THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
We sure got to the end quick, the ending isn't really the best. Cecily did manage to win her fight despite not really taking full control of the battle. Siegfried did a pretty good job in fighting Luke so at least it's not a one sided battle^^ I certainly didn't expect Cecily to defeat Siegfried there, but it's more because of the katana i suppose :D

I for one found this last episode to be perfect. Emotional exchange was best with Cecily/Siegfried confrontation and Lisa/Luke on the bridge. Mass deaths of the towns people. Luke getting wounded so badly that he barely made the circle to get a magical blade out. Siegfried escaped so season 2 will be there in the future....his assistant got knocked out cold. Mass destruction. More action than before and a ED that tells of the season 2 possibilities. Best part would be the face off of Cecily against Siegfried with Cecily holding Luke's made katana from contract of him and Lisa=> The after effect of that Katana breaking Siegfried sword was pure joy to me here=>
Pure happiness at Siegfried being wounded
and bleeding with a broken piece of the katana....that was really ^_^ and take that Siegfried....but he dissapears so there will be a second season find him and kill him.Interessting enough was Lisa being able to heal=>
Find the Cecily detrmination to protect Luke was far more intense here than any other time=>
Luke/Siegfriend sword exchange was good too but the wound on Luke was bad....really bad.
Aria getting so tired I though she would be dead of exhaustion but she survived and just lost consciouness.
There was a wide variety of monsters like these:
Cecily must be one lucky human to have escaped that blow but at least she got the bad guy really badly to make him KO.
Something interesting about the ED is that Charlotte here
looks to be accepted by the princess of the Militant Country and she looks young also. BTW no ecchi, breast jokes and only pure action makes this the best episode. Overall glad to have started anime with this.

Yeah it's the katana....might also add Cecily determination.

The series was horrible( ironically I continued to watch to the end). Seshiri was good to nothing, hetare is the word but I don't know the exact meaning it is in english. All she has is a good mouth but can't do anything without Maken Aria. Except the last scene of this episode when Luke gave seshiri his sword and she some how beats Siegfried..


It was ridiculous when Seshiri was talkin as Luke was making that sword and Siegfried was kind enough to wait there standing still for a good 5 minutes. Not only that, but he listened to Seshiri's annoying introduction after she got the sword. I thought that was sort of funny.


From what I see from comments of the novel readers(might spoil for those who plan to read it), Siegfried, at that scene
but since its an anime I suppose they had no choice but to cut that part out. But they could have at least changed the story a bit like have Aria and Seshiri fight against Siegfried as Luke makes the sword and having Aria die as she saves Seshiri from a attack. I say die because I don't even remember seeing another scene from Aria after she took a rest.. Lol So why not have her die, the inspiration would have actually made me cry.


Another comment from a part of the novel readers(I say a part because I'm sure there are people out there who think different which I do respect) is that the anime really raped the actual story in the light novel.


As I was typing all that I finally realize why I was watching this. Lisa was extremely adorable with her Un-tan voice part. I love the scene when she panics because she lost sight of Luke. She says to Seshiri that she lost sight of Luke when she was making a circle. The way she said that was hilarious yet cute~

*Note* I just typed Seshiri how I would type it in Japanese but I'm referring to the main character for those who didn't know who the heck I was talkin about.

I did find it strange that he waited...write to the studio to put that spoiler scene in the DVD/BD

I'm not sure if I got what you meant, but if your asking what actually happened.
It doesn't go that far it's just everyone calls it the
scene, but according to the novel

Lol! I think I might XD

Yea, It was also really emotional to me when she was crying to Luke about her not being similar to Liza but Luke still accepts her as who she is.

.....i want S2, and since the purpouse of him being the blacksmith is to seal valvanil, i supose this is only going to end when that happens
well at least she got her katana

i would really buy the dvd just to see the rape scene
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

Meh. When I watched this episode I got the feeling I haven't watched this anime in two months or so despite being last week. Everything was rushed and felt like a lot of stuff was missing. Pretty average animu so I was not expecting a satisfying ending.

Average show with good animation at time, entertained me tough.

It look like there'll be a season 2 someday.

Seiken no blacksmith has a very good potential imo but this anime wasted it (bad adaptation or simply the main novel wasn't that good?). Well it wasn't bad but could have been way better and I guess that's the main reason why it get stone throwed at, afterall I don't recall people badmouthing much show like Tayutama when everyone knew it stood as a bad anime and didn't bothered to yell at it.

There's a rape scene? Damn, that's pretty hard core. I haven't gotten that far in the manga yet.

Overall, not terrible, but not great either. Just another meh anime added to the roster. If they didn't do a second season I wouldn't be all that upset.

FANTASTIC pacing. Having the battle stopped midway so the Spiffy Katana could be forged was brilliant. And the villain waiting patiently for its construction was a MASTERSTROKE.

It's not because we like that we have bad taste.
If we loved Eiken, so YOU CAN say we don't have watched anything better.
For me, i prefer Seiken no Blacksmith to Railgun (with their loli yuri <_<), 11eyes (yey, bad guys, red world ... Night Wizard ?), Kobato and others things.

So it's not your tastes, ok.
But don't say you know other tastes better then they.

I'm not sure if I really like this anime, or do I found it completely bland. I know I like the animation a lot. The fight scenes are cool. The story could be a little bit better if it was longer. The last episode left me with a "what the- is that all?"

Wasted potential, really. I actually hope that there will be a 2nd season for the series to justify itself, but I don't think sales will be high enough to warrant one.

5.5/10. Pacing of the show has been horrible, and I felt they spend too much time on what I felt was an utterly useless Charlotte E Firoshiber arc.

WOW, WOW, WOW.

That was the lamest fight scene ever. It was almost exactly like the one in the first episode.

I mean there's a monster/Siegfried out to kill you, and you're given the time to freaking forge a sword that can slay them.

Oh right, and Cecily intended to shield Luke with her boobs. It's kinda a shame Siegfried didn't corrode that breastplate at that moment. I mean that would have made sense.

Seriously. What. The. Fuck.

Ending was super anti-climactic. And I mean who didn't expect that to happen? <_<

At first I didn't get why everyone called this a bad season, but now I've finally realized how right they were. First, Nyan Koi, now Blacksmith..

I started to watch this show to see Luke fight in apocalyptic battles , and thought maybe he will fight Siegfried but damn Cecily and her dialogues and her irrational winning destroyed it..

I was thinking more of the line "You can make anything but I am still invincible" then look at what happens Siegfried gets wounded. HA! The novel rape looks better though....someone write to studio to put that in the DVD/BD.

Actually, I am hating 11eyes, and feeling very average to Railgun and Kobato as well. It's just this season. Pure crap. I've been watching anime for years never has there been THIS many failures on my list from a single season. And Kampfer isn't even worth my time watching.

EDIT: Adding Shugo Chara 3 and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2, possibly the worst of the season.
