The phenomenon **Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End** has just consolidated its absolute dominance in the world of Japanese animation. In early February 2026, the work achieved the historic feat of simultaneously occupying the top two positions on MyAnimeList, definitively dethroning the legendary Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Since the premiere of the second season on January 16, the anime has not stopped growing. With only one episode released, the new phase broke rating records and reached an impressive score of 9.28. Meanwhile, the first season maintains the same momentum, securing a very rare double at the top of the global ranking.
## The end of Fullmetal Alchemist’s reign
For more than a decade, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was considered the unshakable king of the platform. However, the adaptation of Kanehito Yamada’s manga proved that sensitivity and high-quality animation can win over today’s audience. Therefore, the competition is now happening within the Frieren franchise itself, which shares the podium with itself.
Despite the thunderous success, the price of this achievement was high behind the scenes. The animation director recently revealed that he is facing difficulties working as before due to the physical and mental exhaustion required by the production. Even so, the studio maintains the weekly release schedule to the delight of Brazilian fans.
## Broadcast Details
– **Where to watch:** Crunchyroll
– **New episodes:** Every Friday

In this way, the anime differs from traditional action titles by focusing on a contemplative and visually impeccable journey, available with subtitles and dubbing in Portuguese.
