Like others said, Soul Eater is an incredible anime. Some may think it's corny (that's what my friend said) and I, myself, thought I won't enjoy the show when I accidentally catch my cousin watching it but when I started to watch from the first episode, I was blown away by its awesomeness. The action scenes were great but what mostly caught my attention/heart was the characters. I think the characters of Soul Eater are the ones that makes it special. I love how Soul Eater is Halloween-themed, the extraordinary designs (e.g. laughing sun, purple sky), the opening/closing theme songs as well as the character songs. Papermoon has got to be the best opening theme song. Anyway, I regret for saying I won't like this anime... it turns out it became my all time favorite. There were times I was laughing so hard while watching, crying like a baby (mostly because of Crona) and just simple amazed I couldn't speak. I like the humor in Soul Eater. There are times the story can be so dark but what I really admire in Soul Eater is that almost everything's in balance. When there are depressing moments, later I'll be laughing my ass out when watching. Soul Eater always excites me even though I probably watched it a lot of times. I'm not really sure why but it's probably because of the main characters. I adore them all along with Crona (who I think is a boy in the anime and girl in the manga). It's just too bad that it only 51 episodes and that it didn't follow the manga anymore somewhere around episode 37 (and I know why they did that). Soul Eater is the first anime/manga that I finished but the manga is still ongoing so I still read every month's update. In my opinion, the manga's story is way better than the anime (from episode 37+). But I can honestly say that the characters' looks were developed in the anime. Though that doesn't mean they look ugly in the manga. In fact, they also look cool in the manga especially when they're in their Spartoi uniforms (Okubo-sama really improved!). For me, Soul Eater is the best anime. It has a neat story and great characters. It would be nice if there are more episodes of it. It's really an interesting anime if anyone's into supernatural stuff, action, school life, friendship... now that I mentioned it, friendship and teamwork is such a big deal in it and that's another reason why I love it. When watching SE, there's actually moral lessons and I have grown to appreciate my friends more because of SE. Probably the only thing that saddens me is that Soul Eater lacks romance. I know romance is not one of its genders but we, fans, would all like to at least see Soul and Maka being lovey dovey for ones. Haha. But it's already obvious that they're a couple (in my eyes). I enjoyed Soul Eater and it made 2011 my favorite/best year since it's the year I watched/finished it. :)
