The reason behind this series’ massive success is simply the studio that is producing it. Madhouse is a popular name in the anime industry, and it has created some of the most iconic anime series like Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, and One Punch Man season 2.
The studio was relatively dormant for the last few years as they didn’t take on many projects for a while. The company’s comeback has surely intrigued the anime and manga community. This is the primary reason why this series gained so much popularity and secured the top spot in the top-rated anime category of MyAnimeList.
The plot of Frieren Beyond Journey’s End
A hero’s party is on a ten-year quest to beat the Demon King. The crew consisted of a priest, Heiter, Himmel, Eisen, the dwarf warrior, and Frieren, the Elven mage. They develop close bonds with each other as the journey progresses.
Here is the official trailer for the series with English subtitles. The group successfully gets rid of the Demon King and is elated. It was later revealed that Frieren experiences time in a different manner than other beings.
The ten-year quest was just a small speck of time in Frieren’s life compared to her comrades. She realizes the importance of the bonds she developed with her former comrades when two of her close friends die. She decides to genuinely appreciate the delicacy of bonds as she starts developing new relationships in a new adventure that life has in store for her.
