Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a fantasy anime series based on a manga series of the same name written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. Produced by Madhouse, the anime started airing in Japan on Nippon TV and worldwide on Crunchyroll on September 29, 2023. I know the show is relatively popular here (it even won The Pit for Best Anime Series 2023), so I thought it might be a good idea to start up episodic discussion threads for it. If you would like to see these discussion threads continue, let me know!
