The Sacred Blacksmith


Type: Anime & Manga
Status: Anime - Complete (12 episodes)    Manga - Ongoing

Premise: In a bloody war between countries a frightening weapon was pitted against the enemy, The Demon Contract. By reading this contract written on your hear (literally) humans are able to barter away their body and soul for great power so people going as far as to give themselves over entirely transforming themselves into blood thirsty demons. Now years after the war has ended and the practice has been outlawed this dark art is no longer limited to the battlefield, Cicily Campbell is a minor noble and a knight in the town watch but when she meets a mysterious blacksmith with an unusual sword her life collides with the remnants of the last war.

Thoughts: This story is nothing to write home about but it does do the fundamentals well, good setting combined with a variety of characters and nice action sequences resulting in a solid story.

Prose: Nothing outstanding to report, but it does have a good setting.

Cons: No major faults either.

-Notes: Anime is fully dubbed. Relatively new so give it some time to establish itself.

7.5/10          (There the Japanese go again flaunting their pretty swords.)
