The SoulTaker (ソウルテイカー, also Soul Taker ~魂狩~) is an anime series that focuses on Kyosuke Date who was killed by his mother, and afterward gained the ability to turn into a monster known as The SoulTaker. The show was Tatsunoko's first attempt at a more adult (even by Japanese standards) series. It originally ran for 13 episodes.
It originally aired in America on TechTV as part of Anime Unleashed, and later aired on G4 after the TechTV merger.
There is a spinoff OVA featuring Komugi, Nurse Witch Komugi. It is somewhat similar to Pretty Sammy, but shares more in common with Puni Puni Poemi.
[edit] Plot
Kyosuke is seeking out his twin sister, Runa. Meanwhile he is being pursued by the strange mutant doctors and nurses of the hospital, led by his own father, as well as the evil Kirihara corporation who are also tracking down Runa for their own malevolent purposes.
Assisting him along the way are the mysterious Shiro Mibu and the strange mutant girl Komugi, who betrayed the hospital out of love for Kyosuke.
