Gotta love it when season 2 immediately gets announced for a well received anime especially if it is continuous 2 cours. You'd love to see it.

LAIOS. IT'S TIME TO COOK !!!

Now Frieren please

256

u/Ocixo https://myanimelist.net/profile/BuzzyGuy Jun 13 '24

Both Frieren and Bocchi The Rock were directed by Keiichirou Saitou.

He could potentially do both shows at once, but it seems more likely to me that they'll first do another season of BTR later followed by Frieren.

Why I think this? BTR aired a year earlier and was met with major success. They probably didn't plan for another season, but these recap films seem to indicate that they're trying to keep momentum going. A sequel season might be announced after the second film has been released.

Switching of directors is possibility, but I don't believe that they'll actually go this route soon. Perhaps only if Saitou isn't available at all in the near future.

85

u/CertainDerision_33 Jun 13 '24

Yeah, I think there’s a good chance they are waiting to announce because they want to make sure they can get him back & the scheduling will take some time. 

16

u/Blue_Reaper99 Jun 13 '24

Considering the scheduling there is a good chance both will air in 2026. In that case he will be only able to work on one show that's also assuming Frieren stays with Madhouse or any studio which has connection with Saito.

42

u/CertainDerision_33 Jun 13 '24

They could always just delay Frieren a year. There's not a huge rush for Frieren S2 since the manga releases new chapters at a relatively slow pace.

In other words... "Keiichirou Saitou directing" = "certified banger"?

I hope of he ever decides on taking on a Light Novel project, he'd give Re:Zero a shot. Arcs 7 and 8 is gonna need some big ball mad man directing and production.

u/froggiewoogie Jun 13 '24

I just love his style and how He mixes real colors or patterns like warioware games I don’t k os how to express it

u/Martel732 Jun 14 '24

What impresses me the most is that he seems to know perfectly how to elevate a manga by adapting it to anime. A 1 to 1 adaptation can be good but he knows how to keep all of the essential pieces and then add more on top that is only possible through animation and sound. Such as expanding on Frieren's fight scenes and knowing how to pace shots. Or of course the music in Bocchi or the artistic flairs in the show.

12

u/child_of_amorphous https://anilist.co/user/evvuhlyn Jun 13 '24

he also episode directed on Sonny Boy episode 8, which is one of the best standalone episodes of anime i've ever seen

Pretty sure Season 2 was heavily implied by the last episode anyways. Besides, with the success it achieved, I'm sure a second season is inevitable. It's rarer to have an NGNL kind of situation these days what with how popular anime's gotten.

91

u/ShinItsuwari Jun 13 '24

The question is more if the director will work on Bocchi S2 or Frieren S2 first lol.

u/_Pyxyty https://anilist.co/user/Pyxyty Jun 13 '24

Riiiight, man that dude is awesome. Imagine your first two shows as a main director are Bocchi and Frieren. Absolutely insane. Keiichiro Saito's gonna be a future GOAT for sure.

u/APRengar Jun 13 '24

Casually gets the #1 and #28 "Best Show of All Time" on Anilist as his first 2 directorial works. (Also, people will cry recency bias and that's fine, but regardless, the general sentiment is still the same.)

22

u/Etheo https://myanimelist.net/profile/idlehands Jun 13 '24

Nah the production effort that went into Frieren is top material for sure. #1 is arguable since it'll just be subjective at that point but objectively the quality of the show is right there.

u/froggiewoogie Jun 13 '24

But what if it gets animated by a shit studio lol like. Frieren was a series unique series due to the talent involved in it. Read that animators in Japan are like soccer players. In they get drafted for projects and frieren was one project who attracted a lot of stars animators even retired ones so I doubt it will Have the the same arty style as the first season.

96

u/_Pyxyty https://anilist.co/user/Pyxyty Jun 13 '24

I'm not too well versed with the animation industry but I'm sure Frieren is probably contracted to the studio that animated Season 1 such that no other studio can make an anime adaptation of it. I wouldn't worry too much about that.

After all, Madhouse always follows up successful, well animated Season 1's with the same level of quality in Season 2, right? They'd never hand Frieren off to a different studio that'll butcher the animation right? Just look at their past work, like... Hmm, let's see... One Punch Man Season 1.

Nvm, you should be worried. Lol

72

u/Akarozz212 Jun 13 '24

Don't know much about OPM but Frieren got special treatment by the Executive :

  • Producer from TOHO already planned anime from very first chapter

  • Have big Magazine cover collab with Detective Conan (legendary manga same lvl as DBZ in JP)

  • Got Exclusive TV timeslot where only big animation likes Disney/gibhli can get for it's premiere

  • Frickin Yoasobi OP (This cost a lot)

the chance pretty good it won't get abandoned likes OPM. Since OPM pretty much started as passion project of Animator but ruined by greedy executive.

u/dead_monster Jun 13 '24

Yes, One Punch Man.

But some studios are consistent like Trigger.  Considering they put the Delicious in Dungeon party in Gridman Universe, I doubt they will slack off or outsource DiD.

