W.O.W.

As I had expected.. Amazing quality... and lotsa action! sasuga BONES! ♡ lol
I think the art style was pretty unique.

but somehow Maka's voice sounded a bit weird... hmm

Anyone else seen it yet?

Awesome opening. As from the trailer I liked the art. The voice actors really do work but I still don't like Maka's for some reason. I'll get over it in time.

Great opening and beautifull translation from manga to anime. Animation is stunning and fluid. Watching such anime in HD is a treat =)

I hope Maka's VA improves quickly... anyway animation was great, op was awesome (needed more Medusa!!) and the music was fine. Blair = <3 and Maka's dad is a laugh. I'll be curious to see the differences between this and the uncut version and I'm looking forward to Blackstar making his debut next week :) Death the Kidd is going to be awesome in week 3 as welll!

Well, if I'm going to be honest I was a bit disapointed. The animation is not awesome in all aspects. Surely the backgrounds are but I think they exaggerated in the lack of detail character wise, and there were also a few shots were they seemed like sheets of paper.
Other than that the adaptation was quite nice, the comedy scenes were pretty good especially the ones with Deathscythe and Shinigami-sama. As for the actions scenes, there were good but I've seen better this season with Nabari.
I'm looking forward to see how they're going to handle the presentations of Black Star and Kidd.

Awesome start as expected, Maka's voice isn't that bad, i thought it was decent enough. The OP song alright, I enjoyed the ending more though.

I am a bit discontent with Black Star's VA since its the same person for Naruto, I hope I'll enjoy it this time around unlike Naruto.

I think you're mistaken. Black Star is voiced by someone different. Kobayashi Yumiko, to be exact.

Maka's VA does need some improvement, but i don't think it's that bad.

funn, i actually thought that that unpolished voice fits perfectly maka's looks and personality ^^" and it's different from the normal girl voice you usually hear in anime.

I didn't mind Maka's voice, what annoyed me is that her acting was very amateurish, to the point where it made Macross Frontier's Megumi Nakajima (Lanca Lee) look like a veteran in comparison. And Megumi Nakajima was rough!

I expect her to improve, I just hope it's quick because she is the main character along with Soul, at least we won't hear her again until episode 4.

I loved it. It has its ups and downs but is generally enjoyable. I wasn't hoping for the series to be 51 episodes, but if it stays good I'll keep watching it.

T_T i love it, never though i'll see Soul Eater animated and even less Bones doing it.
I don't liked some things, but the overall it's still a 5/5 for me.

Awesome animation as expected from BONES, great OP and ED and some interesting VA choices (especially Maka's seiyuu). I'm looking forward the seeing the other two weaponry pairs! I hope the animation quality remains high for the entire 51 ep series.

Very pleased with this series, so far. Animation is awesome, especially the fight scenes. Loving Maka-chan, I don't think her seiyuu is all that bad...

And the OP is made of win. Watched 15+ times, so far.

Animation was really good, and the story was decent, but not really anything special. Amazing opening as well (TM Revolution always does a good job), but I didn't like any of the voice acting other than Maka's. A lot of it felt a bit out of place to me.

I'll keep following it just because it's nice to have a solid action series that looks good. If the story picks up a bit this could end up being an amazing show, but either way it looks like it'll at least be decent.

the animation and colors were great @_@ and maka's voice sounds familiar but when i checked, it's her va's debut? @_@ nice. i had to rewatch to check why some of you guys didn't like her acting but yeah, i don't notice those tiny details when watching for the first time etc...yup she does have some bad parts but then as a whole i think she fits the character perfectly(as of now. havent read the manga yet)

really loved it! but im a sucker for cute girls with big weapons :p

OP was great, ED too. The animation gave me a bit ofa cartoonesk feeling for the few minutes but i got used to it really fast, wouldnt have it any other way now! Donno why people complain about the voice acting, imho they where good and maka's fits the personalety in my ears. her father really cracked me up btw :D

Anyway defenatly a series ill keep watching! hope they keep this qualety up for 51 eps so this might end up in my top10 :p

I quite like the animation - bones did a great job
and this anime is quite promising at least as a supernatural comedy.
OP and ED are also quite nice.
Definitely something I'll follow a while longer.

Yeah it's like animated for kids, ok the animation is neat but that's only if you don't mind having no details..

I dropped it after a few minutes... And I didn't really like the voice acting either.. Didn't bother to know the plot so..

On another note, I'm sure Maya's voice actor will get better with time.

I really liked it, I wasn't expecting much because when I started the manga it didn’t caught my attention… it has now! I did like the voice actors especially Soul (I was expecting someone more childish) and I particularly liked nosebleed sound xD Also the music was really good except for the ending :D

nah I just like that.
when you want something realistic you can watch a movie but this serie really has many things wich can be achieved with animation only and puts this in front like the total non realistic animation.
