Our hero is a cursed prince who dies in the first episode—spoiler alert, but honestly, the title gave that away. He gets reborn as a saint, which in this universe means he can glow in the dark and argue with demons. The escape part? He’s running from a magic castle that’s basically a haunted IKEA with a grudge.
Every five minutes, a trap door opens under him, or a chandelier tries to give him a haircut. I’m pretty sure the animators were on a caffeine bender, because the physics make video game glitches look realistic. One episode has him sliding down a rainbow while being chased by a flaming cactus. Yes, a flaming cactus. Don’t ask why—just accept it.
Why Dailymotion Is the Perfect Home for This Madness
You won’t find Reborn Saint on Netflix, because Netflix has standards—or at least a budget for subtitles that aren’t translated via Google Translate. Dailymotion is the Wild West of streaming, where you can find this gem next to a guy reviewing vacuum cleaners and a cat playing piano. The video quality? It looks like it was filmed through a potato, but that adds to the charm.
Fun fact: The show’s run time is exactly 42 minutes, but you’ll spend at least 10 of those buffering. It’s like the universe is trying to punish you for having taste. But trust me, the buffering gives you time to ask yourself, “Why is the prince wearing a cape made of spaghetti?” The answer is never satisfying, which is the point.
