It obviously wasn’t bad, but that’s about all I can say. I don’t really have any comments to make on the background music. In fact, I think it’s only really done well in one of the ending sequences. Another point worth mentioning is that Maka is drawn in a way that makes it incredibly hard to make her look intimidating, despite the artists trying to achieve that very effect in certain scenes (I think it has something to do with those strange floppy side-ponytail things she has going on…that and the micky mouse gloves, possibly). I didn’t really mind, but man did those things look weird (alright, I may be exaggerating, but something had to be said). Soul Eater looks nice, it really does, but I don’t think the animators have ever been exposed to what a normal nose looks like. I suppose I had better comment on the visuals and sound. However, if you watch this anime then you will be disappointed by the ending (at which point the anime diverges from the manga). I don’t really want to go into details beyond what I’ve already written about, but I assure you that the plot is generally pretty darn good. At the beginning of the show they have collected all 99 evil human souls and only have the witch’s soul left to find.
LAST SOUL EATER ENDONG PLUS
On top of this Maka clashes with Blackstar on several occasions, which is always a plus =). While their relationship isn’t perfect they work well together and strive to improve at every opportunity.
Maka and Soul are really the main protagonists of Soul Eater, as well as being my favourite team out of the three. In the majority of fights the antagonist simply shrugs off the compressed soul energy he uses for bullets, but in other fights he wins with what seems like minimal effort. The one complaint I have about the Kid is that there is absolutely no consistency in his power level. Of his twin pistol partners, Liz is fairly unremarkable and Patty is an incredible ditz that can also suffer bouts of near-psychotic rage. Despite his flaws he has a fairly level head on his shoulders and beats Blackstar in popularity by a mile. Thankfully this trait is only really abused during the first portion of the show.
His partner Tsubaki is, by comparison, incredibly likeable, loyal, calm and completely unlike Blackstar or anyone that would ever want to partner with him (if there is such a person) heck, the anime even comments on this on multiple occasions.ĭeath the Kid, who is apparently a Reaper rather than human (could have fooled me), is a person completely and utterly obsessed with symmetry – to the point that he will break down when confronted with chaotic designs. The only good thing I can say about him is that he is consistent…and also gets what’s coming to him on multiple occasions. I need to get this off my chest right away – Blackstar is quite possibly the most obnoxious and annoying character I have ever seen in an anime, his brazen displays of overconfidence make me grind my teeth in frustration. There are a number of supporting characters that are generally well done, and while many remain in the foreground for most of the show there are some that are seemingly forgotten and disappear for long stretches at a time (here’s looking at you, Blair). The anime follows 3 main teams that attend the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA, for short): Maka Albarn and her scythe Soul Eater (no, I have no idea what kind of parents would name their child that), Blackstar and his multiweapon Tsubaki, and Death the Kid (Lord Death’s son) and his twin pistols Liz and Patty. The Meister doesn’t really seem to get anything out of the deal…but let’s not worry about that. The interesting part for me is that the “Weapon” member of each team actually transforms into a weapon to be wielded by their Meister. The goal of these each of these teams is to have their Weapon consume 99 evil human souls and 1 witch soul (all witches are evil, apparently) so that the weapon can become a death scythe, fit for use by Lord Death – the aforementioned academy’s headmaster. Soul Eater begins with a fairly interesting concept: An academy exists where students team up in Weapon and Meister pairs and learn to fight those who decide that eating human souls is a great idea.
