Soul Eater center around three groups of meisters and their human weapons (humans who turn into weapons) and their goal of eating 99 souls plus the soul of one witch to become a Death Scythe. A weapon so powerful that even Lord Death himself uses such a weapon. The main characters are Maka, Soul, Death the Kid, Patty and Liz and Black* Star and Tsubaki. These three groups of meister and weapons protect Death City from all type of evil crazy foes all the while still going to school and becoming stronger.

Soul Eater is a ball of fun! The animation is extreemly fluid and when people get into fights, they get into fights. There's actual choreography and you find yourself thinking/saying "damn! Did she just parry two hits at the same and while managing to kick/hit it!?!" It's sick!

Plus the character designs are fun to look at also. It kinda has a punk-ish edgy feel to it while also being kinda minimalistic. Apparently, the less detail to animate makes for awesome animation.

The music is awesome as well. T.M. Revolution does the opening song "Resonance" and it's the greatest song ever!! And the ending song "I wanna Be" by STANCE PUNKS is great as well. Makes you want to head out in the street fist pump in the air.

This anime is not to be missed!! It's fun, edgy, hilarious, and has so much action in it. It can be found online on youtube via Funimation's channel or you can buy it on dvd from your local video store. I give this anime a definite 5 out 5!! It's guaranteed to have you addicted.

Ps. For some reason i am having trouble right clicking to saving images so that's why i like no pics. gomen ne...^^

Kara no Kyoukai-The Garden of Sinners first premiered in Japan in December 2007. But the series itself started in the form of a novella that was released as a dojin in 1998 by Kinoko Nasu and illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi. The novella was later published by Type-moon then Kodansha in Japan while in America it was published by Del Ray Manga.

The plot summary for the series as a whole is "Mikiya Kokuto finds himself intrigued by two things. The first is by Shiki Ryougi a beautiful, yet rather unsociable, girl and the other is the strange series of violent deaths that start occuring in his town. As he attempts to get closer to Shiki, he soon learns that the two are connected and that there are many supernatural forces at work which could very likely get him killed as well." Which turns out to be kinda true.

The series is split up into seven movies with the seventh being released this August.The movie titles in the order they came out are; Fukan Fukei, Satsujin Kosatsu, Tsukaku Zanryu, Garan no Dou, Mujun Rasen Boukyaku Rokuon, and Satsujin Kosatsu prt 2. Another interesting thing about the movies are that they are intentionally being shown out of order. The first movie is the third movie and the first one is...I don't know really I'm only up to the fifth movie which has the most awesome action scenes thus far, there's speculation that it's the last movie.

The movies are awesome but if you like lots of action and hardly any talk then this series is not for you. Throughout maybe the hour of movie there will only be one action scene but lots of talking and storytelling. It's not insufferable talking but after seeing the one fight scene you want to see more.

The music is also great. It's composed by one of my favorite composers Yuki Kaijura (did music for; Mai Hime, .Hack//SIGN, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and .hack//Liminality among others). The music is fantastic throughout conveying the mood for every scene spectacularly.

At the end, I love this movie so far and I can't wait to see how it ends. The only thing that I would notify people of is that if you get grossed out easily, you may not want to see this movie because there are some gruesome images of limbs/people being sliced apart among other things. But if that doesn't bother you than by all means.The dvd is supposed to be released stateside late this summer definitely so buy it or have someone else buy it for you! After watching the trailer below of course. Until next time!!
