Back to our topic, I want to start with the characters, as I think they are what can make a show really successful, while it can also make it suffer so badly.
As for Soul Eater, almost every single character was satisfying and their personalities were well crafted, be it villain characters or good guys. Well, there are of course characters I think that should be more featured in the show, but well, it is not that much necessary. Characters, in my opinion, is one of the strong points of the show, Soul Eater.
Next is the story. Everything started so slow and boring, to tell the truth I don't even remember the first a few episodes. But don't let it bother you, as the main events of the story starts to kick in, it will swallow you, and you will find yourself watching fifteen episodes without realizing. Because the story, with its turn points, great battles and conspiracies, from the moments characters doubt themselves, doubt what they work for, to the moments you scream "Oh come on you can do it" or "Oh my god, he is a total b#stard!!".
If you think the story is what makes an anime watchable, Soul Eater will make you watch itself. And don't worry, it has lots of action.
As for the art style of the anime, I can't say anything was special about it other than it being, well, unique? Soul Eater uses a different approach on visuals than many anime out there has, and even if I said nothing was special about the art style, I believe it is what makes the show what it is. In other words, the visuals fit the story, characters, and the whole show.
Story, art style, characters, I have covered them all. So what remains is OST, isn't it.
Soul Eater, to be clear, has a good sound track, which makes many scenes that would be blank without the itself a lot funnier and enjoyable. But if you ask me to point out a sound track that really impressed me, I won't be able to give you an answer. Frankly, there was nothing special with the music used in the whole anime, while the only sound track I really liked was the first opening theme of the show. Also I want to tell that I hated the ending themes, every single one of them. But this is a personal matter, so it might vary from person to person.
On the overall scale Soul Eater was a really good anime, it gave me a lot of enjoyment almost every single episode, except the first a few episodes and the episodes about the Holy Sword, Excalibur. There were, if I recall correctly, three episodes that featured Excalibur which I think was completely unnecessary, just made for the sole purpose of showing us what is that Excalibur, and prevent us from wondering what the hell is this character when he finally takes part the main plot. I believe there were better ways to feature him, rather than using plain filler-like episodes that just stand there for some comedy. I am okay with watching one episode completely devoted to an unrelated arc, like like two or three characters just wait there and talk nonsense, but doing this three times, it annoyed me really much that I even skipped most of the last Excalibur arc.
Putting that aside, Soul Eater is an anime that completely deserves the time you are going to spend watching it, if you are thinking whether should you watch it or not, watch it, you won't regret it.
Finally, I want to thank to everyone who took their time and read my review. I am most pleased if it was of use.
