The first three episodes are genuinely rough, full of awkward pacing and a title that makes no sense. Push past that wall. What waits on the other side is a character journey where two broken people, one cursed with eyes that destroy, one cursed with immortality, stumble toward redemption while the comedy keeps you from drowning in the weight of it. By the middle stretch, the show figures out what it is: a story about choosing peace when destruction is all you've ever known, told through banter that actually lands and character moments that earn their emotional gutpunch.

Ryner Lute carries a terrible burden: eyes that can dissect any magic but are branded as instruments of ruin. Once an academy student, he watched classmates fall in a war, and afterward he and his friend Sion vowed to bring order and peace to their nation. Now that Sion rules the Roland Empire, a land where corrupt nobles oppress the people, he tasks Ryner with hunting relics left behind by legendary heroes. Alongside Ferris Eris, a gifted swordswoman, the lazy Ryner sets out on the search, though all he really wants is a quiet life of idleness. Before long the pair find themselves swept into a war, while Ryner also seeks the truth about his cursed eyes in this action fantasy adventure.
