Halloween and Anime together at last Soul Eater is one of my favourite anime. Produced by Bones who brought us Ouran High School Host Club Darker than BLACK and Wolfs Rain. Soul Eater is adapted from the manga by Ookubo Atsushi. It is of personal importance to mention the manga for the animer is a very close adaptation of the latter. In a nutshell the story follows three students Meisters and their respective Demon Weapon partners as they embark on a journey to combat evil and yet grow up with each other at the same time. Story 9/10 The plot follows a general plotline really with the Meisters and Demon Weapons going to school equipping themselves with combat skills so as to fight the forces of evil in the context of the show. Throughout however we are treated to comedy and mere innocence from the characters for they are really just kids trying to grow up so Soul Eater as a show generally turns out to be quite the lighthearted pick. Nevertheless there are episodes which tug at the strings of the heart where the emotions of the characters really reach out to you and also episodes which are pure comedy where you inevitably laugh at the zaniness of the world. Music 10/10 Produced by Iwasaki Taku of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann anime. Responsible for tracks in the latter like Libera me from Hell and FIGHT THE POWER he delivers as well in Soul Eater. The music fits the mood perfectly fighting and comedy scenes are complimented by their music and I really believe he does a good job here. Art 8.5/10 One of Soul Eaters strongest selling point. Bones did really well animating the fight scenes in the manga and the colours are so rich and beautiful that every episode is a joy to behold. The drawing of the characters are good but these are pretty normal I must say. It is the sketches of the environment and the animation that really stands out. Soul Eater was the anime which spoiled me in terms of fight scenes. Characters 10/10 Another strong selling point and you will find yourself liking some of them more than the others. The Protagonists are interesting and fun to watch we have ranging from the slick yet ridiculously symmetry compulsive and the son of Death Death the Kid to a goofy kid who wants to be the strongest but cares for his friends Black Star and we have a bright pigtail girl likes to give Maka Chops to her dad Maka Albarn. Soul Eater provides characters which are strong enough to carry the series on their own backs. Even the Antagonists are interesting you cannot help but like them. Powerful and pretty witches make up the cast of the latter and it is quite fun to watch the inner dynamics where they manipulate each other for their own benefits. Nevertheless Soul Eater is a great show for all its strengths in animation and music. Its lighthearted tone throughout is also ideal for those who seek to enjoy the anime after a tough day at work or school. There is no need to think too much about plot implications apologies if you are a sucker for these Soul Eater allows you to just sit back and gawk at the wonders of the supernatural. Definitely a show worth your time.
