ANIME // Soul Eater

The most popular of the animes, "Soul Eater" was ilustrated by Atsushi Okubo. First aired on TV Tokyo in Japan on April 7, 2008, and is set to contain fifty-one episodes. For me it was one of the best animes ever made in the world.
  

 

 

About the story:

The story starts with main characters 'Maka' and 'Soul', Maka being Soul's master and soul being the demon weapon. Soul and Maka are one step away from gaining a high title, yet are disappointed when all their passed hard work is wiped clean by one easy mistake, resulting in them having to start from scratch. As the story progresses, you are introduced to 'Black Star' and his demon weapon 'Tsubaki' and 'Kid' with his demon weapons 'Liz and Patty'.


 

 

Protagonists:

 

Maka Albarn

  
Maka Albarn (マカ=アルバーン) is the main protagonist of Soul Eater. She is a young but dedicated student who takes after her mother, another prodigious meister. However, her relationship with her father Spirit is strained due to his constant flirtations with women, leading her parents to divorce. As such, Maka is obsessed with turning her weapon partner, Soul Eater, into a death scythe that will surpass her father.[ch. 0a] She collaborates well with Soul in battle, but is prone to nagging and violent outbursts whenever Soul does something foolish. When in danger, however, Maka does everything she can to keep Soul out of harm's way.

 

Soul Evans

 

 Soul Evans (ソウル=エヴァンス), nicknamed Soul Eater (ソウル=イーター), is a demon scythe and the partner of Maka Albarn, and the main male protagonist. His weapon form has a red- and-black blade and an eye near its heel which expresses his emotions. He has a laid-back and nonchalant personality and tries to maintain a "cool" attitude, but often ends up embarrassing himself instead. He tends to bicker with Maka over unimportant things from time to time, but is fiercely loyal to her and has more than once displayed his will to die for his friends' safety. He also fights to resist the madness-inducing effects of black blood, which takes the form of a little demon who appears within his subconscious, after he is slashed in the chest by Ragnarok and infected with the Demon Sword's blood.

Black Star

Black Star (ブラック☆スター , stylized as "Black☆Star") is a ninja assassin and the meister of Tsubaki. He is exceedingly arrogant and loud-mouthed for an assassin, preferring to make a flashy entrance rather than sneaking up on his opponents, and tries to upstage anyone who gains more attention than he does. He frequently calls himself a "big" man destined to surpass God, thus driving himself to his physical limits and making him one of the most athletic students at DWMA.

 

Tsubaki

 Tsubaki Nakatsukasa (中務 椿) is the weapon partner of Black Star, classified as a "shadow weapon" who has the power to transform into a variety of ninja weapons including a kusarigama, a shuriken, and a smoke bomb. She is gentle, quiet, friendly, and easygoing, and provides a soothing influence among her friends whenever they argue. She is also very patient and tolerant of others, which allows her to put up with Black Star's constant arrogance and showboating, and serves as a highly collaborative partner in battle. Her multiple weapon forms are part of a tradition passed down by her family, descended from the first demon weapons created by Arachne

Death the Kid

 Death the Kid (デス・ザ・キッド), called Kid (キッド) for short, is the son of Lord Death and was created from a part of the Grim Reaper's being like his older brother Asura. However, lacking his father's aspect of fear, Kid developed his own personality. His status as a Grim Reaper grants him formidable godlike powers such as virtual invincibility. However, as an inheritor of Death's Madness of Order, Kid suffers from a crippling obsessive-compulsive disorder for symmetry in everyday life. As a result, he breaks down upon seeing anything off even by the slightest measurement, which hinders him in his daily life and in battle. This mindset results in him becoming the meister of the Thompson Sisters after seeing their matching weapon forms as a means to preserve his personal symmetry, but unable to fight using one of them while the other is missing. He can also summon a flying skateboard called Beelzebub as both transportation and a weapon. Because of his status as Grim Reaper and a polished meister, Kid is not required to collect souls or attend DWMA, but he does so anyway to create a custom weapon suited to his desires.

Liz and Patty Thompson

 Elizabeth Thompson (エリザベス・トンプソン) and her younger sister Patricia Thompson (パトリシア・トンプソン)—nicknamed Liz (リズ) and Patty (パティ), respectively—are the weapon partners of Death the Kid. Liz is a cynical young woman who always finds Kid's perfectionist attitude annoying, but is also very cowardly and has a fear of ghosts. Patty is an extremely childish girl who is able to maintain a cheerful attitude in any situation, but usually has bouts of psychotic rage to motivate her partners. They both take the form of semi-automatic pistols that compress Kid's soul wavelength and fire it in the form of energy bullets that range in strength from destructive blasts to painful yet non-wound-inducing shots. Both sisters are able to wield the other in their weapon form whenever Kid is absent.
