I guess you are.
I didn't read this manga but I will check the anime. I'm not a big fan of spin-offs.

They're animating this of all things? Some manga spin-offs should stay manga.

I didn't say I won't watch it, but if they intend to animate Soul Eater why the hell aren't they doing it with the original manga.

I think this is great news, I really enjoyed reading the manga. Too bad no scnalation group is working on it so we haven't seen a new chapter in like 1.5 years.

So I'm looking forward to this adaption.

A lot more effort/bigger budget would have to go into animating the rest of the original Soul Eater manga. Also didn't the end to Soul Eater manga not go over so well? I haven't read it myself so I'm not sure.

And at least the original main characters are in it too. Even though they are supporting characters and i haven't read the manga so i don't know how often they appear. But at least it's something T w T

I think people are forgetting that the anime is supposed to promote/advertise the Soul Eater Not! manga, how is remaking the Soul Eater anime going to promote the spin-off manga?

I will watch it, but I'm still patiently awaiting the day we say an announcement for a new Soul Eater anime with the original story. Not! could be good too.

I hope this anime can promote that possibility, but still kinda disappointing to see it's Not! that gets one instead.

The spin-off manga is alright but I never really considered it anime material. Well, perhaps I'll be surprised.

This is an extremely disapponting news. Instead of animating the rest of original soul eater (which got wrecked very bad by its crappy ending) they pick the soul eater NOT which is much inferior in terms of about everything ranging from characterizations and plot. Not to mention that soul eater NOT basically disregards lots of characters developments and interactions in favor of yuri shipping.

Recently done reading the Soul Eater Manga and found out that there's a lot of deviation in the SE's anime version in the last part. They should have remade the anime instead. And I've heard that Soul Eater Not's story is totally different from SE which is the reason why I did not read SEN anymore.. But I guess it is indeed better than nothing...

Going off the small portion I've read this is actually pretty enjoyable and like chibi-Alice said the original characters appear in it as well. The new characters are also quite nice and we get to see the the soul eater world from the perspective of a weapon.

It would've been nice if this was a remake of the original but I guess it's better than nothing for the fans. I'll pass on it though.

Eh, lets just hope that if this does well they may consider pulling a Brotherhood with Soul Eater and giving the anime fans closer with animating the full original story. Any Soul Eater I guess is better than no Soul Eater.

I've pretty much given up on a remake of Soul Eater at this point. The manga ended, so theres no real need to make a new anime to promote it. Plus, the first anime didn't sell all that well in Japan to begin with. It certainly didn't pull FMA numbers.

Soul Eater NOT is not completely a Spin-off series, its originally a prequel to the main series that focuses on different characters. But, as the two series continue their plots do interact with each other a bit.

In my opinion, Soul Eater has always been a mix of Naruto, Harry Potter, and Tim Burton. So if the main series focuses more on the Naruto side of the universe, then NOT is more on the Harry Potter side of the universe. It contains a lot of world building that didn't really happen in the main series due to the plot. NOT explains how people get accepted into the DWMA, and what their lives are like in a way that the main series never does.

Plus there is a villain introduced who has a connection to the main series as well.

^ This

I'm excited though. I read the manga online (can't purchase manga here...) and it's pretty decent.

It's more about DWMA and other stuff in the Soul Eater world. It's more slice of life, but later on there will be action.

I guess putting effort into something is to much trouble??? And I can't really say anything about the bigger budget, AoT killed me so I can see your point and I personally thought the ending of soul eater was perfect for the kind of manga that soul eater was.

Well, I'm up for it.
I thought the spin-off was a decent enough sequel to the original, so it should be fine.

Watching because I enjoy the Soul Eater universe in general.


Still holding on to the hopes that we'll get a Soul Eater: Brotherhood- Black☆Star (A.K.A the most fabulous character around) Edition remake.

@Wind_Sr,

Interesting to see both "adaption" and "adaptation" used in News Board. No need for consistency for the word used for anime adaptation/adaption ?
symbvNov 14, 2013 11:27 AM
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Guys, Soul Eater Not! is really awesome. It is a fun series that gives a lot of background on how Shibusen itself works. Also, it is down right hilarious, but also has the standard Soul Eater feel that we have all come to expect. I am hoping this does extremely well, which would increase the chances of a full anime adaptation of the manga.

Where have you seen adaption used before? This time I just had a typo. Was juggling typing a research paper and typing this news up so I'm surprised I didn't have more of them. Let me know if you've seen it before, but I think it was just this one time. Thanks for letting me know, surprised no one else mentioned it yet.
