Summary:

In a bizarre fantasy world, students known as meisters are trained at the illustrious Shinigami Weapon Meister University; but the tools they wield are no ordinary weapons! Each meister is paired with a human-like being who can transform into a weapon at will; and after defeating a pre-kishin - a human whose soul has darkened - the weapon eats the soul within it. A meister's ultimate goal is to collect ninety-nine pre-kishin souls and one of a witch so that his or her partner will become an all-powerful Death Scythe. Maka and her partner Soul Eater; Assassin Black Star and his partner Demon Blade Tsubaki; and Shinigami's son Death the Kid and his partners the Demon Twin Pistol Thompson Sisters each vie for their ultimate goal, but plenty of challenges and adventures lie in their way!

I had avoid this anime like the plague and I don't know why. Maybe because I was worried about it being too cartoony or childish.  I only decided to watch it because I had got lazy and didn't feel like reading subtitles. Also some of the vocie actors in this are Todd Haberkorn , Monica Rial, J. Michael Tatum, and Vic Mignogna, I will watch an anime just because they are voice acting in them.

The realtionships between the characters were very well done. Every episode was interesting making you want to continue on to the next and lastly wanting it to go on for forever. The fighting was pretty legit they just didn’t have anyone really exciting to fight. The whole series is full of puns and underlying humor that will make you smile like an idiot every time, which is just fantastic. The good outweighs the bad by far so don’t let my negativity towards the bad guys prevent you from watching the show. You’ll love it after the first episode.

I also loved the ending song and know it by heart.

I give this a 4 out of 5.
