Critical reception

Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network gave the first volume of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End an A-. Silverman praised the concept of Frieren outliving her companions, and being forced to live with an understanding of the human world and her own emotions, calling it an "interesting take on the fantasy genre", but said the art is not "quite up to the emotional tasks of the story". [70] Richard Eisenbeis from the same website praised the second volume of the series, saying it "delivers both emotional tales and deep thematic explorations of human nature". He described the third and fourth volumes of the manga as "an action climax that delivers not only a grand battle but also character-development and world-building. Smaller one-off tales that hit you right in your emotional core." [71] [72] Ross Locksley of UK Anime Network considered it as an interesting take on the fantasy genre by contrasting the enduring existence of one race with the ephemeral lifespan of another, finding it similar to the manga series To Your Eternity , highlighting how the series explores the relationships Frieren builds with the people around her. [73]

Wolfen Moondaughter of Sequential Tart rated the first volume 9 out of 10. Moondaughter highlighted the story's slice of life nature, despite its premise, which involves a "[Dungeons & Dragons]-style adventuring party", and praised the interaction between the characters and the art work, concluding: "If you want a break from fight scenes, and want something more serene and contemplative, this book should serve you well! It's also a lovely story of honouring the memory of lost loved ones, and dealing with grief". [74] Sheena McNeil of the same website gave the first volume a 7 and called the concept of "what happens to the party when the quest is over?" interesting. She praised Frieren's struggle to become less detached and seeing her experience the "lovely poignant moments, bittersweet ones, and happy ones". McNeil also compared the series' pace and feel to those of Haibane Renmei . [75] Antonio Mireles of The Fandom Post named it the sixth-best manga of 2021 and wrote: "Time waits for no man and that line may be overused but that line strikes a chord in this manga. There is always more to discover and Frieren has to learn that lesson as time marches on. It's a sweet but harsh reminder to enjoy the moment for all its worth." [76] Kara Dennison of Otaku USA liked the art and the touches of humanity that help the narrative to appeal, comparing it with Lord of the Rings and other fantasy series. [77] Gracie Qiu for Anime Trending gave it a score of 94.5 out of 100, writing: "Through its characters, its themes, and its astounding execution of the nuanced story, I end each episode looking at my own life, appreciating the journey I have traveled and wondering in anticipation at what is still yet to come." [78]

Critical reception

The anime adaptation received critical acclaim. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End holds an approval rating of 100% based on five reviews, with an average rating of 8.8/10. [99] Digital Spy 's Ali Griffiths praised it as one of the best fantasy anime from 2023, citing its themes surrounding the passage of time as well as praising the show's "cozy, calm atmosphere" and sound design. [100] Richard Eisenbeis of Anime News Network praised the dynamics between the main characters as Frieren's character and backstory develop. [101] Jenni Lada of Siliconera considered it one of the best anime of late 2023, praising Frieren's depths as she wants to reconnect with Himmel following his death in the first episode, while also noting other events in the manga go from drama to slice-of-life. [102]

Dan Mansfield of The Fandom Post praised the anime's fights and narrative, but felt some sex jokes were out-of-place despite appreciating the humor overall. While commenting on Frieren's personality, Mansfield appreciated scenes in early episodes in which Fern comforts Stark, who is worried about being scared. [103] Kambole Campbell of IGN praised the production values and the show's "simple but moving" narrative. [104] Cy Catwell of Anime Feminist enjoyed the soundtrack, comparing it to the music of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom , and praised Madhouse's animation. [105] Ayaan Paul Chowdhury of The Hindu called it "the future of fantasy" and wrote: "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End dares to carve its own path amidst the cacophony of familiar tropes and archetypes".
