There’s another character who comes up with his weapon whom I like (not for his insanity, but his funny weird moments) named Dr. Franken Stein whose weapon was Maka’s dad, now the Grim Reaper’s weapon since they were able to collect the 99 souls + 1 witch soul. (the manga-ka likes to play off of names of well known fictional characters or real people)

As seen in volume 2, they still work quite well together and I think are a competent duo. (despite what, uh, Stein may have done to him during their time working together as students. Go read it to find out if you haven’t already ;))

I think the speech was just for the three prologue stories because it doesn’t appear in episode 4. And those prologues serve as introductions to the characters anyway so to me it made sense to do the “This is ShiniblabhblahGakuenblahblah, otherwise known as SHIBUSEN–Here is our mission statement. Enjoy” for those.

The series gets better as it progresses I find.

It took me forever to get to ch3 just because chapter 0 was insanely long. And I even skipped bklack star and tsubaki’s prologue because it was beginning to be a drag.

Yeah pretty much except he wants more attention. Makka and Soul are basically the most compatible but the most incompatible partner actually is Black Star and Soul XD.

BlackStar is pretty powerful - he actually possesses all the assassin/ninja skills and has the unique attack that does not require a weapon. His problem is that his weakness completely negates his talent. He’s one of those “I’m only good when I’m serious” archetypes, this plays off ironically when the storyline becomes serious business.

John> Yea seems so I mean when he gets down to business he pretty much kicks serious ass but otherwise he’s a dork lol. But what about blackstar? I mean he seems to suck no matter what xD

It seems like their weaknesses are proportionally as debiiltating as their strengths. Without a doubt, Kid’s the most powerful of the three but he’s also got the most debilitating weakness. Maka is probably the weakest in terms of talent of the three, at least at first, but she has no crippling weakness.

Kona> For some reason the voices don’t really bother me much.
