Cecily Cambell just wants to be a Knight and protect her home like her father and grandfather before her. There's just one problem: she’s incompetent! During a fight with a crazed swordsman, Cecily’s cherished blade breaks; and just as she’s about to be cut down, a man named Luke comes to her rescue wielding a katana - a blade unlike any Cecily has seen before. Together they must ensure that the Demon Sword Aria doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, and Cecily alone must prove herself worthy of her very own katana.

Years after having been exiled from the Kannagi household for being unable to utilize their fire magic, Kazuma returns to Japan, only to discover that the Kannagi family's very existence is threatened. Unknown to them, during his absence, he had become a Contractor and thus acquired a vast strength in wind magic. Not showing any remaining contempt for them, he offers to help solve the Kannagi household’s problems in return for large sums of money. Together with his younger brother Ren and the feisty heir to the Kannagi household, Ayano, he fights to protect those he cares about... for a price!
the charicters are very a like and the devolpment int he story is also very simalier its almost like watching a spin off if you liik eone your sure to love the other
The interactions between the two main characters are virtually the same. The girl is a tsundere pink-haired fighter and the guy has a contract that allows him to do amazing things. A sacred sword is also part of each anime. And the plots are similar.
If you liked The Sacred Blacksmith or Kaze no Stigma, you'd like the other because... they both have to do with "magic" and sword fighting. Also the male lead is stronger than the female lead for most of the story, and he always saves the female lead. And until later does the female become stronger. Also both have to do with a past love the main guy had, and the girlis by his side and saves him.
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun with great beasts called Filth Monsters, a glimmering dome protrudes from the wasteland. This is Zuellni, a mobile city unique for having a consciousness in the form of ‘electronic fairies’. Moreover, Zuellni is an academy where the next generation of powerful Heavens-Blade wielders gather to pit their strength against each other in inter-platoon competitions. Nina Antalk, military student and leader of the 17th Platoon, is intent on recruiting only the best; thus, when mysterious Layfon Alseif transfers to the academy, she instantly recognizes his abilities and decides he’s the perfect candidate to join her group. However, with a secret past that won’t leave him alone, and unknown powers beyond the academy taking an interest in Zuellni, Layfon joining the team is only the start of all their troubles.
The main characters for both of these series have the same characteristics. The main male character is all powerful, and the main female works to be as strong as him.
In times of olde, humans live in constant fear of demons known as yoma. These vicious creatures can take the appearance and memories of humans they have devoured, thus blending into society as they freely feast on human flesh. The key to stopping the yoma lies with the tolerated yet feared Claymores - women who are half-demon, half-human, and fully fated to become the demons that they hunt. Meanwhile, in a village, the young Raki has been banished; his only crime was losing his family to the yoma. Raki is drawn to a Claymore named Clare, and together their journey begins. While Clare fights the yoma plaguing the land, can Raki help her in her struggle to retain her humanity?
just wanted to throw this out there cause even thought the story in this sacred blacksmith is meeger by any standard, it is similar to claymore in the setting and the female lead battling as a knight to achieve her goals.
In an ancient time of swords and sorcery,the struggle to rule the cursed land of Lodoss rages on, spilling the blood of monsters and men. With the threat of dragons and dark powers hellbent on destroying it, the only hope for Lodoss is a young swordsman named Parn and his comrades. Armed with determinination and sheer strength, the band of friends must join the forces of kings and elves to overcome the dark sorcerer Ashram and his mistress Pirotess, as the ultimate battle of good versus evil begins!
If you have a hunger for quality fantasy anime and found Sacred Blacksmith lacking, I highly suggest Lodoss War. It has all the staples of dungeon crawling epics without losing itself.
In a land where the souls of humans fossilize to become books, a group known as the Armed Librarians strive to maintain and protect the tomes stored within the Bantorra Library. Meanwhile the Shindeki church is transforming people into living weapons. These human bombs are known simply as ‘Meat’, and they have been programmed to carry out a single action: to kill Hamyuts Meseta, the Armed Librarians’ director. Now, alongside the threat of Dragon Pneumonia, the Librarians use their powerful and unique psychic abilities to stop the Shindeki Church at all costs. But when one of their colleagues betrays them and steals one of the seven war machines of the past, the Librarians must work even harder to prevent their enemies’ nefarious plans from coming to fruition.
A faux European setting, in the medieval or early modern era; completely preposterous 'European' names that are likely only impressive to the Japanese audience; bizarre magic powers, posessed swords of evil intent and whole bevvies of girls clad in tight, revealing clothing. Expect much bizarre plotting (or little thereto), and a heavy bucketload of angst. Sacred Blacksmith is definitely the sillier and more ephemeral of the two series, but Bantorra - while more plot driven - isn't bereft of mediocre bizarre-ness either.
The shows are so similar that some plot points got confused in my mind upon viewing them, and I suppose if you like one the other's worth a go.
