Soul Eater NOT!
DawnJ said: It's not a moe SoL. It's a normal comedy action anime.Simply, no budget in this anime. Why? Because it's moe SoL. I'm not saying moe SoL is bad, but moe SoL takes less budget (unless it's Kyoani), obviously. And this one got even lesser budget. Also I cannot say overall execution is good too. |

| Well, one part of low score are Soul Eater fans that hated this show being moe comedy. Second part is that show itself couldn't stick to one genre, switching around to School, moe SoL, Action, Thriller, Drama, Shojo ai, Shounen, Comedy or fanservice of showing original characters from SE in different perspective. I'm myself from second part. That's too much of events for 12 episodes, and they are so rushed or cut, that most of it could have been just removed to free more space for detailed development of specific aspects of story. |
| I just finished it last night and for me just too much Moe and not enough action. I was expecting more and I was disappointed. |
 |
| Because people on MAL are haters and most of them probably newer even watched it just saw a cover pic and started hating that there is MOE in anime that originally didn't have MOE. Either that or they are hardcore action only fans who just want to see alot of fights and noting else and they complain that this wasn't only action all the way. For me it was better then original SE and not because of MOE but because I think story was better put together, it was more detaily explained, it was more serious, character had more development, graphic and art style are better, it even has some romance Shoujo-AI non the less and MOE as a bonus. |
The real world is past the virtual world is future. |
| The ending felt weak IMO. |
| It's a kind of people MAL has. I give this show an 8, since it was not meant to be perfect, but still is on par with normal anime and not only SE fans can watch it, NOT also has it's own content to expand on SE setting and has a bunch of everything, while not being overly extended, I enjoyed it ep by ep for what it was. But normally, SE fans only see differences from main series and rate NOT low. |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| I don't get it either. I enjoyed it really much. Of course it's worse than Soul Eater, but it's nowhere near this rating imo. *edit* I'd not even say, it's worse. Of course it's different, but I actually liked it nearly as much as I liked Soul Eater back then, this rating is just unfair. |

| Yeah, I really don't get why this anime is ranked so low. It's a good series and shows how the old characters met and such from the original series. Before watching this I thought it was going to be terrible and just be filled with moe shit, but that didn't happen. To my surprise it was actually good. |
  |
| Because it's NOT Soul Eater.... Yeah, I know...it's really stupid the way people think. People are upset that this anime is literally NOT the original Soul Eater. The incredible irony was not lost on Soul Eater fags. I personally liked it a lot. And I rated it based on this anime alone and NOT based on the original Soul Eater. Seriously....how fucking retarded are some people around here... |
| i wanted a continuation of the actual show...... I don't like how they just made this show that's just a lot of moe and there's no cool fighting scenes. it's just lame hahah |
   |
| I give 5/10 few minutes ago. While maybe I'm biased because I watch it long time ago, I can't remember much of this anime. To me, it just show how weak the anime is. If I rewatch this, maybe I'll give this more love. But my prediction, it 6 at best. I don't think I remember this one right, but I think I watch NOT first then SE because it has less episode. So my comparison is not really about I want it to be SE. |

| Maybe because some people was expecting something like Soul Eater, or, the continuation sequel. But it was NOT. Turned out it was a side story from alternative point of view with slice-of-life cgdct yuri-ish genre. For me it is good for its genre. (The OP is also catchy.) 8/10 |
| I would have given an 8/10 if the series had been kept as slice of life but I do not want the series to be mostly Tsugumi (70% at least it is) or to turn it into action and defeat a witch (it took a lot for EAT to do so that some newbies could do it with a training of 7 months) Dissapointed |
 |
| I don't get it why people tear this anime apart like garbage? 'Cause if it's not called Soul Eater NOT, it would probably wouldn't be such big of a deal. I mean even the title says it's NOT (the usual) SE. I mean, yeah, it's almost completely the opposite, but that doesn't mean it's bad? Also, I see people making remarks about the animation being bad... ? ._. It's so good and smooth? Also, the (art)style is different, and doesn't fit everyone's taste. Sure... but it's not like it's BAD? For me it is cute-ish and refreshing. And I will be honest, this anime doesn't completely lie within my (usual) taste of anime, but at least I will watch a couple eps, and then judge if I will drop it or not in case my interest loses or because of anything else. |
| It has something do with genre. |
 Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all Code Lyoko, be there when you call Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall Code Lyoko, stronger after all |
| Okay, so I just watched the first episode while keeping this thread in mind and... it's just bullshit. Even taken as a high school cute-girls-doing-cute-thing kind of show, it's just boring. The characters all grated on my nerves just for being trope-y, especially the stuck-up rich girl. I don't even dislike CGDCTs shows. K-ON! is amazing, but this isn't K-ON! It's Soul Eater, and here's the thing about Soul Eater.... If you're setting something in the Soul Eater universe and in Death City specifically, then I expect it to at least look like Death City and have an aesthetic that matches up. Otherwise, what was the point in making it Soul Eater in the first place? In my head, I'm automatically gonna see it as 'lesser'. Soul Eater NOT isn't bad because it's not Soul Eater. It's bad because it's lazy |
| It's a mediocre action/comedy that dips a toe into SoL. It's a forgettable show in a sea of many. 6 seems low by MAL standards, as MAL's 'average' as a whole tends to trend on the higher side of things, so I get that. The shows not garbage after all...but average , sums it up very well. |
| It isn't bad, it is just a pointless spin off. Couldn't get anymore pointless. |
