However, one question I had while reading Saihate no Paladin and is still a question I have after watching this first episode, why bother with the reincarnation angle? I do get that it becomes somewhat more significant later in this story but it feels like an unnecessary detail in an already cluttered mythos for this fantasy world. That said, it was impossible for me to go in without expectations. Now just so we’re clear, I have read a bit of the manga, though apparently the anime is adapted form the Light Novel. But it is nice that in the tradition of epic fantasies and hero journeys of the past, Saihate no Paladin takes the time to establish Will’s baseline and childhood first rather than rushing into the call to adventure. Saihate no Paladin is setting the scene.Īs will become apparent to anyone who watches through what I assume will be the OP that appears at the end of the episode, the story is going to take a far more epic scale and Will is going to venture out from this city. Throughout this first episode we get a glimpse of Will’s upbringing and the relationship he has with these characters. Mary, Blood and Gus have been raising Will since he was a baby and each of them have been passing on their respective knowledge to him. There’s a priestess, a warrior (who is a skeleton), and a sorcerer (who is a ghost) and no that isn’t the opening line to a bad joke. Saihate no Paladin episode one introduces us to Will, a human child being raised in the city of the dead by three undead characters.
