Episode 37: Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, is it the best new manga?
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a manga and anime that has quickly become a modern classic. It tells the story of an elf mage who outlives her companions after their great quest, and then begins a quieter, more contemplative journey through memory, grief, and what it means to value the fleeting lives around us. The guys get together to discuss Frieren in both its manga and anime forms, unpacking the themes of time, legacy, and friendship. The pleasure of a story like Frieren is in reflecting on it—and talking it through with friends. Give us a like and subscribe!
