I am intrigued by the story, and a 50-minute premiere episode is always welcome. Konami Animation is surprising me with how good this show looks given the fact that this is their first full production of an anime. The camera angles when a fight scene comes up are so awesome. The villain, I think may be cartoonish evil who just wants war, but that last scene with that magic circle may turn the story on its head. I have a few gripes, though. I don't like that the main characters use wooden weapons in sword & magic world. Despite the King knowing that his son is behind the beaking of the peace treaty, he does nothing about that and lets it all play out. Worst King I've seen in a while.
