More About Frieren Beyond Journey’s End

The elven mage Frieren is a former member of a party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest. The party also consists of the human hero Himmel, the dwarven warrior Eisen, and the human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors, a meteor shower that occurs once every fifty years. Frieren agrees to see the group again and offers them an improved view of the next occurrence of the Era Meteors. Frieren departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge.

Fifty years pass, and Frieren finds much has changed in the human world, with many of her companions having aged drastically. She expresses regret over the loss of Himmel, with whom she realizes she knew hardly anything. Through new companions Fern, an orphaned child, and Stark, a young warrior boy Eisen had taught, and in pursuit of the opportunity to see Himmel one more time, Frieren’s journey reflects the uniqueness of her elven lineage and what it means to be human and live.

Our writer shared their thoughts: “One of the greatest triumphs that makes Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End deserve to be Anime of the Year is how it adapts Frieren’s perspective of time so we may better appreciate her character. With the season opener encapsulating 70 years, 50 of which are delivered through a beautifully executed montage, we get a taste of how quickly those years pass for the thousand-year-old mage.”
