Title: Reincarnated as a Sword
Score: 5 stars (minus bugs, but still 5 stars
A great show. Minus bugs. Seriously. Bugs are gross.
We follow the adventures of Fran — a cute cat girl who was once a nobody, a slave, alone... until she finds him: the enchanted sword. But not just any sword. A reincarnated sword. A protector. A teacher. A big brother in blade form.
And from that moment, everything changes.
We see Fran grow strong. But it’s not fake anime strength — it’s earned. Through pain, bravery, fear, and that quiet, burning determination that only comes from having nothing... and fighting for everything.
She doesn’t cry. She fights. She bleeds. And sometimes... she even cooks.
Twelve episodes? Not enough! I want more. More sword. More Fran. More fluffy dog. And Amanda! Amanda is like the world’s softest tank. I love her.
Great graphics. Great music. Great plot. Great vocals. Great animation. Great everything.
Except bugs.
Honestly? This show is slice-of-life meets sharp-edged destiny. A magic world that doesn’t feel like it’s just for laughs. It’s real, even when it’s silly. Even when it’s scary.
If you’re scared? Be like Fran. Be brave anyway.
(Just don’t go in any spider caves.)
Final thoughts?
Big shiny sword. Cute cat girl. Beautiful pain. Gentle humor. Real courage.
More, please.
5 stars. Even with bugs.
