Title: The Soultaker

Genre: Horror

Creator: Tatsunoko Pro

Company: Geneon

DVD Info: 13 episodes, 4 DVD's

Summary: A boy named Kyosuke Date discovers that he is a mutant and decides to use his powers to protect "flickers"--people with imperfect souls--from the evil Kirihara Hospital. He is able to transform into a demonic-looking being that can fly and fire electrical projectiles.

The Good: The series is very action-packed.

The Bad: The plot needed some real slowdown. Terrible animation with too many scenes where only one color is used.

Offensive Material: Many of the characters are called "flickers", or imperfect souls. Some strong violence and mild language.

Overall: This cartoon's okay. It's got great action and a decent plot, but I've seen better.

Note: Tatsunoko pro also created Speed Racer and the Macross saga (which we know as Robotech). Many of the same characters in The Soultaker also appear in a cartoon called Nurse Witch Komugi-chan.
