(CR) Hoshi no Samidare (Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer)

[Stark700]

Manga Hoshi no Samidare/Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer is getting an anime adaptation. Coming Summer 2022.

Synopsis

One day, college student Yuuhi Amamiya is approached by talking lizard Sir Noi Crezant. Crezant immediately launches into a fantastical story: the powerful mage Animus intends to destroy the earth with his biscuit hammer, a huge contraption looming high in earth’s orbit. Earth’s only hope lies with the princess and her Beast Knights, whose task is to protect the princess and defeat Animus.

Yuuhi is chosen as the Lizard Beast Knight, and despite his misgivings, is quickly forced to defend himself from a golem created by the mage. He is saved by his neighbor, the princess Asahina Samidare, and swears loyalty to her. However, the princess does not intend to save the earth at all. She lets Yuuhi in on her real motivations: to prevent Animus from destroying the earth, only to then annihilate the planet by her own hand. The pair continue to fight off attacks by Animus’s golems while the remaining Beast Knights are slowly being gathered and learning to use their powers. But Yuuhi will have to decide for himself whether to go along with Asahina’s plans, whom he is getting close with, or to save the earth. In the process, he must also confront his true self, and determine where his loyalties truly lie.

They made an Haikara-san ga Tooru! movie series a few years ago, a Let's Make a Mug Too split 2-cour anime adaptation last year and will be animating Love All Play (alongside OLM) this spring.

Also, almost no key staff, no studio this close to air. And C-list director. Increasingly clear this is not going to be a top-level adaptation.

Well, it's going to be broadcast on animeism, so it shouldn't be so poorly done.

tweet mentions ID: INVADED and Bisco in reference to studio NAZ as if those productions weren't Ei Aoki and Atsushi Ikariya just throwing a slumber party at a different studio. Strong proof here that the studio name rarely matters, staff is what's important and this has none lol

Seen episode 1. Eh, it's fine.

Visually-speaking, the disappointment is on par with the recent Shaman King 2021 or Sailormoon Crystal's first season back then. Maybe my expectation was already low after SK21 disappointed me so much but I think I can tolerate this show. It's nowhere near as bad as Berserk 2016. At least the images in Samidare don't hurt my eyes.

[Xical]

as a fan since the first ch. was released by snoopycool ... I will call this first episode mediocre in the true meaning of the term:
Of ordinary or undistinguished quality. synonym: average.Of a middle quality; of but a moderate or low degree of excellence; indifferent; ordinary.Ordinary: not extraordinary; not special, exceptional, or great; of medium quality.

truth to be told I tough this was going to be awful, there are problems like the golem was supposed to crumble clearly after that punch and there is not that way, the removal of all the (unsexy) panty shoots and other minor things, but is watchable and enjoyable, lets see how this unfold.

[Kanon]

You guys are very lenient. What I saw was downright shameful. I had extremely low expectations after how bad the PV looked, and yet I was still disappointed. It feels like an anime from 20 years ago, back when they were trying to figure out digital animation. It's not only the animation that is bad, what is up with that weird filter that makes the picture look super weird?

And yeah, no pantyshots. Even the author lamented on Twitter. It's a late night slot, why would they remove them?

[Frontier]

Yuuhi reminds me of Yomogi from Dynazenon...not just because of Junya Enoki, but his whole low-energy, casual, vibe and the fact that he doesn't immediately jumps at the chance at becoming a Superhero and is pretty darn sarcastic and sassy .

I like the Opening theme...but you can tell there was barely any effort put into the Opening itself because it's all still shots and reused footage. Same with the Ending .

Pretty surreal waking up with a talking lizard voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda that won't leave you alone .

So am I to assume the other "knights" have the animal companions Crescent was talking about ?

Yuuhi just couldn't resist flipping his professors' skirt...and yeah, I kind of figured they'd removed a pantyshot because, like, what's the point of flipping a girls' skirt and not even showing it to the audience? Who cares what the MC saw. Even the author is disappointed .

Wow, that is some butt ugly monsters .

Seems like Yuuhi has this ingrained belief in not trusting or getting close to people from his grandfather because he assumes they'll inevitably betray him. Which I'm guessing he'll be moving on from as he learns to work with others and his fellow knights in his new job .

Nothing beats getting saved by a high school girl! Who just so happens to be a princesses housing the Spirit of some divine creator God...why is it everyone always notices the Kansai accent ?

Samidare seems like an interesting girl. She comes off pretty laidback and carefree but she has a strong resolve and commitment to her mission, and she's no Hero of Justice...she intends to stop the Biscuit Hammer so she can destroy the world herself. And the sheer confidence and faith she puts in Yuuhi is enough to get him to agree to work with her .

I know, so even we, the Mizukami army, recognize there is a problem whit this adaptation,
but lo and behold!, I have been reading comments of anime-only watchers, and surprise! they seems to be enjoying it.

btw, why havent be moved this thread to current series?

[grecefar]

I don't know, when I saw how much people were hyping it in this thread and others I expected a lot more I guess.

I'll give it 3 chapters rule.
