TSUNAIDA TAMASHII HIRO KIGA. MUE NO SASU KARAAAAA
After playing the first opening song multiple times, I decided, why not rewatch this amazing series. Then I thought, what if I reviewed it, to possibly get people into it? So I decided to get off of my xbox, get off of Netflix, and write this review.....
(jk I'm watching it right now XD)
So the story is about a group of several teenagers who are aiming to become a death scythe. Well, there are weapons, people who can turn into weapons, and meisters, people who can resonate with the soul of weapons and control them. After collecting 99 kishin souls, and after that, a witch soul, the weapon ecomes a death scythe. Sounds typical, right? Well, as the show goes on, it becomes less about becoming a death scythe, and more about connecting together. Just, one major issue is......the ending. It was seriously probably the worst way an anime has ever ended imo. Yes, even worse than fma conquerer of shamballa. Well, moving on...
The art is very unique, especially the character designs. They are all so different...whether its souls sharp teeth and white hair, makas plain green eyes, or blackstars blue hair, each character gets to stand out. Also I love the art style. Again, its very different. Bones has always been pretty experimental when it comes to art and animation, and this time, it was gr8. Also, the animation is fluid and very good, especially in the action scenes.
Sound speaking, the soundtrack was very memorable and well done. The opening themes are awesome! In fact, op 1 has to be one of my favorite openings ever. The ending themes were great too. But the voice acting (ENG DUB) was outstanding. Each voice perfectly fits each character.
This show truly shines with its characters. Bones has always put a lot of their effort into making their characters feel alive and stand out, and in soul eater, it has some of the most memorable characters iv seen in an anime. Whether its the varied and unique designs, the voice acing, or just their personalities, they are very likeable. Crona has some of the best development iv ever seen. So, why am I not giving the character category a full 10?
You already know why
You know who I'm talking about....
EXCALIBUR YOU SON OF A
Anyway, I had an absolute blast watching soul eater. It has become one of my personal favorites. However, its not a show most will enjoy immediately. It starts out ok, then gets good, then it gets rlly good, then gr8, and then....
you get hooked XD
well I honestly didn't get hooked to the series until like episode 6 or 7, but it was worth the wait, because once it gets good, it gets gooooooooood...
Well, itsa bout time for a verdict
Story: 9
Art: 10
Animation: 9
Sound: 9
Voice Acting: 10
Characters: 9.5
Enjoyment: 10
Overall: 9.50
My Score: 9.50 (well would ya look at dat!)
On the positive side:
The story is developed very well
The characters all have distinct personalities and stand out. And they all develop
The art style is AWESOME
The animation is fluid
Plenty of enjoyment to be found
The voice acting is top notch
On the negative side:
The first few episodes are mediocre
The ending sucked
I want to firkin kill Excalibur (HE WASTED 3 PRECIOUS EPISODES THAT COULDVE BEEN USED TO GIVE THIS SHOW A BETTER ENDING. BUT NOO, EXCALIBUR HAD TO SCREW IT UP. WELL SCREW YOU, EXCALIBUR!!!!)
Even with Excalibur, even if the ending sucked, even if the first few eps aren't gr8, can that stop me from loving this amazing show? No, not at all
Now I just gotta watch soul eater NOT!......
