Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
I was told to watch this show by a friend. I kept stalling and delaying I even watched an episode and thought it wasn’t for me. One afternoon I picked up the show once again, thinking it wouldn’t be any good and I was blown away. This has to be one of my favorite shows ever, as a long anime fan who’s been watching anime for over 15 years ever since I’ve been alive. There is literally no words that describe this masterpiece (words incoming) First off the characters are some of the best characters I’ve seen in story writing.

First off the characters are some of the best characters I’ve seen in story writing. The idea that dives into Frieren's complex of living for 2000 years and seeing everybody that she associates with dying and she having a sort of apathy at the beginning of the show yet this blossoms into a deep relation with many of her teammates before meeting Fern and Stark which she dwells on and the constant lessons she learns from her teammates who have died into the past as she learns to live those lessons when she’s with Fern and Stark.
This show easily has some of the best character writing I’ve seen in anime. I mean, even the side characters have extremely deep complexes and stories of their own. As I sat and watched, the lessons or something that you can contemplate while you’re watching are amazingly deep and insightful. The idea of having someone who lives for so long to see everybody that she cared about die really puts into perspective how short life is for people and to enjoy and live the moment. I’ve never had an anime where I’ve sat down and actually deeply thought about the stories and characters in my own life. But this anime does this and even more.
If you do not have a short attention, span, and care about meaningful stories did this show is for you. If you care about a show bringing you and to a beautiful story that encapsulates everything about human life and the lessons that we learn. This show is not for people who have short attention spans. This show is not for people who don’t really put any second thought in anything this show is not for people who don’t appreciate great story telling.
My words for anybody who’s thinking about picking this up is that do not do what I did and keep waiting on it. Take this show up and watch it all the way through. You will not regret watching this show.
My only criticisms of the show is genuinely that there isn’t enough. I do believe that a couple of the characters like Stark, for example, needs to be developed more than he already is. And I think this is just due to how short yet how much it conveys, this show in the best possible way feels like 100 episodes because of how amazing and how in depth, the characters that we see development change and I really think that within 28 episodes and how much it really delve into that this is nothing short than a masterpiece. In the next season, I would love to see the magic system, be more developed and see the extent of it i’m very excited to see what’s more for this show. If you haven’t watched this show, this is your sign. complex of living for 2000 years and seeing everybody that she associates with dying and she having a sort of apathy at the beginning of the show yet this blossoms into a deep relation with many of her teammates before meeting Fern and Stark which she dwells on and the constant lessons she learns from her teammates who have died into the past as she learns to live those lessons when she’s with Fern and Stark.
