Blade & Soul

...just don't be expecting anything too special.

Aruka (becomes 'Alka' by episode 2) is a female assassin from 'the clan of the sword'. She is extremely skilled and hunted relentlessly by the Emperor (Empire haha) and his formidable henchwoman, Jin Varrel, for vague reasons (threat?). Along her travels, she meets an array of mostly female characters, all of which are warriors.

That's pretty much all I can say without spoilers, but there really isn't much else to it anyway. The animation is quality, with some CGI thrown in, and there's plenty of action, a lot of which is pointless fighting. All the strong characters are scantily clad women, while the men play stupid, servile roles. There's not much room for character depth or epic story scope and the final episode is a complete waste of time. That being said, overall, it's still a decent action/fantasy anime, worth watching if you're bored.

The series follows a female assassin looking to avenge the murder of her master. Along the way she encounters virtually only female characters. The men in the show are mostly idiots. The show is very female dominant.

There is no character depth at all and the plot is very simple but yet the show was rather enjoyable.

The graphics were really mesmerizing. The show should be taken for what it is. There is no moment of boredom at all. Don't think too much, just watch.

Looking to pass time? Then give this anime a shot.
