    Had potential

    It's just a waste. This could have been way better. The plot was just all over the place. There were too many unanswered questions through the whole story. Don't watch it because it's just a waste of time. The ending succes too

    Weak plot

    The plot , characters, everything is a little boring.
    4faithfulgrace-330-50991

    Sloppy and stupid with a ridiculous concept to boot...

    Problem 1: anyone who touches a weapon of any kind basically turns into a demon controlled monster who wants to kill everyone. Why is that's problem? Well you can't care about characters if they cease to exist the moment they engage in the story.

    Problem 2: There are so many characters that have nothing to do with the overarching plot, making the story confusing to follow.

    Problem 3: the first rule of writing is: you have to play by the rules of the world you create. These writers just make up rules to fit the moment with no consistency. The world fees very undeveloped because they have no true rules to what the world is.

    Problem 4: character motivations are obsurd and they make no sense.

    Problem 5: No real good guys. Just people who don't turn evil as fast as others.

    Problem 6: the actual plot is completely lost in a bunch of wild and non-sensical scenes that no one cares about.

    Problem 7: (petty problem alert) The main character (Gai) is a tiny part of the story. Weird. Why name the show after someone who's almost never in it?

    Here's the message of Swordgai - everyone is evil and weapons make them demons. The only not totally evil people are Buddhists who avoid violence. No matter how good someone may be, protecting themselves or others will turn them evil. The end.

    All over the place.

    I just got so fed trying to understand the story that I felt a compulsive need to write this review. 1. Save yourself the trouble. The plot they created can itself be counted as one of the worst plot ever. It is so messed up that even writer doesn't understand what story to develop in the world he created. 2. Main characters have forced romance. Their background story is so messed up that writer abandons them mid way, It doesn't even matter if they are in the story or not. The ending doesn't match with premise they had built, main guy saves the world out of no where and no reason because suddenly writer realized near the ending that he was the main guy. 3. One of the worse story ever created (at least for what I've seen till now). It's like writer have created lots of different stories, now he had to to connect these stories with world he created, but he is really bad at playing puzzle, so he utterly fails to connect dots within the story making it easily the worst story ever created. 4. Now this point is for you if you are like me. If you think that I'm not here for the story / plot, etc. I'm only here for action scenes. Trailer shows people wielding swords, and sword fights are pretty good. Then I'll stop you here. This show by far has the worst fighting scenes ever created. though they tried adding 3d armors, but that is all it has. Very poor fight scenes. has no logic/ thrill involved.

    Really dull and boring in every aspect. It is like animators and writers were challenged by someone to create worst possible show ever. If so, they passed with flying colors.

    stop watching it after first season. and regret I even started.

    I searched for a fun anime at netflix, and I saw this title. there are too many characters, and they are all dumb so you cant connect to them. The animation is repeated like 80's cartoon, it reminded me of He-man. each time Gay (gai) transformed his hand to sword, the same moon can be seen in the background.
