Hmmm... They both have main characters that have to fight against monsters... For example, Bleach with Hollows and Soul Eater with their 'demons'. Anyway, their plot are somewhat similar. It's about their main characters fighting for peace and things like that....
Simular setting as soul eater: Shinigami fighting monsters who feed of human souls. Comedy, action and romance elements are also present in both series. The animation style is different though, soul eater has cartoonesk elements while bleach has a more common animation style
The way the demon eat human soul... n hunter hunt them down... dam similar with Soul Eater ~
Soul Eater revolves around, thus far, three students and their respective weapons used to take out "seeds of Kishin" or wayward human souls. The first protagonist, Maka, wields a scythe name Soul Eater. She is the daughter of the current Death Scythe (the weapon used by Shinigami aka Death). The second is Black Star, a ninja, and his weapon of choice it Tsubaki, who can transform into various ninja weapons. The third student is Death the Kid, Shinigami's son, who wields Patricia and Elizabeth, a pair of guns.
The seeds, are very similar to Hollow. Bleach and Soul Eater also have the same uniqe weapon for everybody and shinigami theme!
Both series involve spirits and people who hunter them. They both also are light-hearted at moments and serious the next
It's Like Bleach On Crack!!
Shinigamis, weapons and demons ^^
They both deal with shinigami, spirits, fighting, and they both have transforming dealing with swords. In Bleach, their katana have powers and in Soul Eater, the swords are people that can make their body a weapon.
Besides being another action heavy series, Soul Eater also deals with safe caretaking of souls. The meisters are similar to the soul reapers in that they have a relatioship or partnership with their weapon, though their relationship isn't nearly as vague as the ones between reapers and their weapons.
Soul Eater is an anime about weapon meisters and their weapons. Meisters weild and control the weapon, while the weapon is a person all in itself. Weapons are actually beings that can transform into the weapon, and they collect the evil souls that the meisters gain from killing the evil spirits in the world.
Soul Eater centers around 3 meisters and their weapons in Death City, which the Grim Reaper (Shinigami) is the head of. He started a school to train meisters and weapons to keep the world safe from evil spirit and any demon gods.
If you're a fan of Bleach you will enjoy the action and setting of this anime.
Both has a lot of action packed fights and deal with spirits and shinigamis.
Its almost the same concept!
Both talk about shinigami and their war against the hell soul
Their are souls and the monsters in both eat those souls of humans. The chars have weapons which are also alive. Then through understanding with your weapon they get stronger. Their are shinigamis in both shows too.
Great character cast, nice battle scenes with cool animation!
- Sword Fights
- Dealing with eating souls and using them for weapons
In both Bleach and Soul Eater, super-powered students learn from even more powerful masters. The emphasis on unique weapons is also a similarity, as well as the two major themes of action and comedy.
FYI, I watch Bleach in dubs, but I obviously watched Soul Eater in subs. I don't know if this matters to anyone who sticks to one or the other.
Shinigami,very funny dialogs,what else is needed <3
Both anime is of the fighting genre. In n both Soul Eater and Bleach shinigami (death gods) fight against demons. In both anime the weapons of the shinigami are 'alive' and form a part of the master.

They both have some what unique and abstract fight scenes.
Although one piece character design improves overtime
so if you start watching one piece I would say watch one of the
latest episodes first so you know what to look forward to XD
- big comedy , power ful ..
Both of these series can be very serious and very funny at times. They give off similar vibes about never giving up and how important friendship is.
similar comedy and can be serious in some episodes but not in others.
The same kind of quirky humour for both, the same kind of brilliantly simple yet very well done animation. Both have unique characters, which combine to make a cleverly-thought-out storyline which is told in a similar fashion. Both great watches
Comedy comes first for those who enjoy their laughs before anything else like me. Similar style of presentation with a lot of similarities. Soul eater looks like a simple comedy at first but like one piece drama and action can get pretty intense at times.
I recommend One Piece as I would recommend the Dragon Ball Series. That is I would say it is a great beginner's anime. It has funny stuff all the way through its long number of episodes. It then begins to evolve somewhere in the 100's episodes and becomes fantastic with even better story lines and great battles. The emotion starts pouring out and I love it. I say Soul Eater is the crisper more serious version with a funny edge and One piece is the more funny with action edge. Both are great.
The comedy is very similar.
And both anime have intense fight scenes, great music, brilliant humour and sad moments...just in the right places.
I for one love both :D
Both anime have a really really great story, and unique characters.. Special fight scenes in both anime, and always a 'funny' side.
Awesome char design (even if the style is different) for both series.
One Piece and Soul Eater have both the friendship priority for their story.
Those 2 anime are the best i ever found :3
Both very good and very apelative
Both are fighting shounens with a lot of comedy, much surrealism, non-sense powers and crazy attacks, like gomu gomu rocket, death cannon, etc.

