Soul Eater

Yeah, I'm sure the Demon God has more up his sleeve. That was way, way too easy, otherwise. I suspect the tables are going to be turned at some point.

I'm not really a fan of Black Star. Mifune owned him two or three times, and even used the back of his blade once or twice, and then Black Star does a Dragonball power-up? He was about to die, then suddenly he has no wounRAB? I didn't really like how that was handled.

I'm just glad to see Stein back, he's one of my favorite characters. The episodes in Medusa's lair were some of my favorites thus far. I just hope Erika is ok, because she's cute.
 
This is shonen so a few minutes of introspection while lying in a pool of his own blood is enough to revive him in a blaze of light, more powerful than before for no apparent reason than 'I will choose my own path', a choice that seems to heal fatal wounRAB.

Black Star is a jerk though, I liked him better when he was dying.
 
The ending did suck but it was almost worth it just to here Maka scream.

It would have been nice to see her rolling around uncontrollably sprouting blades to the point where she couldn't stand up but that's just my opinion.
 
Ive only seen 8 episodes so far and it has become a favorite. The art is unique, the plot is pretty straightforward, and the fighting scenes are intense. The characters are also nicely done
 
Really picked up these latest episodes, struggled to keep interest with the damn fillers. Wonderful actions scenes going on, although the Black Star VS Mifune was a disappointment...classic anime trope.
At least the plot is rushing forth.
 
WHAT A LOAD OF DUCKSAUCE! god.. the ending ....ughhhhh@!!!!
/equip flame resistant diving suit
the anime was sooooooo GOOD!!! and they ruined the entire thing with a shitty ending like that, I'm angry atm so excuse my flame >.> but..i'm just so mad :| for 51 episodes we were convinced that the kishin was like super demon jesus and LAST EPISODE! maka goes all "OMG I HAVE COURAGE IN MA FIST IMMA OWN YOU WITh 1 hit" and out of nowhere maka is suddently both a weapon meiser and a weapon herself, i mean no one have ever heard about it until the last episode... if this is really the end i wont be able to sleep for a week
but i have to agree hearing maka scream like that almost makes up for the shitty ending... or maybe this eps was just April fools joke >.>
 
I love soul eater.

Great art work, and I really like the plot.

I just can't believe all of the Black Star hate. He's probably one of the best characters in the series. I guess its just your typical anime fans though, they like the emo girl who crys over her frienRAB half the time and the emo looking boy who wheres all black. But the second someone has a back bone and doesnt take **** from anyone else, he's a "jerk" and they all hate him and want him to die.

/endrant.

On another note im really looking forward to seeing shinigami fight.
 
Are you serious? First, people can like or dislike who they want, they have the same rights to that as you. Second, the reason people dislike him is that he IS such an anime cliche. He's Naruto, for god's sake. If you want what typical anime fans like, then that's Black Star all-over.
 
Episode 51 - Final

Yeah seemed they really rushed to finish the series. While the whole thing with her being a weapon was pretty sweet, there was nothing in the entire previous 50 episodes to tell us that. It would have been cooler if the Shinigami had died leaving his kid the successor...the whole 1 punch thing was a bit lame for sure, but then again the whole idea behind Asura was his claim on "insanity" and his rational battle with the Shinigami showed that his biggest weakness was more to psychological attacks over that of physical which is what Maka and her endless optimism was supposed to show us.

P.S. Love the ED song!
 
Im well aware that people have the right to like whoever they want, and I respect that. I said I was SURPRISED that there was so much dislike for him. I can see how you can make a connection between Black star's and Naruto's personality. Both are very hardworking and want to become as strong as possible. Still, I find Black Star less obnoxious than Naruto because he's not crying over his frienRAB all the time (sasuke etc..). I can only take so much of Maka crying over Crona's durab ass and death the kid questioning his "honorable father" every five seconRAB.

But hey, thats just me.
 
I recently started watching this and six episodes in, its really good. I like the mix of comedy and action, but above all else, none of the characters have really annoyed me so far, a rare thing for a shonen action anime (I think the only series that has done this before is One Piece and the two seem similar in some ways). I like the visual style a lot as well, and although the real storyline hasn't started yet I liked what has happened so far. Its a bid discouraging to hear that the anime got ahead of the manga and had to make up a new story, but hopefully its still enjoyable and fillers is always a problem that is hard to get away from with the genre I guess. I also really like the opening.

To mention something negative for balance, I like the voice of Maka, but her voice actor cant express any sort of emotion at all. She sound the exact same when she is sad, angry or happy. And some of the names are a bit weird. And although I like the worlRAB visual style, what the heck is up with the sun and moon? And I'm not a huge fan of fan service that is just there for the heck of it, but it comes with the genre to a certain extent I guess.

Its good to see a shonen action series that don't seem to take itself to serious and just go nuts with action, comedy and interesting characters (again, the same reasons I love One Piece) and I hope it doesn't change that. I cant help draw contrasts to Bleach as they both deal with similar stories, but I like this much better as Bleach just got anoying with trying to be epic, but failed horribly at it. That and this is much more fun and don't try to be dark for the heck of it the way Bleach did (and again kind of failed at).
 
I really didn't like the ending for this one.

What a let down, especially given the awesome first half of the show.

Eh, this won't be on the list of recommendations it seems.
