What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Season 1) - 2023

This anime was recommended to me by one of my daughter's friends.

Frieren was part of a group of heroes that defeated the Demon King. Years pass, and since Frieren is an elf, she doesn't age the same as other members of the party. As they start to pass away, Frieren starts to realize the great friends she had. Along the way, she picks up an apprentice, and they start a journey to get to the northern lands.

This show was awesome. I loved the growth and insights into Frieren. The humor is good and just right for the tones of the show. The music also stood out to me, and I've been looking into possibly getting the soundtrack. The sweet, family moments during the show were so well done, and I especially liked how the past linked with the present.

Frieren isn't finished as a manga, and I'll be waiting for season two of the show. It just aired, so I'm not sure when it will be available. Manga-wise, I'm working my way through Dr. Stone at the moment, and then I plan on getting caught up on Frieren. The story is just too good. And thanks to a sale, I have the first three manga waiting for me. Great recommendation by my daughter's friend and easily earns the Great Show! review.
