It's painted with gorgeous, inviting splendor but can't be reduced to simple escapism, thanks to its touching rumination on mortality and the short time we have with our loved ones.
When the 10-year journey ends and the world resets to an era of peace, how do our heroes live out the rest of their lives? That’s exactly what this anime intends to answer, and mostly succeeds at doing so in the first batch of episodes.
This is definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime anime series. It's not just an adventure fantasy, but a deep exploration of human nature and a story of honouring the memory of lost loved ones. "Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End" is a perfectly multi-genre entertainment of adventure-fantasy, slice-of-life comedy, jaw-dropping action, and emotionally deep life philosophy.
A trully masterpiece. If Tolkien made an anime today, this would be it. The sad part is wait another 10 or more years to maybe see something THIS good.
