![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: 2008 Anime Preview - Spring Ah I knew the second anime was familiar. Then I found this: ゼロの使い魔〜双月の騎士〜 オフィシャルサイト キャラクター紹介/キュルケ I've seen pictures of her. Is this your typical anime, or is it really worth watching?

![]() | Re: 2008 Anime Preview - Spring The only one that seems to differ here is Soul Eater, which actually looks like it'd be pretty good. The only thing I'm worried about is the overuse of shinigami, because of its use in some other mainstream anime. ex. Bleach, Death Note, Zombie-Loan, etc.
