Soul Eater is one of those anime that seemed like a must watch. So desipite the strange style of the show I watched it all the way through. And for the most part it was pretty good. However this show was not with out a number of flaws. Sadly most of those flaws showed up in the last few episodes which is the worst place to show up cause then that the last thing I remember. Near the end a lot of what I classify as deus ex macina moments occurred. Now this is not usual for anime nor any genre really for this to happen but there are better less obvious ways of going about them. Sadly this took away from what was already becoming a rushed ending and made that last few episodes pacing feel very off from rest of the series.
Besides this the overall story and characters are quite funny and interesting with the exception of Excalibur who I would like to murder.
Otherwise soul eater reminds me of those zany off the wall shows that anime is know for with a more serious plot to follow. Though I wouldn't strongly recommend the show I would recommend watching episode 4 before any anything else as that is were the plot really starts. If you like it. Watch prior episodes and continue on from there.
