Anime director Keiichiro Saito has finally explained why he won't be in charge of helming Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season 2 -- and his reason is actually pretty heart-wrenching.
The fantasy series, which is based on Kanehito Yamada's ongoing manga and currently holds an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, is set to return with another batch of episodes on January 16. Behind the scenes, Tomoya Kitagawa is set to take over from Yamada, having overseen episodes 2, 8, and 25 in the previous chapter.
