## Synopsis

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? On the Side: Sword Oratoria (2017) is a Japanese anime spin-off produced by J.C.STAFF and aired on TOKYO MX, adapted from the light novel franchise. It follows mage Lefiya Viridis (voiced by Juri Kimura), a new member of the Loki Familia who is determined to prove she deserves a place on the same team as her hero, the celebrated swordswoman Ais Wallenstein (voiced by Saori Onishi). Alongside veteran adventurers such as Finn Deimne (voiced by Mutsumi Tamura) and Gareth Landrock (voiced by Kenji Nomura), the story moves through the perilous levels of the labyrinth city of Orario, where monsters, rival factions and the pull of the unexplored depths shape each mission. Ais is quietly chasing a goal no one around her suspects. The series is a single twelve-episode season with a serialized arc that builds toward trouble from the deepest, previously unreached floors. Its tone mixes earnest determination with fantasy action and moments of quiet emotional weight. Fans of Log Horizon, Delicious in Dungeon and Sword Art Online will find resonance in its guild-driven dungeon crawling and young adventurer bonds.
