Synopsis
Beryl Gardinant, a self-proclaimed "humble old man," is a sword instructor at his dojo in a rural, backwater village. In his younger years, he dreamed of glory as a master swordsman, but those days are long behind him. Out of the blue, he receives a visit from a famous former pupil who brings him world-shattering news—he's been appointed as a special instructor for the knights of the Liberion Order! With his life now turned upside down, Beryl travels to the capital and reunites with some of his former students: elite knights, an ace wizard, and even an adventurer who's attained the highest guild rank possible. But why do they all want his tutelage?! As far as he's concerned, they clearly don't need him anymore. Can Beryl live up to his new position? And will he ever get a moment's peace away from his adoring students?! (Source: J-Novel Club)

Something about Yasuharu Takanashi (Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu) is hilarious. Like out of their entire portfolio why that show?

Heavily excited for some cool old man action, this story has so many awesome characters with sick titles. Hope we get to see The Roaring Blade animated.

@desusama eh, it's just boring to always credit the same anime, like Fairy Tail and Naruto, and Tsukimichi seems more fitting (and still popular enough) for that type of anime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@DatRandomDude Fair point. They have enough work in their bag to mix it up from time to time. Can't wait to see how they score this story in particular.

Looking at the animes Passione has done so far... I feel like this is going to be Records of Ragnarök all over again. (Though RoR was produced by a studio that made anime in the past that prove they could have done good animation if they had been paid more than peanuts.)

Manga is incredibly good with action, sword fight choreography and art. But Passione not the studio, what give it any justice.

This sounds to be my type of anime. Looking forward to Spring 2025.

” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36]
