Soul Eater

Plot Summary: Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to make the latter a "Death Scythe" and thus fit for use by the Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.

Upon doing that the meister's weapons will become a Deathscythe, which is the highest title for a weapon. Maka with Soul Eater, Black Star with Tsubaki, Death the Kid with Patty and Liz Thompson are the characters Soul Eater revolves around. Besides taking the time to gather souls these students of Shibusen defend Death City from some of the most powerful of creatures while still attending school and trying to become stronger.

Personal Thoughts: Among all the characters, I prefer Blackstar and Death the Kid the most. Blackstar - a descendant of the Star Ninja Clan, a clan that was notorious for doing anything for money. His weapon is Tsubaki, though Black Star is a decent fighter even when unarmed. This makes him more versatile then other meisters. While wielding Tsubaki, Black Star can use abilities like creating shields and sensing enemies as well as moving at high speed and creating clones of himself. Without Tsubaki, he can send a large amount of soul energy through an opponent's body to stun or hurt them.

Death the Kid - Shinigami's son and the meister of Patti and Liz. Kid suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is represented as a complete obsession about everything being symmetrical. To him, anything symmetrical is beautiful and if something is off by even the slightest measurement he will try to correct it right away. As he was born a Shinigami, Kid's potential power is technically far above that of his fellow Shibusen students. However, the details of Kid's (or his father's) nature as Shinigami have not been revealed.

Critics & Comments: What kind of ending is with the anime series? It's non-sense!!
