Sword of the Demon Hunter

Jinta finds himself pulled into a vast saga that spans a hundred years, where the blade he wields becomes a question as much as a weapon. The show blends science fiction and fantasy into a dense, character driven drama, letting time itself shape the choices he makes. Suzune and Shirayuki appear as key allies whose own pasts press on Jinta, testing what loyalty means when the world keeps tilting between war and peace. On the sidelines stand demons whose motives blur the line between menace and mentor, while a clairvoyant demon hints that fate may be less fixed than it looks. The tone balances intimate doubt with sweeping spectacle, inviting viewers to rethink power, duty, and identity.

Created by Deko Akao and Motoo Nakanishi, this animated drama deploys a talented voice cast led by Taku Yashiro as Jinta, with Reina Ueda, Saori Hayami, Hiroshi Shirokuma and Yui Kondo and the Clairvoyant Demon to life.

Early reception sits at an average of 7.705 out of 10 from 22 votes, signaling cautious enthusiasm. Critics flag the show for its expansive scale and rich character tension, and it leans into themes of power, responsibility, and the cost of wielding a blade across eras.
