Second up on the Anime Blog, the lowstream show, Soul Eater!

 

As many of you may know, I am a fanboy for this beautiful anime. From the story to the characteristics of our heroes (and villains), this show really does take the cake in entertainment. With 52 episodes released and a new season incoming, this is a must see show!

 

A little bit of background information.

 

Soul Eater is set at Death Weapon Meister Academy located in the Death CityThe school is run by Shinigami, also known as Death, as a training facility for humans with the ability to transform into weapons, as well as the wielders of those weapons, called meisters Our main characters are the Meister Maka Albarn and her scythe partner Soulr; ninja Black Star (very similar to Naruto) and his partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa , who can turn into a variety of different weapons such as akusarigama, shuriken, and ninjato; and Shinigami's son Death the Kid and his pistol partners Liz and Patty Thompson. The goal of the school's meister students is to have their weapons defeat and absorb the souls of 99 evil humans and one witch, which will dramatically increase the power of the given weapon and turn them into "death scythes", weapons capable of being used by Shinigami.

 

Shortly after the start of Soul Eater, Maka and Soul Eater face off against the witch Medusa, who forces her child Crona, meister of the demon sword Ragnarok, to collect non-evil human souls and transform into a kishin, an evil demon god. Medusa and her cohorts attack DWMA with the intention of reviving Asura, the first kishin who nearly plunged the entire world into madness before being ot sealed beneath DWMA by Shinigami. Despite the combined efforts of Maka, Black Star, and Death the Kid, Medusa's group successfully revives Asura, who leaves to spread chaos around the world after a brief battle with Shinigami. However, Medusa is seemingly killed by the meister and DWMA teacher Franken Stein in the process, while Crona surrenders to the DWMA and goes on to enroll there and befriend Maka.

 

I will not spoil the entire series, as the nail biting action scenes will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Watch it now, you will not regret it!

Ah, fair enough. I was under the impression that this show was at least somewhat popular. Especially since I had heard of it before.

Soul Eater is awesome sauce. Although it could have been much more awesome if it stayed true to the manga after the BREW battle in the arctic.

Technically, the "second season" is just a remake of the first, but it will be following the manga.

And it was a typo Big Mac :P

Ah ok, well anyways, here's why the anime is amazing:

 

The music (ive actually downloaded several songs from the anime including Resonance and Papermoon), the grim elements mixed with comedy, the action, the allusions to horror (Frankenstein, Wolfman, ects.) and other things (like the legend of Excalibur), the characters and how their names are easy to memorize (Soul, Black Star, Death the Kid, Stein (who I cosplayed as at Metrocon, a florida anime convention), ects. ), the urban themes, the voices, the amazing and unique animation, the Death the Kid episodes and all the action/suspense they add, the Excalibur episodes and all the comedy/randomness they present, the sad story behind Crona and Medusa's relationship, the whole weapon transformation thing, and finally, how Death himself runs a school.

I hated the ending. I also hated Excalibur because he annoyed me (that's his character though, right?) 
 I did like most the characters though including all the main ones. The humor was great like how Maka's father was completely obsessed with her and how Black★Star so full of himself. 
Something else i didn't like was how creepy the moon and sun are. That's it though. It made my top 10 anime list at number 6 i think
