Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
If you are interested in fantasy adventures and drama, then you should check our Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. It follows Frieren, an elf mage who has a longer lifespan compared to her companions. Frieren’s former party defeated the demon king but unlike Frieren, her companions eventually aged and passed away. She embarks on a new journey with one of her companion’s adopted child.
The show isn’t very flashy but does a lot of reminiscing and thinking about what it means to truly live. Survivor’s guilt is another theme in the show.
The official synopsis of Frieren from Crunchyroll reads:
“After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity’s mortality. She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill old friends’ dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out.”
