Soul Eater was a manga that turned into a anime then turning into several video games. The synopsis is set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. The main characters are played by the students in this school . The main characters are Maka, Soul, Patty, Liz, Death the Kid and Black Star. There mission is to rid the world of evil meisters that devour the souls of humans which is forbidden against in “Death City” and by the Shinigami. There is a lot of ass kicking, cool moves and comedy. I recommend you watch the anime and if you could get your hands on SoulEater: Monotone Princess the video game you would be one lucky shmuck because it is currently just playable on Japanese Wii consoles. When will these animes turned video games finally be playable in the U.S. with American subtitles!
