces itself when it comes to arcs. I think the aforementioned arc, the Golden Land arc, has significant issues, but it’s also much more technically competent in its execution than the Mage Exam, and people who like the manga more than I do consider it the best part of the series, so there’s a not-insignificant chance you & people like you will enjoy it more than season 1.

Ignore that one contrarian cus the El Dorado arc is the best BECAUSE of the story. NOT cus moar action. Plus, its still Sol/adventure based just not the El Dorado arc.

And I would say the best fight was in the story so far was Frieren clone vs Frieren and Fern. It all depends on how much work they'll put in s2, really.
