It doesn't typically start like any other fantasy with the aim of defeating demon king. Rather it's about the story of the journey that comes afterwards with it's significance unfolded along the way instead of revealing the purpose early on. Truly, it's not about the ending rather the joy of journey itself.

The transitional storytelling is smooth. The connection of present event with similar past event comes with cohesive direction. You'll never feel one scene popping after another instead you'll
...
feel the connection of relevance.

An unorthodox diverse perspective of magic in typical fantasy world building. It doesn't have a great world building and that's exactly the reason it made difference in that generic framework by showcasing in that very set up that "adventure" is NOT always about fighting rather it's about the "joy of journey" itself. Different world building wouldn't have made it "relevant or relatable"
Source of all magic is same. So yes it would be generic. But it's not "generic" like about exploring that fire, water, earth, air and such basic elements. Magic is not presented as random healing/just offensive power in the typical setting. Rather the presentation focuses more on the perspective showcasing "magic is fun" to some and to others it's a "tool for killing"
Unique presentation of how devotion in suppressing mana (not sealing) for lifetime can turn out as lethal weapon.

Though not foreshadowed long before but whenever it's necessary the show doesn't shy of taking time in build up to avoid deus ex machina. It takes time for about half/full episode for the build up by showcasing things of past. One such example is about the past of deceptive mana suppression revealed later in Frieren the Slayer episode just before the final showdown. It didn't feel like popping out of nowhere.

Hero is not always about welding powerful sword, it's about the willful intention to do good and courage to apply that. Warrior is not about courage rather about hard work. Fear can be a method of growth. Expressing these meaningful thematic ideas into cohesive conversations and blending them with light hearted ones is mastery of story and script writing.

This is basically a character driven show. Long lifespan comes with the gift of longevity but also with the curse of not appreciating things timely. Frieren gets self realisation along the journey but also paves way for the growth of new generation of humans by interacting with them. How the impact of character like Himmel was portrayed without even existing in present time required extraordinary direction. Most of the fantasy shows either portrays the parallelism of good among demons or their brutality. But Frieren dives deep into their non cooperative deceptive nature with pride in magic that turns out to be a fatal flaw.

A simple example will be when Ubel fights her clone; there are intentional spreading of dust by both to obstruct each other's full view to stop them from using binding spell.

Evan Call, the music composer of Violet Evergarden masterfully crafted atmospheric soundtracks which were perfectly used in suitable moments.
