If Tim Burton were to make an anime, the product would be Soul Eater. Watching the anime is reminiscent of the Saturday morning cartoons vibe. With an abundance of creepy Halloween themed matter scattered throughout the entire series and a healthy serving of dark humor, Soul Eater is an oddly addicting show. There is also an eclectic swath of music thrown into the show, some of which I found stuck in my head when I wasn't watching. And don't let the seemingly basic animation fool you. When it comes down to the fight scenes and overall scenery and character designs, studio BONES delivers as always. The "cartoony" style of the anime is deliberate and most enjoyable to behold if embraced. Although the story-line itself leaves a bit to be desired, it instead serves as a launch pad for artist creativity and allows the characters to carry the show.
