Soul Eater

I forgot where I saw this one, but either way I'm glad that I took my chances with it.

There is a particularly unique school known as Shibusen (or Meister-Weapon) Academy that trains a league of budding trainees who seek to become a weapon of Shinigami-sama. In order to fight the evil that threatens to engulf the world in madness, graduates known as Death Scythes and their Meister partners must acquire the proper skills to fight off the opposing forces at hand before an even greater evil resurfaces.

Of course such faculties requires countless experience and various tasks to prepare the younger generation for the future, particularly a certain group of (somewhat) misfit individuals.

A talented young girl named Maka Albarn and her weapon partner Soul are on the verge of becoming an official weapon of Shinigami-sama. She hopes to make Soul a Death Scythe that rivals even her father, so she is incredibly ambitious to be the best.

Of course she's not the only one who's set her heights for the top, and eventually finds herself in the company of an arrogant ninja named Black Star and his partner Tsubaki, as well as the son of Shinigami-sama Death the Kidd and his twin-pistol team Liz & Patty. Together they encounter some life-threatening battles, countless hilarious scenarios, and unsettling clues that drive them to more hazardous clashes that will test their will and partnerships to the limit as they strive to graduate before they're expelled.

A cross-breed of Halloween meets classical Disney-character designs (particularly the gloves, facial structure, and elongated limbs). Soul Eater has a good balance of comedy, suspense, action, and mystery that keeps you on your toes for the next segment. It's monthly unfortunately and the anime had ended quite abruptly too, but again it's a very good series to look over.
