Preliminary (49/51 eps)
Soul Eater to me cones off as a show with a lot of potential but fails to do anything memorable with it.

Story: 5
For the most part i feel indifferent to Soul Eaters story with its continual setups and failed executions it ends up as being another point where the show falls off. The story is split into two halves with the first half in my opinion being the better of the two. The first half of the show takes a less serious more playful tone, I'm glad to say that the humor of this show is one thing it does right. I found it to be one of thefew shows I've seen in recent memory to really make me laugh. The first halfs episodic style also serves to develop the cast. The second, Looney half of this show is disastrous suffering from extreme tonal inconsistencies leaving the show feel like nothing is at stake. The story is rushed, convoluted and makes no sense and the end of this show is just so unsatisfying, it really pulls this show down.

Art: 9
This shows art is absolutely amazing, the character designs are striking distinct work and forthe most part there isn't a character who's design in this show i dislike. The aesthetics overall are very interesting and unique. Studio bones one again does an outstanding job with the animation it feels fluid and alive with every fight scene leaning new on the edge of my bed.

Sound: N/A
The sound in this show unfortunately want something i really pushed attention to so can't give much of an opinion on it but on voice acting i personally preferred the dub of this show finding the subbed version to be annoying and finding somr chatacters such as black star to be intolerable.

Character: 8
Despite the show having seven different main characters they all for the most part have something likable about them, with black star and tsubaki being the most stand out for me. Black Star's confidence in himslef though at the start can seem obnoxious becomes a funny and endearing character trait. Tsubaki on the other hand stays dull and boring and serves to drag out their character arcs. These seven characters despite being likeable are hit or miss for the most part. Tge chargers having their own unique traits means that you'll most likely find at least one person you like but with so many of them there is never really a chance to fully develop them or time to grow fully attached to a specific character.

Enjoyment: 7
Despite its many flaws, soul eater is still relatively enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters and the humor still make this show a somewhat good watch, and a fun show to watch around Halloween time.

Overall 7/10
