Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Wow No major spoilers, promise. But I need to rant. I don't know where to start. This is a story about the past, where they CONSTANTLY reference the past. It's not so bad, at first. But the past becomes so much of a regular it feels almost like I missed the main story and am watching the aftermath story. Which is ok, so if that's what the author went for, I applaud you. Frieren is probably my least favorite protagonist character ever. She has zero development over a hundred years she's exactly the same then as is she now. Which if that's so, and she livesso long, why am I watching this? Incredibly boring character with no agenda. The supporting characters are decent, but they don't do enough to make this worth anything.
I just don't see the hype. It's definitely different, and if that's what you're seeking, this is right up your alley. But otherwise I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
