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.

My impression for this series was way different than how this series actually is, that is to say it isn't bad or anything. Just very different from what I had in mind being in the anime community and consuming the Shounen genre.
This review of mine is basically going to be a dissection of the anime because I wrote and kept updating it as I was watching it;

• Firstly, The initial 5-6 episodes are basically just introductory episodes to set up the world of Soul eater and the cast. The cast is vibrant, quirky and solid. No issues there, even the concept for Souls and the ...

Mixed Feelings
Dub is great, and has one of the best opening songs in anime IMO. Action is pretty good. The concept itself is Interesting, and the show opens strong and closes pretty good.

But holy moly is the middle of this show a snore fest.... Episodes 20ish to 40ish were so hard to keep watching, there wasn't anything major going on, and if it was, it was hard to get invested. The writing at times seems all over the place, and inconsistent throughout the show. Also, the opening is way too horny, the rest of the show isn't anywhere close to the levels of down bad ...

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 ...
