A "Reincarnated as a sword" review
ah feck i haven't done that in a while. let me see! A guy get's reincarnated in another world to mostly serve as a teaching narrarator to the true protagonist.
The protagonist which will soon be named "Teacher" wakes up in an unknown world, balanced on a stone display. Realizing he got the basic cliche Isekai/gaming ability "appraisal", he now figured out that he is a sword, specifically, a so called "intelligence weapon" and even harbors some abilities of his own, like telepathy, which he uses to wield himself and slaughter different monsters for fun ... i mean to level up. his luck ran out the moment he landed on mana draining terrain, where a you girl of the black cat clan finds him.
I am so immensly suprised at how good this Anime is so far. I mean what would you think of this concept if you hear about it? not much and pure trash? yes i thought so too. but this anime might not be ground breaking or revolutionary, but exactly because it is as good as it is it managed to inspire me enough to finally write a review again.
first of all. you will obviously find certain cliches if you look for it, but that the main character is not the classic example of, every female being wants to bang them, is quite refreshing. As i already said is the reincarnated main character more of a teacher figure for the, what seems to be, the true Protagonist and also serves as a narative window for the viewers into this world and that is actually what makes this anime so good. It's not the classic example of protag being OP it's more a case of, protag knows his and his comrades abilities and shares our reaction when something suprising or interesting happens.
you obviously could say that is a cheap way of directing our own reactions and you might be right i won't deny that. but seeing the characters interact and specifically our reincarnated protag and our cat eared actual protag is in many moments, so far, just nice.
Will it be a mindbending experience? probably no Is it fun to watch? yes, very much Is it a very odd concept in a way to often milked genre? obviously is there any structural substance to the order of these questions? strawberry jam toast (no) is it worth watching, despite the doubts you might have? Absolutely
i would like to give it a higher ranking but for that i don't know enough. so i will give it a cautious 7/10 why? the interactions are fun, the concept is much better worked out than i thought and it is suprisingly solid so far. meaning. WATCH IT
Hope you liked it your God of Barista DR4POS
