How did no one see the art change coming? Teh fok.


Soul Eater Not!'s manga has art style some-what similar to the original. Yet the art style for the anime..is some-how even more moe.

I just wanted to get a general opinion on this. So my friend and I were having a discussion about this show. Now I may have made it out to seem some-what worse than it was, but that doesn't change my main feelings behind this series. My friend states that this show is separate from Soul Eater.

I can understand that in a way, but when the show references other characters some-what like a crutch, it annoys me. It makes me ask the question, "How is this NOT..like the anime it so wants to be different from. Also, with what makes this not like the original Soul Eater, aren't even necessarily good points. The art style that made Soul Eater, itself is gone.

Also the characters aren't even that great you can find the same character personalities in other.."Moe-esque" show. I'm just a bit annoyed in a way that this show took up a slot for some other anime like a "Devil is a Part-Timer season 2." I guess I wouldn't have been as annoyed if the show wasn't didn't sell out it's art-style to the moe department. That's pretty much it. This is just my take on the anime, it's not out-right "Bad"..to me it's just bland and filled with fluff. To say the least, "Boring."


oh, so you're basically saying Moe art-style=notgoodshow

Oh my, this is so... CUTE!!!!
Maybe it remained me K-On! a little (Maybe it's because of the cuteness?), but still that anime brought me back a lot of memories, like Black Star, Maka, Kid (I hope he will talk during the next episodes and they will show Liz and Patty, such as in the opening...), and I noticed it's a prequel (You know, Sid-sensei...), and if it's a prequel, maybe we will see who is Maka's mother! :D


Say im late to the party or what ever but i just now finished all the K-On! episodes, and now that i think about it, Soul Eater NOT reminds me of it a lot too :P Also when i saw Liz and Patty in the OP i thought that we may be able to see more of them in the past when they were ruffing it up on the streets :3 also it looks as if Tsubaki got a CBBE Overhaul, my god.. lol
(To anybody who gets that reference kudos to you)

No, I'm saying it's a below average show at best, because of these reasons. It tries to separate itself from the original show, with it's "Not!" addon, yet it references characters from the original story. It blatantly has Soul Eater first, in an attempt to attract the fans of the previous show. Why would they want to do that, if they blatantly changed the art style that was most likely a positive point to the fans? To me it seems that the inclusion of these original characters are only to hold up the otherwise lack-luster new characters. The story itself is barely going to go anywhere from the looks of it.(I'm up to the current manga translated manga chapter.) It's like they just sold out to the, "Moe Moe" fan club because that's what sells. Also that's not to say I have a problem with every "Moe" show. I have no problem with shows like K-ON, and Tamako Market. At-least those are different, this is just a cheap cop-out in my view.

That nostalgic feeling of seeing all the Soul Eater characters.
Also I'm guessing this takes place before the main story since Medusa is still a nurse.

P.S. I want no Excalibur. Even if everyone on MAL wants him, I don't want to see Excalibur.

I second that.
Me too

Seems like a pretty fun series. It's way different from the original but it was expected, so I'm not disappointed ^^

Nice episode,good to see the old soul eater characters.The OP and art are good.I have read a few chapters from the manga and I know this is gonna be more slice of life than action.


I agree with you. The OP and the animation art are great. I have high expectations for the upcoming episodes.

At first I was disappointed that it wasn't like the main series at all; but the animation, jokes and MC's made up for it.

I'd still like a "FMA: Brotherhood"-like remake for the original Soul Eater though.

5/5

Soul Eater Not, skin changes at the old SE, both as regards the character design and as regards both scenarios, in which the story unfolds.
The work done by Bones is as always great, beautiful designs and good animations.
Prop Design is not bad, there was shown a lot more than had been done in the previous series.
characters are not bad, quite distinguishable from each other.
Plot yet to be framed, nice narration.
It will not be a masterpiece, but not boring for now.
For now, my final grade is 6/10!

Now with this new Character Design and Color Design, it seems that the characters have acquired what was missing before, or a 3D look; first appeared two-dimensional ...

I liked it, but I'm confused about one thing.

Was Medusa a nurse when Sid was human? Did I just miss something?

yes, in Soul eater, Mesdusa was the Nurse of the academy

Sid died in Soul eater too. Soul eater NOT precedes Soul eater.

