Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

One of the more interesting fantasy shows I watched in recent years. I loved the interesting take on elves and their long lives. How the long life of an elf would create a human disconnect to others. The character development is awesome especially for Frieren and her journey. I also loved the perspective of the story being after the grand quest to defeat the demon king. An almost backwards story-telling at first, setting up the current journey, slowly gathering new party members. The fight scenes are incredibly animated and smooth. The environment is gorgeous and the characters are compelling. The world-building was perfectly paced and keeps the audience wanting to learn more. I cannot wait for the next season.

A must watch for any fantasy fans, 9.4/10.

"When Eternity Learns to Feel" - this title perfectly describes what Frieren is all about. This anime is definitely my favorite, even though I'm rarely drawn to slow-paced stories. It beautifully shows that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey itself. Frieren, an immortal elf, slowly begins to understand human emotions - and that slow, delicate process is what makes the story so powerful. I highly recommend this show to everyone - it's truly worth giving a try. While there isn't a lot of action, when it does appear, it's impactful and well-animated. But the true magic lies in the quiet moments, the inner transformations, and the emotional depth. The character development is amazing, and the story explores many thoughtful and touching themes. I'm genuinely looking forward to season two !

This is a great story, but it is also a little slow to get going. However, before you know it, you're invested in the characters and want to know what's going to happen next. It's worth getting through the first few slow episodes. You will follow the past and present adventurer tales of an Elf mage while she learns the value of getting to know those that choose to travel with her. You learn that she spent centuries mostly keeping to herself, even when in the company of others; and despite her age, many of her behaviors are quite child-like. We watch her grow to understand her effect on others (good and bad), as we learn that everything may not be quite as it seems.

It's beautifully written and the depth of character as well as the development by far one of my favorites. Such a beautiful and stunning story. I wish they made more stories like this one. It's been a long time since I've watched an anime with such vigor and awe.

To anybody wondering if this story is worth third time this by far has some of the best writing that I've seen in a long time. The contrast between the different character developments is staggering. It brings new perspective to friendship and love the characters are well thought out and deliver an impactful series full of emotion and wonder.

The fantasy genre was dying because of the repetitive themes and stereotypes that all of them used but.. Frieren was different. It's a story that teaches you to cherish your memories and have fun with the time you have. I love how they made the MC immortal so shes naturally used to caring about the time she has with others that made it possible for us to relate to her if we don't care about how time flies when we are with people dear to us. It's a very soft somehow calming anime in my opinion compared to everything ive watched up until now I would say this is something I can watch without stressing.
