I wasn't feeling this start much, primarily only beause of the first half though.

Now that the sword and the girl are united, i'm expecting it to get much better.

Looks true to the manga


Just a small comment here, the source material for the anime is the light novel.
The manga also is base on the light novel, but changes small details, that i would not expect to see in the anime.

Have a nice day :)

I'll be honest; I am extremely new to isekai and it isn't really a genre I reach for often. I only started watching this because of my FAL team but you know what... I'm really glad I did. This first episode was awesome, hilarious and an amazing start to this! I'm excited to see where it goes!

I mean it's an interesting premise, but pretty generic in plot of reincarnation being OP despite being just a sword and the weilder is both stereotypical anime catgirl that, I hope in the future, will amount to an interesting nuanced character compared to sword-kun

Pretty good fighting animation, not too much CGI. I've been following the web novel. So far quite satisfied.

Honestly, I probably should have known that reincarnating as a sword is a gimmicky premise that might not have much of a satisfying run. I came in thinking, "Ha hah, what a funny concept", but now I'm realizing that there might be ways others work with that premise well, but most attempts would probably be lackluster. I don't know what to say. It's just not as interesting as I hoped and it's making me realize that I picked up quite a few gimmicky anime this season. I'll have to purge a few. Having a gimmicky part is fine if you really like the gimmick, but if you don't then you'll get real tired real fast... and I was already tired near the beginning of the episode. I dunno. I think I might be out.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Subtitles were overwhelming for me I don't know but I stopped the episode several times just to see what he is saying what is written in his stats.
Animation was better than I anticipated and in Fran vs Twin head bear scene, Animation became soo fluid. I really liked the voice actor choice, he if perfect for voice of a sword and Fran is an interesting character as well. My only complaint for the episode is they should have paced the episode little bit slower, the English Subtitle were too fast for me. And it's first time ever where it's hard to read them for me.
Episode was 7/10! Let's see what anime have to offer.

A talking sword and a cute cat neechan, very interesting premise going on for this one. The main genres attached to this show is 'Action' and 'Fantasy' and I didn't expect it to have so much comedy in it but I like it.

Extra bonus points for the VA of Bleach's Kisuke Urahara. 😍

So this time the MC has reincarnated into a weapon (instead of a hero, or a villain or even a monster). He and the goblin slayer would be the perfect duo.

The pacing was uhh... Weird.

It feels like during the bits before the sword meets the cat, it's trying to do what Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?'s A-story did, but with zero of the emotional beats, struggle, or deeply internalized fight or die misery... in like 10-ish minutes.

Oh yeah and it bothered me that the sword
Because I know these power-display cliches too well to know that it's not going to be done again because it'll be too convenient for the plot at a later point.

Setsuna'nın mc olduğu, yetenek sisteminin bariz tensei shitara slime datta ken'den alındığı, zaten klişe olacak diye ana karakterin ölümünü bile tam göstermeyen karışık kuruyemiş minvalinde bir seri olacak gibi. Keşke o kadar şey alınca Mushoku Tensei'den de isekai karakter için psikoloji alsaymış. Başka bir dünyaya gelen birinin öteki dünyayla alakalı hiçbir şey hissetmeden düşünmeden yaşaması bana saçma geliyor. Ne bileyim Ay'a bakıp sevgilisini hatırlayıp üzülsün mesela. Yine de izlenir bir seri

Surprisingly decent premiere.

Based Miki voicing sword is the biggest positive of course, but the most I'm glad about this didn't have the usual black haired Kirito clone as a protag, I mean you can get that thing from poster itself but still. Visuals too not looking half-baked, so that's a good thing too.

Hope I don't drop it going forward though.

Wdym? Nothing important was skipped. The problem is when you turn it into anime, no matter what it will look way goofier than the light novel, even if it was 1:1 adaptation.

Studio C2C is doing a good job with TenKen. Since their Tsukimichi adaptation,I trust them more, and I hope they keep the same quality for the rest of this season.

This also makes me more excited about their next Isekai/Game anime, ShanFro and Handyman Saitou

You can tell they wanted to get the Teacher solo part out of the way ASAP, to get into Fran + Teacher earlier. And i can't blame em for it, judging by the comments here.

Literally the most boring part of the series. It's is speedrun in a third of a manga chapter, and in wn/ln section it's loved or hated due to how much telling instead of showing. Even though the first episode also speedrun it while explaining details while fighting it still feels too long imo. They could had have it done in 5 minutes and save the rest on meeting Fran and traveling to their first town. Which they cut out sadly.

Arguably they could have put the entirety of it in the 2nd episode as a flashback. Not sure if it would have been better or worse.
I don't think Fran and teacher travelling to the first town has been cut. Most likely, that's in ep2.

And just like how people are saying this season : "Oh i though Sword Isekai was gonna be a meme but it's actually pretty good."

People are gonna be surprised by how decent Vending Machine Isekai is.
Not a masterpiece, but it's definetely a cut above the cookie cuter generic "I'm an overpowered Kirito with a Harem"

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Wow they really took the concept of a sword having a mind of its own and took it too ridiculous levels. We got to see some goblin slaying action that both Goblin Slayer and Eris would be proud of. I actually like this and this might be one of the better isekais this season. The bond between Fren and Teacher would be very interesting to see. I also wonder if the author was inspired by the Thundercats series because the Sword of Omens has a mind of its own too and only Lion-O can wield it. The fact that the wielder of the sword is a catgirl can't be a coincidence.
