SquareEnix announced Soul Eater: Monotone Princess for the Nintendo Wii. Of course by SquareEnix because the manga publisher GanGan is apart their company. The first and new Soul Eater game will be an action role playing game where the Wii remote controls your scythe. First images of the game are featured in Japan’s April Famitsu magazine. No release date set yet, sadly.

Episode one starts of with Shibusen, the school run by Shinigami prevent Kishin from returning and to take out the people who transform into an Egg of Kishin. Students come in pairs or trios where you normally have the master and the weapon. The weapon must eat 99 human souls and 1 witch soul to become a true Shinigami, the goal of the students who attend Shibusen. Wonderful animation for a shounen series, including good use of blur and good angles during action. The voice acting could be better, as Maka’s dad is pretty annoying. Especially when he’s crying or confidently laughing.
Soul Eater starts out much like the manga. The same foul human eating human souls is slayed. The same witch is a not a witch. Too bad you have to start over collecting souls if you mess up by eating one that isn’t a human or witch. Perhaps they’re taken away by the students to make sure only the best become a Death Scythe or Shinigami. One thing though, there is a scene where Soul is dressed up in front of a piano. Perhaps that’s when he first partnered with Maka. If you prefer your anime much like the manga, this will suit your needs if you’re already ten volumes deep into the manga. Otherwise, one or the other. Black Star will be the main attraction in episode two.

Free forum service and host Invisionfree is back to normal after having certain forums defaced and all domains redirected to another site. Invisionfree is what many anime fans use to create forum sites or forums for manga scanlation sites. Most large anime forums have that word filtered to prevent personal message advertising.
Kaiba, not the dead card game and ADV licensed anime KIBA. Kaiba has Masaaki Yuasa directing it, the director of Happy Machine and Kemonozume. Many Western local Asian television stations still air Chibi Maruko-chan, which he took part in the opening and ending animation. If you ask any fan,
most of them will descript his works as avant-garde. Unique and creative anime that may or may not work or appeal,
showing anime at its best when there is a plot that doen’t have to explain itself or
be in touch with reality in any way.
Kaiba will bring a world with memory manipulation, romance, and sci fi. Can someone still love without their momories? The anime is even means hippocampus, the part of the brain known for being involved with long term memory.
