    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Frieren' is acclaimed for its profound themes of memory, loss, and time, providing a distinctive viewpoint on life and relationships through an immortal elf. The anime is celebrated for its character growth, especially Frieren, and introspective storytelling. Animation, music, and world-building are noted strengths. However, some find the pacing slow, characters emotionally flat, and plot repetitive with minimal stakes or action. Despite these critiques, many appreciate its thoughtful narrative and emotional impact.

    Best anime I have seen in years

    I judge anime and stories in general, not by their ability to wow me with effects or action, but for how much they make me feel and learn about myself. And in this, Frieren shines like no other anime I've ever watched, managing to make me smile, feel wonder, nostalgia and excitement all at the same time. Its a beautiful coming of age story, which sounds weird for a thousand year elf, but that's what it is. In it, we will find life lessons which we can certainly apply to our own lives, if we look close enough.

    I've watched till Episode 10, and it just keeps getting better and better, weaving backstory and exposition to make current events feel preordained yet surprising at the same time. I look forward to watching this masterpiece in its entirety, but even incomplete so far, Frieren has already taken its place in my book along with the greatest of all time.

    Refreshing, calm but deep

    Something new. Since most anime or manga focus on the heroes and their adventure. This one focus on a POV of one of the member. The story itself quite unique and reminds us how to be human again.

    Maybe it's quite equivalent on how we spend our college times with those special persons. When we graduate we drift aparts but what connects all of us are those memories and fun things, and crazy stuff that we did. Sometimes as life goes by we forget those people and actually being left alone.

    The stories itself and each episodes presented beautifully. It's fun to watch but also it felt a bit painful to watch as each episodes also reminds us on lots of small but important things that we might have forget.

    A masterpiece

    Frieren: Beyond Journeys End rapidly turned into one of the most acclaimed anime of the last decade and for a good reason. The story shifts the focus from a traditional heroic quest to a poignant exploration of time, memory, loss and legacy.

    From the very first episode it sets the tone perfectly. The storytelling is deliberately slow, but thoughtful, each frame is drawn with care and attention. There are a lot of intricate details that can be missed during the first viewing, but it only improves the experience down the line. It also has great action scenes, which are done not just for the sake of it, but to accompany the character development.

    Speaking of the characters - they are complex and inspiring. Himmel the Hero literally changes lives by motivating people to grow and help others (and not just in the anime, but in real life as well). Frieren is easily one of the best protagonists ever, she is somewhat stoic, but shows subtle progression throughout the whole show by learning how to understand and value people that she meets.

    This anime is epic when it wants to be epic, it's simple and complex at the same time, it explores themes which are close to people who went through loss and grief. It just does everything right without trying too hard. That's why it became one of the most engaging experiences I've ever had.

    A wonderful anime

    Sousou no frieren it's amazing I haven't seen a good anime in a long time, but if it's an impressive animation with a world-building like that, it sounds intriguing. The anime strongly reminds me of the excellent 'Mushoku Tensei,' and in my opinion, it might even be on par with it. I also read the manga, and it's excellent too. However, what makes the series so good, in my opinion, is the main character, Frieren. She's a very different main character compared to the others. In my view, this anime is undoubtedly outstanding, and the manga is also fascinating and excellent, much like the series

    One of the best animes.

    I like the artstyle and the sound quality is astounding. The story is diffrent, because it begins after the kill of the demonlord, the most powerful enemy. I can recommend this anime to everyone, because it is funny, sad, nostalgic. The pace is a little slow at the start, but it catches up and it is adding to the story, because it is about a 1000 year old elf, for her time is diffrent. And still she was only 10 years with her companions at the journey, she had many memories. Very nice crafted Anime. I think everyone can see himself in one or the other character. Even the drawing style gives me nostalgica, it reminds me of the old handdrawn disney movies.

    • Trivia
      Most characters' names are German words hinting at their personality or traits. "Frieren" means to feel cold, referring to the protagonist's always cool demeanor. "Stark" is strong, "Fern" is remote, distant, "Himmel" means heaven, "Eisen" is iron, etc. Antagonists are named along the same pattern. For example Draht means wire, and indeed, his weapon is a magical wire.
