Ok Cecily isn't exactly the best character ever made but she's not even close to some really annoying characters.
It's like people decided to hate her from the start and don't change no matter what. Everyone was complaining that Cecily wasn't kicking enough ass and now that she improved people still have a problem because she won. There is no pleasing you.

And for those wondering on why they didn't let them have the swords. Well it's very simple. The empire won't like hearing the news that that the princess escaped but if they don't even give them the swords(that they probably want even more than her) then they will really be pissed of and probably attack the city. It was simply politics.
By at least giving them the swords they will be more calm and the city will show that it really tried to realize there demands and that the princess escaping wasn't on purpose.

francismeunier, I think you forgot that the empire would destroy the city if they would let them escape with taking their swords.
Yeah, good point there.

Luke doesnt seem like someone who would actually volunteer to help until unless forced by cecily...
Not that i am saying lukes bad or something , its just that he likes to mind his own business..--this definetly makes him sound awesome!!
francismeunier said:
It would fantastic if Charlotte had Doris/Margot/Penelope with their demon swords...but now they are defenseless. It will be boring to see no action with those demon swords

Fights with the demon sword is going to be shown hence dont worry .{evidence: shown in the opening}


Evryone talked alot during this episode
Cecily surely talks alot while shes fighting, maybe thats why she doesnt fight that well...
God wheres luke?? his fights are something to look forward to but when are they going to show it , in season 2.., because they didnt reveal anything of the plot...

Man enough with the damn boob jokes, there is no need for them anymore. Pretty generic episode, says a lot about the series so far, although its still good. The animation during the fights was good, quite a high budget they have for this series I guess. 4 more episodes, I wonder how the plot will progress now that Charlotte is gone, besides we all know who it was at the front of the gates with the silver hair!

meh I like this episode because of Cecily kicking asses. I still cannot compute the plot or whatsoever role Luke is supposed to be. I'm thinking this anime would need a second season with this much of progress.

Okay, fine, she looks older, and that's why mr. Bad-guy wants them to retrieve Aria.

THIS. I mean Cecily wasn't exactly my fav character either, and while she frustrated me A LOT in parts, I never hated her. And now that she's FINALLY kicked some ass, people are complaining about it? Seriously? xD meh

I do agree there needs to be a lot more Luke than there has been, tho. But when I think about it, this is a huge improvement on last week's episode, which quite frankly, bored me to death .__.

and lol at the "Cecily: I AM FUCKING STUPID!! O:<" ...even if i somewhat like her character that was hilarious xD

Why did they call this show "The Sacred Blacksmith"?
It's like calling "The Lord of the Rings" something like "The side adventures of Gandalf".
Ok, it's a character in there, but the main story is about something else.

Anyway, I'd actually prefer to watch at boobs for the remaining 4 episodes than seeing a Luke comeback: we had no develpoement of the character whatsoever. We just know that he wants "a sword who can kill god" to do "something". Wow, that's impressively interesting.

Beyond that, francis, I totally agree with argilium. Charlotte and company were trapped, and since they declined both offers from the Empire and the militant forces (or whatever), the only thing they could do was fake their death and move on from there. They could have kept the swords if they went with the opposing force, but since they weren't attached to them anyways, it didn't matter.

After reading this it is clear that you have not seen this episode more than once and when you did see it you did not pay good enough attention. First of all, Charlotte and her company did go over to the militant nation. If you had read the dialog between Cecily and Charlotte in the end you would know this because Cecily clearly said "Charlotte, defect to the militant nation"(17 mins out in the episode) and after some more talking about Charlotte living a life in shame with the other girl Cecily said" If you can`t accept it, then take arm. Fight for your future!" As we know Charlotte failed and Cecily won, and because of that Charlotte decided to accept the offer from the militant nation and left the city with her friends.

An okay episode, and Cecily seems to have improved her fighting capabilities much better than before. Nice that the story of the Charlotte and the other are resolved (and a good resolution at that), and they even gave a huge clue as to who is behind all the misfortune (eager to see where this will lead). Curious to see when they are finally going to put Luke back into the story though, seeing as though he is also a main character and his past is yet to be revealed.

The good part is that Cecily improves her skill a lot, and the bad part is that Luke is probably the supporting character because he hardly gets screen time. It was good episode so far.

So Charlotte E. Firobisher died, and at the same time, a new Charlotte was born, lol. Nothing made sense. As usual, I was laughing the entire time they were fighting.

First of all, if Cecily let them get the demon swords, why didn't they fight her all together? Second, how did Cecily beat them? I'm assuming it's because of her morning exercise with Aria. You just gotta love the tactics Cecily used. "Oh my wind won't work so I'm going to use the back of the sword to produce wind so that it'll turn me into a rocket." oh my.

Also loved how they were all like friends in the end. Yeah just give them apples and everything will be settled, lol. I wonder who Siegfried is. Good or a bad guy?

This. Indeed. This show gets moar stupid with every ep.
And what was that speech Cecily gave Charlotte? "You have a new family and your mother's dead so forget her". Or "What's wrong with living in shame to the rest of your life?" (or smthing like that). Wtf? She's a goddess of stupidity. Glad she finally admitted that. It saved the day!

Great episode!

I'll say it again, FUNi really out did themselves with this series.

This is the best dub I've seen in a while. Cherami Leigh is becoming my favorite female VA if not my fav all together. She was simply perfect this episode, her monologue was epic to say the least.

I'll agree that some of the plot points are a little random and maybe even a little illogical.
But, I think it fits the flow of the show. I mean, the chick is fighting with a dagger with balls...Ballic Dagger...really? So yeah, imo that pretty much throws a reason out the window. It's supposed to be ridiculous, yet believable.

And I think they hit the nail on the head. And FUNi just made it that much better!

Urahara Out!!

Seriously, is no one in this show using their brains? They start fighting, then get furious with each other every time they get a little cut... that's the freaking idea with fighting! And their reasoning makes no sense whatsoever, and Cecily's even less so, as she forgives them for every single thing they've done to her and Aria. I just don't get the logic of this show...

I agree to that, it did ruin it for me too.

Same goes for me. It might be the joke of the series, but it's a rather lame one, and it never fails to make me cringe at its lameness.

"What's wrong about living a life in dishonor?"

I...well...I like the end result, but the sentiment here probably didn't come across as the show intended. I ended up liking Charlotte and her crew, and I think they have an even more interesting story than the main characters. I mean, imagine a show about a girl and her three servants, whom are as close as family, living on the run from an empire that abandoned them. It would exactly be a slice of life, but a story about defending that life.

But hey, that's just what I'd find interesting. As far as Sacred Blacksmith is concerned, I'm unsure of the show's intent, beyond underlying plot threads that are apparently building up to something, but thus far it's just serving as a taste for what's to come in its source material, rather than the anime itself. Nothing wrong with that, but the show itself, while not exactly noteworthy, does feel like it's finding its own flow. It would be a shame for that to be lost to a lack of time and episodes.

this must have been said by someone earlier but still....why does a show based exquisitely upon sword/dagger has one with a pair of BALLS on it's hilt and to even worsen the situation it is named Ballock that's what I thought before google searching ....have to be convinced that it's real...

now Cecily already proved earlier in her battle of 3 vs. 1 without any prior info about her opponent...why to even challenge her again that too facing her one on one..this fight was good only from Cecily's point of view.

Well at least that's the end of Charlotte.

Not sure how Cecily managed to beat the other 3 so easily without inflicting serious wounds, but as we saw last episode they're all significantly weaker than the maid so who cares about their battle anyway.
