Frieren: Au-delà du chemin

It's beautifully written and the depth of character as well as the development by far one of my favorites. Such a beautiful and stunning story. I wish they made more stories like this one. It's been a long time since I've watched an anime with such vigor and awe.

To anybody wondering if this story is worth third time this by far has some of the best writing that I've seen in a long time. The contrast between the different character developments is staggering. It brings new perspective to friendship and love the characters are well thought out and deliver an impactful series full of emotion and wonder.

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!

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.

"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 !

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.
