Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) is an ongoing anime that shows what happens after a journey ends. The titular character Frieren is a nearly immortal elf who used to be a part of a group of heroes that defeated the Demon King.
Since their goal was achieved, the travelers parted and rarely got together after that except for the day of the funeral of one of the human heroes, Himmel. Frieren realizes that she now cares for those with shorter lifespans and decides to embark on a new journey, to Heaven, where she hopes to meet those she has lost.
Average Household Rating
Episode 12 of Frieren has outranked Doraemon based on the Average Household Rating in Japan. Doraemon is a relatively popular anime about a boy and a robot cat from the future that tries to get the boy to change. It scored 3.7 in Average Household Rating, while Frieren got 4.0.
Fans point out that Frieren has been relatively stable in its scores, never falling below 3.0, but the anime also started with a bang, scoring 6.8 on the day of its premiere.
Note that despite scoring 4.0, Frieren did not reach the top of the Average Household Rating. Three anime scored better than Frieren, including Sazae-san, Chibi Maruko-chan, and Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan). And below Doraemon, Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange (Megumi no Daigo: Kyuukoku no Orange) scored 3.5. Firefighter Daigo appears to be more popular in Japan than in English-speaking countries, while Frieren is loved both in and outside Japan.
Fan Reactions

Frieren is loved by many, and some fans report seeing a lot of Frieren displays in Tokyo’s manga stores and even book stores. There is definitely some hype for the anime, and it is not surprising that it is doing well, but we are still happy to see such a great title receive the admiration it deserves.
