The soundtrack and background art has been phenomenal for this show all season. In a recent Sakugablog post, they talked about Frieren and the stellar team of animators/staff they assembled for the production. One person they give a lot of credit to is Seiko Yoshioka, who is credited as a concept artist for the show. However, it seems that her influence has been enormous on the overall art direction and she has had a significant role in expanding the imagery and visual lore that we see within the world.

Overall, Frieren has not missed all season. Frieren was one of my favorite manga and it has also become one of my favorite anime (so far).

Also, I wish we knew how Fern’s group did it, but it isn’t in the source either. I actually went back and checked because it was bothering me too.
