Action-packed Soul Eater!


            Soul Eater before anything else is an anime I haven't finished watching but don't fret I am actually just 4 episodes left and I don't wanna burst your bubble but I have been in this 4-episode-left state like more than half a year ago. Don't get me wrong. It is not because I didn't love the anime because I really loved it but my dvd got busted and I postpone it and postpone it and now I don't feel much excited to watch it especially since I'm more into reading manga instead.
            First of all, Soul Eater is an anime my boyfriend recommended me to watch and I enjoyed watching the first 3 episodes but at that time I was so busy I didn't have much time to do a marathon but when I did... I watched the whole first season non-stop. The story is about a school were students are taught how to fight the villains and it revolves around Maka and Soul. Maka is a famous student because of her parents' fame for being one of the best partners there is. Soul on the other hand, is a guy who turns into Maka's weapon. They both try to become the best. Thus, their journey starts as they get stronger along the way. They are often partnered with some students who became their friends as the story develops. These characters are Kid with his partners-- two sisters and Black
Star –partner Tsubaki. They get along well but some qualms do happen. The story actually gets deeper around the 15th episode.
            This anime is very unique and the art is just simple but the colors are kinda distracting sometimes because there is too much contrast that sometimes my eyes just hurt. The soundtrack is very cool and I loved it so much especially the second ending song! The first opening song is actually very catchy and upbeat that I also love listening to that one as well. The story is pretty well-developed and the fights scenes are so cool! I am actually trying to get myself to finish this anime. It's been a long time coming but I am gonna finish it! So if you do crave some anime full of action, this would be a good one for you!
           Before I end this review which I made a month ago... I just want to say that I've actually finished Soul Eater last week and Maka was so cool!!!! I love this action-packed anime so if you want some good action anime right now this is one good find!

an intense night of MAJOR!!

          It's been quite a while since the last time I watched an anime that could make me quiver this much! Quiver with excitement! I just had a MAJORathon last night of the anime's first 2 seasons.
          This anime is all about the life of Goro, a baseball prodigy. The main plot of this story is Goro's goal to become a professional baseball player and the whole series is all about his journey to reach it.
          The last time I watched a sports anime was One Outs (what do you know -- another baseball anime!) It's different than most sports anime in a way that this series basically revolves around the main character only. He jumps from one team to another as he grows older - from little league to middle school - to high school - to minor league and finally the major league - unlike Prince of Tennis,Slamdunk, Eyeshield 21 (where characters are given a chance in the limelight). Although this anime shows a lot of teamwork in it but basically its all about how Goro influences his teammates especially when they are faced with an adversity that his teammates think they couldn't overcome but Goro changes this and gives them confidence to turn the tables. I like this anime also because it is not too far from reality unlike Prince of Tennis and Eyeshield 21 where the anime exaggerates the scenes too much which is so impossible to happen in the real world (well, that basically is what anime is for - to make the impossible possible! LOL).
          This is such a cool anime and I just want you to know that I finished watching 47 episodes from 11pm until 8pm the next day (with 3 hours of sleep and an extra hour of break in between that). I recommend this to everyone! I loved it! I've heard about this anime years ago and I am just so glad that I gave some time to watch and now - I couldn't stop! That's how I love it!
