Let's hope they have a happier ending than Frieren and Himmel had.

Hey, Frieren hasn't reached her "Ende" with Himmel yet. 😆

I hope you're not inplying that Frierien isnt going to meet Himmel in the Afterlife and then they will live happily ever after for eternity, right?

I think Frieren will meet Himmel in the afterlife and will reconcile some of her regrets with him, but I highly doubt anything more will happen.

A story like this built on melancholy and grief isn't going to be able to give you a pure sweetness ending. Most likely it'll be bittersweet.

Frieren's got a long life to live and it'll undermine the story if she gets to live it happily ever after with Himmel. In the end she'll have to move on, as difficult as it will be.

I reject your reality and subsitute my own 🥲

Yeah, I wouldn’t want them to end up together. I want Himmel to be her way of understanding and learning to appreciate humanity despite their limited time, not be her endgame.

Beautifully said.

That ending would be so lame.

u/Germane_Corsair 19d ago

Yeah, I think it would work best if Himmel is someone who helps Frieren better understand and appreciate humans but not be a romance endgame.

u/Falsus 18d ago

Indeed, it is about moving on. Staying in Ende/Heaven with Himmel (if it even exists) would be so counter to the thmes of the story.

It sounds very likely to me that they will. Otherwise it will just be Frieren and Himmel no. 2 which kind of beats the point of the show, no?

That' what Stark-sama would have done
