2 episodes well made, more wholesome scenes, Fran character development after she gains strength, hope it stays consistent doesn't become like an isekai-harem anime.


This is NOT a harem story, thankfully.

They skipped over the whole hunter-gatherer skill, how they worked towards it or anything at all, suggesting that they were able to make millions from what was collected basically over a few months.

I feel like this is too lighthearted for my taste. Some kind of magical girl opening, some kind of sad orhpan girl sitting in the rain ending. I expected much more when I was first introduced to this through the first trailer.

It's good quiality, but I really wished it was more gritty with more drama, with more emotions. With "show-dont tell" kind of approach. I wanted this to be a "new grimgar of fantasy and ash", or madoka, but it let me down.
First episode caught a giggle or two from me, but it all just became average.
Miki Shinichiro has such a nice dramatic voice, I wanted him to do a new Kaiki Deishuu here, but instead he is constantly doing the comedic exclamation. I'm going to watch it fully, but it all is just a 3/5 for me from now.


As you saw from the slaver death scene and the bully leg scene, they are not afraid to be a bit darker than you generic fantasy show. There are more of those moments throughout the season.

Man, this episode sure did kicked this show to a different gear of awesomeness.

The first episode was fine but this one here really was great. It's so nice to see more of Fran which she comes across so adorable and badass. Sure, Sword-kun gives her the helping hand but she can also hold her own against those thugs which you can't help but cheer her on and the soundtrack is blazing.

Loved that fight between her and the boss guy in the exam room... Fran and Sword-kun is quite duo.

You mean the moment she goes "*glance* *his legs fall off* *they all laugh together and go separate ways*
-What happened?
-I just used sword's vibrations to use it without moving.
-wooooah, you're cool"
That was one of the weirdest, weakest and most cliché power trip moments of them all. She went from a slave to samurai jack in one episode. That is right after teacher scans and says that he is one of the weakest swords around in terms of power.
And they don't show gore as well, so its more like clay figures being cut. The guy with no legs almost laughed together with them.

Its as lighthearted as isekai go. No stakes at all. Not invested in any of the characters sadly. And i was fanboying for half a year, shaking in excitement when i saw that there were two episodes available.

Of course my expectations are my fault only. But even so, I can't get over how rushed it feels to me.

Fran has lived a tough life! Not sure how those ex-mercenaries thought they'd get away with robbing a cat-girl in broad daylight, but they didn't seem to be concerned with thinking at all! Glad Fran did them in. Although she has attracted the gaze of someone who can recognize intelligent swords! That will be interesting to see resolved!

Lol, watched this episode without watching the first one and nothing felt amiss, only after it ended I noticed that it was the 2 episode :o
Kinda not so eager watching the previous one after this, but oh well... it doesn't seem like a bad show, though not sure if it'll be so interesting for me.

Also the sword didn't do most of the work, Fran got a very interesting tactic and abilities in a short span of time.

I find this episode much better than the first one, this time we had a little bit more development, but in episode 1 everything was going on so fast that you couldn't care about the character, now everything is better :3

They're not OP though, they wouldn't have been able to beat the examiner if he didn't give up cause it was simply an exam.
They're gonna meet plenty of allies and ennemies much stronger than them.

And Fran can use those skills so easily already, I wonder how long before she ranks up

Fran continues to be cute, and she was so badass during the exam and when she was giving those rude mercenaries what they deserved.

Literally I just want to keep watching because I love the Fran + Shishou banter, it's still so good hearing Shinichiro Miki's voice come out of a talking sword~
I loved Nell and I hope we get to see her more in the future.

Also hoping that we see Fran + Shishou get outmatched later in the series, right now it seems like they just happen to have a skill for anything that comes their way. So it would be interesting to see what happens in more serious battle situations where the odds are really against them. Otherwise, I'm liking this way more than I thought I would when I picked it up just because the idea of a talking sword seemed funny.
Next episode Fran finally gets a real outfit, excited for that~




I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

Finally got to see the opening this time. The animation was a bit meh... but the song itself was a banger!

Also did she just chop his legs off...? An unexpected gore there.

Solid episode with a nice oped, that load some interesting characters behind.

First town, and all weapon surely had their own uniqueness. But ofc Shisou is absolutely better, with that 'intelligence' title, right? Fran sure is a good child, but looking at her determination with those sharp eyes, ill cheers on you for achieving your goal, mofumimi.

Alright, ill give this a go!

Looks like we're going down the typical route for most isekai's, but that's not to say that what we've seen so far hasn't been entertaining.
Hoping to see a lot more progress with Fran.
Also, so satisfying seeing those thugs put in their place.

Español: Es una muy buena adaptación de la Novela, tiene algunos ajustes narrativos típicos de una obra tan completa como lo fue la novela y que son difíciles de consolidar en un anime si no se realizan dichos cambios. Por lo demás, la narrativa esta casi intacta y la animación es de Muy buena calidad. Para mi esta es la obra que mas esperaba para esta temporada. Ahora se viene lo chido!!!!

Fran & sword chemistry is really good and it truly feel like the sword is teaching Fran everything he finds a proper situation and obviously can't forget that Fran is a fast learner. The new girl Nell's nature is amusing. Really good episode. I'm looking forward to her new costume and how master will hide him from fat swordsmith.

Fran & Shishou might be the duo of the fall season. Then again it's a little too early to decide but imo they are up there.
