2024 has been a great year for anime, and if you're looking to dive into one of the best shows of the year, preorders are now live for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Part 1 on Blu-ray. This release contains part one of the critically acclaimed fantasy anime's first season. It's set to launch on December 17 and is currently available for $47.24 (was $70) at Crunchyroll.

The Blu-ray release collects the first 16 episodes of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season one, plus a few special features like clean credit sequences, promotional videos, and more. It also includes a set of art cards featuring several of the characters from the main cast.

Adapted from an original manga series, the anime follows the titular Frieren, a powerful elf who has lived for over 1,000 years. By the time the show begins, she has just completed a 10-year-long quest to defeat the Demon King, alongside the heroes Himmel, Eisen, and Heiter. Because of her long life, a decade is nothing more than a brief moment in time for Frieren, and as the decades pass, Frieren slowly begins to understand human mortality and the connections she forges along the way. The result is an incredibly emotional series that hits you right in the feels, and with famed animation studio Madhouse bringing everything to life, Frieren looks magical.