Another hunter hunt demon anime ~
hunt soul and both have the same styles.
Both stories involved the theme, supernatural and good vs bad. In D.Gray-Man, the exocists are fighting against the akuma, noahs and earl who wanted to bring the world to an end. While in Soul Eater, the meisters and their weapons are fighting against the demon god, witches and humans who have turn evil.
They both deal with fighting off bad soul's to protect the good ones. While one has more of an emphasis on souls itself. Humor in both is very similair.
Liek D.Gray-Man, Soul Eater has people who have supernatural "weapons" that they are compatible with. Defeating evil beings is their duty. The weapons can "level up" like the Innocence contained in the exorcists'.
Good organization versus evil organization, lots of characters with various weapons. Soul Eater is however much more lighthearted than D.Gray-Man.
Both about an organization of people with spiritual abilities that are supposed to destroy evil spirits
These two anime have a similar feeling.
It's sorta dark and it's full of comedy and action. If you like D.Gray-man then you will enjoy Soul Eater too. :]
They are similar because they both have teams that attack demons for innocents but in soul eater there after souls
I really recomend to peeps who have watch soul eater to watch d-gray-man!!
They are really similar in how the anime ends. They both have supernatural powers and trys to fight off a same enemy which reborns or takes a long time/hard time to defeat.

Similar frenetic art pacing and flashy combat. TTGL does everything Soul Eater does but better and with a little more adult flair to the story.
Both have the same sleek animation XD...
This is similar in style of action and comedy... if you want thrill seeking action scenes with brutal detail of the fights wath this anime and it's outstanding comedy and plot... Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann will captivate your anime attention much like Soul Eater with great characters and almos unlimited action...
Not onle the graphics are similar from one another, but also the action packed plot in addition the the comedy to each one. In other words, a good plot, good action, good graphics, and comedy in every episode.
Both are action-packed shounen series with similar art.
Nobody seems to have mentioned the fact that the soundtracks are done by the same composer - Iwasaki Taku
Similar animation. Great OST, action with comedy!
If you like Gurren Lagann, you will probably like Soul Eater because they have similar drawing styles, similar hardcore soundtracks and they just are both plain awesome!
Similar style of "over-the-top" action and comedy. The characters in both are unique and very likable. Both have great animation and soundtracks.
They are both perfect shounen and shounen parody shows at the same time

Soul Eater is more like a Naruto-ripoff from BONES, except...why would anyone ripoff from Naruto....?
They both have a light-hearted (and sometimes perverted) sense of humor, same style of drawing, same style of characters.
Both typical action-oriented shounen titles. Plus, Black Star is the splitting image of Naruto!
Both have the same shounen-ness to them and they both deal with characters searching for power
If you see black star and naruto you will find similiar clumsy character.Because they both have the same idiotic that alway's rushing into thing's without thinking first.they also have strong will & dream.That why i recomended this serial because they both funny,and if you like naruto series i confident that You also like this series.Please Enjoyed!
it has that kind of feel you get when you watch naruto. and plus its a great masterpiece.and it has a lot of action.
The art style for Soul Eater actually is rather similar to Naruto's in the fact that it uses rather thick lines and bright, solid colours. Even the tone of the anime is similar, adding light-hearted and funny moments in-between epic action. Soul Eater injects a bit more humour than Naruto, but they both do a good job of relieving tension with humour at the right moments. Both anime focus on building up the quirky characters (which are very lovable and memorable) as they progress further into their world and as they get into more fights. Both stories are essentially following the main characters getting stronger and maturing as they strive towards their ultimate goal.

