Up to episode 4 now.

This show is very enjoyable. The sword is OP, but the growth comes from Fran, who is cute as fuck. The mentorship dynamic extends to the other cast as well. The whole pull of the show is just us watching Fran grow through the eyes of Teacher.

The music too is lit as hell. Very Fairy Tail-esque.

ED is cool. OP is more forgettable.

I don't get the scabbard gimmick. Teacher can use his telekinesis to self deploy regardless of whether the scabbard splits open.
