It deals with very important topics.
Summary:

- It’s perfectly normal to be inspired by anime.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Sousou no Frieren) is great in more ways than just one. While it’s undoubtedly well-made — both the visuals and the music — and has points that appeal to everyone, some fans actually argue that it is very inspirational. That might sound weird, yes, but fans who say that actually make good points.
Cherish moments of happiness
One of the most important themes of Frieren is how time affects people and relationships. While Frieren’s own struggles with understanding others are obviously something quite removed from real-world issues — after all, she has lived for over a thousand years, something that can’t happen in real life. However, the theme is still relevant.
Frieren can inspire viewers to finally stop wasting time on unimportant things. After all, everything is temporary, and you should actually treasure every moment. Time spent with others can influence you greater than you might initially think — something that happened to Frieren herself.
She notices how her time with the Hero Party changed her life, even though she didn’t think of it much at the time.
Not only the main themes of the show are inspiring
Even the First-Class Mage Exam arc, which is mostly action-heavy and doesn’t have much to do with some of the more introspective aspects of Frieren, is very inspirational in itself. The exam tests magical aptitude and quick thinking of the candidates, yes.
However, the inventor of the current format, Serie, refused to pass Frieren in the end. The reason? The fact that Frieren doesn’t take magic seriously and doesn’t try to constantly improve herself.
These qualities are important in life, and characters who pass actually exhibit them — showing that just being good at something isn’t enough.
It’s fine to be inspired by anime
Overall, you can never know what can inspire you. There’s nothing shameful about being inspired by an anime series — especially by one as good as Frieren.
The anime is well-made and deals with topics that are important — and does so in a very mature and sensible way. If the anime teaches you some important life lessons, then it succeeded at something — which makes it even better than it was before.
Even if you aren’t necessarily inspired by Frieren, it’s hard to deny how important its topics actually are. We rarely get anime that manage to combine so many great things at once — Frieren has already confirmed its “modern classic” status
