Soul Eater

S​oul Eater

Synopsis:

This anime is set in a school for Weapon Meister and humans that can turn themselves into a demon weapon. Three different group of friends, consisting of a meister and a weapon, are set on a quest to reach the title “Death Scythe”, the highest title for humans to achieve. Having the title means that they can be wielded by the Grim Reaper himself. Therefore, to achieve that title, they have to collect 99 Demon’s Souls and a Witch’s Soul. Through this, they faced several challenges and dangerous enemies throughout the world and also met different misters and enemies in their academy along the way.

My review:

Soul Eater is an action-adventure anime with a touch of comedy to it. The main protagonists, Maka Albarn & Soul Evans, BlackStar & Tsubaki and Death the kid & Patty and Liz Thompson, travelled around the world to collect different souls. Besides hunting of souls, the anime also have episodes where they settle conflict among themselves. The anime has a few arcs* like the demon sword arc and the remedial lesson arc. Despite having a sufficient amount of story arcs, the anime tends to rush the story and making me confused at some parts of it. An example is the final battle with the Kishin Ashura, they did not tell the history between him and the Grim Reaper properly and hence I was not able to understand why the conflict had started in the first place. Besides the arcs, the Soul Eater anime also have some comedic side as well. Soul Eater have some memorable fighting scenes which make the rushed storyline somewhat forgivable. Other than that, Soul Eater is a very good and recommended anime to watch as the comedy in it will make you laugh and the fighting scenes are extremely exciting and awesome that your eyes will stick to the screen. I would rate this anime 8 out of 10 stars.

*arc means a smaller storyline that is part of the whole in the anime. (Japanese anime culture definition)
