Coming out in 2008.04.07 [07 Apr 2008] Soul Eater [ ソウルイーター ] written by Atsushi Okubo is a manga to anime adaptation. A rough translation over at Japanator tells that the main characters are “Weapon Masters” part of a “Shinigami School” they work with Human weapons that transform into “Death Scythes” so that they can perform their work. The story and premise are really interesting, although the character designs and weapons seems a little familiar to other action anime, I really want to catch this anime after CLANNAD and that kid with the sharp teeth is really interesting. I am sure toy makers will make some figures out of this anime as well.
Around around 2:55 the blue haired character says Tenjou Tenge? Not sure if it is referencing to the anime Tenjou Tenge.

the blue haired guy is Black Star. He pretty much has a massive ego. More like he was refering to himself lol.

I like the style in which it is drawn - much used in anime movies like Bleach and for the older fans, maybe a little bit like Akira and Elfen Lied? Maybe not but… I’ll watch this to see how good the development is.
I sense alot of Japanese lingo jokes are gonna be thrown around this show as well, for those who do not have your Nihon-go up to pace, gear up to watch this with some translator next to you!
