The first promotional video has been released for the TV anime adaptation of Yuu Tanaka and Llo's fantasy light novel series Reincarnated as a Sword.
The anime is scheduled to air in October 2022 and is animated by studio C2C.
As the title suggests, the main character (CV: Shin-ichiro Miki) is reincarnated in another world as a sword, and is an intelligent weapon who stayed alone in a forest, absorbing magical power until someone worthy could wield him. The young catgirl slave Fran (CV: Ai Kakuma) discovers him and names him "Master/Teacher."
The TV series is directed by Shinji Ishihira (Fairy Tail) and written by Takahiro Nagano (Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru), with music composed by Yasuharu Takanashi (Hell Girl, Naruto Shippuden).
