Recently, anime has shifted towards faster-paced series like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, skipping filler content and lengthy explanations disliked by older fans. Some argue that quick-paced shows enhance storytelling, but there is an anime demonstrating that a slower pace can be just as effective, if not better.
A slower narrative pace, seen in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End since its Fall 2023 debut, excels in long-term world-building and character development. This series has captured viewers’ attention, proving that a deliberate pace can still create a masterpiece.
Fans are excitedly responding to the iconic scenes in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, solidifying its reputation as the next big anime.

Honestly, this was just a really beautiful slow paced episode that shows the emotional depth of various characters. The lighting during the Himmel scene with the setting sun really put it a cut above.

One fan expressed excitement, describing the anime as beautiful and slow-paced with excellent character involvement and development. They believe the show is proving itself and has the potential to be a standout anime of the year.
The episode, Fern got upset with Stark for not giving her a birthday present. Fortunately, with the help of Sein, they were able to patch things up and resolve their argument.
What Happened in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Episode 14?
In Frieren anime episode 14, Stark left the inn upset after arguing with Fern on her birthday. Sein, an elder, sympathized with Stark, understanding how Fern’s harsh words might have hurt him. Sein advised Fern to handle relationships, and after some reflection, she apologized to Stark.
Later, Sein encouraged them to reconcile, and the duo made up by buying a gift together. Frieren and Sein observed from a distance and Frieren praised Sein for reuniting them. The episode continued with their journey, encountering a helpful merchant in Bande Woods.
During the journey, Frieren noticed Fern’s bracelet, similar to her own ring from Himmel. A bird monster attacked and caused chaos but Frieren devised a strategy to save everyone. Sein healed the injuries and Frieren noticed the lotus design on Fern’s bracelet symbolizing eternal love.
While waiting for the wagon to be repaired, Fern discovered Frieren’s nightly excursions and learned about the lost ring. The group received a spell from the merchant to find lost accessories, and Frieren found her precious ring. The episode concluded with Frieren asking Fern about her mirrored-lotus bracelet, and Fern amusingly credited it to Stark’s influence.
