Spring 2014 season overview part nine, twenty eight is enough

With this article I officially finish looking at show for three months. I know I haven't seen everything available but most people don't watch over two dozen shows and that I what I have done in the past week. This time I cover four shows that I couldn't watch on Crunchyroll.

Damidaler Prince vs Penguin Empire

A young man who is a giant pervert saves the earth with a mech. This show is a probably the closet you will get to a mecha show in the Go Nagai tradition in a few seasons, right down to almost Jam project . This a pretty perverted show so I wouldn't expect a wide audience to like this.

Selector Infected Wixoss

Ruko is a quiet girl who finds about a card game that can grant wishes. At first look this might be the second show desperately trying to be Madoka Magica (see This for the other one) However it looks like it might go in enough of it's own direction to be a worthwhile show.

Riddle story of the Devil

An Assassin in a class of assassins falls for her target. After thinking about this show I think that many people could easily be turned off by how all the characters in this show have two dimensional personalities; The cold protragonist, her ditzy and cheerful love interest and her collection of barking mad classmates slash antagonists. However this is a yuri show and not only that a yuri show with a plot so it has it's cadre of ready made loyal followers.

Soul Eater Not!

This is the story of three girls who live in a witch hunting school. This is another slice of life show. The fact that one of the main characters can transform into a halberd is a fact of little bearing on the show as a whole. There is a yuri undercurrent to this show but given that it is a slice of life kind of show don't go in expecting it to go much of anywhere.
