A good way to end the series. It would be nice to get the extra skills from that spider boss though. Also, I wish Amanda had revealed the truth about Fran’s parents to her as there is no harm in doing it at such an early stage.

Hopefully, a second season will be available.

LOL @ Amanda,

"I will protect Fran-chan" *destroys the spider*

*runs toward Fran with booba bounces*

*angry Fran ensues* LOL

Amanda: "oopies"

___ ___ ___

And they downsize Urushi to hide his actual power level (which is Mystical, lol)

And she gets a new armor, hmm... what was that meme about Capes being dangerous? lol (tho they also solved the whole "bikini armor" trope, the armor is powered by magic to repel certain amounts of damage taken even if it's just a belt)

Also, what's the point of Class Change again besides just a title? Cause even before Fran got a class, she can already do the skills based on Sword...

___ ___ ___

And then Fran finally leaves newbie town. LOL

And "Mamanda", that's a really cute nick-name. AWWWW....

And turns out... Fran's parents was the 2 black kittens that Amanda used to train... hmm... how old is Amanda again? **gets Lightning'd**


___ ___ ___

And Fran decides to go Sword-Riding... where's Urushi?

This anime reminds me of BOFURI on how damn mid it is, not bad, but boring, I'm ok (sometimes) with OP protagonist (like Rimuru from TenSura, a great isekai that really should do a crossover with this one, a Slime and Sword duo could be fun), because most of the times the side characters are great, but here are no side characters, no one did anything, Amanda was mostly annoying, and the damn sword, he IS the true protagonist here and I hate him, dude can't stfu for 5 seconds lmao.
Anyways, I only watched this because Fran is cute af, but in the end she is just another mid insolent & OP brat.

5/10 score for this series, I would still watch a 2nd season, they did drop the TO BE CONTINUED after all...

PD: I liked Fran's white armor way more, it was really cute, she looks weird with the new one.

PD2: before someone gets mad at my comment, I say "mid" not as an insult, I don't really know what other word to use to express this, english is not my main language.


I would not say they are that similar first BOFURI was not the best translated its more a character based show where Maple does stupid/weird stuff to get these oddly overpowered ability. But this show is much more action based So Fran and Teacher take on a more classic shonen protagonist, yes she is more similar to goku.

Was overall pretty average, nothing spectacular anime wise. Thankfully Fran is cute and that's all that matters.

I love the rationalization for bikini armor. (Although Fran's does cover a bit more, the explanation would still apply).

My mind immediately went to "bet they are Fran's parents" as soon as they showed it was a male and female black cat Fran raised at the orphanage, but having it confirmed before the first season ended was nice.

Speaking of nice, the quick announcement of a second season certainly falls into that category.

This was a pretty good isekai anime with some great action and music. Fran was a cutie, Amanda was cool, and the other supporting characters were also good. The revelation that Amanda took care of Fran's parents but failed to train them in combat hangs over her head and probably explains why she's so attached to Fran. I don't think we know for sure if Fran's parents are alive so maybe it will come up in the future in the next season.

I am looking forward to season 2 (just announced) and enjoyed watching this first season. Just a couple of minor dislikes were that some episodes felt rushed (like the final episode) and, from what I understand, some scenes were cut from the light novel. Overall I give this a 7/10.

i'm soooooo glad to hear there's gonna be a second season already for this series! i mean, they can't show that post-credit scene and then nothing, ya know?

and i had a feeling the black cats Amanda used to look after were Fran's folks. and it was sweet that Fran decided to call Amanda "mom-anda" just that once hehehe

Fran was cute (her seiyuu did an amazing job too), there were some good OST (first time in a while where I went to look for an OST not released on youtube) and some good fight. 

However, the writing is pretty bad with a lot of "coincidence" or "inconsistency" all over the place, which make it hard to enjoy the show fully.

First of all, you have to wonder how the guild even survived two days before Fran shows up.
Then, everything which happens early with the guild, just "happen" but... the author is just forcing it.
First, you have the C Rank examinator going full power on a newbie black cat, a race supposedly one of the weakest... Sure... Please tell me how anyone except Fran is supposed to pass the examination ? (also, why didn't she get promoted to at least E rank ?)
I mean the three G rank we saw fighting some goblins in the next episode, surely, would have lasted one second against the C Rank. 
Then, the GM "examine" Fran to see if she has any bad intention... While ten second after, there is three really "bad guys" who are trying to kill her... inside the guild and... not only no one interrupt it... Fran has to save herself the receptionist. 
I don't mind that a guild has some bad guys, but, please just be consistent... Don't tell us the GM doesn't want anyone with bad intention in his guild when he doesn't even care 3 bad guys try to kill people... 
And please, it doesn't make sense they even try to kill the receptionist unless they want the whole guild to turn against three weak pathetic dude. 
The problem is... Things happen because the author wants to but he doesn't try to make it consistent or justify. At least, make them attack outside of town or something... 
Also, if you're trying to say, people despise back cast, then, make it consistent. After this one incident, no one care (in the guild). 

