Introduction
After having descended upon this world, the gods have created guilds where adventurers can test their mettle. These guilds, known as "familia," grant adventurers the chance to explore, gather, hunt, or simply enjoy themselves.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria begins in Orario, the lively city of adventures. The Sword Princess, Ais Wallenstein, and the novice mage, Lefiya Viridis, are members of the Loki Familia, who are experts at monster hunting. With the rest of their group, they journey to the tower of Babel in hopes of exploring the dungeon underneath. Home to powerful monsters, the dungeon will fulfill Ais's desire to master her sword skills, while bringing Lefiya closer to her dream of succeeding Riveria Ljos Alf, vice-captain of the Loki Familia, as the most powerful mage in the land.

Another spin-off show derived from the main Danmachi series,just like the Arrow of Orion movie . And once again i watched after season 5 instead of when i should have. But thanks to that .... insight i can formulate factual complaints about this show as well.
Well... Unlike The Arrow of Orion who is not only a spin-off but also a standalone story,Sword Oratoria is a spin-off series that makes the first season feel more complete. In this season we follow the second strongest famila around,that being Loki familia. Before i mention the bad i will mention the good. While this series isn't really that pivotal to the main one, it does bring light on some characters, especially Ais and the elf Lefiya,while also filling the blanks during the first season. Frankly it's what The Arrow of Orion shou…

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria takes us on an exciting and immersive journey that runs parallel to the main series. With its unique perspective and focus on the members of Loki Familia, this spin-off anime offers a fresh and engaging experience for fans of the original series.
The animation quality is top-notch, capturing the fantastical world of Orario with stunning visuals and attention to detail. The intricate dungeon designs, bustling city streets, and intense battle sequences are brought to life in vivid colors and fluid motion. The animation effectively highlights the action and showcases the growth of the characters.
Character development takes center stage in Sword Oratoria, allowing us to delve deeper into the members of Loki Fa…

This anime is a spinoff of the original as the story focuses on the Loki Familia during the first season of Danmachi. They were in a middle of dungeon exploration until an evil organization Evilus came back to reek havoc on both adventurers and the city or Orario. Amidst the chaos, Information regarding Ais Walestine was brought back to her Familia's attention and they would investigate on the matter. Meanwhile, Ais encountered the main character of the original anime Bell and saves him. She would later develop emotions as a result of the encounter. Good concept to explore Ais' character but poorly executed.
The relation between Ais and Bell was already established and there were only few to no new original scenes regarding their relationship as the notable ones were reused from the origi…

Leafiya ruined legitimately everything about this anime and forced me to skip every scene with her in it because i could not stand to watch it it hurt me in ways i never thought i could be hurt and i never thought i could despise a character so much that people who wrote this thought you might enjoy she has no redeeming qualities its like they threw in a lesbian just because and made her the most annoying piece of sh*t it genuinely pisses me off you are just re watching the first season but with added BS that would make you want to go length ways for results its just that bad.

I'm not going to write too much on this, but let's say, I have gone and read the Manga adaptation first, thanks to not getting my hands on the spin off novel, and to be honest, I'm disappointed.
The first thing I am disappointed about is the speed how things happen. If you read the Manga, or the original novel, you would see that the later part (or the later half, even) takes place in a much longer time than what is shown to us. Thanks to them trying to speed things up, though I don't know what happened, but they literally killed off the existence of so many characters with hella good character development. And some deaths that I have to say was so heavy were made light off to the point of none existence. Yes, they cut off some deaths and what comes with those deaths. But well, this happ…

This chalks up to a typical spin-off that takes everything great about the original, and strips it away. With a character cast almost exclusively girls of every archetype with fan service galore, you can imagine what little this has to offer.
The story is fairly 2 dimensional, a single path "who done it" quest with the usual disposable bad guys and the usual good girls wearing iron plot armor. There is little to like that other animes do far better, including this shows prequel. There's little challenge to the main characters who are unapologetically over powered, but as with the bewbs, what else would be better but a power fantasy?
But, it cant be denied that the animation and sound itself is good, but it's just good, its not great or awe inspiring, nor is the music.

