2014 Spring Anime Season Preview

Hello, hello, once again we are almost at the spring season! This is a painfully long list and god knows how time consuming it is to sift through each one. What keeps me going is the knowledge that somewhere down the list will be a show I actually want to talk about, even if I have to go through hell to get there. Kay, a bit exaggerated, but you get the point.

Anyhow, with the exclusion of carryovers and two wonderful Bones shows, the Winter lineup was pretty dreary. I'm not sure if it's me being overly critical or this season is still pretty thin by spring standard. Aside from Mushishi, there isn't a single show I think I can bank on, which is pretty sad for the length of this preview. Don't get me wrong, I think there are quite a few series with potential, but that's exactly where things are at – potential with a lot of uncertainty. It will become more apparent once the season settles in, for now let's take a look at the candidates.
