Like in Loveless, for example, though I can't say I really liked that anime. Or perhaps like the Zampakuto Arc in Bleach.
Anime where there is a summoner and a summon, a sorcerer and a familiar, a living weapon and its wielder, in short, a pair of fighters who are somehow bound so they must act together in a fight. Thanks in advance!

PS Rozen Maiden already watched - forgot to add.

Soul Eater - pairs involving a living weapon and wielder

ac3y · 2010-06-03, 03:29

Fate/Stay Night

Shiroth · 2010-06-03, 03:35

Will second Soul Eater. It easily sums up what you're looking for in a show.

rooroobearr · 2010-06-03, 04:21

Sekirei but it's more on the fanservice side imo. Although second season coming this summer.

Kafriel · 2010-06-03, 05:00

Soul Eater, KIBA (to a lesser extent) and Shaman King, the most prominent example of this theme.

Haak · 2010-06-03, 10:40

Sounds o me like you're looking for a Living Weapon. Just scroll down for examples.

Thirding Soul Eater and seconding Shaman King

CeDeR · 2010-06-03, 17:20

Elemental Gelade if u dont mind the wielder in love with his weapon lol

SeijiSensei · 2010-06-03, 22:06

Though fighting isn't the central focus of Natsume Yuujinchou, there are occasions where Natsume and his familiar must confront demons.

Guardian Enzo · 2010-06-04, 09:53

It's a twist on what you're asking for, but D.N. Angel sort of fits.

Thank you! Forgot to add that I watched Fate/Stay Night already and enjoyed it a lot.

Black God (kurokami), i don't know for the anime but in the manga they fight in pairs.

Kleo Scanti · 2010-06-10, 07:19

Mai-HiME? However, weapons there are not humans.

libba · 2010-06-10, 18:46

Thanks for the new suggestions. I found I really like the "summoning" theme.

haiz123321 · 2010-06-11, 10:33

I second Elemental Gerade and maybe Zero No Tsukaima? Although the fighting for ZnT is towards the end of the series and they have very little fight scenes.

airstorm · 2010-06-11, 15:26

Two that spring to mind are:
Noir - Kirika and Mireille make a kick ass duo.
Gunslinger Girl - each girl has a handler and they always go into action together.

I thought about suggesting it too, so I'd say should give it a try.

Divini · 2010-06-11, 23:04

Don't know if you seen Nanoha, but that has plenty of characters with familiars that fight together.

Shakugan no Shana is also one with a fighter and a "spirit".

mukansa monkey · 2010-06-11, 23:42

Bit old school, the Vampire Hunter D movies. Main character has a familiar that lives in his hand, helps him out in fights, that sort of thing. Also delivers running sarcastic commentary, including what may be the best last line in a movie I've ever heard (at the end of Bloodlust).

If you like bugs, watch Mushi-uta. That one's a bit on the headscrew side though. I found it an interesting take on the concept of the summoned familiar.
