Remind me please, this is not an all-female work, where the MC in the sword is used just as a self-insert?

Nah, i wouldn't say so. The balance of male and female side-character is pretty even.
This is also NOT a harem story, thankfully.

Damn, this is looking incredible.
I like the weight and the pace of the sword when Fran swings it, it feels like a good hack and slash game.

Opening and ending previews are great, sounds like i'm gonna like em a lot!

Half the cast ain't even human.

Its more of a "parenthood" themed story between the sword and the cat girl as they struggle against VERY horrible things that happen to them.

Fran looks way too... moe. Though I guess that's just because it's obviously going off the LN art. I'm more use to the manga art where she's looks more serious while still maintaining the cute.

I'm just glad it doesn't look like every enemy isn't a CGI blob. Her fighting/sliding under the bear was probably the best action shot from that PV and it should be the in first episode (unless they decide to do some weird story order). I'm hoping it isn't just an early episode effect where the first few episodes look better then it drops in quality.
