"This was kind of a trip. It starts real innocent and calm about this reserved rural sword teacher who because of his skill begrudgingly climbs the royal ranks. But then it morphs into this super cool action series. It’s also my first “harem” anime. It totally sucked me in and I enjoyed it. But man, anime is super weird. "

"I'm compelled to give this 4 stars just for having a protagonist that isn't a teenager, isn't in some parallel world, or is rooted in a regression plot. Good series and story so far."
