    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Frieren' is acclaimed for its profound themes of memory, loss, and time, providing a distinctive viewpoint on life and relationships through an immortal elf. The anime is celebrated for its character growth, especially Frieren, and introspective storytelling. Animation, music, and world-building are noted strengths. However, some find the pacing slow, characters emotionally flat, and plot repetitive with minimal stakes or action. Despite these critiques, many appreciate its thoughtful narrative and emotional impact.

    Touching, philosophical, profound, meaningful, sad and heartwarming anime.

    In the realm of animated tales, there exists a gem of profound emotion and contemplation. "Frieren" unfolds a poignant narrative, blending the hues of ignorance, regret, and the yearning to understand humanity. Frieren, once unaware of the depths of human nature, finds himself grappling with the haunting echo of missed opportunities and unspoken words after the passing of cherished friends.

    As the scenes unfold, the story paints a portrait of profound regret etched on Frieren's soul. Regret for not delving into the essence of those dear to them, regret for the conversations left unsaid, the laughter that never echoed loud enough, and the understanding that eluded their grasp. This poignant realization dawns upon Frieren, a bittersweet melody that tugs at the heartstrings.

    In the wake of loss, Frieren sets forth on an odyssey, a journey to unravel the enigma of humanity. A pilgrimage driven by an insatiable desire to grasp the essence of human beings - to perceive their dreams, fears, hopes, and aspirations. Every step is a dance of sorrow and longing, a dance that is as captivating as it is heartbreaking.

    The animation breathes life into this tale, the vivid colors and expressive strokes adding depth to the emotional tapestry. The elegiac soundtrack echoes the pain and joy of Frieren's quest, every note a whisper of the soul's lament.

    Through Frieren's eyes, we witness the beauty of a newfound comprehension. Every interaction, every revelation, is a brushstroke painting a new layer of understanding on the canvas of his heart. The story, an exploration of the fragility of life and the potency of regrets, serves as a mirror to our own existence.

    "Frieren" stands as a testament to the human condition, a somber reminder of the value of cherishing those around us, of the fleeting nature of time, and the importance of understanding and being understood. It unearths the eternal truth that sometimes, it takes loss to ignite a burning desire to truly know the beating hearts that surround us. And in this, lies the heartrending beauty of this unforgettable anime.

    A masterpiece

    Frieren: Beyond Journeys End rapidly turned into one of the most acclaimed anime of the last decade and for a good reason. The story shifts the focus from a traditional heroic quest to a poignant exploration of time, memory, loss and legacy.

    From the very first episode it sets the tone perfectly. The storytelling is deliberately slow, but thoughtful, each frame is drawn with care and attention. There are a lot of intricate details that can be missed during the first viewing, but it only improves the experience down the line. It also has great action scenes, which are done not just for the sake of it, but to accompany the character development.

    Speaking of the characters - they are complex and inspiring. Himmel the Hero literally changes lives by motivating people to grow and help others (and not just in the anime, but in real life as well). Frieren is easily one of the best protagonists ever, she is somewhat stoic, but shows subtle progression throughout the whole show by learning how to understand and value people that she meets.

    This anime is epic when it wants to be epic, it's simple and complex at the same time, it explores themes which are close to people who went through loss and grief. It just does everything right without trying too hard. That's why it became one of the most engaging experiences I've ever had.

    An unconventioal narrative, but a beautiful one

    On most anime's you'll see, at least the most popular ones, regardless if they are great or just fine (or even other movies and TV shows for that matter) there is always an ultimate goal for the protagonists; a villain to defeat; something precious to be found; saving a loved one... that's kind of how most narratives go - what if a story starts after the main purpose has already been achieved, what's next? This is what Frieren's beautiful journey explores...

    An elf, in a world populated mostly by humans, with a huge life span continues her peaceful journey that is her life, after having been a part of a group of 4 people that managed to defeat the source of most evil in their world, a Demon King.

    It's a really original and unconventional storyline, we start where most anime's would end, what's next if you have already achieved your ultimate goal in life?

    Not only that, we see the world through the eyes of a character that outlives almost everyone she meets, her concept of time is radically different from any average human she crosses paths with, for her there's no rush, she has all the time in the world... This is where we start to see some beautiful and philosophical lessons being laid out - are we not all guilty of assuming we and everyone around will live forever? We struggle to find meaning in ordinary things and we let our lives pass us by assuming there will always be a next time, unfortunately it doesn't work like that every time.

    The original narrative gets even more epic with the astonishingly daunting soundtrack, amazing colors and animation and some light hearted comic moments.

    The last part of this first season gets a bit more tedious, I feel some of the storylines get a bit stretched but other than that it's a really great story with some really good life lessons, some comedic and also emotional moments along their journey, I am glad they are coming up with another season as there are still some great moments ahead for sure!

    One of the best animes.

    I like the artstyle and the sound quality is astounding. The story is diffrent, because it begins after the kill of the demonlord, the most powerful enemy. I can recommend this anime to everyone, because it is funny, sad, nostalgic. The pace is a little slow at the start, but it catches up and it is adding to the story, because it is about a 1000 year old elf, for her time is diffrent. And still she was only 10 years with her companions at the journey, she had many memories. Very nice crafted Anime. I think everyone can see himself in one or the other character. Even the drawing style gives me nostalgica, it reminds me of the old handdrawn disney movies.

    A beautiful anime that saved the fantasy genre

    The fantasy genre was dying because of the repetitive themes and stereotypes that all of them used but.. Frieren was different. It's a story that teaches you to cherish your memories and have fun with the time you have. I love how they made the MC immortal so shes naturally used to caring about the time she has with others that made it possible for us to relate to her if we don't care about how time flies when we are with people dear to us. It's a very soft somehow calming anime in my opinion compared to everything ive watched up until now I would say this is something I can watch without stressing.

    • Trivia
      Most characters' names are German words hinting at their personality or traits. "Frieren" means to feel cold, referring to the protagonist's always cool demeanor. "Stark" is strong, "Fern" is remote, distant, "Himmel" means heaven, "Eisen" is iron, etc. Antagonists are named along the same pattern. For example Draht means wire, and indeed, his weapon is a magical wire.
