I loved this anime. It knows when to be funny, but can become pretty serious fast. It has a unique plot, and doesn't copy anyone. The art style is also very unique and good. I have recommended this to friends who have loved it. However, as I said in the description, it may leave you with the wrong impression if you watch episode one only. Episode one does not properly show what the anime is like, as right away you are greeted by Blair singing about how sexy she is in a bathtub. However, bubbles do cover certain parts of her to hide anything explicit. She continues to act provocatively throughout this episode and the whole series. So if that's not your thing, maybe this isn't the best anime for you, or you should consider skipping the first episode as it isn't essential to the plot and is just used to introduce the two main characters, Maka and Soul. Moving on, this anime has very good characters that all develop well and play their role. The ending wasn't the best, but it is still very much worth a binge-watch. Other than Blair, there is also a bit more nudity, as when the female weapons are shown in weapon form, they are naked, but are rarely shown further down than the shoulders. Again, if you are uncomfortable with nudity, maybe not the best for you. But most people can see past that, and see how great this anime is. So go watch it now. Also, MAKA X CRONA FOREVER!!!!

Having seen all 51 episodes I can safely say this anime was really bad. Now I'm a fan of silly anime with a good story (Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, One Piece). This anime had the silly part down, but it's story was lame.The series has several episodes that either drag out or just plain get nothing accomplished (I'm talking about the ones with Excalibur, ugh). The few that do try to blend humor with dark gritty storytelling (I bet they were thinking, hey it worked for One Piece, we'll do it here too) and it just doesn't fit. The characters are flat stereotypes: Maka is a typical loudmouth brainiac, Black Star's Naruto 2.0, and Death the Kid is the emo pretty boy. The weapons are all tropes and the villains are hammy knock offs of superior villains. The story is starts good, but wanders off into nonsense once the whole black blood bullcrap is introduced and it condescends into wannabe Disney idiocy.So if you haven't seen Soul Eater, don't bother. There are a butt ton of anime that far surpass this garbage.

I really have to say, this anime changed me. I love Soul Eater from the bottom of my heart, every character every episode, it doesn't matter. The characters, oh, the characters! Even if you are one of those people who don't like the plot (I can't believe I've actually met these kinds of people) EVERYONE will find a character they can relate to. They are so diverse, and magnificently developed. Other than the characters, the show is a riot. There is a joke for everyone in this! Some of the chapters are so eccentric, you can't help but smile when they grace your screen. Even the most serious of characters are humorous at times. I laugh every time I watch it.Crona. Crona is the best character in anything I've ever watched in my entire life. I sometimes think that I care more about that black blooded child than I do for anyone around me. She has really touched my heart. In the last couple years I tended to be sad and lonely and even a bit devoid of hope. This character, a CHARACTER understood my feelings more than even I think I did. She made me feel better. She has made me optimistic about the future. No one in the real world has ever helped me the way she has. It's not even just Crona. I can see myself in almost every character. They light up my world. Whenever I'm feeling down, I grab some ice cream and watch Soul Eater. It truly brings joy to my heart. There are plot twists and heart warming moments throughout the whole thing. Each episode will have you on your toes with how it ends. The art style is absolutely wicked. The action is great and each character has their own way of fighting. Overall I just love it. I really do. I think that maybe this show can change other people's lives too.

SOUL EATER is possibly one of the most original anime's I've ever seen! Not just in story telling but art design too! Most animes all have the exact same looking art style. Soul Eater on the other hand, goes for a almost punk looking art style that you'd find with GORILLAZ! This anime also (strangely enough) has a very Tim Burton feel to it (and I'm a HUGE fan of Tim Burton), a lot like The Nightmare Before Christmas! At the time of making this review I've only watched the first episode and am thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the series! Soul is a very cool character and the only gripe I found was: WHY DID THEY GIVE BLACK STAR A FEMALES VOICE?! AND IT'S SO OBVIOUS IT'S A FEMALE!But apart from that, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series!5/510/10
