Day Three- Majin Bone
 |
| The bands all here |
After two days of talking about
transforming five man bands and guys in armor fighting monsters and other
armored guys, let’s talk about a five man band who transform into armor and
fight other guys in armor. Wait… But anyway, let’s talk about Majin Bone.
Majin Bone is a show that came out
in spring season of this year, and is still going on. It is about a group of regular
boy who has no real ambition in life. But after investigating a mysterious
noise that only he can hear he is attacked by a guy in a suit of armor, based
off of a scorpion, and dons one of his own, a dragon armor. He is eventually joined
by three, and then a fourth, Bone fighter, and together they defend the world
from alien Bone fighters who seek to destroy the world. I’ve talked about this
show before, usually lavishing it with praise as a top tear shonen anime. While
it is more of a kids anime meant to sell toys, or in this case promote a card
game, everything about it acts more like a traditional shonen show, but as a
near perfect example of the genre. The best example of this is the growth of
the protagonist Ryuujin Shougo. He starts as this small minded character, not
really caring about the battle to save the planet, and only gets into it to
protect his small slice of life, his everyday life as he puts it. But as the
series keeps going, he is consciously expanding that small slice, starting from
just his family and friends, to their friends, to the whole world, and even the
world of those trying to destroy him, just because they are now part of his
world. His growth, from normal person to a true hero, is just so well done, and
it is a joy to watch. That is why his growth as a character is my moment from
Majin Bone.
Seriously, if you are not watching
Majin Bone, you should be and you should start now. It is an incredible show
that does not get enough hype. Seriously, do yourself a favor and pick up this
show. Marathon it. Enjoy Majin Bone. 9 more days left until Christmas, so until
tomorrow, have fun watching.
