The Frieren anime release date and theme song have been revealed in a recent PV. It has remained one of the most sensational and anticipated TV anime series and is typically a fantasy anime with bits and pieces of adventure and action infused into its plot. According to the trailer, the anime is scheduled for a release on September 29, 2023, along with a special announcement made during the PV.
What is the plot of Frieren anime?
Frieren anime is based on the manga series written by Kanehito Yamada and has been illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. It is a depiction of a fantasy that is filled with mystery and adventure. It revolves around the central character Frieren who is a thousand-year-old elf who defeats the Demon King with assistance from her friends and the hero Himmel. However, after the battle she sets out on a journey alone, promising to meet Himmel and the others soon.
The clock ticks away and time moves into a senseless slumber, as one day Frieren visits Himmel fifty years later. While she has remained as youthful as she was in all of those thousand years of her lifetime, Himmel had grown old and soon died in front of Frieren. The death of a dear friend strikes her rough, but she also becomes aware of her own fallacies and her nature which doesn’t allow her to ‘get to know people’.
Frieren anime therefore becomes the narration of a story of the titular character and new party, who embark on a journey to connect with people, understand the life of others, and form bonds across the country. This journey is a narration of her discovery of the self, where she would paint her thousand-year-old life with new meanings and add a vibrant tone to her being.

Along with this, it has also been announced that the Frieren anime will feature a two-hour special episode during its release, and this comes as a major development for fans and viewers all around the world. Frieren anime will be available to watch on Crunchyroll for viewers worldwide, starting with the special release of the extended episode during its anime debut release.
Frieren anime has revealed the opening and ending theme song of the series
The opening and ending songs of the Frieren anime will be performed by Yoasobi and Milet respectively. Singer Yoasobi will be performing the opening theme song which has been titled ‘Hero’, and it incorporates a feeling of loneliness in Frieren’s adventures. It also puts emphasis on Frieren’s character and the loss and regrets that she carried in her journey only to repent for the sins of her character.
The new trailer has also unveiled the ending theme song performed by Milet. It has been titled ‘Anytime Anywhere’, which is a contrast to the opening song. The ending theme song focuses largely on the essence of their journey and the new adventure which has entailed. Moreover, it shows how Frieren as a character rose from being a completely detached being to finally evolving as one mingling with the affairs of the society.
Conclusion
The Frieren anime is largely focused on resolving a detached and lonely protagonist, who has been largely affected by the death of an acquaintance. The trailer has presented how her adventures have been pictured in a bright and visually appealing manner, but we have to understand that this only serves as an appeasement to hide or overshadow the loneliness and dark emotional state of her heart.
