NOT-SO-WHITE ZOMBIE: Following the debacle that was their initial witch hunt, former Shibusen school rising stars Maka and Soul find themselves "soulless" and back to square one. As a result, they are forced to take a remedial course with another victim, er, student -- the chronic underachiever, Black Star. Their mission is to track down their former homeroom teacher Sid, who reportedly kicked the bucket after taking a very sharp object to the forehead. Now the ex-instructor is apparently terrorizing the area after being turned into a zombie. I guess that's just the kind of man that Sid is and/or was. So how did the once-kind Sid turn into an evil zombie? And just how do you beat a zombified ex-teacher who also happened to be a top-class weapon master? And does Sid dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam at the back of his Dragula? Well, I guess you'll just have to watch Soul Eater's fourth episode.

On an unrelated note, is it just me or are certain Japanese zombie creations uncharacteristically energetic? Off the top of my head, two zombies come to mind -- Soul Eater's Sid and Darkstalkers' Zabel. Whatever happened to good, old slow zombies? You know, the ones that used to appear in old movies and managed to kill characters who were apparently too stupid to outrun something that moved just about as fast a tree? I blame Michael Jackson. His Thriller zombies suckered you in by first moving slow. Next thing you know, they're dancing as quick as a bad guy in a cowboy movie who's being shot at the foot. Then again, I actually like Sid and Zabel. Being chased by zombies as limber as them, though, is another story altogether. That's just askin' for a bladder problem.
