Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has quickly become one of the most beloved series of the last few years, alongside the likes of Solo Leveling, Dandadan, and The Apothecary Diaries. Frieren was so big when it aired between 2023 and 2024 that it ended up dethroning Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood on MAL, becoming the best-rated anime of all time. This is no small achievement and shows how incredible the anime was.
