Artificial Continuum


Friday, October 9, 2009

Also new in the sunlight deprived world of anime, FUNimation posted a preview of the English Dub of Soul Eater, The hit manga by Atsushi Okubo and published by Square Enix, on Thursday, October 8th. The first few episodes will appear on DVD sometime in 2010. For anyone not familiar with the plot of this sensational series, to quote from FUNimation, it goes a little something like this:
"Maka is a Meister and Soul is her Weapon. As students at the Grim Reapers Death Weapon Meister Academy, their study habits couldnt be more different. But in battle against the supernatural forces of evil, theyre a freakin lethal team.Thats when Soul transforms literally into a razor-sharp scythe, and every defeated wicked soul he sucks down makes him more deadly. Thats when Maka unleashes the merciless slayer within, wielding her partner and dropping monsters. Seriously. Monsters. Like the witches, werewolves, and zombies that lurk in the shadows and feed on the souls of the innocent. Every freakish ghoul Maka and Soul take out strengthens their bond, and fighting alongside their fellow Meister/Weapon classmates, Maka and Soul are the worlds last line of defense against evil". From the preview they posted on youtube and the FUNimation site, the voice acting seems pretty solid including: Todd Haberkorn (Allen Walker-D.Grey Man, Hikaru Hitachiin-Ouran High School Host Club) as Death the Kid, Laura Bailey (Tohru Honda-Fruits Basket, Shin-Shin-Chan) as Maka, Micah Solusod as Soul, and many others. I would highly recommend picking it up, especially if your a fan of Full Metal Alchemist.
