Spring 2014 overview part 1 made of stars

Welcome to the dance that anime bloggers do every three months if for no other reason than that it gives them something to write about and good topics are hard to come by. The shows come out over the course of a week or so and these are the first shows out. At least they shouldn't be the worst shows of the season.

Majin Bone

Shou is you standard high school student just like you have probably seen a hundred times by now. This time a weird alien rock falls from the sky and he gets some suit and will probably be fighting other aliens along with some other guys that haven't really been introduced yet. I found the animation to be a bit lackluster and my spidey sense tells me that this is something mainly made to sell toys. I will be giving this show a pass.

Blade and Soul

Alka was a wandering warrior who was hired by a village who was hired by a village who is being threatened by the Palma empire, who wants them to sell their land. Things turn out pretty much as expected and things will be escalating into more supernatural battles in the future. This show has it's fair share of fan service and maybe a bit more however Blade and Soul looks like it will be worthwhile as an action show rather than using sexuality as a crutch.

Jojo's Bizzare Adventure

Jotaro Kujo is a young man who was thrown in jail for getting into a fight but refuses to leave because he says he is possessed by an evil spirit. As it turns out the spirit is a stand or power that Jotaro now has and it all ties into a generational fight with the vampire Dio. Even as a first episode set up this show looks like it is going to be some heavy fighting show and I like it better than the first season of Jojo's already.
