Manga and anime are a big part of me. I read and watch a lot. Because of this, I've decided that I like to tell people about the anime I watch and the manga I read. And so spawned this phase of Obsession is My Getaway.
The posts that come in the future will be reccomendations or things that I found interesting in different anime or manga. If you wish, you can read and I'll do my best to stay objective on a personal standard and give you the whats-what of things that I've watched.
Enjoy!
Soul Eater, an anime I have just recently finished, is a good example of a holiday taken to the extreme. Death City, the main setting of the story, is like one big Halloween town with a school planted at the top of its mountainous structure: Shibusen. Kids [called technitians or meisters] go to this school with one purpose: to get their weapon-partner the chance at becoming a Death Scythe, or Shinigami-sama's weapon.
I was almost instantly taken in by the two main characters, Soul and Maka. Soul is a very laid back guy who wants everything around him to be "cool". Maka, his technitian, has a calm disposition and plenty of smarts, but she's also adventurous and has a big fight in her. Soul's best friend, Black Star, and his partner Tsubaki are also big characters in the show. Black Star has a god-complex and his ultimate goal is to surpass whatever god is out there. His partner is his anchor and she helps keep him sane in his quest. Lastly, there is the partnership of Death the Kid, Liz, and her sister Patty. Kid has insane OCD. He MUST have everything symetrical or he can possibly get physically sick. His partners Liz and Patty are very energetic. Liz is a bit of a scardey-cat and her sister Patty just loves a good laugh [Which always got me laughing too, her laugh I mean.]
In order from left to right: Maka, Soul, Black Star, Death the Kid, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty.
The story, after the first couple of introductory episodes, was very captivating. Whatever plot points were revealed made me want to know more and more. It was an interesting show with good art and a strange sort of music that fit the theme very well of Halloween.
All in all, I'd give it these scores-
Art: 8
Music: 7
Plot: 8
Characters: 9
Hey there. :P Tis a glorious day! The first post and my world is up and running. XD Well, lets see... Not much has happened as of late. We rented a couple movies because we're on spring break.
Oh, for those of you who don't know me, you can call me Akari, Akari-san, Rai, or whatever you like. ^^ I just turned fourteen, yaddah yaddah... Hmm... I like video games! Oh, and I'm a girl!! *forgot to mention that*
Onto business! I think I might petition for fourteen year olds to be able to drive legally without a parent. *not serious* The only reason why is because my mom doesn't want me to go to the convention and I REALLY want to go. I have the money too... I just need a ride.
Oh, yeah, that and my mom loathes anime. She's grounded me from it for who knows long... Until she "gets educated on the suject"... XP Bleh. I miss watching Ouran... and Pretear... and- *lists off a million anime*
The good news is that I can officially watch only Fullmetal Alchemist!! XD She's only approved that one so far. Anyone else grounded from anime? Man I wish I was eighteen already...
