Frieren: Beyond Journeys End Cosplay Focuses on a Touching Reunion
Frieren and Fern reunite in the real world thanks to cosplay following season one's finale.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has become a fan-favorite in the anime community thanks to its introspective story focusing on a nearly immortal elf and her journey in a world where most of her comrades are anything but. With the first season brought to life by Studio Madhouse, the anime adaptation has garnered quite the following so it should come as no surprise to see cosplayers bringing the characters to life. While Frieren might be on hiatus, cosplayers are creating reunions of the major players of the series.
In the initial episodes of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, the elven protagonist finds herself able to defeat the Demon King with her fellow travelers. Thanks to Frieren's exceptionally long life span, she is able to outlive some of her companions but in doing so, finds herself coming to the realization that she needs to better understand humanity and the people of her world. One major player in Frieren's new quest has been Fern, a young magic wielder who attempts to bring some much-needed humanity to her mentor's life.
Frieren x Fern: Cosplay Reunion
Unfortunately, Madhouse hasn't confirmed whether Frieren's journey will continue with a second season following the first season's end. Luckily, considering the following of the anime adaptation and the fact that there are many stories from the manga left to be adapted, the chances of a season two are fairly decent. Frieren herself might have learned a lot in season one, but her journey continues.
If you haven't had the opportunity to check out Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, the first season is currently streaming on Crunchyroll. Here's how the streaming service describes the touching series, "After the party of heroes defeated the Demon King, they restored peace to the land and returned to lives of solitude. Generations pass, and the elven mage Frieren comes face to face with humanity's mortality. She takes on a new apprentice and promises to fulfill old friends' dying wishes. Can an elven mind make peace with the nature of life and death? Frieren embarks on her quest to find out."
