Can the sword transform to human? Does anyone know? I will surely watch this if the sword transform into human later in the series otherwise unsure.
As far as I've read so far, no it can't.

Yep. Just a loli being super op, but with a big sword.


In the announcement discussion, one guy told me that the MC is basically a surrogate father for her.
That is basically it.

If there is any romance at all? All I know is that Fran is a loli and one of their friends is a suspicious woman with lolicon tendencies.

Wait, I didn't know this was getting adapted. I read both the web novel and light novel even though partially.

trailer looks great, hope C2C does this justice like Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy

Gotta stack up the seasonal line-up from months ago, sigh.

The concept seems beyond stupid but the trailer actually looked quite decent. This will probably be a pretty fun time.

That feel when after twenty years in the business all people remember you for is a last season's generic isekai.

Slime is one thing but a sword?

I can never see the appeal of reincarnating as a non living object.

The visuals and animation looks clean af which I didn't expect at all
