Anxiety is starting to take hold of me.

If brain-in-a-jar theory is correct, I’m currently being absolutely DRENCHED in some sort of anxiety inducing chemical; my hands are clammy, sweaty, my knees are weak, and I can smell my mom cooking some spaghetti so I’m pretty sure we all know what’s about to happen…

I was waiting for Sousou no Frieren to finish airing to gauge people’s reactions to the ending before I decide whether or not to watch it, but I caved.

Everyone and their momma is talking about this show, FOMO got me

But now what I feared most is coming true, and I can’t help but tremble at the prospect of Frieren ending on a cliffhanger. There’s 4 episodes left in this season. If Madhouse hits me over the head with a cliffhanger and I have to wait a year for season 2 they might as well cast Zoltraak directly into my heart.

Has anyone read the manga? Am I going to suffer terribly for my rash decision?

Also, this show is really good right?! Love it very much so far, no wonder it’s topping MAL, I wonder if we really do have an all-timer on our hands.

    I read the manga and heavily recommend it.

    Without spoilers: based on the pacing, odds are that the anime season will end on the equivalent of the manga chapter 60. It’s a conclusion of the current short-term events, odds are that it’ll feel emotionally fulfilling instead of a cliffhanger.

    If you liked the first season odds are that you will be excited for a [potential?] future second season, but… that’s it, no Zoltraak feels going after you.

      Come on, there will be a 2nd season. THERE MUST BE!!! Even if there won’t, it’s more convenient for me to believe there will.

      But thank you, I’m glad I can continue watching in peace ✌️

        There will be one, almost for sure. It’s simply too popular of a series to let it go. However it might take a while, specially if keeping the same quality as the first season.
