I don't want to talk about Torchwood anymore. I really don't. But before I stop, I hear RTD is coming to the US now? So while it's not for sure, it's looking less and less likely there will be a 4th series. Then again, the ratings were really good, so who knows. I don't want there to be, but it doesn't matter. If there is, I probably won't be watching anyway. Moving on...

After the crap of the last couple days (*glares at TW even though I'm not talking about it*), I was in great need of a fun, colorful, ass-kicking show and guess what I found - Soul Eater.

Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to make the latter a "Death Scythe" and thus fit for use by the Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.

I'm only on episode 16 out of 51 (I watched 12 eps yesterday), but so far I'm actually liking all the characters. My favorite favorites are probably Maka, Soul, Death the Kid, and Stein. But like I say, they're all great. Death the Kid is hilarious though. He's like Niles Crane, but worse. If things aren't perfectly symmetrical, he has a nervous breakdown. He'll leave in the middle of fighting just to make sure that the toilet paper is folded into a point or that a frame in his house isn't leaning too much to one side <3 He's so badass, he shoots with his pinkies.

And I love the friendships. This show is all about technicians and weapons fighting together and making each other stronger. They have to trust each other completely and get their souls in sync. I even have a bit of a ship - Soul/Maka. They are just too freaking cute.

Anyway, I just wanted to talk about something that wasn't depressing. Here's the first opening. Enjoy :D



Oh, and I have a new header. It's Kyouichi and Tatsuma from Tokyo Majin, another favorite anime ♥
