Frieren: Beyond Journey's End explores a story of an elven mage, trying to rethink human connections.
The anime became the highest rated series ever.
Fans worry it won't last long.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) seems to be going extremely well for now. Fans are hyped for each new episode, various theories are being discussed in all corners of the anime fandom, and some even call Frieren the best anime of the season, if not the year.
Frieren is this season’s must watch
The series revolves around Frieren, who’s an elven mage, whose life has lasted for over a thousand years. During a quest to defeat the Demon King, Frieren made connections to other members of her party. For her that decade was merely a fraction of her life, but when time goes by, and her old comrades start dying of old age, Frieren decides to reevaluate her attitude towards life and human bonds.
Fans have been truly enjoying the anime, and they are eager to express their love and let others know about it, so they’ve started rating the show on MyAnimeList website, which is one of the biggest anime related sites there are. And Frieren is now ranked #1! The series surpassed such anime giants as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Steins;Gate, Gintama and even Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). With a rating of 9.10, Frieren leaves all the other shows behind.
Other fans might want to take revenge
Such an event couldn’t be left unnoticed, of course. Fullmetal Alchemist fans don’t have the best reputation in the anime fandom, and it feels like the first thing people mention under the Frieren news is that it taking the first place is not for long. Fans are waiting for FMAB stans to try to spoil Frieren’s ratings and retake the top spot. It hasn’t happened as of the time this article is being written, but we’re promised this outcome any minute by the fandom.
This all brought up the discussion about the overall reliability of such ratings, as they can be easily affected by an outraged fandom. Anime (and let’s be honest, not only anime) fans tend to prove their point this way a lot, that’s why the scoring systems don’t always work the exact way they were supposed to.
A number of fans find this entire argument puzzling and ridiculous. Why do you even care about the ranking of your favorite anime? If one thing is good and another thing is good, why not just be happy about it and let people enjoy their anime in peace instead of trying to prove that yours is better?
Possibly the best anime of the season?
