I raised my arms and cheered when Black Star and Tsubaki appeared. Quite a change from the original but I think I will really enjoy this show, just in a different way to how I enjoyed the original.

Damn, the yuri is already strong in this one xD
Dat boobies hug :3

Those two were too much acting like jerk, it was almost unnatural :P

It was cute. Maybe the plot was a bit lacking, but it's only beginning so I can't judge too fast. Also, I didn't saw the original serie so I will probably miss a lot of reference.

The concept is pretty cool. Seemed a bit unfair to have a sharp katana versus a flat halberd xD

It is actually not too bad and I see that the original cast is still present :)
I do dislike the new character designs but it isn't too much of a problem for me..

A triangle was formed on the first day at DWMA.

It was so refreshing to see Maka, Soul, Kid, and Black Star. I hope to see them more throughout this series.

Great episode!!!

Just watched this, and even though I've never been really interested in moe-moe anime like this, I actually enjoyed this. It was so nostalgic seeing Maka and the rest. Maka has been my favorite character so it was awesome to see her again.

I agree with whomever said Soul looks high. He totally does. And lol at Tsubaki, she has bigger boobs than the last time.

Black Star though.

beeh, somewhat disappointed. It felt like a poorly written ecchi fanfiction haha
Black Star is the best though, happy that he's still the same and drawn relatively alike to his old appearance. I'll keep watching to episode 3 but after that, eeeh i dunno about all that pandering

Ga... Gagantous!

Oh my goodness, the art surely has changed. Maka is kawaii as hell! Oh my god. It was so good seeing the old cast being here... Black Star looking more manly... and Tsubaki is highly moe-fied.

Liking Anya so far, Meme can go away for me. It looks like this won't be as action heavy as the original, but still can't wait to see battles.

I thought this would be really bad.. first off putting those red marks on their knees and cheeks is a sign of a shit anime (imo) so my expectations hit rock bottom after that. Was actually not bad, of course tsubaki's tits are beyond ridiculous now but w/e. I just hope the fights are good.

Well I've been waiting for a new Soul Eater thingie for quite a while.

I have to say that I am NOT disappointed, I loved the first episode of this new series.

The three main characters all seem to have very interesting an unique personaliteies and I am sure we are going too see some strong character develompment in the future episodes. The three of them seem to be very different from each other and I cant wait too see how they are going to team up.
I loved that most of the main characters of the original Soul Eater appeared. Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki and of course Kid. I hope to see more action from them in the future, we only saw that they are still in Shibusen. I loved the part of the show Maka and Soul made for the newcomers.
The art is great, as I expected. I cant wait to see how one weapon teams up with two meisters, thats gonna be interesting.
In overall, I loved the first episode and I'll be looking forward to the new episodes. Hope I wont get disappointed later on, still dont know the plot and main villains.
5/5 for this one :)

Awesome start. This is gonna be great. A lot of cameos and very likeable protagonists. Humour is great as well. There will probably be a lot sol and 1 or 2 story arcs later down the line, kinda like Railgun. And I'm totally fine with that.

Top 5 contender for this season.

then its easy to say the bad-ass original soul eater series is not what am looking for here in this series, its a complete different series and genre, i figured out people who don't originally like and not watching the original series would like this moe thing...LAME -_-” “and why is that fun even its a complete different series coz its about Moe, Ecchi , funny and girls fight.” -_-”

Damn Harudori's got one hell of a HUGE forehead. Episode was exactly what I was suspecting. Soul and Death the Kid look alright but I prefer the original looks for the girls thus far. Black★Star looks even more awesome though.

everything in bold was in the first soul eater. >.> btw, learn what moe is.

i'm glad so many people are liking this show though.

I personally find all 3 main girls very interesting. i thought i would dislike the tsudere rich girl (Y'know how how rich girls are done in anime) But luckily, this is the kind of rich girl i can like :D

Though i feel as though there should be a 4th girl brought in for meme to use. not only because Rich girl+Halberd makes sense, but it really would be a problem for a meister to have to give up their weapon during battle.

Oh...this is just an anime about junior high school girls, but very cute.

I think the peculiarities of Soul Eater anime are the following:
1. Very unique art style
2. Stylish battle action
3. Good and a little dark plot
4. Strange voices of Maka's VA
5. Question form titles of each episodes
6. Sid is a dead person
7. Excalibur

Soul Eater Not! has nothing above except Maka's voice. I was dissapointed a little. But I decided to think it is a completely different work. In this way, I enjoyed it well in such view.

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

lol

Exalibur is the funniest character!!! why not have him??

plus we didnt get to see liz or patty :c and Kid didnt even get a line.
i want the original characters to be atleast some what apart of this anime.

right excalibur is so funny

the designs are different a little they are thinner but other than that its all good didnt know the main char from soul eater are going to be here too

Great first episode

But why is this labelled Ecchi? I didn't see anything close to that.

I take it that the manga is Ecchi and/or it gets Ecchi later on.

He ain't a junkie but he drools a lot, haha.

I'm terribly gomen, but I need to say NOT to this Soul Eater. Really doesn't feel like the parent story and the only saving grace were Maka and company (and even their designs were butchered royally). But if it does good and warrants Soul Eater: Brotherhood, they I will muster some love for this series. For now - nope.

I'm conflicted about this show...

I love soul eater but I seriously hate yuri moeblobs, they did the same thing with index to railgun, the fate series to magical girl ilya etc.

I watched the first episode and this show is pretty much otaku catering at it's finest..
it's kinda funny how people say that the characters are unique/original when the yuri trio are all super cliche and follow every moe trope possible.

honestly, it maka and souls little cameos felt super forced and weird. But it seems like the soul eater series is just pandering to the moe market like index and railgun.

This hurt my heart to watch.
It's saddening that the creators would go so low as to sell out a good series for some moe dollars.
The only slight (paper thin) positive that the show had was showing off characters from the original series, who themselves felt incredibly forced and off, not at all like their original appearances.
Even for the moe spinoff it's trying to be it is seriously bad.

man, I felt the same way 100%. They soldout to make a souleater:K-ON edition, with uncomfortably forced cameos and moe tropes up the ass.

No matter how much I love the original soul eater this is just a sh*t stain in comparison. I always knew that moeblobs were slowly killing the anime industry but I never would've expected it to kill the good ones with moe spin offs while the otaku just seem to eat this moe yuri garbage up.

I guess all of you are Excalibur himself. I understand Excalibur is everywhere.
I remember he was singing in unrelated TV commercials between the first half and the second half.
It was a nightmare itself.

+1

soul eater brotherhood is a necessity and the only reason this show is watchable is for your favorite soul eater character to make a guest appearance once in a while

I went "OMG It's her!!!!!" when Maka first appears holding Tsugumi's luggage, and then Soul appears in the class with Maka, I was like "OMG It's Soul!!!!!", then comes the Bones' animation, I am not disappointed. Black Star, Death the Kid, and Tsubaki also appeared. :) I know the main trio will be the main characters, but I hope the Soul Eater characters appear more.

Yuri triangle at the end already, I like this "yuri" much more than Akuma Riddle's.

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

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."
