New Obsession: Anime

More appropriately, renewed obsession. After nearly 2 years of having an on-and-off relationship, Japanese cartoons have pulled me back into their murky depths with characteristic drawings and ridiculous overreactions. Currently, I am more than halfway through Soul Eater, a pretty decent anime, but not nearly as good as Code Geass or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
The series revolves around 3 teams, each consisting of a weapon meister and a human weapon: Maka and Soul, Black Star and Tsubaki, Death the Kid with Patty and Liz. Together with other meisters and weapons, they attend a technical school run by the Shinigami (Death God) and try to turn their weapon into a "Death Scythe", which is the highest attainable title. To reach this goal, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch. In addition to gathering souls, the students protect Death City from powerful villains while becoming stronger as individuals.
The soundtrack is meh, the artwork is average. It has fillers now and then, but they're really funny, not like some that make doing chores look like fun.

What am I listening to: Black Paper Moon (Tommy Heavenly 6)
What am I thinking of: what anime should I watch next? SAO looks good...
What I should be doing: homework or something
What I want to do: finish this boring day already

  1. I'm starting to miss Anime too now... See, I did foretell the future, even if it's off by 20 minutes xD

    Did you watch the SAO opening or trailer? If you want to know what the anime is like, I recommend you soon do ^_^ Unless you'll just dive into it right away.

    1. I think I'll just watch it straight away, it's quite short and has high ratings, so it should be worth my while~
