About Wise Man’s Grandchild

Wise Man’s Grandchild (賢者の孫) blends action, comedy and fantasy by SILVER LINK. (2019). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: A young man is reborn in another realm where he is adopted as a baby by the hero Merlin Wolford and named Shin. By his 15th birthday, Shin has accumulated all kinds of power by studying under Merlin, but one thing his adoptive grandfather didn't give him was a lick of common sense.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Oliver Schtrom (Toshiyuki Morikawa) and Shin Wolford (Yuusuke Kobayashi) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
