As her party saves the world, Frieren the elf travels the world to learn new magic spells. As the time passes and she promised to meet them after 50 years she returns to meet them for the last time kinda with his aged friends. She cannot feel any feelings being an elf. Good start

It's just episode 1 and is already heart-wrenching. Frieren cries regrettably for not anticipating how small human lifespan is and not being able getting to know Himmel better. It perfect captures how painful for a character to lose a loved one because of time. Top tier execution

This show is so cozy to watch. We follow the journey of Frieren, a thousand-year old elf who helped defeat the Demon King. Now she must move on to a new adventure. It's great for anyone who loves fantasy.

The animation is insanely superb! Beautiful landscapes and sky shots almost like a storybook. The pacing is slow with minimal action and features a lot of quite conversation and time skips. I guess this mirror the time passing differently for an Elf & humans. P.S Fern is so cute

Given this information, it is evident that the first episode presents to the audience a slow-paced story with minimal action. However, this is unusual for an episodic series, as the show begins not before or during the journey, but after they have reached the end, focusing on the

Unexpectedly touching. Quality is evident from the start with beautiful music and calm storytelling. The loneliness of immortality pierces through from the start. Knowing that all your loved ones will leave this world one by one and being left alone is a difficult feeling.

We are introduced to an already established team, them reminiscing their past memories as they complete their final quest. We realize this anime is going to be melancholic in the best way possible. Frieren continues on her own adventure but not alone, telling her new story.

Although it starts slow, the episode takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. It focuses on heartfelt moments rather than action, and it does it beautifully. For a first episode to hit this hard emotionally really makes you want to keep watching.

Episode 1 skips the usual heroics, showing life after the Demon King’s defeat. FRIEREN reunites with her aging friend Himmel, witnessing the quiet heartbreak of time’s passage and realizing too late what she never truly understood about human connection. Calm, reflective, deeply

Living up to the title, the series begins at the end of a journey that reminds me of a Dungeon and Dragons party, where a group of adventurers are about to lay down their arms and finally take in the peace, and gives a curious perspective on what happens after the final battle

Frieren's first episode has an unusual beginning compared to other animes it starts on the end of her journey and how she proceeds her life after a long, epic adventure she had with her past companions, the art is fabulous and has a deep emotional lore. I highly recommend.

Although it's nostalgic, this is still a great fiction story. The sad part of falling apart from your beloved one can still be felt by even the most unconcerned person. The important memories that will never return after someone dies.

In just one episode I find myself caring and mourning the death of a character that only appeared for about 15 minutes. As the series goes on, like Frieren I can retrace my steps in order for me to know who Himmel is as a person

In just the first episode, I found myself caring for the characters and eager to see more of their journey. The art is gorgeous and cinematic, the story gentle yet emotional, and I love how the quiet moments are lifted by music in key scenes.

Slow paced but cinematic and impactful beginning. The story cinematically shows how time moves differently for Frieren. An elf reminiscing the times she once took for granted.

The introduction to this anime was beyond touching as we follow the story of Frieren, an elf mage. It's not your typical fantasy anime as it has a slow pace that highlights the emotions and characters' personalities more.
