Seikun no Burakkumisu or better known in the U.S. as the “Sacred Blacksmith” is a show which carries an interesting premise, but tries to shovel it all in 12 episodes. This like Mike or I trying to fit into size 30 pants. Bottom line: It doesn’t work.
The story flow (or lack thereof) in the Sacred Blacksmith is the same as watching someone take a deck of cards and play 52 pickup, and then try and guess which card they are going to pick up from the ground. In a word: Random. While the anime tries to create characters that you should care about, it does nothing (with the exception of Luke, Cecily and Lisa) to flesh out those characters. Add in a crappy English dub, and bad story pacing and you’ve got yourself a show that tries to be a fantasy action-drama series, but does a horrible job of making sure the viewer understands what’s going on.
Opening theme: “Justice of Light” by Mayumi Gojo
Ending theme: “Miracle Happy Day” by Aki Toyosaki
SHOW INFORMATION:
Cecily’s a blushing knight in shining armor. Unfortunately, it seems most battles end with her as the damsel in distress. Her lack of skill and distaste for violence make her an unlikely heroine – until the brooding blacksmith Luke comes to her aid, using his powerful magic to forge blades of supernatural strength. Cecily wields this sacred steel and charges forth to face a dangerous new threat; a cloaked fiend is unleashing demons upon the land, and though he lurks in shadows, the villain is much closer than Cecily can imagine.
