Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, a standout newcomer to the anime scene, flips traditional narrative tropes by exploring life after the story! Following Season 1’s immense success, Madhouse will be returning to animate the sequel.
The anime stood out as one of the most captivating series, drawing fans into the poignant journey of the elven mage. Just like our favorite elf, Frieren, the series may also seem humble at first, but it reveals a deeper power, embracing what makes anime special while telling a timeless story.
Like continuing a story beyond the end of the hero’s journey,Frierenpicks up where most other anime series left off. WhileFrierenshares an epic tale of adventure, it also hints at an impending calamity yet to unfold in the series, potentially revolving around Stark.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s Endhints at a major calamity while Stark sparks hope
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s Endapproaches the classicDungeons & Dragonsfantasy with a more refreshing look. It doesn’t contemplate what the party wants to achieve, but rather what is happening after the big adventure is already over.
Frierenis a story of the life of an elven mage who kills the Demon King and later sees her friend die, leaving her all alone in this world, trying to find her place while dealing with grief.
As the story progresses, she ends up taking care of Fern, an orphaned child and is later joined by Stark, a young warrior. With Season 2 on the horizon,Frierenis amust-watch series that every fan should haveon their list.
With so many assumptions being made about Season 2’s narrative, many fans are returning to Season 1’s foreshadowing that the Himmel, the Hero of the Hero Party, did not pull the Sword of the Hero and therefore believes the true menace is yet to be revealed further in the story.
Himmel’s failure to wield the Sword of the Hero has fueled speculation among fans that Stark could be the true hero. With his impressive debut showcasing immense strength, Stark is one of the most promising contenders to be the world’s most powerful vanguard as Eiken would have been.
Himmel’s inability to wield the sword opens the possibility that Stark might face the same fate, showing that a hero doesn’t need titles or grand achievements.
However, his travels with Frieren and Fern in the face of the coming disaster may get him closer to a realization of his purpose and an actual hero’s journey

The show never depresses you; it keeps a well-balanced, bittersweet tone until the very end.Frierenisn’t the anime meant for that sort of immediate happiness or just having a good laugh?
The journey is rather followed by a half-elf-elven mageloaded with regret and sorrow,moving closer to issues concerning closure as a means to look forward to an emotionally peaceful resolution.
Could Frieren’s journey to the Ende fall short of expectations?
WithSeason 1’s ending at a cliffhanger, fans were dying for the green light from the production studio. Rather than ending where most anime stories do,Frierencontinues beyond the hero’s journey.
After the death of hercompanions, she again sets out on an adventureof her own along with new recruits, fulfilling the late promises of her friends. Furthermore, anime is a masterclass in the use of flashbacks from which every piece of fiction can learn.
‘Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’ Used the Unusual Combination of Frieren and Wirbel to Focus On the Darkest Theme of the Anime
In her endless journey with an ever-changing destination, it becomes clear that Frieren isn’t searching for a specific object. Instead, she’s seeking the same adventures she once shared with her friends at the heroes’ party.
Since Frieren facesno real threats and the Demon Kingis already defeated, the anime’s purpose lies in showcasing her emotional journey to closure, making it more impactful than a typical action-filled conclusion.
Frieren:Beyond Journey’s Endis available to read on Viz Media, and is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
