Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

ritonobono Having seen all 51 episodes I can safely say this anime was really bad. Now I'm a fan of silly anime with a good story (Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, One Piece). This anime had the silly part down, but it's story was lame.The series has several episodes that either drag out or just plain get nothing accomplished (I'm talking about the ones with Excalibur, ugh). The few that do try to blend humor with dark gritty storytelling (I bet they were thinking, hey it worked for One Piece, we'll do it here too) and it just doesn't fit. The characters are flat stereotypes: Maka is a typical loudmouth brainiac, Black Star's Naruto 2.0, and Death the Kid is the emo pretty boy. The weapons are all tropes and the villains are hammy knock offs of superior villains. The story is starts good, but wanders off into nonsense once the whole black blood bullcrap is introduced and it condescends into wannabe Disney idiocy.So if you haven't seen Soul Eater, don't bother. There are a butt ton of anime that far surpass this garbage.

Ben Davis 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

Deepak Puthraya Watch this anime if you have time!The story is about a group of students who are in a school called 'Shibushen' who try to maintain peace by suppress the evil activities of the witches and other evil beings.The anime was quite thrilling to watch. There were twists and jokes, which seemed too childish to start with but you get attached to them and start to enjoy it. 'Patty' one of the characters makes you smile every-time she shows up. Each character is obsessed with one thing or another. What I liked about this anime is that they kept it short and tried to stick to the story. There are a couple of fillers(one or two) but I shouldn't really call them that.To be more critical about the anime I would say its for teens. The animation is quite childish, The moon, the sun, the school to start with. There isn't much of detailing on every character which i think would give it a better feel. I loved the journey of 'Soul Eater', but the destination just disappointed me! Things happen all of a sudden at times, you take time to understand whats really going on.Many a times you will be like 'What the hell just happened?' I would say watch it if you have nothing else to go for, it might just do the trick to entertain you!I would give it 7.5/10

Oliver Thiele SOUL EATER is possibly one of the most original anime's I've ever seen! Not just in story telling but art design too! Most animes all have the exact same looking art style. Soul Eater on the other hand, goes for a almost punk looking art style that you'd find with GORILLAZ! This anime also (strangely enough) has a very Tim Burton feel to it (and I'm a HUGE fan of Tim Burton), a lot like The Nightmare Before Christmas! At the time of making this review I've only watched the first episode and am thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the series! Soul is a very cool character and the only gripe I found was: WHY DID THEY GIVE BLACK STAR A FEMALES VOICE?! AND IT'S SO OBVIOUS IT'S A FEMALE!But apart from that, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series!5/510/10
