Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Hypes First Anniversary with New Poster

Frieren and her allies return to celebrate their first anime anniversary.

By Evan Valentine

It's been one year since anime fans were introduced to the meaningful story of Frieren, the immortal elf looking to learn more about humanity and discovering some wild battles along the way. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End became a hit in the anime community thanks to its introspective story and the gorgeous animation from Studio Madhouse. To help celebrate the one year anniversary of the anime adaptation, Madhouse has released a new poster that once again unites Frieren with the characters, young and old, that helped push her forward on her journey.

Despite the success of season one, Studio Madhouse has been tight-lipped regarding Frieren returning for a season two. Luckily, there remains plenty of material from the manga that can be brought to the small screen as creator Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe are still creating new chapters to this day. Recently, the manga suffered from a brief hiatus, but new chapters have returned and the anime franchise remains unlike anything else in the medium today.

Frieren's One Year Anniversary Poster & Event

Along with the new poster featured below, a special event will take place to celebrate in Japan on September 28th. Several members of the anime's cast will attend the Toho Cinemas Hibiya to watch the first four episodes on the big screen with Frieren fans. The cast attending includes Atsumi Tanezaki (Frieren) Kana Ichinose (Fern), Chiaki Kobayashi (Stark), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Himmel), Hiroki Tochi (Heiter) and Yoji Ueda (Eisen). While no similar event has been confirmed for North America, fingers crossed that Frieren comes to the West in a similar form in the future.
