(L) Seiken no Blacksmith (The Sacred Blacksmith)

[SaintessHeart]

Her chestplate is probably a prod at blacksmiths who think that hard metal is the best metal against protection. Unfortunately, high-carbon steel is known to be brittle.

Aki Toyosaki should have repeated all her lines in this episode back in K-ON. :P

[Haak]

Well the first few minutes were a little cliche but the whole Breast Plate incident was amusing. Luke's gurgled scream was just priceless.

I don't know why Cecily continues to wear one if she keeps getting comments about it. Is it an obligatory uniform or something. If it is then she could atleast mention it. Other than that i kinda like her. Luke is an asshole. I've never thought much of Jerks With a Heart of Gold.

It's a bit hard taking this anime seriously at the serious bits when everyone is such a moe blob. Serei no Moribito never suffered from this. But it also had some really good background music that added to the suspense-fu.

[Sinestra]

Episode 2 was what i expected it to be a transition from the introduction to beginning of the real meant. Cecily is so cute it hurts shes like puppy who thinks it has the fangs of a wolf lol which she does not but at least she has 2 ample mounds of wane

Pretty smart have the item everyone was looking for change into human form and walk into the city. Everyone was looking for a sword not a young girl very nice tactic however many men died because of it but as the capt guy said they were Knights they were prepared to give their lives.

Luke major male Tsun Tsun which makes for some nice laughs. Best part of the episode had to be the breastplate breaking.

[-Sho-]

Episode 2 was great . This anime is on my TOP 5 in this season .

The breast plat's part was great XD look at Lisa's face lol as i though , i found weird that the plate hasn't nothing when the monster throw his ice .
The forge is a good idea , i like it .
Seems that Sigfried is the guy in black and the bad guy with his sir .
Aria is here ! Gonna be interesting .

the cracking of Cecily's plate is really unexpected, right after a serious fight

they better explain why katana exists

i like the show, but the best is still the ED

[DragoZERO]

Just watched the first two episodes last night. This looks like an entertaining series. Luke is pretty cool and Lisa is Yui, which is awesome.

I hope they focus more on the characters than the world, since it seems like they'd have to spend a lot of time on it, which would make us lose out on character development.

I saw that coming once she blocked the attacks with it. But if was dumb how her clothing just happened to come off at the same time too. I guess they tore in the fight, I don't know. It did take her an unusually long time to realize what had happened though. lol.

Agreed, it looks much better than her armor.

I really hope anime goes on for 26 episode instead of 13..By the way, does anyone know where to get raws of the novel from volume 4?? Maybe in text form?? I can't find it anywhere....

[Daniel E.]

The only show of the new season I am watching at the moment.

After 2 episodes I still feel like wanting to see more, so I'll stick around to see how things develop from here.

Considering Aria...

Still a bit light on coverage, but covering more area than the anime armor, and no boobs for a sword to glance off and hit the throat. Well, in later volumes - the first cover does look like the anime ^_^;;;

So maybe she learns that her Breast Plate isn't nearly as effective as a real Breastplate? I'd be totally okay with that huge honking lampshade, even if it is somewhat of an excuse to draw her in such a thing and still be realistic.

Episode two went by pretty quickly even though not much happened, which was odd to me. No one annoys me in this show more than Luke; he's a d*ck. He's condescending, he apparently skips Very Important Meetings on a regular basis. I wonder if they're trying to say "reluctant hero" when all that's coming off is "lazy jerk".

it should have happened sooner;it would have explained why the monster didn't attack.

The question is.. is there enough base material to go that long? You don't want them stretching it out too much.

Because Luke wasn't watching, duhh.

I'd like to know what obligation Luke really has, to attend said meetings. He's been requested to attend, but so far we've been shown as that's all it's been is a request. We don't know all the details so far in.

I hope we see more of Luke and Lisa as they're my favorite characters in the show(as dull as this show is becoming anyway).

So...not only are katanas better, but magical katanas are

Why not just use/make a magical sword or something

2nd episode was alright. Wasn't that good as the first.
I enjoyed more of the comedy than the actual plot.
I'm already guessing who the evil cloak guy is too.

[Jerseykid]

I demand that Luke and cecilly eventually kiss or heads are going to roll!

Magical steel katanas are better than maybe-sharpened cast iron sticks.

hey wait a darn min i thought according to the anime guide book that even though a weapon is enchanted its still technically a weapon that pwns all others. That includes magically enchanted toothpicks, broomsticks, mops, beat sticks and sometimes under certain conditions flying spoons and yes Anh Minh's sharpened cast iron sticks but what are the rules for walking talking weapons that wear cute dresses?

[willyvereb]

Is to be explicitly only used by female fighters...otherwise something happens uhm...differently and they're using it in a different way than it's supposed to be.

But actually?
Being able to turn into human= Damn powerfull magical weapon.
