The titular main character, Frieren, is not just a cute and beautiful elf waifu, but also very much relatable, at least to me. She struggles with comprehending how quickly time passes for others, which results both in funny and awkward moments that can be laughed at and emotionally traumatising tragedies. She is nostalgia personified, and is guaranteed to be instantly relatable to anyone who is over 25 and ever felt nostalgia, ever felt like re-living great and memorable moments of their life or re-tracing their previous steps.
The other characters are also good, both the posthumous and alive ones.
It's been ages since I saw a GOOD recently-made medieval fantasy anime (or maybe I just wasn't searching hard enough), and Sousou no Frieren impresses me on all fronts.
