The first episode looked pretty nice even if it didn't really distinguish itself as anything extraordinary (or explain why this is supposed to be seinen). However, it was entertaining enough. Layfon's VA was fitting for the role of a bit cold blacksmith. The action was at a usual shounen show level but could be getting better considering the man lurking in the shadows and all the devil contract talk.

The main girl was very energetic (and thus naturally showing less skills than spirit) but that goes without saying in a show like this. No doubt she will get a lot better before the end. Hard to say anything definite yet about the little elf girl.

I'll keep watching.
