Wistoria: Wand and Sword (Seasons 1–2)

Wistoria: Wand and Sword (2024) is a fantasy anime series you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from the manga by Fujino Ōmori and Toshi Aono.

Will Serfort wants to climb to the very top of a magic academy. There's one problem — he can't cast a single spell. Classmates look down on him, instructors expect him to wash out, and still he keeps showing up to train. What Will has instead is a sword. Episode by episode he proves that steel in the right hands can answer magic blow for blow, carving a path meant only for the gifted.

The show premiered in Japan in the summer of 2024. Its hook is a familiar one done well: a hero with no talent who wins on stubbornness and a promise he refuses to break. If you go for shōnen built around an underdog and clean, kinetic swordplay, this one lands. Stream every episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword online on iFILM.
