The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel's party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel's death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.

Loren B This whole series makes me laugh for joy. There are precious few things in this world that truly, deeply elicit that response from me. This is some of the best writing I've ever encountered; and I include all forms of media in that endorsement. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Silas R I loved this series; it was great the whole way through. The writing and character development was perfect, and the animation is very well done. Im happy they confirmed a season 2. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Audience Member + animation+ cinematography+ story± worldbuilding Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the reasons why I think the American education failed us, because of the people that can't comprehend basic story and telling, in the beginning there's no real timeline between anything happening it's just back to back of oh let me check on my friend see if they're alive, I don't see any real character development at all throughout this, and the American voice actors are very bland and show really no emotion and the animation of the studio doesn't give anyone any emotion in their face when speaking, although I think an adaptation of the past are always talking about would be a much better story to tell, I'm not saying this is bad I'm just saying that this, I'm just saying people shouldn't praise this for its animation and completely ignore how mediocre the writing is Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Kevin R Peak television. 0 Flaws, perfection. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Daniel K Best show of 2023 and one the greatest animes of all time Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
