Frieren: Au-delà du chemin

"When Eternity Learns to Feel" - this title perfectly describes what Frieren is all about. This anime is definitely my favorite, even though I'm rarely drawn to slow-paced stories. It beautifully shows that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey itself. Frieren, an immortal elf, slowly begins to understand human emotions - and that slow, delicate process is what makes the story so powerful. I highly recommend this show to everyone - it's truly worth giving a try. While there isn't a lot of action, when it does appear, it's impactful and well-animated. But the true magic lies in the quiet moments, the inner transformations, and the emotional depth. The character development is amazing, and the story explores many thoughtful and touching themes. I'm genuinely looking forward to season two !

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.

I judge anime and stories in general, not by their ability to wow me with effects or action, but for how much they make me feel and learn about myself. And in this, Frieren shines like no other anime I've ever watched, managing to make me smile, feel wonder, nostalgia and excitement all at the same time. Its a beautiful coming of age story, which sounds weird for a thousand year elf, but that's what it is. In it, we will find life lessons which we can certainly apply to our own lives, if we look close enough.

I've watched till Episode 10, and it just keeps getting better and better, weaving backstory and exposition to make current events feel preordained yet surprising at the same time. I look forward to watching this masterpiece in its entirety, but even incomplete so far, Frieren has already taken its place in my book along with the greatest of all time.

One of the more interesting fantasy shows I watched in recent years. I loved the interesting take on elves and their long lives. How the long life of an elf would create a human disconnect to others. The character development is awesome especially for Frieren and her journey. I also loved the perspective of the story being after the grand quest to defeat the demon king. An almost backwards story-telling at first, setting up the current journey, slowly gathering new party members. The fight scenes are incredibly animated and smooth. The environment is gorgeous and the characters are compelling. The world-building was perfectly paced and keeps the audience wanting to learn more. I cannot wait for the next season.

A must watch for any fantasy fans, 9.4/10.

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.
