Okay, Fall 2026 is starting to look way too good for fantasy anime fans. Just when I thought my seasonal watchlist was already getting out of hand, two very different reincarnation stories decided to show up with major updates at almost the same time.

There are anime sequels that quietly arrive on a seasonal schedule, and then there are sequels that make fans suddenly remember just how much they missed a particular duo. Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 is firmly in the second category for me. After years of waiting, Fran and Teacher are finally preparing to return,…
If you told me back in 2022 that I would still be waiting for Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 four years later, I probably would have laughed. Yet here we are. The wait is finally over, and honestly, after watching the new trailer, I am starting to think that the long production gap might…

From the very beginning, Fran isn’t…
If there’s one moment I’ve been waiting to see animated ever since Reincarnated as a Sword Season 2 was announced, it’s Fran’s confrontation with the Lich. As much as I enjoyed the first season, I always felt it only scratched the surface of what makes this series stand out. The early adventures are fun, but…