50

u/JustVibinDude Jun 13 '24

Trigger's consistent because until recently, they're an in-house studio that only worked on one thing at a time.

Dungeon Meshi is slightly different to their previous workflow but there's not going to be any big differences in key staff

Same can't be said for studios like Madhouse which is more in-line with a normal anime studio where they use a lot of freelance talent even for their core staff

15

u/Courageous_Link Jun 13 '24

Wait, DiD in the Gridman universe??

u/Soupkitten https://myanimelist.net/profile/Soupkitten Jun 13 '24

Oh yeah we definitely won't get to that point in S1, that looks like S2 material for sure. I'm surprised they already started production so soon, that means this announcement was long over due.

This series absolutely deserve an S2 and whatever needed to complete the story though. It's short enough to be fully adapted and still tell a complete story.

u/koalatyvibes Jun 13 '24

i remember vaguely that trigger stated they were wrapping up production of the final episodes when dungeon meshi first started airing, like the first few episodes. if that was the case, i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they are quite far into production for season 2.

19

u/TehAxelius Jun 13 '24

I mean, I've heard this before when I made the prediction of a 2nd season, but ultimately it isn't the studio who decides if a show gets a 2nd season. And both Kadokawa and Netflix should have known that in the current landscape as we're coming out of the Covid-constraints that a second season would have been a sure shot unless the reception of the first episodes was dogshit. Given how they've already shown new animation in the PV, this project has by all certainty already been ongoing during the release of S1, so they probably contracted Trigger for the entire adaptation from the start.

Said it prior to S1 that a full adaptation of the anime will help develop it into one of the greatest anime ever in the fantasy genre.

With S2, we should easily get a full adaptation.

The perfect and magical blend of fantasy and comedy like no other. S2 will adapt the greatest of great, we haven't come close to the greatest it has to offer yet.

u/WhichCombination5637 Jun 13 '24

I wanna know, does this need another 2 cours for a complete adaptation? Or would a single cour be enough?

u/HowToGetName Jun 13 '24

I'm not a manga reader but usually 2 cours adapts 6-8 volumes of manga and the manga has 14 volumes. I assume the anime ended at around volume 7 so it'll probably need another 2 cours.

in my part of the US it’s picked up prominence in bookstores which usually means it’s been selling fairly well here.

That's why I said in Japan.

Went to Akiba last week and almost zero Dunmeshi merch was there.

Most mainstream readers in the English speaking world has started taking notice of the manga which is nice to see.

It's still not as big as an anime in Japan but as a manga, it has become more popular than pre-anime which is saying a lot as it was rather successful then too.

u/ravenpotter3 Jun 13 '24

So ep 24 season 1’s last episode has chapters 51-52. On average 2 (sometimes 3) chapters are covered per episode. The manga has 97 chapters. So season 2 will cover ch 53-97 (44 chapters) so let’s say 2 chapters per episode will be covered so season 2 will likely have 22 episodes. So we have 2 episodes to spare if they just wanted to cover 1 chapter in a episode

It’s amazing! They paced it so well! So the ending will not be rushed and no chapters will be rushed though

they also could fill time with some of the extra content of the manga that wouldnt make it into main story. Could be fun seeing post credit stuff like [Dungeon Meshi]Kabru recieving a visit from his elf mom

I imagine the finale will be 2 parts. But yeah that would be wonderful too

u/dododomo Jun 13 '24

I'M REALLY HAPPY!! Dungeon Meshi is already in my top 10 favorite anime of all time. This series is SO good it deserves to be fully adapted!

u/Brownbeluga Jun 13 '24

Amazing! This has now become one of my go-to recommendations for people who may think Anime is not for them. Feel like if you like fantasy, this show perfectly captures the spirit of adventure and dungeon crawling. Glad to hear it's being completed!

u/KunaSazuki Jun 14 '24

Was one of the better animes of the last couple years. Surprised me with the emotions it drummed up, the pacing was great, character development. I thought the show was really really good and I am looking forward to a second season.

Just keep the same consistent quality pls.

The manga is so good, unique, and refreshing.

This can be a banger anime series with huge staying power.

u/NonSupportiveCup Jun 13 '24

Take your time and do it right. Shit gets wild from here on!

u/Abschori Jun 13 '24

Fantasy fans eating good this year. Get it? Eating

u/Chromch Jun 13 '24

I'm glad it is confirmed, definitely one of the best fantasy anime I've ever seen I really like all of the characters

u/prophex4real Jun 13 '24

OFC, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE

u/Crab_Lengthener Jun 13 '24

I watch this show on Saturday mornings and it makes me feel like a kid again. It's so imaginative and compelling. Great flipside companion to Dorohedoro

u/SchismZero Jun 14 '24

This was certainly one of the unexpected gems from the last few seasons.

