Soul Eater Review


Soul Eater is an anime adaptation to a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Atsushi Okubo. The Story is mainly about weapon meisters and weapons whose job is to defeat 99 Evil spirits and 1 witch to make their weapon a "Death Scythe", A weapon that can be used by the Grim Reaper himself.

 The manga is published by Square Enix and started airing april of 2008. Both the anime and the manga have differences even if the anime was derived from the manga. Stories and parts have been changed to fit it in 51 episode.

The Plot:

 The Story revolves around the partners Maka Albam (weapon meister) and Soul Evans (Weapon: Scythe),  The Assassin Black Star and his partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa ( Katana, Ninja Star, etc), and Death the kid (the son of the grim reaper)   and his pistol partners Liz and Patty Thompson, Students of the Death Weapon Meister Academy. The job of every weapon meisters like Maka is to make her partner Soul into a Death Scythe, who are considered the best weapons and are given the chance to be the weapon of the Grim Reaper The only way to be a death scythe is to collect 99 evil souls and 1 witch spirit and feed it to the weapon. All.seemed well at school until one witch (Medusa) tried to unleash the power of a kishin, a powerful evil being who was sealed by the Grim Reaper because it scattered madness and darkness. Now Maka and the others are on the quest to stop the witches and the kishin from spreading madness throughout the world.



 In my opinion this is the biggest anime let down for me. the story started really smoothly which is nice since it tends to set the mood and let the readers and followers adjust. the way they introduce the characters is also very interesting. Now back to my initial statement about the anime being a let down. The reason is really simple.the story seems to jump from one storyline in the middle parts which made it really hard to follow. the ending as well is a bit (sorry for my word) stupidly made. For me, this anime could atleast have been made better if they explained more how the story started and make it a bit easier to understand. Even if this anime is for boys they should have atleast give more emphasis on the story. I don't want to spoil but this anime is actually interesting the only downside is the ending.

 I'll rate this with 7/10

In an unknown city, organized crime and Orgmen have flooded the land. With nowhere to escape and no one else to go to, a young girl named Mika commits herself to the revival of a great sweeper, Brandon Heat, now obtaining the alias "Beyond the Grave". With the entire city under the hands of Harry MacDowel, Beyond the Grave must put an end to the tyranny of Harry and his Organization. But can Brandon Heat point same gun at the person he once was his bestfriend? This anime is a 26 episode anime with crimes, sci-fi,actions and drama. Well to tell the you the truth just for me the first episode is kinda boring but don't be fooled by it because the other sequence will leave you hanging so catch up on our main character as he venture and deal with his amity. Though there are times where in the pacing of anime is slow and dead silence takes over we were pleased by the progsession of the story line and how you will be able to get to know each character and their r

Buzzer Beater is a 13 episode anime adaptation to the work of Takehiko Inoue which was serialized in Shueisha. The manga itself can also be viewed in Takehikos's Webpage in  Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Buzzer Beater is one of the many basketball themed animes. The series Center Hideyoshi Tanaka, a basketball prodigy at a very young age. Hideyoshi plays with the human team to compete in the inter galactic basketball games. All seems good about their team and the rivalries aside when hideyoshi learned something about himself. Buzzer Beater is one of the many basketball themed anime i tried watching. To be blunt, i am really confused about this anime. The plot of the anime is actually quite interesting and it had potential. but i am not sure if this anime could go head to head against anime with the same genre. Let me start with the "good" part. The animation of the series is really good. Watching the series actually  gives you a bit of thrill and suspens
