Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Another anime inspired by Overlord. Frieren is if Overlord was a power fantasy and had a woman as MC. It just took all the interesting elements of Overlord and made them mainstream. In other words, trash. Great animation and a cute girl main character is enough to have high ratings on this website so not surprised by the score. You can tell the praise for this is manufacturated. On another note, Overlord's influence is insane. Japan's Game of Thrones for a reason. I know it has a museum and other legendary tributes. But, Maruyama deserves a statue for all these new animes copying his homework andbecoming hits. He is truly one the fathers of modern animes.

Frieren is if Ainz was boring. She is a Mary Sue with no flaws unlike him. She is always right. Frieren is surface level. There is no controversial topic. The lessons are something everybody already agrees with.

The worldbuilding is generic and undervelopped, just another Tolkien rip off. Tired of Overlord copies who never get the core concept of this masterpiece.

Frieren is mediocre and inoffensive which is worse than being trash. Also, the repetitive use of flashbacks is lazy writing and there is even a boring shonen tournament arc like usual.

I already forgot about Frieren because there is nothing memorable about it.
