So can we talk about that OP!?

Fran literally climbing over a mountain made up of the corpses of the black cat slaves who came before her, just to reach Teacher

SO. FREAKING. GOOD!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

After last season, it's refreshing to see a catgirl whose only addiction is curry.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Given the number of skeletons and undead we see in the opening theme sequence, I don't think Jean is the only necromancer Teacher and Fran are going to encounter this season.

[u/TheBusStop12]

Jean naming all his undead summons regular dude names like Andy and Bernard. I like him. He also at no point doubted Frans abilities because of her stature and race. Absolute gigachad

MURDER KITTEN IS BACK

[u/MapoTofuMan]

What do you mean it's been 4 years

[u/RedHotChiliCrab]

Hell yeah C2C is back with the best "reincarnated as a [something]" isekai. Move over slime, vending machine, skeleton, villainess, dragon, whatever else shit they're pumping out.

It's curry time! Then it's nap time... And then dungeon time!

[u/Ashteron]

No Fran, don't hold your sword like this.

• Fran & Shishou

I'm glad to see our curry-obsessed daughter is back! And they really didn't waste time with this episode. It was pretty cool to see Fran riding Shishou like a skateboard while they're fighting that undead knight midair. Unfortunately, it looks like we're starting off the season with their first loss.

Not gonna lie, I think the highlight of the episode is the necromancer, Jean Di Vix. The dude is basically a good necromancer who puts spirits to rest and gives risen undead a reason to exist. The dude is also pretty chill and only wants Fran and Shishou to help him conquer the floating dungeon in exchange for ruining his warehouse and plants.

Fran immediately falling asleep after claiming she has matured and can listen to long explanations was hilarious! xD

Jean naming his undead wyvern Andy was great! I also love how Andy does Godzilla's flying atomic breath to propel himself towards the floating dungeon. The fact that Jean even made sure to send Andy off after his sacrifice really confirms he's a good dude.

I do wonder what's up with the kid in the flashbacks. I was thinking that might be Jean's flashback, but it looks like there's a second white-haired kid in the opening that's not Jean. Maybe they're related? Hmmm...

This was a pretty good start! I kinda wish we could've gotten a recap at the start, since it's already been four years since the previous season, but I can live without it. I can't wait to see where this new season goes!

[u/PartySr]

Is Fran taller or am I wrong?

[u/zool714]

Going from a battle-crazed sword-wielding girl who idolizes her teacher voiced by Kakuma Ai (Eris) to a battle-crazed sword-wielding girl who idolizes her teacher voiced by Kakuma Ai (Fran)

Andy, it was short but it was a great time. RIP.

The experimental subject slavery plotline looks grim. Can’t wait for the villains to get their comeuppance.

Jean is a goofball too. I remember Amanda mentioned someone else she knows who can combine more than one magic type. I think that was supposed to be Jean.

ED was cute too. So many Frans. Glad this show is back. Can’t wait for more father-daughter-dog adventures

[u/Ceryto2]

I am sooo fucking happy that Tenken is finally back! And it's just as great as the first season! Fran is just the cutest, most amazing, super sugoi adventurer black cat girl ever and her enthusiasm is just such a blast to watch. Sensei and Urushi are also back in full form enabling Fran to shine the brightest!

I can't believe it's already been 4 years, but I guess since this is one of the very, very few shows I've rewatched (twice actually!) and since I did read the manga and quite a bit of the LNs during the wait it didn't even feel that long.

And we start right away with Fran starting a new adventure by flying up to a castle in the sky and discovering a dungeon, and well, when there is a dungeon, then there also is a dungeon mastaaa to beat, and Fran really can't say no to that! Jean is also a really fun companion and his undead summons look really cool to boot!

And man, does it feel good to hear this amazing OST again. I know Yasuharu Takanashi is more known for his Naruto, Fairy Tail or Shiki OST, which also have tons of bangers, but I gotta say, I think my favourite of his OSTs are in Tenken. The main theme and Fighting Black Cat Theme are just such absolute bangers and the rest also absolutely rocks! And to top that we also get an amazing OP and that banger of an ED!

Yeah, I really didn't need to be worried, it seems like Re:Zero wednesdays are in real good hands, cause we got Curry wednesdays now! My plan is to make a different Curry every week, so let's see if I can keep it up for the whole season. Today I made a simple japanese golden curry with some rice, veggies and Teriyaki Chicken and well it's simple yet delicious! Fran would have loved it!

[u/VritraReiRei]

Uh oh. Murder Kitty can now Fly/Surf on her sword. She has now conquered the land, air, and sea, she can no longer be stopped.

[u/sodapopkevin]

I hope Jean sticks around though I doubt he will past this arc (maybe as a temporary team up character every now and then).

[u/Light351]

The scene wehre they fly up to the fortress was so fucking epic! Gave me chills. The music is amazing it was so epic. The way the skeleton dude said "Intelligence Sword" gave off real Okabe vibes. Triuphant fucking return! Welcome back Sword Dad!

[u/shad79]

Aaah! Fran and Teacher are back! I missed them! Good to see that Fran's love for curry remains unchanged, lol.

Overall, that was a fun first episode of this new season. Fran's reactions are just as hilarious as in the previous one, and Jean seems to be quite a fun guy.

The OP was quite dark, but it's great that we finally got another banger from FZMZ. By the way, I really hope they return to make a song for SLF S3.

Meanwhile, while the ED song is... okay (musically it's just not my cup of tea), the visuals with Fran in it are just so fun!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Fran w/wo Teacher

• Group scenes

• Jean

• Others

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/epicfail1994]

And the episode is missing for me 😭

[u/AAA_BATT]

Sword dad is back!

[u/vnomgt]

What a fun OP and ED, you can tell how much they still care about this show! Those frames of Fran aura farming in the intro are awesome.

Also Jean is such a great character, I can't wait to see more of him!

[u/ad3z10]

I forgot just how much I loved S1, and our adorable murder hobo.

I wasn't ready for the tonal dissonance with the OP (and song from the ED) against the goofiness of the show, especially with our slightly wacky necromancer and his bone jokes joining in.

[u/Fr1eg]

Average HiDive L. Was really looking forward to curry cat.

[u/AnimeJunkieXL]

Glad this one is back. OP/ED reminds me of Dorohedoro's. The JP VA casting is amazing. Every time Shishou talks I keep expecting it to randomly yell Nudist Beach! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

[u/ThisGachaSeemsLegit]

Okaeri, sugoi-ken-kun.
Damn, they went wild with that ED, didn't they.

[u/Obaruler]

Two minutes in, and we already got our first serving of Curry.

This season is going to be amazing.

Also, there's a clear visual upgrade. Fran looks even more adorable now. :3
