Note this is my first review so I may end up being unprofessional. I wil also not bring up anything manga related it'll be a separate discussion for another time.
I for one love Soul Eater it has alot of things I love and think this has a charm. I today will state my thoughts. And if you you don't like them don't complain.
Story- I consider it a weak point (for the anime only) because when compared to the points it look kind of lame. Not saying it is but it's my opinion. I think the story is great. I like how it dose take the
...
approach of battle that some other shonens dont. They actually lose. This helps them think why and develop. I think that's smart. Also I noticed in other reviews some have said that the concept is dropped and is unprofessional. To a degree I can understand but the only reason it was dropped was because the manga was still going on at the time. Only complaint I have was a few pacing problems but there not bad to make you irritated so that's good.
Characters- Where do I begin with this cast? I love almost all of the cast. How about the main seven.
Maka- I for one love her , I think she is one the most strongest females in anime. She is also one of the most likeable and relatable characters I have seen. She is also smart, hardworking , and cares for Soul. I can't help but love her.
Soul- He may seem like a generic trying to be cool guy but one of the things he does is care for Maka and his other friends. He will do anything to protect Maka, even get in arguments with her about her safety. And he willing to help Maka's dream come true. And what he has to go through and be affected it amazing. He's great overall.
BlackStar- I think Black Star is at times overhated. To be fair he is a bit annoying but I don't hate him. I really can't help but like his personality. And the way he cares for Tsubaki and csn back up his claims dose help him. Also why do people compare him to Naruto? Black Star and Naruto have some differences like how Black Star dose train hard and Naruto at times dosent. (at least fron what I remember and do correct me if Im wrong) But overall I think he's good.
Tsubaki- She really was great too. She always try to find the good in people and wants Black Star to succeed. I also cried alot during her back story. She is just great overall.
Death the Kid- Hate to say this but he is overrated. Im not saying he isn't funny or cool. I do think he's good. But he can go overboard and just makes me ask at times why. Still though at the end of the day its just symmetry so he's not worth all the hype. But he's still good.
Patty- She makes me smile and laugh alot. I really can't help but laugh at her jokes. She was nice as comic relief.
Liz- I hate her. She is whiny ,complains to Kid when he saved them both , and is at times a bitch. She has a few good qualities but she still is a snob.
Most of the side characters and antagonists all range from ok for a few and great for most minus Excalibur who is annoying as hell.
Animation + art- Its strong from Bones. I think Bones is the strongest when it comes to animation and Soul Eater is no exception. Its all smooth and amazing looking on Blue Ray. No complaints here. As for art, its amazing and one of my favorite styles
Soundtrack + VA
Soul Eater has a great soundtrack I love the mixture of genres and is catchy especially the first opening Resonance. There are a few tracks that are annoying but its still worth a listen. The VA for the dub is good. I don't think its Funimations best but its still nice.
Overrall I love it, Im glad its great and its enjoyable. Sure a few annoying characters and crappy ending but I still love it. It gets an 8 in the score but its still in my top five.
