3X3 Eyes is the story of a young man named Yakumo Fuuji, who through a strange series of events becomes the immortal slave of the last of a race of 3 Eyed immortals. The immortal absorbs his soul to save his life, making him immortal in the process. Now, he begins a journey with the female immortal in an attempt to find a way of becoming human. Of course, there are many complications along the way, not the least of which being that the immortal is a female with a split personality, one achingly cute and the other being no-nonsense destructive power, and the romances that develop between.
Can I just say that as a 90's baby, this is so amazing to me. I remember watching it the first time and not understanding it but I still loved it. And I kept rewatching to understand until of course I got my hands on the manga. Then it hit me how complex this story and anime is, it's not everyones taste and I dont expect it to be but for it is.
because its only 4 OVAS and not enough story was processed within the limit of the episodes it only covers 2 volumes. People may be disappointed by it, but fear not if you didnt like the anime its up to the their own choice. For me who is a big fan of this show cant express what it did for me, I really enjoyed the OVAS it had the feeling of the 90's in it the animation to the music what not.
For me It was a story of complete 180 turnaround, Yakumo who through a strang process ends up immortal due to a eccentric and very strong girl called Pai who by the way is so cute. I think its adorable the way the two main interacted, Yakumo in the end gave up alot in order to help Pai become human and himself too. Lets just say it was heartwarming adventure they make a lot of enemies and friends along the way and there is so much tragic in the actual story that its blinding.
The manga deciphers this show so well that I can't express how much I want people to read it, you will not regret it. It explains in full on how and what Yakumo and Pai's relationship is in total its a like a whole new world. (no not like aladdin and jasmine) but even more amazing they are like starbound together that it hurts. Its a long process of a journey they fall against the story is so well developed to me that its missing so much in the animation.
The OST is a must to get I think its so well thought out of course, its a typical old style based music. Along with the art which is old fashioned but it works so well with the colour palette too.
So if anything you must read the manga to understand completely what the show is about! Do not rely on OVAS to complete this, its frustrating to me how people dont understand, for me its a show with a quick insight of the actual story that develops in the manga. So if you havent read it you must do so. I dont want to go so much into detail about it because it ruins it but I will tell you the monsters look strange and there are some real strange appearances too of things in the story. Its a mixture of a lot of sweet, dangerous and evil lots of evil its such an indulgence into a really good manga.
I shall leave with some songs

Sypnosis ~
Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to make the latter a "Death Scythe" which is the highest title for a weapon and thus fit for use by the Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.
The story starts off with Maka and Black star and Death the kidd. Three main meisters who help the shinigami world. This is probably the most unique story I've ever seen and read. The Manga does so much more justice than the Anime.There is a deeper story within Soul Eater and it grows in each episode and Manga. Let me just say how I generally felt when I saw that the Manga had ended for me that was a turning point. It was sad, it ended with a good note but I've waited so long for more, I enjoyed the development of the Manga to the point where I couldn't stop reading. The Manga explained things in more details and showed things more than the Anime.
But the Manga ended now, its' been a long time I remember reading it the first time and I fell in love with it. Now that it ended I feel like a era had ended. A piece of me will always love and remember Soul Eater i wanted so much more with this show I wish it continued. The downfall of the show was not showing Maka's mother I mean not even a glimpse we could have seen who the other holder was. I wont give too much away but if I were you I would totally read it. Its a great manga with a lot of action and individual moments, like Black star and Tsubaki moments, along with Patty and Liz and Kidd moments. It was sweet, the best relationship I enjoyed like everyone else was Soul and Maka of course but the side characters kind of blew me away in the Manga. They were just as important as the main thats what i loved about Soul Eater it was a all rounder. Its a shame it's ended though I would have hoped more would come like most shounen but it's good it ended on a good note rather than dragging.
