Very best movie i ever watch

Really Surprised!

Memorable, crazy movie

Excellent but underrated film

Well this show is pretty freaking amazing. Out of 51 episodes, I only disliked 5 of them. That's a pretty good ratio if you ask me. Soul Eater's enjoyment came from its rather humorous take on things and its characters, more so the characters. Most of them I really loved (not all of them), like Soul, Maka, Death the Kid, Crona, Medusa, and Lord Death. All of these characters are awesome in their own right. Soul, Maka, and Death the Kid I like because they're great at what they do, which is fighting. Lord Death I like because he can beat the crap out of anybody and still be absolutely hilarious at the same time. I liked Crona because the show made feel sympathetic towards the poor kid, which is easier said than done. Usually I would hate a character like Crona because they get my nerves, but they found a way for me to actually care about him. Lastly Medusa is awesome because I don't think I've ever wanted a villain to die so bad. She is more than just a bad guy who only exists to fight the protagonists. She's cunning, sly, sadistic, smart, utterly despicable, and a truly awesome villain. As I mentioned earlier, I didn't love every character. Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and Dr. Stein were all fine, they just really have anything special about them, at least not to me. The only character I flat out disliked was Black Star. His cockiness annoyed me to no end and I just wanted to punch him in the face. Other than him, pretty great characters all around. The plot is fairly engaging as well. (I'm not going super deep into this, so no spoilers.) It starts of with the 3 pairs (Soul and Maka, Black Star and Tsubaki, and Death the Kid and Liz and Patty) going on various missions for the DWMA in order for each pairs' weapon to become a Death Scythe. However, after Medusa releases the evil Kishin Asura, all our characters have to put all their efforts into stopping him. It's a fun, action packed story line, so no complaints there. That really concludes all the positives about this show, but there are some negatives. I've already mentioned Black Star, so no need to go through that again. I really did not like the first 3 episodes. Each one follows a different pair and they serve as an introductory to everyone. The problem is they overemphasize each characters idiosyncrasies. Soul wants to be the coolest, Black Star wants to be better than everyone, and Death the Kid is in love with symmetry. They bash you over the head with those qualities way too much in those episodes for them to be enjoyable. Thankfully, they toned down those characteristics later on. The other 2 episodes I didn't like were the ones that revolved around The Holy Sword Excalibur. All that takes place in these episodes is Excalibur talking about his past in an extremely annoying fashion. He's never important throughout the entire show! Why does he get 2 whole episodes to himself? Did Blair get her own episode? No! So why should he? Anyway those episodes felt very, very out of place and I hated them. Another thing I didn't like about this show was its' refusal to kill of anyone major. It isn't a huge problem and it doesn't really bother me that much, but it would have added some more emotion to the show. Lastly, I didn't like the ending. *SPOILERS* The way Maka killed Asura felt really cheap and stupid. All you needed to beat him was to be brave? Wasn't everyone who fought him brave? I would assume so. So why didn't they kill him? I don't know, but I would like to know. Even if ignore that, I wanted a huge epic battle. It wasn't really and I would have preferred it that way. It sounds like all these negatives make the show bad, but trust me they don't. All the positives crush the negatives, making this one of my favorite anime. 9/10

I love the concept behind this series - people who can turn into weapons who then link their souls to their wielders to create powerful warriors. As usual with anime, this 'magic' system plays a major role in the world setting. The story at times is a bit weird, as it juxtaposes great action and serious themes with moments of comedy and oddness. This causes the story to be a bit disjointed and takes focus away from the serious stuff going on (such as that episode with Excalibur telling random stories which made no sense and added nothing to the overall story arch). The characters all have their own unique personalities, even if they are a little exaggerated at times to the point of ridiculousness (Death the Kid, I'm looking at you). But apart from these flaws, the series is memorable and good fun.

My children ADORE this. It is a bit violent, but nothing that hasn't been in other movies (Transformers, Iron Man...) that are based on American comic books. As you can tell which character makes me both cringe and giggle, we'll jump right into the review!The anime focuses on 3 groups of students. We have Maka, the daughter of a particularly strong death scythe and Lord Death's weapon and the scythe's creator the meister. We have her weapon, Soul Eater (or just Soul). Soul is a atypical mouthy kid in typical anime style and reminds me of every thirteen year old I've met, including my own. The second pair is a Naruto clone character named Blackstar that believes he is the best meister in the world and #1, even when he's collected NO souls, and his poor abused weapon Tsubaki. She is an amazing if quiet character but we do get to see why and it's a nice descent into flashback and character development. The last is an OCD child of Lord Death (Death was married?) named aptly Kid Death. Because symmetry is a HUGE fanatical part of his brain, this Grim Reaper/meister must have two firearms named Liz and Patty Thompson. One reoccurring bit of humor is that the two firearms are sisters but not twins (he harps on the difference in breast size; logical for the directed audience of the show).All these people are students at Death Meister Academy (forgive me if I missed a word). Lord Death, Sid (a teacher), and later a rather intriguing teacher Stein all teach the "kids" how to work as a team harmonizing their souls to work in tandem.Enemies begin small, such as an amazing 2d character Blair that makes me laugh all the same, to dark and truly evil witches that want to destroy the word. As we progress through the series, it gets darker and looks hopeless--at one point I recall asking, how many episodes are left? They can't do this HERE in the season!--and yet, the kids don't give up.Comic relief is constant in the series, but then again what series doesn't have it? Even Alan (D-Greyman) had it. If it's not Blackstar's constant assurance that He's The Greatest, then it's Excalibur admonishing "Fool!" looking like a cross between a penguin, an umbrella, and an armadillo (as my daughter says he resembles the latter). Even a love affair with a toilet is thrown in mid-season. The moon and sun are being used as a typical design (Alan has the same moon).I highly recommend this series. It *is* dark, and I would watch it with younger children so they do understand concepts explored--or for the few hints of sexuality tossed in the mix (such as a pair of bikini underwear given improperly to a young lady!)--to make sure all remains well. It will remain a family favorite for a LONG time to come.D.

Im not a seasoned anime pro, i have seen like 3-4 series so far. Soul Eater is my latest discovery, and i must say I'm glad i found it.Usually a fan of refined, state-of-the-art-graphics stuff such as Ghost In The Shell, Soul Eaters style didn't catch me from the first second. But having decided to give it a try anyway, i found out that this complete graphical madness somehow has reason to it. It emphasizes (with arrows! :) ) only the most important, almost childishly drawing out the obvious. Which is actually quite original, plus you get surprised a lot by the changing style.Story is deep enough and has just enough background to tie the episodes together, yet always having a new twist. As childish as it is, it doesn't really feel like meant for kids - reminding me Harry Potter for that matter. Maybe its just me, but i found some other similarities with Harry Potter stories there..All in all, Soul Eater is a series worth watching for every anime fan for its original style.
