Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 has already been ranked by fans as the best anime of all time, despite having released only one episode.
The Winter 2026 anime season includes many major returning series, but Frieren was one of the most anticipated. The first season was a massive success and held the number one spot on MyAnimeList for years, beating long-time favorites like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Steins;Gate.
Now, Season 2 has gone even further.
Number One on MyAnimeList
After its first episode aired, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 quickly rose to the top overall ranking on MyAnimeList, surpassing even Season 1’s score.
While MyAnimeList is not the only anime ranking site, it is one of the most popular and widely followed. The early response shows just how high fan expectations were for the new season.
It remains to be seen whether Season 2 can hold the top spot as more episodes are released, but the early reaction has already placed the series in anime history.
What to Know About Frieren Season 2
Season 2 is currently airing as part of the Winter 2026 anime lineup. It is available to stream on Crunchyroll in regions including:
- Europe
- Central and South America
- Africa
- Oceania
- The Middle East
- India and CIS countries
Crunchyroll has confirmed that an English dub is planned for later this winter, though no exact release date has been announced.
The season will run for 10 episodes, which is significantly fewer than the first season. While fans have praised the early quality, the shorter episode count may become a point of criticism once the season ends.
Even so, with just one episode released, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 has already set an incredibly high bar.
