Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Generic DnD party's story to defeat the demon king retold in DemonSLayer flashback style during the parallel DnD party's story traveling through generic Tolkienesque Europe to totally not defeat the demon king. This is high-budget fantasy slop with zero originality. Literally just throwing money at the wall along with pay to win ratings. One might notice a ton of internal inconsistencies and boring monster/sidequest of the week garbage, or one might clap when the pretty colors go by. The entirely 1-note and otherwise forgettable plot just keeps digging straight to tropey shounen hell for the pointless exam-tournament arc. This generic show doesn't deserve the effort it wouldtake to explain everything wrong with it.
2/10 (where 5/10 is average)
