| Early streaming started today. I didn't have much expectation at first but this first episode introduced us Arel and parts of his childhood. Arel is more mature than he looks for his age tbh. I had expected something more from him but his character personality and story seems to be highlight so far. Most of the other storytelling should probably be a timeskip to the present soon. |

| ABEMA / HIDIVE early streaming. The 1st Fall show of the season, and Shichio Kuzu's series is quite the average fantasy show for much we've seen throughout the year. And Studio A-CAT at that? Yelp... Kaya's OP is decent to good at that. The life of the 10-year-old boring young boy Arel: where everyone is identified by their skills through their Divine Protection, but him being a "classless" labelled under the image of the famous family of Sword Princess Farah and Archmage Leon, they still hope that their son will make it out big. But when the first instance is Arel meeting other kids who have classes by skill and with them berating him, they're just jealous of him. And if this isn't enough, a red-haired kid who's the lil' one of the adventurers who always seeked his famous mother for quests, wanting to duel with him, he's definitely equal against Arel's skills being taught by his mother. On the other hand, Arel's older sister Astaire is clearly a brocon, and he still needs to improve himself further somemore. However, if the stereotypical goblin attacking him out of nowhere is one small issue, it's the same red-haired kid being attacked by a hobgoblin, only for Arel to save him using the exact same Twin Blade Slice skill that he tried on him before. At least he's grateful for Arel's save to have another rematch, and truly experiencing his skill and expertise that exponentiates beyond boundaries of that a typical Swordsman. The talk about Bresgia, the City of Swords, where the red-haired kid has gone, what ambitions lay over there? Utahime Dream's ED is classic Utahime Dream alright, decent at best. And with that, the show starts off alright, but there's potential to be filled across the board. |

| Kinda Dig Arel's approach to life how he's just like "No Class? Oh well let's keep training" And he's level headed. Show really doesnt have a lot of potential but I enjoy these types of shows so ill probably hang with it. |

| Nothing says new anime season like yet another generic fantasy #1291298123. And ofc it’s by the same studio that gave us TBATE earlier this year. Yeah, this one’s gonna be just as generic, and the first episode already proves it and more lol. So what do we get? A swordsman. Super original. I just find it funny when anime hypes up “being a swordsman” like it’s some big deal. Back in the day, swords were sidearms, people actually fought with polearms, maces, or hammers. The sword was basically backup. Usually, shows like this go with a main character who’s a jack of all trades, master of none. But here, it looks like he’s being set up as a jack of all trades and a master of all trades, since he has no limits (at least not yet). And honestly, do we really need more episodes to figure that out, be so fr xD |

| @KANLen09 Did you just put anime info here?😂😂 Anyways this studio has a bad reputation for anime adaptations. They can't carry a single anime. Most of all they pick only bland shows. Don't have high hopes. Just gonna give 3-5 episodes before dropping. |
| "I've been training for years with the best swordsman in the village." also "I don't know what Twin Blade Slice is." Yup, another low effort show for kids. |
| well that didn't totally suck. but it certainly wasn't awe-inspiring. the intro background work just said it all to me within the first 8 seconds. it looked like crap. barely detailed and horrifically drawn. total low res that any studio in the 1980's Japanese anime industry would throw away and make the BG artists re-draw from scratch. with that and the rest of ep1 i can see why Sentai was the streamer that got this show. i doubt the bigger companies looked twice at this one or even bid seriously on it. the premise is interesting though. kid takes five-ish years of beatings and 'training' from his high-class sword-swinging mom till he's 10. but finds out he doesn't have 'the thingy from the Goddess during the ceremony'. yet, he doesn't get depressed or turns into a loser shut-in. he just gets more determined to figure out how to swing a sword without 'the thingy' that every other sword-swinger has. so, he's a thinker as well as a technique and practice/strength/endurance training junky. the OP does hint a TON that he goes onto magic training somehow and combos spells n swordwork... i guess having a dad who is a spell-flinger and a mom who is a sword-swinger gave this kid something to work with other than 'the Goddess' thingy' everybody else gets. aight, i think i'll keep going with this one. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Really enjoyed this it should be a great show to watch. Arel seems like a good kid I like how he never gives up. |
| Seems like a show I'll probably watch for a couple of weeks then eventually drop out of it by latest episode 6. Not much hope, i've seen cardboard boxes with more personality than the MC. Side cast is going to have to really carry this hard. |
| I'm going to give it a solid 2/10 |
 |
| You gotta appreciate series that don't even try to hide how utterly bland and generic they are, so you can safely drop them without wasting more than 5 minutes on it. |
| This show is a bad omen of the next three months. I'll probably just be reading books until january's new round of anime. |
| The art quality is like a poro or magin label studio (hent**) |
| Well, it looks interesting I liked the protagonist's sister, she's cute |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| Decent-ish first episode. I do like how Arel’s effort has shown fruition. Putting in work again those two idiots early on. His snaggle-tooth sister is a major bro-con. Curious to see how being classless will play out. Hopefully this studio will handle the animation better than TBATE. |
 |
| Boring start to a (mostly) boring season |
| Boring start, but somehow the sister cute, let's give it a try. |
| Typical prologue for an isekai fantasy anime, though I do wonder why this has better animation than TBATE, even though they're supposedly made by the same studio. A bit odd. Anyway, am I the only one really annoyed by the protagonist's big sister constantly ending every sentence with "da, da, da"? |
| Budget animation with very generic plot. But it's watchable so far. |
| Too fast, it’s not even October yet, still September 25, and suddenly episode 1 of this anime already popped up on my favorite streaming site. From the poster it already looked like a template fantasy anime and yeah, turns out the story and animation are exactly that, just template. The concept is like Black Clover, with kids being assigned classes when they’re young. But the MC ends up being “abnormal,” meaning in this case he has no class. My friend even joked that he probably already graduated, that’s why he has no class lol. But anyway, he can absorb other people’s skills. The animation is your typical modern fantasy anime, it only moves well during fights but outside of battles the only thing moving is their mouths. I dropped this anime the same day I watched it and rated it 6/10 on MAL.  |
| So far so good, as a manga reader, I remember the plot and I remember one character who infuriated me ( ), the older sister Astaire, is simply a dcute cgaracter who keeps her word, Raina, as the main character’s companion, is also good, Arel himself, he really doesn’t like to lose, the work itself is not bad. |
| So for those watching this, i highly suggest the 3 epsisodes rule, the first episode was not a good example of this series. I read the manga, while it's not outright comedy like one punch man, it kinda has the same thing going on in it's story in that the mc isn't just op, he's basically a monster that defies all logic to the extreme, so the first episode does not show this well, this should, if it's not taking a different approach than the source material, start showing around the time he goes to the sword city. @UtakaSenpai As i said above i'd give it 3 episodes, that should decide if it follows the manga/novel approach or goes a bit too serious and just becomes another cookie cutter weak to strong story. |
| yeah, this is what i expected from A-CAT jarring slop sith 0 effort, oh well |
 |
| Mediocre in every sense of the word |
| Having read a decent amount of its manga in the past and now seeing it animated, it really is mediocrity at its finest, which is further cemented by being handled by the studio that ruins everything they touch. |
