Netflix is continuing to bolster its ranks of incredible anime shows with news that Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is heading to the streaming platform. Announced on Twitter, the fantasy show will be available in the US, Canada, and Latin American from March 1.
Based on the Japanese manga series written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, the adaptation follows the elven mage Frieren as she reflects on her time journeying with the members of the hero’s party to defeat the Demon King. After witnessing the death of some of her former comrades, she decides to change her future, forming closer connections with humans and beginning a new journey.
The show is hugely beloved and it is currently highest rated on MyAnimeList, with an average fan score of 9.31. Plenty of Netflix’s followers have been sharing their excitement that it’s heading to the streaming platform too.
