Review of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

The People Saying the hype doesn't match the show, are either too jaded to really take themselves away from the cinemasins mindset of consuming media, or too young and simply don't have the attention span to sit down and enjoy this at the gentle pace it presents - which funnily enough, are precisely the people this show is meant for. Frieren is a masterpiece. It's not overrated, not overhyped. If you don't enjoy it, it doesn't make it bad, it just doesn't meet your sensibilities for enjoyment. But for those who want to watch something special, a genuine once in a generation viewing experience. WatchFrieren, put your phone away and sit and watch, let it remind you of every conversation you wish went differently, every friendship that slipped away, every chance you missed because you didn't take it. Let it remind you of the time you have, and how you can still spend it in a way that matters to you.

Frieren is art, not because it has the greatest story, not because it is better animated than everything else, or better acted. Frieren is art, because it speaks to the human condition and it reminds you with beautiful moments time and time again, that this is a real story even though it's about an immortal elf.

Frieren is gorgeous, Frieren is impactful, Frieren is whimsical, and Frieren is a treat to listen to. Everything about the show is an audiovisual treat nearly unequaled.
