In a flashback, some nobles gang up on a commoner and, after mocking his puny magic, murder him. Even as he burns to death, he can’t stop admiring how cool the nobles’ magic is. He wakes up as Lloyd, the infant seventh prince of the kingdom. The OP plays, and then we’ve flashed forward a few years (a later line of dialogue seems to indicate he’s ten). With the intellect of an adult, he seems like a prodigy to those around him. He’s obsessed with studying magic, but just when he reaches the library, Sylpha the combat maid catches him and makes practice the sword with her. Lloyd uses magic as they spar. Oh, look, a random bathing scene with Lloyd (remember, ten-year-old boy) and a bunch of naked maids. Because reasons? Moving on from the pedophilia, the maids gab about how there’s a demon named Grimoire sealed in a book in the secret forbidden underground library (which they somehow know about). Lloyd sneaks in, because that’s how these stories go, and he meets the demon. When Grimoire offers to teach him long-lost ancient magic, Lloyd frees the demon. It promptly attacks him, but of course Lloyd’s magic is stronger, so NBD. Grinning like a psychopath, Lloyd wrecks Grimoire. The demon concedes the fight and swears to become Lloyd’s familiar, taking on chibi form.
Well, that was the pinnacle of mediocrity. The OP was meh, the animation unimpressive, the premise was unoriginal, the plot was predictable, the fight scenes were boring, the character designs were derivative… Need I say more? I kept checking the time wondering how much longer this episode was going to drag on. There is nothing here that has not been done better repeatedly by other anime. I might have let this mediocre show off with a D for “Do not watch,” but the creepy bath scene drags it down to a cringeworthy D- grade. There are like eleventy billion better anime you could be watching instead of this. Don’t let my sacrifice be in vain!

This is a show made only for degenerate pedos like Rev Says Desu who get hard ons in this kind of crap. Gross.
