Seiken no burakkusumisu

The Sacred Blacksmith doesn't do anything too special, but there were a few times I found myself fairly interested in certain characters. I thought that by the end Luke and Lisa were interesting, and would've liked to see more of them in a season 2. The arc with the princess and her three companions was done especially well and was the highlight of the show for me. The biggest cons for me were Cecily and the main plot. I did not find Cecily to be a very interesting or relatable protagonist, and sometimes could be a bit annoying. She lacked any sense of individuality or ambition, so she ultimately came off as just a generic anime lead. The main plot revolving around these "demon swords" is interesting as a premise, but unfortunately is not explored to a satisfactory degree. The villain is very underdeveloped and their motivations are vague as well as their capabilities. Overall I wouldn't really recommend this show, there are much better alternatives in the fantasy subgenre like Snow White with the Red Hair.
