Reviews

I'm writing this review in a WEIRD and roundabout way and will almost certainly change it at some point (when I've actually watched the series to the end) but still... I thought now would be a good time to just jot down some of my initial thoughts on what is my first ever anime series... Well actually I tell a lie, I did watch SOME anime as a kid, the likes of Pokémon and YuGiOh and their various spinoffs. (I was a nineties kid, that stuff was unavoidable!)
BUT I never watched them to completion, freeview tv being what it was (and still is) they never aired cartoons in any real semblance of order.

That being said I still really enjoyed the episodes that I did get to watch as a kid, and I had always been interested in finding more anime shows to watch. This never happened of course because of my shoestring budget and the pricy cost of DVD boxsets.

Anyway. So far soul eater is great. I'm enjoying the series immensely and I hope my level of enjoyment and immersion in the show will continue.
I don't really feel well versed enough in anime to comment on the visuals, the sound or the dubbing in any great detail and I'll leave commenting on characters till the end because I know there's still a crap tonne of character development left to come in the 30 something episodes that I still need to watch but for a first experience of anime, in its full, unadulterated and unabridged format Soul Eater is an immensely entertaining watch even if so far the story hasnt had time to fully establish itself. (Hence my 7 rating of the story)
