Soul eater

Hello people!! Long time no blog X: Yeah it has been one month plus plus since i touched this small space of mine. Well just ended school examination. This means that i will more time for more reviews :] Yeah lets get on with the topic of today that would be ''soul eater''. I guess it is a pretty popular anime with its manga still on going. Well the name to me sounds pretty cool aye ? Infact it is a typical battle plus comedy type anime :D Yes that means that you can be expected to see some action packed moves with powerful weapons and also some funny parts every here and there. It is reasonably long with a total of 51 episodes. My rating for this anime is 8/10 .



The story is actually set in a shinigami technical school for humans that are capable to transformed in to weapons and the wielders that are called meisters to train. The main objectives of this technical school is actually to prevent the birth of a ''demon god'' that would destroy the world. This series focus on three group of meister with their human weapon partners respectively. ''Maka and soul'' , ''Black star and Tsubaki'' , ''Death the kid and liz and patty'' are the three main groups. The goals of the meisters are to actually defeat and feed their human weapons with the souls of 99 evil humans and a soul of a witch. Upon accomplishing it, their weapons would be transformed in to a death scythe that would increase the power of the weapons dramatically and is capable of being used by the shinigami. Their journey is not a smooth one with enemies coming in between them and trying to revive the demon god. Along the way, the meisters and weapons also learnt the importance of trust and friendship. They will also soon learnt a dark secret that is buried in death city.



I feel that this anime is pretty unique for a battle type anime. Why do i say so? This is the first anime that i seen that humans can transformed into weapons. The wepoans can also also feed on souls and get stronger. This is some new concepts. This anime which i think also contains a reasonably amount of fightings. Yes, in almost episodes, you can expect at least some fightings with the cool moves. However, i have to say that there is not much of a variety of moves that they used. So as you go along the episodes, you can get kind of bored . To be fair, they do have some new moves that are pretty cool in the later episodes.

character wise, i think that they have done a pretty good job here. Each character display their own unique characteristic and abilities. Although they do not have a wide variety of characters,but i think that it is a good thing here. In some anime with too many characters, you can get kind of off track and be confused. So yeah, you don't get off track in soul eater :D Well plot wise, i think it is pretty solid with a concrete foundation. What i mean is that at the start ,the anime already give you a strong indication of what this anime is going to be like. So this makes it easy to digest. However the ending wise, i feel that it is too predictable and incomplete. It has a weak twist that does not really make the ending good. So i feel that if they have a special ending or something, it will be great :D



Now for the song part, It suits the theme of the anime nicely. It sounds pretty raw and boring at the start but when you hear it for long, it will definitely get catchy to you.However i have to say it is not my cup of tea but you guys can definitely try it. You might like it :D so here goes:

1. Resonance by T.M revolution (OP 1)

3. Paper moon by tommy heavenly6 (OP 2)

4. Style by kana nishino (ED 2)

5. Bakusou Yumeuta by Diggy-MO (ED 3)

6. Strength by abingdon boys school (ED 4)


All in all the songs are nice. so try it!! The anime is pretty awesome too with all the cool moves and stuffs. So people who like action and at the same time laughter, this is definitely the one for you :DD Okay for people who take a strong liking to soul eater after watching the anime, i strongly recommend you to continue with the manga. It is still on going and it has some deviation from the anime series. Well happy watching !!! :DDD