It's apparent once both get into their theories concerning souls. Both have a great deal of focus on how two souls of completely different people work in unison to achieve common goals. Not to mention, both are funny as hell.
Both have merged souls into weapons and such.
In both there is fights. Both are shonen. Both have souls involved in the story. Both have similar main characters.
weapon meisters with their human-like-weapons and shamans with their ghost partners,easily transformated into weapon have much in common
They talk about souls and try to aqquire more power to their own reasons.
|
|
|
Both of these animes are pretty similar, they have partners that change into weapons. Also it seems that the weapons and person controlling the weapon seems to develop a love interest with each other.
The transformation of human to weopon ~ its like the transformation in Soul Eater ~
Male and Female fighting and people changing into weapons :D
Similar concept with human weapons and the main relationship's respect for one another.

Both Anime's have very thorough animation. Both feature wacky and developed characters.
Both have kick@$$ sound.
Both feature unconventional styles, fast pacing, and humor through exaggeration, as well as an abundance of hard rock music. Both also induce the same kind of "drug trip" sensation.
Any excuse to recommend FLCL, honestly though if you were impressed with the high pacing of the animation in Soul Eater and you thought the humor worked you owe it to check out FLCL. The stories are about completely different things but what Soul Eater did fairly well FLCL perfects in terms of animation, music and humor.

both have quirky similar random humour (which is at excellent quality) and has simiar strange atmosphere to it, where it (in soul eater) is in a different gothic world whilst kuroshitsuji is normal life with many dark supernatural aspects (which also seem quite gothic). lots of action, some drama, lots of humour and great general anime :D
While hardly related these two seem to appeal to people who like a good mix of action, drama and comedy. Kuroshitsuji is based in England in the 19th century while Soul Eater is in another world all together, but both have fantasy elements that verge on the dark side (for Kuroshitsuji it's demons and for Soul Eater it's witches and black blood). Last but not least they both have great casts of likeable characters and both series feature beautiful animation in their own respective styles.
Ditto on the previous 2 recommendations. If you like one you should give the other a try.

Amazing fight scenes, nothing in common with story, but the flow sorta felt the same, and the Maka is alot like the heroine for World Destruction
I't's both not fighting all the time and they are both funny, Soul Eater even more than World Distruction
|
|
|
Both series have often creepy atmosphere, good and well developed characters, good mix of humour and drama (tough SE is a bit more centered at humour while Pandora is a bit more centered at drama), girls with Scythes, cool-headed male leads, interesting monsters, insane villains and are great at storytelling (in different style and with different topics, tough)... and there are even more similarities. If you have watched one of these shows, it is highly recommended to watch the other as well!
In Pandora Hearts, the people have "Chains" which would be like the "weapons in Soul Eater. They both have comedy and still can maintain in the main story line.
|
|
|
Both series share great character design and have a similar sort of humor.
Soul Eater and Basquash both have a loveable cast of characters, similiar art styles, and fastpaced action.
Basquash seems to be aimed at a little more mature audience.
Also
Dan = Black Star

Since this anime is similar (i.e. being produced by bones and in the same manga publishing).
I found Soul Eater to have the same atmosphere as FMA. There are some episodes that are hilarious, and some that are just creepy. There's great character development in both of these along with epic fighting. The first few episodes are the intro, and then the story takes off afterwords. The art work is amazing (at least in HD) It's dark, comic, 3d, 2d in a 3d environment, and colorful. I'd say the main difference is that Soul Eater isn't as depressing. Both of them are great series to watch.

The drawing style isnt that different, and it also takes a non-serious approach for the protagonist to accomplish their jobs. In both cases, it also involves non-stop fighting between the lead female and males and also has a no brainer loud mouth as one of the main characters and other crazy, wacky supporting aspects.
Nobody seems to have mentioned the fact that the soundtracks are done by the same composer - Iwasaki Taku

Both animes deal with a servant - master relationship and both are filled with references to historical figures , though Soul Eater is a bit more comic .
The both center around a master servent relationship. Both have references to famous people throughout history. The each have comedy involved. The are also both great shows.

