Studio Madhouse’s 9.3/10 Rated Show Is Officially The Greatest Anime Of The Last Decade

Over the past few years, the anime series scene has been nothing short of spectacular, with numerous new shows like “Dandadan”, “Solo Leveling”, and “The Apothecary Diaries” making their debut and impressing viewers immensely. Among all these exceptional series, the one that truly stands out is a show titled “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”. This remarkable anime, produced by Madhouse, boasts an impressive rating of 9.3 on MyAnimeList (MAL), making it the highest-rated anime on the platform.

Frieren can certainly be described as one of the standout animes of the 2020s, thanks to its exceptional animation and captivating narrative. However, despite its merits, it didn’t manage to clinch the title of anime of the year, which left many fans feeling somewhat disappointed.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Has an Insane 9.3 MAL Rating

  • It Is The Number 1 Anime on MAL
  • A Fan Favorite Series For a Reason

On MAL, short for MyAnimeList, one of the most prominent anime platforms, particularly renowned for its ratings, a significant number of fans consider the rankings extremely important. Notable anime series like “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood”, “Fullmetal Alchemist” (2003), and “Death Note”, among others, have held the top position on this platform.

Currently, the top-ranked show isn’t any other than Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, boasting an astounding rating of 9.3. For more than a decade, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood held this position in the anime community. However, Frieren managed to dethrone Fullmetal Alchemist, which was a significant milestone for the anime world. Since then, approximately two years ago, Frieren has maintained its position at number one, and it looks like other shows may find it challenging to unseat it from this spot anytime soon. It might take several more years before fans witness another series claiming the highest MyAnimeList ranking.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Didn’t Win Anime of the Year, But it Definitely Deserved It

Frieren Is Superior to Anime like Solo Leveling

Although Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End received a significant victory at the MAL awards, it missed out on winning the coveted title of Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards. Surprisingly, this accolade was claimed by Solo Leveling, an anime that doesn’t even rank among the top 300 on MyAnimeList (MAL).

Some viewers think that Solo Leveling’s win for Anime of the Year was unjustified and feel that such a series doesn’t merit this recognition. The controversy deepens as these awards were given around the same period when Solo Leveling started its second season, potentially influencing voters’ perceptions. On the other hand, Frieren had concluded a year prior to the award ceremony.

It’s anticipated that any issues with the Frieren series could be addressed in its upcoming second season. If this new season maintains the same level and quality as the first, it should please the viewers.

I’ve been following the progress of the Frieren manga closely, and I was delighted when it resumed after a pause, signaling the end of its hiatus. For those eagerly waiting to continue the journey with Frieren, the manga “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is available online on Viz Media’s platform. Regarding the anime adaptation, season 1 of “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” can be found on Crunchyroll, complete with all its episodes. As we anxiously anticipate season 2, these platforms provide a great avenue to enjoy the captivating storyline of Frieren.
