Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Ratings & Reviews
- rg9400November 1, 2024I am editing this review after finishing season 1. It went from being something I really enjoyed to one of my all-time favorites and something I consider a genuine masterpiece. This is a story about looking back by looking forward, about understanding the importance of living in the moment, about the importance of the little moments. Each arc, whether it goes by within a single episode or lasts multiple episodes, is suffused with emotion and impact, with an intentionality that is almost surprising considering how effortless and cozy the show feels. The animation is stunning, especially the visualizations of the magic, and Evan Call's soundtrack is top tier. It has been a privilege to watch Frieren's journey and reflection on her past, obvserving both unfold simultaneously as we learn the way she learns about the importance of small details she originally ignored. Honestly, everyone should watch this beautiful and poignant anime. Original Review: This is ongoing, but I am really enjoying it. I appreciate how it takes a fantasy setting and the concept of an elf who outlives all her companions to explore how and why relationships between people matter. Using her unique perspective, the story is able to help accentuate humanity from the outside looking in. The side characters also get focus, so we get to see their character growth juxtaposed against the initial companions and Frieren. Sometimes the episodes feel inconsequential or too subdued, but they all have such a gentle and cozy feeling to them that I do not mind.

- MichaelJune 4, 2025Best anime I've ever seen
- NonPlayableContentJune 9, 2025I wasn't expecting to get such a wholesome and combat heavy anime in one package. Love the depth of the story and can't wait to get to the end.
- BoysLoveUnratedMay 27, 2025One of the few animes with well-written female characters! And I even enjoyed the straight romance in this. It might make you cry in the end but it's worth it. Amazing visuals and beautiful story.
- Fero93May 21, 2025Absolute PEAK, one of the all time best anime
- Ricardo BothaMay 18, 2025Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a masterpiece that redefines the fantasy anime genre. With its slower pace, the series offers a refreshing change, allowing viewers to truly immerse themselves in the emotional journey and intricate character development. It’s not just a story about adventures but about reflection, growth, and the weight of time. What makes this anime exceptional is its ability to explore profound themes—grief, nostalgia, and the meaning of companionship—through the lens of an immortal elf mage, Frieren. Each episode feels like a carefully crafted chapter, weaving together heartfelt storytelling and stunning visuals. The animation is breathtaking, with every scene drenched in detail, from sweeping landscapes to intimate character moments. The pacing, while deliberate, is a strength, giving time to absorb the subtleties of the narrative and truly connect with the characters. Frieren herself is a fascinating protagonist—a being shaped by centuries of experience, yet still discovering what it means to understand and cherish fleeting mortal lives. Target Audience This anime is perfect for fans of fantasy who appreciate thoughtful, introspective storytelling. If you enjoyed Mushishi, Violet Evergarden, or Made in Abyss (with a more subdued tone), Frieren will resonate deeply with you. Recommendation Whether you're a seasoned anime fan or new to the medium, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a must-watch. Its slower pace is not a drawback but a meditative strength, making it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who values character-driven narratives and beautiful artistry.
- ThunderMay 7, 2025This is easily one of my all-time favorites. Can't wait for season 2
- Christopher JahnApril 2, 2025Easily my number one.
- Soham JaiswalMarch 31, 2025absolutely amazing, so good i actually read the manga, like a nerd, i cant wait them to cover the next arcs, it's gonna be absolute gold, if you know, you know and also, the first opening is banger, second is good, but imho, first opening got a lot of unneeded hate ngl
- ExEtraMarch 20, 2025Chill, racism against demons and just has that vibecoding feel to it. Yoasobi kickin' it again with the OST. Overall very comfy and true to the manga.
- Alexander SierputowskiOctober 30, 2024This was such a nice slice of life feeling anime, with a wholesome adventure told through the lens of an matured adventurer who has very few issues. A story told after the calamity and when the world is calm. It almost feels like the postmortem story of Overlords universe. It also concludes well, most things answered and not leaving you feeling like you "need" more.
