I am not a fan of the shota hungry maids, otherwise I liked the first episode mostly because of how quirky it was. Lloyd is a magic maniac and due to his hunger for new kinds of magic he is an overpowered luncatic that is amusing to watch. Having a demon familiar will probably make for some fun situations too, finally, the animation is pretty good.

Yeah, quirky is very much the perfect word to descibe the show thus far. Every character is a bit out there and Lioyd is chief among them with how much of an insane magician he is. Seems like the fights are not so much about winning but rather about what kind of nonsense the mc will produce.

Is it bad that I am kind of into this? Especially kind of with the cute boy concept, as most usually fit the bratty type. Maybe if he wasn't such a child body, but it does feel like it is treating him in ways not usual for male characters, while at the same time doesn't feel like it is making a joke about being a boy, and also really strong. The more silly animation also has a lot of character too.

It is kind of just fun to watch with some of its animation.

Every episode is such an over the top joy to watch. This week we had a very amusing battle in which qi got a change to shine and the second half was all about cooking up some enchanted weapons. I get the feeling that said weapons will turn the monsters into sashimi next week.

Yup, those enchanted weapons are really sharp and dangerous. That said, Sylpha wielding one of those swords with her ridiculous swordplay is a straight up menace. It is fun seeing the ugly bunnyish looking demon getting dealt with. Given that Lloyd is messing around with a new type of magic I expect things to not be over yet though.
