After going on a ten year journey, Himmel the Hero, Frieren the Mage, Heiter the Priest, and Eisen the Warrior defeat the Demon Lord. On the night they come back to be congratulated by the king they see a meteor shower that only happens once every fifty years. However, the party believed that the view wasn't as great as they would like it to be from the city. So Frieren promises to come back in fifty years and take them somewhere where the view is beautiful. After fulfilling her promise, Himmel dies soon after. It isn't until his funeral that Frieren wishes she had gotten to know him better. So she made a goal that going forward she would try to understand humans better. She comes back years later to see Heiter and meets a girl named Fern who is striving to become a mage herself. Heiter asks Frieren to make Fern her apprentice, and take her with her on her travels. While she instantly rejects the idea because Fern would hold her back, she agrees to teach Fern in her spare time while she translates a Grimoire that Heiter found. After four years, Heiter's health declines. His final wish before he dies is that Frieren take Fern with her so that she won't have to suffer any more heartache. Because of how much Fern has improved Frieren agrees and sets off on a new journey.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End was way better than I was expecting. While a lot of Fantasy Anime are about defeating the Demon Lord. focusing on what happens after is a really unique take in my opinion.You can really feel what it would be like adventuring in a time of peace versus a time of war. There is no swearing, and the characters remain modest as well. I would definitely suggest this to anyone who is a fan of the fantasy anime genre.