The girls are cute, funny and Anya is badass. Whats not to like?
Besides we get to see cameo's from time to time, this should be fun.
Maka's new design makes me cringe a little bit though.
Was Black Star always that buffed?

Hopefully this will lead to a remake of the original.

This has nothing to do with the first ep. But in soul eater manga chapter 99 page 20 or 19, there is a pic of soul, Harudori, and that one bitch that went nuts in the market. I guess they were planning on making N.O.T. for a while. I just thought it was interesting to point out.

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

This the Soul Eater version of cute girls doing cute things so if you take the title and accept the "NOT" in it i guess you can have fun with this.

I liked it, is the kind of thing that brings a smile on the face after a hard day, and that cute little skirt on the main girl makes her even more adorable lol.

I didn't have any expectations for this show, it being a spinoff and all, and I'm glad it turns out to be a pleasant experience. The art is almost too cute, but I can live with it. Cuteness is plentiful, it's a kind of therapeutic show, staged in setting of SE and this makes it even more soothing by the contrast with original. There is still nice bit of action and it's welcome. The girls are cute and different and humor is nice. And overal, it's a good way to expand on original characters' story.

That was pretty fun I must say, quite like the current start. When I first heard about this side-story I had quite mixed feelings about it, but well it seems rather good from this first episode so let's see what this series will offer us!

The art style is so much different than Soul Eater.

Maka is so nice, leaving that pop at the top of the stairs for her. ^_^

Because America tastes weird.

Apparently this all happened before Soul Eater, since

Why the hell did they change the Show?!. I got through to the third episode and the threw a brick through my TV. This Soul Eater NOT series sucks noodles

Bring back the old characters and seriously cut the childish crap. Its now a lesbian musical show not an action comedy... Your new series is flopping annoying

It's actually NOT that bad ...
Interesting seeing how "regular" students start at the DWMA and have to train to get as far as Maka, Kid, Black Star have come.

I actually like the 2 male characters that came to observe the fight next to Sid, hopefully they're not just going to be side characters.

Not going to compare it to Soul Eater as it's apparent that it's trying to be more of a comedy / ecchi show, especially when it's having scenes with Tsugumi "accidentally" tripping and falling into the other girls bust - together with all the "cutesy" expressions etc.


The art style kinda threw me of when seeing the old group though, Black Star looked way older despite this taking place 1 year before the original show.

It's more like SOL CGDCT version of Soul Eater, not very flashy like Soul Eater, but I really love it.

Soul Eater NOT! A prequel of Soul Eater. Let's see how this show is like and the differences it holds...

The OP is well... Nothing special really, a nice, cheerful typical moe OP. I like it but it obviously can't stand against the 2 OPs from the original Soul Eater.
The same goes for the ED

One thing for sure is that Death City is way more bright and livelier than the more grim version in the original. Quite a nice different perspective.

The characters' art style has changed drastically!
Black Star is Black Star as usual, but here, he looks more mature, Sid is still alive and Evans is significantly shorter than Maka?! Maka is cuter here, a sparkle on her eye is all she needs.

The first impression, I already hate Anya's himedere kind of attitude. Though she's undeniably a potentially great meister as can be seen with how she wields Tsugumi, her attitude is just pissing me off. Especially how she turn rejected wanting to be her partner, but then still wanting to be one anyway.
This has turned into a (yuri love?) triangle, but not one that I like...

I guess it's wrong to think of this as a prequel to Soul Eater. This should be a sequel instead, because Kid is already in DWMA.

The only new character name I remembered was Meme.

Black*Star is the buffest 13(?) year old ever... Seriously wtf. Tsubaki also looked like she was 20, despite this being set a year before "Soul Eater".

Laying into the boob size jokes pretty hard... but that was in SE as well.

cute episode. with the way people talk about this series, i thought it was going to be completely awful. it was not even bad lol.

i thought it was an entirely different cast too, thought i saw kid in the beginning. was shocked when maka appeared...then black star, then tsubaki, then soul. and some others. it was great. the new cast looks cute too

not really a fan of the art style though, i know it's not supposed to be like the original series, but they look a little too cutesy here, especially tsubaki and soul haha

I like the OP. It sounds catchy!
It's cool to see cameos from the main cast of the main series. I still remember some of them.
The action looks nice! Anya is so hot when she fights! I wish I am her weapon instead.
The ED sounds nice too!
