As I promised myself, Kantei Skill is dropped from rewatch hosting for good and I will return to the roots as originally planned.

The trailer and key visual dropped today, so it is high time to try it again.

What is Reincarnated as a Sword:

Reincarnated as a sentient weapon with memories of his past life, but not his name, a magical sword saves a young beastgirl from a life of slavery. Fran, the cat-eared girl, becomes his wielder, and wants only to grow stronger, while the sword wants to know why he is here.

Reincarnated as a Sword is a light novel written by Yuu Tanaka and illustrated by Llo. It started as a web novel on Shosetsuka ni Naro. It also received a manga adaptation with illustrations by Tomowo Maruyama. The first season of the anime television series adaptation was made by C2C aired back in Fall 2022 for 12-episodes, and it fared well quite enough in that strong season. Directed by Shinji Ishihira, screenwriter is Takahiro Nagano, music by the quite experienced Yasuharu Takanashi. And now it will return for this Fall with another season, as all the same staff worked on S1 returns for this.

It might be basically just yet another reincarnation isekai with many things which we saw many times before, despite of that it happens to be somewhat successful and hyped, as we saw with season 1. So let's see if this will can stay even after four years. So if you do like reincarnation into inanimated objects, catgirls with super OP cheat-level skills, and delicious curry, I think you might enjoy this. But beyond that there interesting bits and parts of the worldbuilding, and story parts which might interest you.

Closing remarks:

This thread, like every single time, is but a big survey for me, to check how big the interest towards this.

Since season 1 had a strong hype, and I think this rewatch has this purpose, to capitalize on it bring it again. Since four years is such a long time, I welcome all of you, whether first-timers or rewatchers, interested for the new season or a memory refresher. And I do believe it is the right moment to watch it and join.

If there is anything, then please let me know. And that is all for now. Until then, I'll see you around.