The Characters are all vibrant and very much interesting with different unique styles Black star is probably the most strongest and cutest character alive, along with Death the Kidd and his symmetrical views. I'm totally in love with the Grim reaper he was hands down the best. The Animation is different which as a Illustrator I love I think its pretty cool the way the creator did the art and so forth. Its all strange and amazing the scenery are interesting and I love the fact that the moon and sun are so weird looking. The songs are so memorable and the plot line extends to a point where you have to love it.
overall, Soul Eater is underrated with some people yes the Anime didnt do that much justice to the Manga but in one set its probably awesome still. I love that there was no fillers and that it kept up the consistency of the show itself. The Manga was the same of course but in depth, I loved how the side characters were huge in the Manga and Anime it was lovely to see lovable side characters. I loved watching it I thought it was better than most Anime how side characters dont get much showtime. I also know there is a Soul Eater Not! coming out soon, Anime the Manga is of course on going but no worries it will soon fall into place. There are different characters but I heard Maka will make an entrance and etc. I hope so anyway.
So give it a go if you havent watched or read it, I shall leave you with some songs ~

synopsis:
Haruyuki "Haru" Arita is a short, fat boy who is constantly bullied at the Umesato Junior High School which results in him having exceptionally low self-esteem. To escape the torment of real life, he logs onto the school's Local Network where he plays squash by himself and always gets the highest scores. One day, he checks the squash rankings to find his high score beaten by Kuroyukihime, the popular and attractive female Student Council Vice-President, who invites him to lunch the next day after she saved him from some bullies. Here Kuroyukihime introduces Haruyuki to Brain Burst, a secret program that is able to accelerate the human cognitive process to the point at which time appears to stop.
Ok, so here I am with another 2012 list of Anime, and I am glad to write about this. As my first impression of Accel World was of the character itself! Can you believe it? I mean for once it wasnt the typical good looking guy and so forth, it was a meek and timid guy called Haru who got my attention in this. To think his own appearance is what attracted me the most, and the Animation itself was one to look forward to.
The Anime itself was a fast paced and very informative show, that I really enjoyed. To be exact it's one of the fews that had me gripped, it was a fair battled amongst everyone and that as a battle it was determined who will win and not. The back story of all the characters were fresh and seen perfectly in tune with the series there was no plot holes. Everything was literally there in a silver platter, and i was really enjoying it. The music was amazing to the point where I cried with happiness. It was well tuned with the whole emotive presence of the characters themselves.
Of course with bullying comes the basis for Accel World which is overcoming painful experiences, making Haruyuki the perfect candidate for the protagonist of the series being labeled the school's biggest loser. The entire show is centered around a game program called Brain Burst, which is built on both the strengths and weaknesses of the human mind. Thus when introduced to the program by the lovely Kuroyukihime, our protagonist is given a means of coping with his lackluster life. Like many who are not terribly successful in the real world, Haruyuki clearly excels in the fantasy worlds, and it was Kuroyukihime's recognition of this fact that led her to him in the first place.
This show is the basis of Haru, overcoming his self pitiable appearance and actually having goals. He has in mind to overcome difficulties with the help of friends of course Kuroyukihime too. Who also becomes the biggest pillar of his support and affection. It seems the second part of the show shows that his ability and confidence takes on a 180 degrees turn and you can tell that he has become stronger. It's a place where he knows he can be himself and overcome anything.
overall, people might not like this but I am sure alot I know have truly enjoyed it. It's a show where the character design was impeccable and the music too. It's something I will probably watch again when I feel like it. Its fast paced and has the emotions with it engraved. I really enjoyed this show and its a show that people should watch. Give it a go you never know what you might love about it. Of course my minor problem was of Chiyuri and Taku, I didnt really like them they seemed to hold Haru back so much and he realized it. But the other two failed at that, they felt pity instead of giving him confidence and of course until later where Chiyuri became a bit more annoying. But you know minus all that I thought Haru learnt a lot of friendship, abilities and confidence grown all around all because of one pretty lady. Gotta love that butterfly loving chick, she herself is infatuated with Haru an thats a bigger bonus to the show, meaning appearance didnt meant jack all in this show for me.
I shall leave you with some songs ~
