Over the past couple months I’ve looked at both of Satoshi Mizukami’s works that are available in English, Spirit Circle and Hoshi no Samidare: The Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, and my feelings on Biscuit Hammer were rather lukewarm. I felt like Spirit Circle improved on all of the problems I had with the story but that was expected, ... Read more

It has been a long time since I last read Biscut Hammer, but I remember the animal spirit things being very funny and yes I can agree the jokes do come off as LOOK WE MADE A JOKE which is true!

I still have my fingers crossed for an anime adaptation of this series, I just hope it goes to a talented studio that can handle the source material without messing things up, but if I had to choose I might go with JC Staff, Shaft, TRIGGER or MAPPA.
I didn’t find a way to work in a mention of the familiars but I liked how they weren’t all reflections of the characters or something simple like that, Loki’s words that no matter what his knight does he’ll follow him because it’s been too painful to watch them die over and over really summed it up nicely.
