Synopsis

College student Yuuhi Amamiya's monotonous life is turned upside down with the appearance of Sir Noi Crezant, a talking lizard claiming to be a knight of justice. Crezant elaborates that the world is in peril—threatened by the mage Animus who wishes to annihilate it with his Biscuit Hammer, an enormous structure suspended in Earth's orbit. As the newly appointed Lizard Knight, Yuuhi must fight alongside other Beast Knights to protect the princess and save the planet from destruction.

Unimpressed by the prospect of risking his life, Yuuhi continues his day as usual—until a golem created by Animus suddenly confronts him. Yuuhi is instantly overpowered, but his neighbor, Princess Samidare Asahina, luckily rescues him. To his surprise, Samidare's intention starkly differs from Crezant's; instead of saving the world, she aims to destroy it with her own hands. Captivated by her firm ambition, Yuuhi resolves to become stronger and help Samidare realize her goal.

As the pair continues to fight against Animus' golems, Yuuhi finds himself gradually gaining an interest in life—but the chains of his past trauma may restrain him from progressing further.

Background

According to a 2015 Twitter post by the series creator Satoshi Mizukami, an anime adaptation of Hoshi no Samidare was initially planned to be released shortly after the manga's serialization, but the project failed due to a lack of sponsors.

The series was released on Blu-ray in four volumes from October 28, 2022 to April 28, 2023.

After seeing so terrible score and so many negative coments I wondered; maybe this time truly something was wrong with the show, but after watching it i can say; NOPE. It is again the same case: popular manga of renowned author gets anime adaptation that is objectivly speaking "OK" but it couldn't live up to unrealistic expactations of manga fans, so they release their frustration by giving bad scores. Could this anime be better? ofcourse, most could've be. Was it a trash? ABSOLUTELY NOT

Originally, I was going to not review, or do a "don't watch" review, but towards the end decided to upgrade my 5/10 to 6/10. I had the natural disaster of flooding in my house a couple episodes, others emotional too.
Plot summary/synopsis: 3/10 (kind of dumb funny, but still)
Real Main Plot: 7/10
Episodic sub-plots for characters: 8/10
Animation: 3/10
Sounds: 6/10
Openings/Endings: 7/10 (managed to give 9/10 feeling sometimes)
Sillyness: 6/10
Main Character (male): 3/10 turned 7/10 with character development (maybe 6/10)
Side Characters: 7/10

Yep, 6/10 so a D. Almost failing, but the soundtrack and general story line were actually very good. The animation, pacing, and overall implementation were not good. The animation was especially bad, the pacing ruined some otherwise impactful moments, and the generally bad direction further caused the anime to be one I wouldn't recommend, but not one I hate everything about. The bones were there, I haven't read the manga, but I had already heard the name Lucifer and the Biscut Hammer before. That and the especially scathing reviews leads me to believe that the manga is worth your time. This however is probably not, ...
