The first four episodes were promising. Great setup of characters with the squad. Fantastic musical score along with top rate animation.
The story of an adventuring group containing a mage, fighter, priest and drawf fighting against a demon king is a classic fantasy plot. The characters were beautifully developed with interesting personality.
Unfortunately it started to go downhill from there, with the story turning into a young mage student developing under the teaching of Frieren. Quite a bit of juvenile elements were introduced as well as animation style.
The rest of the season was a long drawn out battle of mages in exam style setting, all have been seen before in other Anime. Whilst there are interspersed glimpses of the original group of adventurers which was far more interesting, the story for me died half way through the season.
For more mature viewing, with just about the best story telling of all, if you haven't seen Attack on Titans as an Anime, or any forms of television, please do so.
