Synopsis

Death City is home to the famous Death Weapon Meister Academy, a technical academy headed by the Shinigami—Lord Death himself. Its mission: to raise "Death Scythes" for the Shinigami to wield against the many evils of their fantastical world. These Death Scythes, however, are not made from physical weapons; rather, they are born from human hybrids who have the ability to transform their bodies into Demon Weapons, and only after they have consumed the souls of 99 evil beings and one witch's soul.

Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe who only seems to care about what's cool, aims to become a Death Scythe with the help of his straight-laced wielder, or meister, Maka Albarn. The contrasting duo work and study alongside the hot headed Black☆Star and his caring weapon Tsubaki, as well as the Shinigami's own son, Death the Kid, an obsessive-compulsive dual wielder of twin pistols Patty and Liz.

Soul Eater follows these students of Shibusen as they take on missions to collect souls and protect the city from the world's threats while working together under the snickering sun to become sounder in mind, body, and soul.

Soul Eater is a must-watch anime that stands out for its incredibly unique concept. Set in the captivating Death Weapon Meister Academy, where students wield transforming weapons to collect evil souls, the series unfolds with creativity and distinctiveness. The character designs are a visual feast, with each character, especially the weapons, boasting unique and striking visuals.

I'll start with what I liked about Soul Eater. The art direction is colorful and distinct and the character designs are memorable and interesting. The cool factor is most definitely there (especially when compared to some of its 2000's Shonen peers). And the dub is pretty great, something I rarely say. If you're looking for a laid back anime that you don't have to put too much effort into watching, just put on the dub while you multitask or have it on for background noise (I feel like it would be great at a house party on a TV in a corner on mute or ...

Soul Eater is a show that I had heard a lot about before starting, yet I had also heard nothing about it. What I knew was that it was a show where people become weapons, and that it was apparently really good. Hearing the show get showered with praise like that, I was shocked to see that it only had a 7.8 here. After watching...I can see why.

To be fair, the show starts with a bang. The first third of the show rivals the GOATs of anime. Whenever the characters weren't cracking jokes, they were beating each other up. I loved it.

But that's also its ...
