Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (anime)---Episode 1

I'm going to spoil everything. You have been warned.

I'm watching the sub, btw. In case anyone cares.

So I'm not going into this blind. I read the manga awhile back and more and less remember all the plot beats.

Basic synopsis: Yuuhi Amamiya meets a talking lizard and learns he'd been chosen as one of the twelve “Beast Knights” destined to help a princess save the Earth from an evil mage who wants to smash the planet with a giant hammer.

PLOT TWIST: The girl hosting the princess's spirit, Samidare Asahina, only wants to save the Earth so she can destroy it herself!

Yuuhi is totally on board with this.

Yuuhi is kind of an asshole.

Antisocial looser, get your shit together.

(I love him, he's just fun to pick on)

NGL, the first 2/3 of this episode is kinda meh. We mostly just follow Yuuhi throughout his day while he tries to get Noi (the talking lizard) to leave him alone.

(as an aside: I like Noi. Poor guys trying so hard to be noble and serious, and Yuuhi is having none of it.)

Yuuhi and Noi are attacked by a golem, creations of the mage. It's a weird, one-eyed, fish-like monster. Apparently it's called Gamelion, which I didn't know until looking it up.

Anyway, Yuuhi is pathetic and can't fight to save his life (literally) so Samidare jumps in and kills it.

Being the princess's vessel gives her super strength, so that's cool.

Our two leads talk, Samidare throws herself off the roof so Yuuhi will save her/prove his loyalty (like you do), she tells him her plan, and he's immediately “At your service, your Majesty!”

So there we go, the adventure is underway.

Eh, not much else to say. The art/animation is nice. Nothing mind-blowing, but good. Same for the OP. I do actually like the song. It's catchy.

Anyway, on to episode 2!
