Reincarnated as a Sword Ep. 5 Reaction [FULL]

Also somebody probably already told u @Fresh, but Teacher got no Eyes and Ghostly hands in the LN. Its just for the anime audience^^ and afaik others in the world can't see them either.

what i liked seeing was it showed fran can always be in danger if the sword isnt careful, unlike many other protagonists our fran is vulnerable

Fran is trying to keep a low profile (albeit not a very good job). If the other adventurers saw she soloed the King and Queen, questions would be asked. Also since this is a guild subjugation/exploration quest, the guild determines which monster drops/loot the adventurers keep.

Tell that to Solo leveling.

Waiting for it to win the next fantasy poll after Yona, no cap

JoeFreshest

WDYM? Why would they think that? Last I checked, Monster Crystals are valid loot drops, since they contain mana n shieet, so why wouldn't an Adventurer loot the crystals while ignoring low tier mobs like gobbos after that?

Purple is generally used for Gravity Magic, w/ Darkness Magic being pitch black usually

Grimgar - isekai with lots of stakes

The guild doesn't know that Teacher absorbs skills and gains experience by destroying crystals. If he had absorbed the crystals from the King and Queen and the other adventurers had shown up they would have been like "hey where are their crystals?". Also keep in mind Fran is not an experienced swordsman. She's only strong because of the skill sharing ability.

I think stakes are definitely important for a series that isn’t going completely unique. The thing is, I don’t expect most isekai to be too unique. What is unique about this is the MC is a sword, still OP, highly skilled as most isekai MC are. I still really like this, but I have seen so many bad and mid isekai that when they do the isekai basics well, I still enjoy it. Also definitely don’t want Fran to lose her hands, that’s excessive.

JoeFreshest

She took the one dudes feet, so when the demon fought her, she had to give him a hand or two

JoeFreshest

Well I guess its just this show being the one with almost the exact same scenes as some isekais recently. Eminence in shadow is an edgy chubi getting isekai and being strong, but at least I can find enough of a difference to stuff in recent memory to quite enjoy it. This one, I guess Im hoping that besides the slice of life portions, typical to shows like this, theres something else. I also guess Isekai is just taking a toll on me since Im exposed to more weird and diverse plots due to some movies, shows and books Ive been fortunate to see/read. The latest one in recent memory that left an impression on me was the Angelerium, the images that acompany it, with its depictions of entities in the story are also really good. I guess Im a sucker for animes that break the mold and take risks accordingly to great success.

You're talking about Skittles and full metal alchemist isekai and as far as stories in Mexico having the same trope or running gag you could look at every TV show movie anime book everything at some point in time has the same running gag that's not to say that there are very good ones or very bad ones out there it's all dependent on how the story is told whether it's the same story or not

Brian Carotenuto

Its just like eating a candy made in a factory with different colors but the same taste. Full metal alchemist I remember had the characters loss of limbs remain as a consequence that took them a long time to get back. Those were 6 year old children. Moreover what I meant is that without stakes and a story thats only changed in a few spots compared to others. It just gets boring after every season its the same story, with a different color pallette per say. I mean, when childrens story in Mexico have more consequences than this, its just a running gang at a certain point. Its something Ive also got with Knights and Magic, which is currently on the patreon, it almost feels like the audiences have become complacent in a hole of their own making. Nothing wrong with enjoying it, but I dont see any point on getting annoyed for me commenting what I believe is making the show a bit sub-par, for me of course.

Paragon Goetia

All good just a small miss understanding

Dragon_Max

Very sorry about that my bad I totally forgot he did mention the sword technique I thought you were talking about when he was talking about arms growing back and showed the clip of Piccolo

Brian Carotenuto

I never mentioned anything about dbz I was just saying it was nice seeing him call a attack that Fran was using being one in bleach

Dragon_Max

Ok

Brian Carotenuto

Other than SAO what other isekai had stakes there's none that I know of and you're saying you're losing interest in this anime just because they let a twelve-year-old girl have her hands back

Brian Carotenuto

I choose not to watch it

Dragon_Max

Man you really do need to watch dragon ball Z that is one of the top 3 of all times that is the grand daddy of fight scenes

Brian Carotenuto

Why is it every isekai where theres no stakes, it kind of makes it all pointless. If she had lost her limb and instead then had to use a metal prosthetic with downsides (so that way she can still weild the sword), that wouldve done it for me but rn, my interest on the show is almost gone 😐.

Paragon Goetia

Another great episode, i had my mouth open for a while at the disarmed scene, brutally shocking for our lil Neko....

Knighthammer

I know nothing about dbz

Dragon_Max

when Getsuga Tenshou doesn't work then you're in trouble.

Aco2Draco

That was Piccolo from DBZ

Brian Carotenuto

I’ve been waiting all day to see your reaction to this liked your reaction also it was great that you mentioned about bleach in the episode

Dragon_Max

While I do enjoy the anime, in the LN Fran shows way less expressions. And last episodes bath scene was more sexualized than I remember from the LN. But yeah, just some small critics to an overall enjoyable adaptation 😄
