This Week in Anime - Does Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer Overcome Its Animation Shortcomings?

How hard is it to look up pictures of horses? I know they’re hard to draw but just making the mouth the right size and the legs bend correctly is not that hard

If this is the way people actually get into Mizukami's works, which I think are nearly all mostly solid if not great, then I suppose that's at least one positive I can take from the anime existing. That said, a much better adaptation would do that job a lot better and either way, Biscuit hammer should have never come out in this state, hell no show really but that it's something that could have soared to higher heights with the right team/management it stings all the more.

Like this isn't just about simply looking pretty this is about missing a chance to really make the adaptation something worth watching in it's own right which you don't need to look like violet evergarden to do or anything(Planet With is literally a perfect example). Not to mention, unless Mizukami gets type moon kinda money and connections, *this is it*. This was the only shot it will probably get because unless you're a big franchise or a cultural landmark title there will be no financially viable reason to attempt a remake or anything, that's not even counting how many years would have to pass for that to be a consideration.

It seems that Mizukami really had to struggle to find a way to get this animated at all and much as I respect that he was somehow able to make it happen at all, I do find it a massive pity that it not only had to come out like this, but also that the best I can really hope for it is to merely serve as a stepping stone for his other works to be placed in better hands as we leave this adaptation in the dust where, to put it bluntly, it probably belongs.

Oh well, at least there's still the manga.

Mizukami also is involved with the anime as he supervises the scripts.

I feel like the DiCaprio meme, but it is what it is

Wait, which DiCaprio meme? I'm not very up to date on memes, would you mind educating me?

Me whenever I see a scene I remember from the original in the anime

I'm enjoying the show thoroughly. I also must be some kind of visual Philistine because these apparently glaring animation lapses that are the talk of the town basically blow right by me. By the way, if I was a Beast Knight, I'd want my animal to be a Komodo Dragon because I've always thought them things wuz cool.