Soul Eater is much longer and will probably reach its intended end (or at least I should hope so) while Zombie Loan was cut short and is uncertain, but Zombie Loan has some of the same elements such as a team working toward a goal to fight evil through supernatural weapons and powers, though in Zombie Loan it is to pay back a loan and in Soul Eater it is to become a Death Scythe. Both shows have shinigami and dark themes. The style of Zombie Loan is more typical of anime while Soul Eater has a Nightmare Before Christmas atmosphere with its bloody grinning moon and comical gothic designs. I would suggest Zombie Loan for the inconvenient times when a week is just too long between Soul Eater episodes :)

Characters have similar attributes (note, I'm only comparing the two main ones)
...and the action / comedy is of equal value. This series isn't long enough to moan about either, give it a shot.
|
|
|
Beside Soul Eater being Dark & Negima being happy both deal with the idea of having main fighter & support fighter in a quest of greater power or abilities both are different(mostly main characters) but have the similarity of combat style of the mage/technician & weapon/partner humor is little similar but main similarity is both Technician/mage is looking to surpass there father in power.
|
|
|
Also deals with the idea of 'human weapons' and competing factions who are not always as they appear. Both have humour on the side as well.
|
|
|
Violence with a comedic element.

WELL, it is obviously going to take some explaining on my part for this:
Genre-defyers. Does that make much sense?
AzuDai: When you hear "school life", or "slice of life", what do you think? Boring, typical old shoujo-y episodes of girls fawning over boys that never notice them and "schooltime antics" ensuing? Well, if you've ever seen AzuDai, you will know it stretches the "schoolife"/"slice of life" definitions to a breaking point, most with types of humour ranging from dark humour to outright crack. Simply put it is very unique.
Soul Eater: YEAH, IT'S A SHOUNEN. But not with overly long story arcs, characters constanlty trying to overpower each other battle after battle...and a "will to fight" (insanity) that for once, is not overused. Again, I stress unique-ness.
Therefore, I make this reccomendation not for similar storylines or characters, but for those out there who have either enjoyed AzuDai or Soul Eater and again, wants something that hasn't been done twenty times over.

The art style and atmosphere are generally similar.
|
|
|
Both of them including very good action and advanture. nI both of the series the main characters are in pairs, when someone is the "master" how telling the other one what to do or fighting with the other one, while the other is attacking or turning into a weapon.
Both of them really recommended and I gave to both of them 9+ (10 to SoulEater XD)

Tweeny Witches (Mahou Shoujo Tai) is a bit more stylistic than Soul Eater, and with quite a more wild story telling pattern. But what's really striking similar between the two shows, besides dealing with the topic of witches, is the art design. Especially evident in the backgrounds and the ways the cities are drawn.
Honestly, this recommendation is more because of the art than the stories or characters. If you're a huge fan of straight up action shounen and not more wild storystelling, you might want to pass.
|
|
|
Both anime deals with characters taking on trials and tasks trying to complete an objective. In HunterxHunter the characters are trying to pass the Hunter exam and in Soul Eater the characters are trying to become a Deathscythe.
|
|
|
Both have a similar brand of frantic, kinetic action and reveal in a certain level of absurdity and humor.
|
|
|
You'll probably like Toaru Majutsu no Index, if you liked Soul Eater and the other way round.
The plot may not be similiar, but they have similar flawless graphics style, cool and funny characters. (Index sort of reminds me of Patty Thompson at some points =D)
Also action and humour packed.
|
|
|
Same producers, same beautifulness.
|
|
|
It has the similar comedy/action feel to it, there are times when you don't realize the seriousness of the situation due to comedy situations.
|
|
|
Both have ecchi moments ( though Rosario has a LOT more O__O; ) and both deal with paranormal beings ( ex. vampires, shinigami, etc. )
|
|
|
Soul Eater uses a similar style of humour to Ouran, and this is due to the same staff from both series being part of the team working on Soul Eater. Both series are by Studio Bones.
|
|
|
Both anime have great action sequences with a lot of comical humor built in.
|
|
|
A much more R-rated version of the insane action and deep conflicts you expect from any shounen.
|
|
|
Both have a creepy gothic atmosphere (although Soul Eater stresses it more) dealing with monsters or evil souls. On the surface they don't seem very alike but if you liked one you might enjoy the other too.
