There is a few lacking things in soul eater tho, the biggest i felt was artistic appeal. Some characters like Maka got really exceedingly plain or just ugly character designs while others like soul and black star are done fairly well given more details etc etc. The world art is interesting as it takes bizarre settings from its crazy sun and moon too the twisted forests and deserts.
The plot itself kinda drags on in a lot of places, its not a bad plot or anything it just slows at a point and it gets very boring. It also seems like the mission to get 100 souls takes a huge back seat to the rest of the show. I am glad that it was not the main point but it is a part of any synopsis i read when this show came out and i feel it unfairly describes it.
The shows more about stopping the revival of asura and not this mission to collect souls and become death scythes. When the characters actually start fighting i found it was black star who had the most interesting sequences of all. The other two characters have very plain and boring abilities while black star seems to always surprise everyone.
Anyway i give the show a 7 based on sound/character/enjoyment /art about a 5 for story tho, only part i felt lacked.
