Based on Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe's eponymous fantasy manga series, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End follows an elven mage, Frieren, who embarks on a journey to learn more about human beings and discover a new aspect of herself.

The official website of the anime has provided a short synopsis of the story, which reads as follows,

"Along with the hero Himmel and his friends, the Wizard Frieren defeated the Demon King and brought peace to the world after 10-year adventure. She is an elf who has lived for more than a thousand years. She promises to meet Himmel and others again and sets out on a journey alone."

It continues:

"Fifty years later, Frieren visits Himmel, but while she is still the same as she was fifty years ago, Himmel is old and his life is numbered. Afterwards, she witnesses Himmel's death, and she becomes acutely aware of the fact that she has not done anything to 'get to know people."

Hence, the elven mage decides to embark on a new journey, where she meets enigmatic people and forms a new party. Along with her new companions, Frieren sets off to find the elusive Aureole, located in the northernmost part of the land.

In this captivating quest, the elven mage forms a bond she didn't know she would make. Additionally, she discovers new feelings and aspects that she didn't know existed within her. Oscillating between past and present, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End provides a surrealistic experience to the viewers.
