Honestly, the concept alone would be enough to interest any anime watcher. Think about it, we've seen so much, but three different monster like creatures, working together to raise a human child? Now that's a whole different story all together. It's not without it's flaws. But Saihate no Paladin, continues to be interesting week by week.

In these few episodes that we are given. We learn so much, not just of how the boy is trained. To how the whole story has come about. It doesn't take it slow either, it as a nice progress that can keep a viewer entertained. Even if sometimes a little too fast. We follow our MC, Maryblood, which is ironically enough the names of two of the monsters put together. Great naming 101. Being a family together, with our last monster figure being a wizard ghost in Gus. As they each raise the child at first, through different means, and train him up through swordsmanship, magic, all sorts. All the while, we learn bit by bit, on the monsters themselves, and some of the twists and turns, are quite shocking all together. Some great stuff here.

It's only going to get more interesting as we go along. The cast really does seem well thought out. With a short cast line up, it means more of a focus on these characters, which is only a good thing. We learn so much, and we grow to love and appreciate them. Mary and Blood really act like their his mom and dad, they're that dedicated. Gus can be hit or miss, but he has his reasons. While the MC themselves, is quite the intelligent and curious and hard working natured sort of lad, tat you can get behind. A good cast list, with more to see as we go on.

The art style really reflects a lot of things. Sometimes it really does feel like you are in a dungeon, seeing everything in a certain polish and lighting. Really well done. Though it doesn't try to be too dark at times, as if it's really showing that they're not evil creatures, they're properly raising a human child after all, and I have to make this point, cause it does reflect this so much. Much like the sound does, it's not only fitting for purpose, but it really is used super well within any atmosphere throughout each and every scene. Giving it that much more added effect.

Saihate no Paladin is a fun and interesting concept, that tells a different spin of growing up, that makes for an entertaining watch from start to finish. That you should giv a go also!