Personally, I found this anime to be good overall, it gives the viewer a greater insight into many of the characters introduced in Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka of the Loki Familia and most importantly develops Ais as a character, helping the viewer to understand her highly introvert nature.
There are plenty of epic moments as well, with ambient sound and build-up music and following not one but two female protagonists provide a nice fresh change of pace.
Having said that the key floor I find to be in this animation is not revolving around our heroes of the story but instead the villains. For me the antagonists were dull, poorly explained and left me rather confused so whilst the action scenes themselves were good, I did feel a little disappointed by the motive…

This is a alternate story line, I repeat this is not a season 2 of the show. Although season 2 will be coming out soon. Don't expect this to be as comical as the first season either, it has a more serious tone to it (should've read the genres).
This is backstory for the "Sword Princess" or better known as Ais, it offers her day to day interactions with her familia and how she also meets Bell in her point of view and what she thinks of him. The story also revolves around another character not given a lot of screen time in the main series, Lafiya, to me personally comes off as annoying and useless, she also has a lesbian side to her when she talks to or about Ais she seems a little too fond of her. This season was meant to capitalize on the character development needed for many of the suppo…

Never forget your roots as they say and its very clear Sword Oratoria has not forgotten its.
This show was very slow to start with a character that i detested in the beginning but its one of those that takes those preconceived notions and does a complete 180. By about episode six or seven this show goes from a slow side story of Danmachi to damn whirlwind of fight scenes and good character moments. We get some great scenes of characters old and new and by the end i have a show here that initially i would've given a five or six now i'm gonna give an eight.
Lefiya redeems herself in my eyes and becomes a lead i can enjoy watching. And i do love how for a few episodes they do take the perspective away from her and more onto Aiz showing that this spinoff is not specifically about Lefiya. It's…

So i started this series not all that excited after seeing the first one. While i thought the first one was fun and all it just couldn't get my attention that much. But overall i did enjoy the first season and gave it a pretty good review besides the fact of it having an OP character and almost up to terms of what could be called a harem
This is kind of the same season kind of holds the same opinion as the first one.
While in my opinion overall better than the first season it was kind of hard to keep my attention. It doesn't really suffer from the same problems as the first and i'll get into the problems in a minute.
~~ Spoilers ~~
Gonna try to keep away from the actual story
Lefiya: First let me start out by saying that for some weird and unknown reason instead of having the entire…

There honestly wasn't much very interesting about this series. I haven't read the manga, but the whole thing just comes off as sloppily structured. There isn't even a definitive main character. You'd think it'd be Azi, but the show spends an abnormal amount of time focusing on a new character, Lefiya and her fangirl crushing on Azi. Lefiya is an incompetent mage who is very cutesy and very quickly got annoying for me. For being such a huge focus, she rarely drove the plot of mainly just tagged along with the team, needing to be saved constantly.
Now you can say that Bell needed to be saved a lot too, but he was also the main driving force of the plot and always got better after each mistake. Lefiya doesn't get better until very late in the 12 episode show. The main plot isn…

This is not a good anime, I do not think the parent story is actually good but it's quite entertaining and is what it stated on the first episode, an underdog story.
This has no clear focus, despite 12 episodes, i can't tell u anything about the "main protagonist" I take that word lightly beside the stuff in the 1st season of the parent story even then they barely had further growth. We do not know the characters weaknesses, strengths, them acting like a team, they do not feel like friends just associates. I do not know about the light novel but this is straight up trash character and story wise.
Art itself not bad, but nothing great, It had some decent art design and some fair sound design.
just watch the parent story, this does not do anything to improve or expand the source materia…

I've already seen the manga and the first anime before that one, and it made feel secure about the quality of the next one. So the result is: "IT WAS FANTASTIC" not only the story connects to the main story in a beautiful way, but it also gives it's own rhythm to follow so you don't bored over some scenes that you've seen in the first anime. It sure fills the gaps and holes left in the first one, but also gives some insights for new characters to discover and love too.
The development of the story and the heroes within it is so smooth and easy to follow. the art and soundtrack gave the best feelings you'll never have in other animes of course.
All in all this anime makes me more excited about things that will come, and i can't wait to see where the story will unfold.

