The upcoming anime adaptation of the manga series Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, which was announced during Crunchyroll's Japan Expo Industry Panel, will officially stream on Crunchyroll beginning September 29!
The Madhouse anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will be directed by Keiichiro Saito, with music by Evan Call, character designs by Reiko Nagasawa, and series composition by Tomohiro Suzuki. Frieren will be voiced by a lot of great talent, including Atsumi Tanezaki, Helter by Hiroki Tochi, Himmel by Nobuhiko Okamoto, and Eisen by Yoji Ueda!
Crunchyroll describes the series as:
The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel's party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel's death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.