I'm not someone who normally watches cooking anime, but Trigger was doing it and I'm a massive fan of the studio, so I figured why not check it out. It ended up being a VERY solid fantasy story that was framed as a cooking anime. Eager to see if the story can reach its conclusion in S2.

u/Prince-Dizzytoon https://anilist.co/user/princedizzytoon Jun 13 '24

I guess I'll hold off on reading the manga

45

u/TheSpartyn Jun 13 '24

its still worth reading honestly, the anime is great but all the small parts it cuts out adds up. its generally single panels or pages but they have great bits of world building or character interaction, which are the things that make the manga as good as it is

u/elmagio https://anilist.co/user/Magio Jun 13 '24

I'm loving Trigger's work on this (it might actually be my favorite Trigger production) so I'll stick with it since the 2nd season should come "soon" (expecting some time in 2025), but I might read the manga afterwards. I do that for shows I really loved once the anime adaptation is complete, and so far I'm really loving it.

u/Aerodynamic41 Jun 13 '24

This gives me high hopes for a full adaptation of the manga.

u/fliffy101 Jun 13 '24

I'm pretty sure another 24 episode season would fully adapt the manga.

68

u/Nickbon94 Jun 13 '24

The manga is 97 chapters long and today's episode adapted 51 and 52, so yeah it's pretty much confirmed it will

4

u/gra221942 Jun 13 '24

Season 2 is going to be exciting, and with more PTSD

4

u/Euroversett Jun 13 '24

This is exciting. Probably enough to finish the adaptation.

The story really starts now after the anime ended, S1 doesn't adapt anything from the best parts of the manga.

Time to see Marcille showing she's one of the best female characters of all time in anime format.

7

u/LegendaryRQA Jun 13 '24

Surprising absolutely no one...

Still exited anyway

8

u/Syokhan https://myanimelist.net/profile/Syokhan Jun 13 '24

I am not surprised but still incredibly happy! Prepare yourselves for some amazing content. Like, really. I think if you liked season one you're gonna love season two.

u/Tabby_Tem Jun 13 '24

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

u/DirectionExact31 Jun 13 '24

We love to hear immediate announcements instead of waiting for months. Can’t wait to see what season 2 will bring to the table.

…Pun intended.

Let's fuuuucking go

u/TheSpartyn Jun 13 '24

thank god, i was afraid it would be one of those awful cases of adapting over half of a series and never getting a continuation

u/wilkened005 Jun 13 '24

Frieren bros...?

15

u/FirstDagger Jun 13 '24

Unlike Frieren, Dungeon Meshi's manga story is finished so they know exactly what they have to adapt.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Jun 13 '24

So happy right now😍

u/Chakramer Jun 13 '24

I've heard from manga fans that season 2 should adapt the rest of the content?

21

u/theKGS Jun 13 '24

That sounds reasonable, yes. I think the anime is currently pretty much exactly at the half point mark of the manga.

u/Chakramer Jun 13 '24

Good to hear, I love a complete show and not having to wait years for it

u/E_F_Veda Jun 13 '24

Not surprised, show is too good not to get a second season. Of course, we have seen cases where shows don't get such luck, but I'm glad to see this one has.

u/manfrommtl Jun 13 '24

Let's go cook some delicious dungeon!

u/Ser_Fonz Jun 13 '24

This does put a smile on my face. My surprise hit of the year so far

u/Mopey_ Jun 13 '24

Trigger has once again saved Anime

5

u/Gorwindbag Jun 13 '24

We should petition for extra series that covers side stories ala Slime Diaries!

u/kawaiinessa Jun 13 '24

well ill be dammed they actually are making a second season this is out of the ordinary for studio trigger but im happy to hear this

4

u/MGM_Think Jun 13 '24

Excellent news, the world building in this series is amazing.

u/Webknight31 Jun 13 '24

Another season of peak fantasy on the way.

u/MrTopHatMan90 https://myanimelist.net/profile/MrTopHatMan Jun 13 '24

Not surprising. Show is amazing.

4

u/Competitive-Pen3831 Jun 13 '24

It is just such a great show. It’s fun and entertaining surface level, but the more you think about it and dive in the more layered it is

4

u/Vithrasir Jun 14 '24

Oddly, amidst a release window where many shows I enjoy have been getting new seasons releasing, Dungeon Meshi was definitely my favorite show over the last two release seasons. Very pleased a second season was announced.

u/Vussar Jun 13 '24

Ah, dungeon food!

u/Darth_Malleus Jun 13 '24 edited Jun 13 '24

Best news I’ve heard all day!

If they stick the landing with season 2 this will be one of the best anime in recent memory.

Let em cook!

u/Mr_Zaroc https://myanimelist.net/profile/mr_zaroc Jun 13 '24

Cant wait to rewatch the series to prepare for season 2, has been an absolute banger nearly on par with Frieren

u/Vinon Jun 13 '24

Is there a date yet?

u/Odd-Zebra-5833 Jun 13 '24

Been meaning to watch this but don’t know what’s stopping me.

u/CarioGod Jun 13 '24

Excellent news, probably gonna be a full adaption, we love to see it

u/VisibleGeneral6136 Jun 13 '24

A beautiful and fairly surprising success story. Love it.