I originally didn't want to watch this series after I realized it wasn't actually the second season of one of my favourite fantasy animes. But I gave it a chance, and I'm sure glad I did. Let me quickly tell you why.
This anime follows Ais' story, which goes on in the same time period as the first DanMachi series. It isn't a retelling of the first DanMachi and it isn't the continuation. It's something new (story-wise) but familiar (setting-wise/the big picture). It ended up providing valuable information to flesh out some characters that weren't explored too in-depth in the first DanMachi, and giving a new viewpoint on the same oncoming disaster that was hinted at in the first DanMachi. Even if you had regarded this anime as a stand-alone, it is really good and really interesting.

TL;DR Section at the end of the review. This review may or may not contain minor spoilers.
I'd like to preface this review with saying I general don't review sequels or side stories, because you'll find me usually saying it was as enjoyable, slightly less enjoyable, or slightly more enjoyable than the first or original story. This show has forced me to turn it into an exception.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria (which is a goddamn mouthful), better known as DanMachi: Sword Oratoria, is a spin-off side-story that shows the main story but from a different perspective. Who's perspective? The Loki Familia's, but more importantly from Ais' perspective.
The entire idea of the show started out well, being able to see things from how Ais saw them,…

Ah, Danmachi. With the harem/fantasy show’s legacy leaving behind such wonderful memes about its busty loli goddess heroine like the famous boob ribbon and ‘Hestia is Bestia’, it’s no wonder the show had a tough time having a complete positive footing in the anime community due to various aspects about it like its multitude of female characters wishing to breed like rabbits with its main protagonist. So how can you make a show like that into something that’s similar, but objectively better in comparison? Well, for starters you could follow the source material.
Story: Sword Oratoria is the Danmachi story shown from a different perspective. Instead of following the adventures of the Hestia Familia with Bell and his journey to become adventurer that he wanted to be, we follow the story of th…

Premise and intro
Dungeon Ni Deai Sword Oratoria is a spin off anime that is adapted from the manga of the same name and tells the story of the original story that is shown through the eyes of the Sword princess Ains Wallenstein, her comrade and fellow familia member Lefiya and her fellow familia members. While largely following the events of the main anime series this anime also adds in events that Ains and her friends faced in that time frame.

Sword Oratoria... the spinoff, not second season, of the beloved DanMachi series. This time around, we're going to see the same story from Ais WallenWhatsit's point of view, at least, that's what I thought was going to happen...
Story: In the first, or at least first few episodes, it should be clear that this is in fact the same story of DanMachi. However, instead of focusing on The Misadventures of Bell Cranel, we get to see a different side of things. This spinoff focuses mainly on the cast of the Loki Familia. Yes, the Loki Familia, not just Ais, which is very important to know. Originality: 0/1. I mean, come on now. It's like the author suddenly had second thoughts about the original story and how basic it was, so he created this spinoff to add a deeper meaning to everything, just cen…

Is a spinoff of Danmachi with an alternative view focusing on Aiz, one of (for LA at least) the least interesting harem members to be given a spinoff series a good idea?.
...Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria is an interesting yet odd spinoff from the many many MANY sequels and spinoffs anime to come out of Spring 2017. LA wasn't exactly clamoring for a spinoff based on Aiz as LA is one of those fans of Danmachi wanting just more from Bell and Hestia than to Aiz though this spinoff looking at an alternative view of how events occurred in the original is a nice touch in a ways.
...Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria's characterization is focused towards Aiz as well as Lefiya Viridis voiced by Juri K…

The good: You don't need to watch the first season to follow the story.
The bad: The anime started with a score of 8.74 and ended with a 7.10. If you watched the first season, you would feel a bit disappointed. Unlike the first season, this anime doesn't entertain because the story is weird and the pacing is average. For me, this anime is just an alternative story from the main series.
Danmachi Sword Oratoria centers the story in Aiz Wallenstein, the sword princess. Sadly, even if Aiz is the main character, there isn't too much information about her past just some sporadic scenes and the plot centers on her desire of getting stronger. During her adventure into the dungeons, she fought with a person that could know more about her past, and she decides to go into the lower dungeon levels…
