SOUL SEARCHING: Scythe specialist Maka Albarn and her living weapon Soul Eater collect their 99th soul and are only a witch's soul away from powering Soul up into his ultimate form: a Death Scythe. Collecting that witch's soul, however, is apparently easier said than done...
Now as much as I like Soul and Maka, their relationship reminds me of many an anime character that have gone before so I wouldn't consider the two exactly ground breaking from a personality standpoint. Still, the combination works so that's still fine by me.
I do enjoy the little added touches to spice things up a bit and keep it interesting. Maka's dad, for example, is your stereotypical super-doting, overprotective dad but the added 21st century element of his divorce woes is actually a pretty funny twist -- and how often do you hear someone say that about divorces? Plus I can never hate super-doting, overprotective dads because that's exactly how I'm gonna be if I ever have a daughter. Die, hormonically active young male scum! I also like the fact that they named a "witch" Blair. I see what you did there, Soul Eater. In short, I'm intrigued enough to continue giving this series a chance. I pray that it doesn't disappoint.
