Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
I never thought I can feel this way while watching an anime,this is something so surreal that words can't explain. Frieren beyond journeys end follows the story of Frieren who is an elf and an excellent mage. The story takes place after the fight with the demon king has ended and the group of our hero has disbanded. The heros died peacefully after the fight with the demon king but Frieren being an elf lives on; she doesn't has the same understanding of emotions as humans thus she wasn't able to value the time she had spent with the group on her journey to defendthe demon king, she didn't understand the essence of time and value of a memorable journey and a great company.
The anime focuses on how frieren understands the essence of time spent with loved ones and how important it is to embrace the moments as one can miss them if they don't stop and look around once in a while.
The plot of the anime is fresh, making it intriguing to watch and the animation is top notch matching the vibes the anime wants to deliver. And the music, such beautiful and soothing music which creates a cozy vibe for this anime and makes the journey more impactful to watch. They have done a marvelous job here, matching the animation and music so perfectly to deliver such a great vibe to this anime, it's almost unexplainable to describe what kind of comforting and self reflective vibes this anime gives. I think the vibe of Frieren is what makes is so special that it's on the 1st ranking on mal; and it deserves so every bit.
This was for sure one of the most beautiful 26 episodes for me ever. Mad house has done such a great job animating this.. there's no flashy and awe inspiring animation but the use of pastel colours and funny style animation elevates the feel to the anime to such an extent that it deserves respect and appreciation.
The characters too are written so beautifully that it brings an automatic smile on your face, especially the relationship between Strak and Fren. The soft love and strong admiration they have for each others is shown so beautifully that it just makes you want to see more of them;their complex make the journey more fun to watch and more dramatic.
In short, Frieren is such a unique and unexpected anime which gives you the feel no other can and surely is one of the best anime of all time (atleast for me that is) and the ratings says the same story.
