Seems like "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" just wrapped up its latest season, and it didn't go out on a high note. According to ComicBook.com, many are calling it the studio's biggest fumble this year, which is a bummer given the show's earlier buzz.

With Fall 2026 shaping up to have some heavy hitters like "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Black Clover," it's disappointing to see Frieren not hitting its mark.

"2026 offered some incredible anime shows, but Frieren's latest season has disappointed many fans."

It's tough to hear that "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" might have missed the mark with its finale. It's always disappointing when a show with such strong earlier buzz doesn't deliver in the end. I noticed that some fans were particularly let down by pacing issues and character development in the later episodes, which is a shame because the premise had so much potential to explore profound themes of friendship and loss. It seems like there was an opportunity to deepen the emotional stakes, especially given the series' foundation built on the aftermath of adventure rather than the adventure itself. In a year with heavy hitters like "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Black Clover," it's disheartening to think that Frieren's legacy might suffer, especially when it had so much heart to begin with.
