SOUL EATER

Soul Eater is an anime from the genre of action, adventure and comedy. Soul Eater is set at Death Weapon Meister Academy located in the fictional Death City in Nevada,United States. The school is run by Shinigami, also known as Death, as a training facility for humans with the ability to transform into weapons, as well as the wielders of those weapons, called meisters. Attending this school are meister Maka Albarn and her scythe partner Soul Eater; ninja Black Star and his partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, who can turn into a variety of different weapons such as akusarigama, shuriken, and ninjatō; and Shinigami's son Death the Kid and his pistol partners Liz and Patty Thompson. The goal of the school's meister students is to have their weapons defeat and absorb the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch, which will dramatically increase the power of the given weapon and turn them into "death scythes", weapons capable of being used by Shinigami.

One aspect that attracts me to this anime is the concept that one's strength correspond to one's soul wavelength. Another fuel to one's strength is madness. A power that enable the meister to be immune to the pain of physical damage but a powerful madness will cause the person to lose itself at the same time, so this power is a double-edged sword. Another way to increase one's ability is to synchronize the wavelength between the meister and the weapon partner. Besides that, there is a lot of comedy involved in the anime. For several times, I laughed so hard until I had abdominal pain because of the funny scenes. If you're someone seeking laughter and action at the same time, I strongly recommend this anime.