Then, when Fran is fighting against 100 goblin, the rescue party is composed of the three useless G rank (but good for them to come back) and three other people. Really ?
By "coincidence", the best fighter are out of town. Sure... (especially when everyone know the army is not going to help them when there is trouble because they don't like adventurers)

Then, 50 dude and a C rank are getting destroyed by goblin, they all see Fran destroying goblin, going alone in the cave, soloing the whole thing... and then people say she doesn't deserve D-Rank ? Yeah, sure, she should be B-rank at least... 

But, anyway, everything seems to be in favor of Fran :
The special skill of the demon (steal skills) doesn't work,
The stupid guy with the detect lie skill could have been a really hard to deal opponent (nothing is harder than politics), but, he self-detroyed in two days because someone steal his skill (sure...)
The red cat could have been a good opponent, but he was destroyed in one second,
The strongest adventurer (rank A) could also have been a formidable opponent... but she had to love Fran from the start. 
When Fran get teleported, against a very strong opponent, she get away pretty "easy" and doesn't even reflect after she needs to be stronger on her own...
Also, Sensei just have to be able to summon a wolf which can detect her scent.... but Fran was teleported, she was behind a wall at least one kilometer away... how the hell can the wolf track her ? I'm not an expert, but, even the best dog could not magically find me if I teleported two kilometers away... Dog can follow a scent but not pick a scent from someone far away, in a dungeon, where Fran and hundred of beast have been going around. 

But, anyway, if the author could just fix his habits to make stuff happen for the sake of it, it could be a much better experience.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward to the second season.

Yeah I mean I liked this overall. Typically avoid shitty isekai but I could tell this wasn't a typically OP male mc with a harem that follows him around for no reason. I mean he's still OP af as a sword, but Fran is pretty useless without him sharing all his abilities. I'd still find the series more interesting if they weren't just stupid fucking OP off the rip with this extremlely gamified world, but that's just modern isekai for you. It was pretty fun tho and avoided some of the tropes I hate in these types of shows.

I like old owl voice. Furion background interesting deserves more screentime.
nice big full party fight, ut Amanda stole mc's kill lol.
New armor quite stylish.
Mamanda moment & her parents aww
Allsand & Raydoss thing made little sense they zoomed passed it.
Necromancer (Amanda's friend?) & floating island? looking forward to s2.

A few episodes were dry when it stayed on too few characters, and droning obsession with pages of game stats. But rather intense choreographed fights, worldbuilding, some plot, fun cast, caring ken dad, & cute funny cat really held its own in the isekai sea.

I knew it, Amanda orphans are Fran parents. such a cliche, but it's fine since Fran now have someone who look her like her own child.

It ended well. So Amanda is the one who raised Fran's parents. She's pretty much her grandma. This explains why  she's so caring to her.

The series is fun to watch. Also, Frans is just adorable but powerful. 

Looking forward to season 2.

I enjoyed this one a lot! Nice closer episode and a prelude into the next season which is confirmed and that's awesome.

The Mamanda flashback was tear inducing and it makes complete sense why she is so attached to Fran. I hope Amanda continues to have a presence in Season 2.

Fran is adorable, can't wait to see more of her in S2.

Interesting series. Still don't know why it takes place in a video game aside from lack of creativity. It was pretty generic but still good. I'm sure it gets better in the later parts, but only because the world itself isn't interesting enough for you to get invested without the characters.

I liked this anime a lot but I really wish fran was capable of truly fighting without the sword.

It seems like if she ever loses access to that sword she becomes nothing more than a agile black cat with no skills, techniques, or magic to use...

What is the point of her class as a Sword Mage (now Sword Magus) if she isn't gaining any skills, techniques or magic from it herself.

I realize the whole point of this anime is her bond with the sword, but he is basically the only reason she is capable being anything other than ordinary, and I hope that eventually changes.

Would've been a solid 5/10 middle of the road if it weren't for Amanda, she drops it to a 4/10 at best.

She harasses the hell out of Fran and almost never respects her wishes or space. She doesn't come off as someone that cares about children, she comes off as someone who's obsessed with the idea of children to a degree that's inappropriate (not predatory, different kind of inappropriate).

Other thoughts:

* I watched the first half dubbed, and I honestly prefer Fran's english VA to the Japanese - there's a certain child-like deadpan quality that works really well

* Music and general art design for the world and creatures was pretty good, especially for an isekai

* Minimal creepy/pedo shit. The manga is bad about this in some places, so I'm glad to see there's almost none of it in the anime.

* Plot and world setup is your standard adventurer world litRPG template, don't expect anything interesting there
