Synopsis
The story revolves around Gai, who was born beside a woman who met her death in a forest. He was adopted by the swordsmith Amon. A few years later, Gai becomes Amon's apprentice, and during the forging of a sword, he loses his right arm. To help him, Amon crushes the demon sword Shiryuu (lit. Death Dragon) to form it into Gai's replacement right arm. Gai then is able to fuse with the weapon on his arm, and fights against his enemies.

Editor's Review
“Sword Gai The Animation” is an anime series that offers a unique blend of action, fantasy, and drama. The series revolves around the titular character, Gai, who becomes a host for a demonic sword. This sets him on a path of endless battles and internal struggle.
The series is characterized by its intriguing plot and a large cast of characters. Each episode presents a new challenge for Gai, keeping viewers engaged and entertained. The series is also praised for its well-written script, and the tragic origin stories of the various cursed weapons, told in flashbacks using a different animation style, are told with efficiency and emotion.
However, “Sword Gai The Animation” is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find the series’ pacing to be uneven. Additionally, the series can be a bit rough around the edges, particularly in its early episodes. The art style is at best: average, a mix of 2D + 3D is horrible. It’s hard to find anything positive about this show but I’m going to try my best, fight scenes are okayish, the sound is ok, it is on Netflix (on the day of writing this review) and the most important thing, 1st season is WAY better than 2nd one.
Despite these minor shortcomings, “Sword Gai The Animation” remains a standout series. Its unique premise, engaging characters, and complex plot make it a must-watch for any anime fan. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the genre or a newcomer, “Sword Gai The Animation” is sure to provide an enjoyable and memorable viewing experience.
