WHY have I not watched this show since now? WOW! What an amazing ride this was. Finally a show that could keep my attention compared to the oh-so-many bad shows out there (and I'm not the type with a short attention span). But let me tell you WHY this show is awesome. Soul Eater has it all: comedy, hints of romance, drama, fighting, worldbuilding, intellectual themes, darkness, and uplifting moments, and it executes all these elements gracefully, being careful not to overdo any of them.

Story: 10 - It's a boatload of fun. Soul Eater doesn't take itself too seriously but still comes across as serious.

Art: 10 - The art is reminiscent of FLCL with the upturned noses. Really gives off a unique sense of style. Really enjoy how there's no overuse of eye glimmer.

Sound: 9 - Absolutely loved the intro/outro songs, especially "paper moon". Soundtrack isn't that impressive, but 9 overall because of the OP/ED songs. Oh and Maka's voice actor is awesome. She just has a super cute, semi-nasal voice and it fits very well.

Character: 10 - Great characters. Every design and personality feels unique and not in a cliché way. There's Black Star which is basically Naruto, Kid, Maka, and Soul Eater. I've come to really like all of them, for their flaws and little quirks. The villains are also unique looking. Even minor characters like Law are just fun to see. If I could I would give the characters 20/10 that's how good they are.

Enjoyment: 10 - Binged it all in a couple of days. That's increasingly rare for me. There's a LOT of fighting in this anime and it may feel overwhelming, but the drama ensures that we also get some excellent character development.

Overall: 10 - What can I say, I thorougly enjoyed this anime. If you like Naruto/DBZ/One Piece then you may like this too. If you hate battle shounens then stay away from this.
