Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

If life is too fast for you, come and watch this. Want something sentimental? This is it. Want something thrilling? This is not it. I'm surprised though, that MAL has kept up a high rating of over 9 for this anime since the start of airing period till now... Let's keep this nice and simple, shall we? This is clearly overrated. Sorry to burst the bubble of those who have given it such high scores, but I'm trying to be as prudent as possible and personally I do not see this as an anime that should get such a rating (as much as it breaks my heartto say this). Mine is an 8 (still pretty high not going to lie) and I think this is decent enough as it is. Any lower or higher seems like overkill. I can see why it is rated so highly but this is probably just being over-hyped.
Yes, I enjoyed it too. I actually binged it because the storyline was solid and kept me going. I was never bored. There was plenty of character development and these are the few factors that contributes to a good anime. (And a little side note, I did cry on the first episode.)
I can sing this anime with praises as it is most certainly extremely unique compared to an abundant number of anime's out there. Refreshing, sentimental and tranquil. The best thing about this anime too is that it went over the usual number of episodes per season e.g 12 or 24. It really slowed down and made sure to not rush things. So huge pat on the back for that! Now...I can't find much to critisize and I know that what I've said contradicts my former statement but I hope people can understand that I do agree it's a good anime but the rating is a little too high. Honestly, the rating made me ask "why is it so high?" so I kept it on my 'to watch' list when it finished airing and I still ask this even as I write this up. I would say, something is missing...plenty of other anime can make it to my rated '8' list. Personally, this anime has left a nice impression, but a deep one? Sadly not. (Try to amuse me with your recommendations if you disagree with what I've said so far!)
Overall, although I would recommend it to people, I will try not to over-hype this and keep it to a minimal. Everyone's taste is just that different. It was a satisfying anime till the end and I look forward to a (hopefully) 2nd season!
