Majin Bone

Majin Bone. A show that really tests the value of everyday life. Story 7/10: The story isn't terrible, but it isn't really ground breaking. But what is shown is actually very well paced, it never really felt like they had to rush a certain detail and it does have a good since of discovery within the world that they have given us. There were also moment that it did draw me into the story of it, especially closer to the end. I just wish it kinda happened a little bit earlier. Art 8/10: Now this is where I felt that theshow really shined, the animation. There are two different styles 2D and 3D, if anything this kinda reminded me of Aladdin in the Cave of Wonders part. And I was a fan of the 3D part, what I wish they did was put more of the two styles together more often. Aside from the first few episodes it doesn't happen that often. And when it did happen, the 3D stuff didn't do much, it need to more interactive in my opinoin. Sound 6/10: It is well voiced acted, and the effects are good enough. Music okay, but no real battle music aside from the big ones. If they had something that match the fights it would of been that much better, but as it is, it is passable. Characters 6/10: The characters are kinda all over the place. Some I really like, some I didn't (which is really only one), and some were tolerable. The antagonist had the most development here, you see them struggle with faith a lot more then the actual protagonist. I like that, but it was obvious that they never really were the bad guys simple because they give off a likable trait early on. The main character on the other hand, started off great. I was really able to tell his struggle and pains that he went through, and what he fights for is a good cause, but my main problem with him was that he had too much doubt in himself. First few times understandable, rest too much. Enjoyment 7/10: I did enjoy the anime, and I probably would watch it again. The fights were fun, no doubt about that. Overall 7/10: A good anime, I think people would enjoy it. Especially if you want a good study on antagonist being good in the end.

My outlook on this anime overall its a bit mixed. I really enjoyed the premise and the plot along with the idea's meant to be taught, however there were times when the forward progression falters. The premise of the planet and the elements of nature lending there powers to a select few chosen people to protect the planet. That is a somewhat common plot. This may start out that way but they expands to encompass the protection of the whole universe. They really push the envelope with that addition. When these things are attempted the majority of the time it backfires, though, in my opinion,the writers "just" manage to pull it off. I'm also pretty sure I can speak for most us when I say "no one really likes recap episodes" All it is is a filler episode. Just an attempt to fill time while they work on the next episode, but it losses the stories over all flow. Even with these flaws and a few others, they manage to pull it all together in the end. The conflicts are resolved, their destruction is held off for them to clean up their act, and the two opposing forces join in a common goal. The best part for me is this is not one of those cliff hanger, unresolved ending stories.
