Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Good grief, finally, among the plethora of Isekai anime and harem shows where girls are desperate to have children with the hero, this anime brings a breath of fresh air and quality. The anime is beautiful, the storyline is interesting and philosophical. It's very lovely, contemplative, with no crude plotline that gives away the ending. It's both serious, melancholic, and funny without resorting to the cheap jokes we've seen 30 times before. No Ecchi! Thank goodness! A manga that simply talks about people's lives without them necessarily being destined for great things. It just highlights the differences in age, what life is, how it flows before reachingdeath, seeing acquaintances leave, discovering love, the awkward and fiery side of youth, old habits, the wisdom of the elders.

In short, I have this feeling of revisiting old anime that just want to tell an interesting story, without resorting to the lousy shortcuts that many mangas use today. Simple, effective emotions, beauty, beautiful music, contemplative about the lives of the people we are going to follow.

The only flaw of the anime, in my opinion, is the beginning; the first 6 episodes are quite slow, but we are undoubtedly left with the best anime of this early year.

This anime will undoubtedly remain among the best, for this first season, it's a certainty.

Can't wait for the next one, we're left wanting more.
