The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel's party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel's death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.

Kambole Campbell IGN Movies It’s painted with gorgeous, inviting splendor but can’t be reduced to simple escapism, thanks to its touching rumination on mortality and the short time we have with our loved ones. Rated: 8/10 Oct 4, 2023 Full Review William Evans Black Nerd Problems The unique premise allows for one of the most contemplative and genuinely reflective stories I’ve seen in anime, period. Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Jeremy Looney Common Sense Media Frieren: Beyond Journey's End tells an emotional tale about confronting regrets, overcoming apathy, and putting in the effort to create real relationships with people. Rated: 4/5 Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community The opening chapter of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End delivers an introduction that is breathtaking in its elegance, thought-provoking in its reflections, and charming in its cast. Rated: 10/10 Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Mariló Delgado Espinof ... An extraordinary and very beautiful anime series that is worth having on your radar.

Mathieu R Massively overhyped. It has its moments but most of it is also perfectly adapted to sleep on the couch with light background noise Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Jo H Les personnages sont détaillés et l'animation agréable, les comics relief sont rares mais pertinent L'anime se digère comme un repas chez mémé, c'est long, long à avaler, long à digéré mais sympa dans l'ensemble, l'animé peut clairement servir de nouvelle base pour définir ce qui est digne d'intérêt ou pas, mais ne mérite pas sa note actuelle Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Audience Member The visual quality good, the story good the characters good everything good I can watch this 100x Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Audience Member Genuine Masterpiece. One of, if not the best anime i've ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Daniel B This anime is a lack luster gen z adaptation to a magical world that has already been created. Everyone is familiar with the JRPG anime design, yet no one is surprised when a copy paste anime is created? This entire anime is hinged on a coming of age premise that never reached maturity. And it's all about loss and still clinging to happiness i guess? It's not worth watching. The main character is some unaware yet everliving elf. It's like you asked a dude, who's never been outside, what it's like to be such a pretty and talented woman. Another lame anime. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review taw 5 It's an enjoyable long look at self reflection and learning. It's an interesting idea that gets pulled off in a good way. Animation, voice acting, and music are all good. The characters all have depth and it's easy to get attached to them. It has a good blend of story and action so if you're looking for an anime with a bit of a deeper story and character development, this is worth a watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
