Sword Gai: The Animation is a Japanese animated series that was released on Netflix in 2018. The show is based on a manga series written by Toshiki Inoue, which was illustrated by Keita Amemiya and Wosamu Kine. The series was directed by Tomohito Naka and Takahiro Ikezoe and produced by Production I.G.

The show is set in a world where humans live alongside demonic entities called Aragami. These creatures possess supernatural powers and can only be defeated by weapons called "Kiba". The story follows a young blacksmith named Gai who creates a sword that becomes possessed by an Aragami. In order to prevent the Aragami from taking over his body, Gai has to join a group of Kiba wielders who protect humanity from the threat of Aragami.

The main character of the show is Gai Ogata, a young blacksmith who has the ability to create Kiba. Gai is a quiet, stoic character who is haunted by his past. He is determined to prevent his sword from falling into the hands of those who would use it for evil purposes.

Gai is joined by a group of Kiba wielders, each of whom has their own unique personality and story. The most prominent of these characters is a young man named Seiya Ichijō, who is voiced by Zach Aguilar. Seiya is the son of a legendary Kiba wielder, and he is determined to live up to his father's reputation. Seiya is hot-headed and impulsive, often putting himself and his fellow Kiba wielders in danger with his reckless behavior.

Another important character in the show is a woman named Sayaka Ogata, who is voiced by Erica Lindbeck. Sayaka is Gai's adopted sister and the manager of his workshop. She is fiercely loyal to Gai and is willing to do anything to protect him.

The final member of the group is a man named Naoki Miki, who is voiced by Patrick Seitz. Naoki is a former Kiba wielder who retired after a tragic incident that left him physically and emotionally scarred. Naoki is a reserved, introspective character who is deeply haunted by his past.

The show is visually stunning, with detailed character designs and fluid animation. The fight scenes are well choreographed and exciting to watch, with each character demonstrating their unique fighting style. The show's soundtrack is also excellent, with a mix of traditional Japanese music and modern rock.

One of the strengths of the show is its exploration of complex themes such as the nature of humanity and the consequences of using power for selfish purposes. The characters are all flawed and struggle with their own demons, which adds depth to the story.

Overall, Sword Gai: The Animation is a well-crafted and engaging series that will appeal to fans of action, fantasy, and Japanese animation. The show's rich mythology, fascinating characters, and high production values make it a must-watch for anyone who loves the genre.

Sword Gai: The Animation is a series that ran for 2 seasons (24 episodes) between March 23, 2018 and on Netflix
