If you've still not watched some of the actually 'good' Isekai shows, I'd say; save your time and watch them instead.
Since there is only Ep1 out for now, you might just check it yourself and decide afterwards - what is way more reliable than ANY sort of recommendation from randos online anyways...

Another isekai... the MC is basically an annoying version of derflinger who ended up being used by that ex-slave young catgirl, well why not at least it has the sword originality but that's all so far.

Hey... it was a good first episode. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't expect it to be this good. I mean... it was better than I anticipated. Fran is so adorable and Shishou is funny as well. They will make a great team. The production looks above average as well. I hope it stays that way throughout the entire show. The OST is great as well. Thanks to Yasuharu Takanashi.

The monster designs looked cool and the animation was smooth, but the characters are predictable as hell. People who have read the source material say it gets better but so far it is just standard isekai #5742.


Minor Spoilers:

It was a slightly interesting idea when the sword (MC) got stuck in the ground because the forest was sapping away all of his mana.

It was also slightly interesting how the MC's mind had been altered due to becoming a sword. He now felt good killing monsters to gain experience and skills, and he also had a burning desire to find someone to wield him. It's similar to how in Overlord (minor spoilers incoming), Ainz's mind had been altered to never feel guilt when working for the benefit of Nazarick.

It was a mix of feelings. First, the animation was dubious, sometimes was acceptable or uncanny, but the camera angles on the last fight was impressive (even the animation was unsettling). The mc and the cat loli are lovely, probably their partnership will be the top o the cake on this anime, hope so. In general, the plot was ok, but the comedy and the grinding gets me a lot. Let's see the next episode.

Starting of the anime was ok for me(before fran showed up). Typical leveling up in isekai. But after fran showed up, their chemistry between those two and frans expression was better than i anticipated. Hope it gets better from this point onwards.

Eh, it's just your average isekai affair. After the sword slaying all the monsters in the beginning, I don't necessarily see the appeal of the interactions with the cat girl. Atleast the bear monster wasn't CG and there was some average fake itano circus. Well, drop for now but we'll see later.

Holy shit this was so good. Gotta change my FAL active team now.

Kinda unique that it was not truck-kun this time but a motorcycle, feels like he was hit on purpose, sad.

Fran is so cuteeeeeeeeeee.

They made the whole levelling-up process of the sword really entertaining to watch. This is the first time I've seen reincarnated as a sword and judging by the first episode it is safe to say this is brilliant. OP sword and cute girl with a goal, nothing more is needed.

This was honestly a really entertaining and great first episode.

It was satisfying to see the sword kill that douche bag dude. I'm surprised Fran seems so normal after what she's been through, it felt like she was just a normal girl but it is all just on the outside. She's become pretty strong within, she feels nothing over killing beasts or seeing a human getting killed in front of her, it's not normal but she's just become tough like that having lived like she did. Sword's and Fran's encounter is going to change both of their lives for good.

And the best thing is Fran is not just any cute girl she's a cute CAT-GIRL, that gets extra points. Cute cat-girl MC? Count me in!

5/5 for this episode. Looking forward to next one.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I just want to say how much I love this story, and getting an adaptation as good as this I'm satisfied, the art, the fighting performances, and most importantly the well-described Fran character, have exceeded my expectations. Don't care about the rating, because I already know I will definitely enjoy this

Awww this was a cute start.
Liked/Enjoyed it so much that I gave the series a rating already, and I rarely give things ratings this early unless I really liked it.

Don't understand the hate but oh well haters gonna hate.

The only thing that bothered me so far is the VA of the sword (in my opinion) is a little on the monotone side (boring/not very expressive). It's rather obvious when he was talking to himself for a big chunk of this episode but hopefully improves and/or not so apparent now that he's got Fran.
Nevermind. I rewatched it and didn't bother me as much as the first time...guess I just had to get used to it....

probably better off being reincarnated as a dildo than a sword. may not slay monsters, but may lay some monster girls. anyway, feels like a decent start for an isekai

I'm not gonna lie the fight with Fran and the two headed bear was quite boring, but other than that it was decent enough. I did like the grindfest the sword does kinda reminds me of the Kumoko when she had grind her way the labyrinth. I also get a master/student vibe from the two (probably a father/daughter relationship)

besides a couple of the deaths being nerfed from the manga the animation, soundtrack, and voice acting is pretty nice. As long as they keep up the good work for the rest of the season we will be in for a good ride

Absolute dogshit first episode

No pacing at all. The sword feels like a flat character, the humor felt forced and unfunny as fuck and I don't even like the sword's seiyuu.

Also we spent like half an episode seeing the sword slaying some random monsters wtf? terrible

He can use telekinesis to move stuff around as if he had hands, it's not really an issue.

These Isekais are really getting out of hand. The majority of the first episode consists of the Sword leveling up. Only a few decent comedic moments. Otherwise, it's pretty subpar.
