HAPPY NEW YEAR~!
HAPPY NEW YEAR…!
It’s finally 2010~! Pop the champagne~
Umm… We’re too young to drink…
Oppsie~
Anyway… This will make this the first post of the New Year!
Right~!
So as a treat, we will have a special chapter!
? Special?
Yup...
How?
I will be introducing one of my favorite animes…
Oooo~
And this is one of those animes that are SO interesting, that it made me want to read the manga. I added in a few notes about its manga alternative as well…
Oh~
Well then…
INTRODUCING ‘SOUL EATER’~!
INTRODUCING ‘SOUL EATER’…!
______________________________________________
Soul Eater (Anime; 51 episodes)
Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Shounen, Supernatural
Soul Eater is set in a Shinigami technical school, Shibusen, for meisters and weapon. The story revolves around 3 groups consisting of a weapon meister and a human weapon: Maka Albarn with Soul Eater, Black Star with Tsubaki, Death the Kid with Liz and Patti (although more focus is placed on the first pair). Trying to make their human weapons into a "Death Scythe" for Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.
Okay, okay. Maybe the first paragraph makes this anime sound like some boring, ancient legend made into a shounen anime… Well, it’s not…
So let’s try this again…
First of all, this anime is packed with comedy scenes that can come out at practically ANYTIME, making anyone forgetting the mood of the previous scene (touching sad scene, action-packed fighting scene etc.) due to its impracticality that will totally drive you crazy with insanity (we will touch on this again later…).
Made me want to watch 10 episodes continuously in a row…
Second, the details of this newly-created world, released slowly at the different times of the story are easy to understand, something that is usually lacked in many other fantasy genre animes… The plot is also interesting even WITHOUT the comedy scenes (which will make it into another one of those boring shounen stories), and is mostly unpredictable.
Finally, let’s not forget the main attraction of the anime: Its Action-packed fighting scenes! Even though Laws of Physics cannot be applied in most action scenes (like they ever make sense anyway…), the fluid movement combined with anime’s nice art style makes each attack seemly performed beautifully.
Especially when each person/witch/creature/death god releases their ‘ULTIMATE ATTACK’, I cannot help but be frozen in awe…
And this is considering that I have watched/read many shounen stories…
Unfortunately, the ‘protagonist(s) finally obtaining a Death Scythe’ plan was not fulfilled as the anime ended prematurely, making it my only disappointment…
[*Note: The manga does show one of them obtaining a Death Scythe, since they have different story progression after chpt 37.]
Instead, we have them fight a Kishin (the BIG BOSS of an advanced evil human soul)!
And if you are wondering why the rest are not fighting, there are three reasons:
1) They are not powerful enough.
2) They have been heavily injured.
3) They are insane with the kishin’s insanity wavelengths~
That would already explain the purpose of their fighting…
Rating: 9/10 <<<<<<<<< D
In the nutshell: A quirky anime for all ages, especially those who had a bad day and is looking for a good laugh, in spite of its randomness. Action scenes are also amazing, although it’s usually interrupted by their comedy scenes. Its manga alternative has a bigger plot twist, and is recommended for those unsatisfied with the anime’s rushed ending. However, be warned that the manga is classified under ‘ecchi’ (I find the manga unsuitable for young children), so be VERY prepared for frontal nudity if you want to read it.
