Comment: Thanks to my friend, I was really hooked to watch this anime. At first, I was actually having a doubt about this anime because this anime didn't catch my attention when I saw this anime in a magazine. Somehow, when I watch the first episode, I was so drawn to Maka then I realize this anime is damn cool. Set aside my reason why I love this anime a lot because some of you might say I like this anime for the wrong reason. Storyline-wise, this anime has a proper introduction what is the relationship between the weapon meister and the human weapon, why and how they can obtain those 99 evil human souls and 1 witch soul. It stated clearly so if you don't read the manga you'll understand the main point instantly. I'm not really sure about the manga but in anime, the story progress is considerably fast compared to some of the anime that I know because it already goes to the main story in the first few episodes. Not just that, the character introduction is nicely done too making this anime a whole lot interesting. But sometimes, the anime will have some mischellaneous stuff so it might make you confuse with the previous storyline. This is basically not the typical shinigami anime like Bleach so perhaps you should give this anime a try if you don't fancy the shinigami stories. This anime is a comedy anime besides full of action so it's a definitely worth watching it.
