Episode review: Soul eater 1

Soul eater

Maka attends the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters. She and her partner Soul need to collect 99 human souls and 1 witch soul in order for Soul to turn into a Death Scythe. In this episode they are about to catch the witch soul, but this witch is a clever one with several mischievous tricks on her sleeve. When they finally manage to take her soul, she reveals that she actually is a cat with a huge amount of magic power. This results for Maka and Soul to start all over again.

The first thing that I noticed was the unique alternative style of animation. It kind of reminded me at nightmare before Christmas in anime style. As far as the story goes, the name would intend something more serious and violent then it actually is. There is some blood in it and several action scenes; however there is plenty of comedy as well. The characters go from comical to plain absurd. I’m not totally sure if I will watch all of it, but at least it impressed me enough to stick around some more.

Since I couldn’t decide which screenie to post, here are some extras:
