Da campagnolo stagionato a gran maestro di spada

I didn't read the manga, so I am not able to compare to the adaptation but it is impressively good in my opinion.

I feel it as an anime for adults as it brings something different, a storytelling, a beginning story and a main character who is not a "super super hero" as most anime bring, he is human! Yes a human, no lasers no super powers, just a skilled human.

It somehow bring an old medieval RPG feeling, like Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. If you played it you will understand.

Episodes are short, something like 20min each, not a lot of action but when it has it is pretty entertaining. All characters are charismatic, I don't think you will regret watching it. Highly recommend it.

Let's divide this into parts. Art is fine, drawing and animation are perfectly clean. The pace is a bit fast, with flashbacks that add more context, but it does not feel convoluted, and the progression of the characters is nice, however, the bigger plot has a slow building. I really like this, feels somewhat like Frieren in the pace and feeling of the episodes. I have not read de manga (never had read one), so my perspective is pure and clean from those biases. It is very enjoyable, I stumbled upon this anime by chance and have enjoyed it a lot. It is a bit bloody, not so much as other more popular animes, but aside of that is SFW and the main character is such a nice and relatable guy that makes you connect with him, it is a very good watch.

I've just finished watching episode 5 and I've never read the Manga. Yes it's a bit of a slow burn. But after episode 5. I can see there is a much larger story yet to come to fruition.

I love the ever evolving friendships and maybe future relationships, that are teased.

The visuals are great.

The main protagonist is a genuine nice guy. Who really has know idea how amazing a swordsman he is. But I can see with time this may evolve.

The other characters are great so far and each one has its own personality.

The world I can see is vast and could definitely evolve and expand with time.

But my biggest compliment I can say. Is I look forward to watching it each week, and to me that is the most important thing. If it can give you a little joy in this ever changing world. What is there to not love.

Please give this Anime a go. It may not be right for you and that's ok. Also if you have read the Manga. Don't go into it expecting a like for like. From what I've read in other reviews. It's not the same. Just watch it for what it is...it's own story.

Thanks for reading my review and I hope you have a great day 😀

I found this anime to be quite entertaining. I would like to read the manga to see how much the show follows the manga. I enjoy the characters and was pleasantly surprised, and look forward to the second season. I had no preconceived expectations, and I absolutely loved the plot. I felt the anime fight scene effects were excellent!

They remove all the good things in the manga. The art style in the manga was casual, but the way the author describe all action scenes is very good and have the hype we all need. Then in the anime, not only it has terrible animation, but also change the detail unnecessary, make all the whole fight tedious. I know i shouldn't expect anything from when the trailer revealed, but they really make me feel more disappointed through every single episode. I dont even know who would let this pos exist. The manga was already not known much, why they decided to make an adaption with terrible quality like this, i just dont understand.
