With few exceptions, I'm not a guy who drools too much when it comes to supernatural action anime. As said, with few exceptions. Soul Eater got my special and divine attention when I heard that many of the staff members were actually ex-Fullmetal Alchemist workoholics, like Yoshiyuki Ito, who took care of the character design, or scriptwriter Akatsuki Yamatoya. Along, of course, with the full support provided by Square “give us more JPRGs” Enix.

This show, which apparently will start broadcasting in Japan on April the 7th, will air in two versions, with each episode being fed to the public Monday at 6.00 PM, followed shortly by a late night edition, where the already aired episodes will contain even more stuff. My bet is like this: censored version in the afternoon, pantsu version at night, when all the good little girls are either asleep, either being played with by serious lolicons.

About the anime, Soul Eater is based on Atsushi Ohkubo's manga, which was being published by Square Enix in Monthly Shonen Gangan, and tells the story of Maka, a (hopefully) hot and young chick, who is accompanied everywhere by her menacing partener, Soul Eater. Something to do with lots of ass kicking, probably.
