Soul Eater: a Soulicious Review
Hey everyone I am back but this time I am back to doing regular old anime reviews for a while because I don’t feel like doing any dvd reviews at the moment. I decided to review something called Soul Eater and it turns out I found it and this is the review of that anime. Also remember to check out the forums and make sure to register there so you can discuss this review and others. You could check out my myspace profile where I sometimes have some myspace only reviews but this is just me advertising my myspace page so you don’t have to go there. You do have to check out the forums that’s not optional but I cant make you go but its your choice whether you go there or not. Well I guess I am going to go ahead and get on with the description of this anime. So instead of describing the series I will do one better not describe it and show you some pictures ohh pictures.
The story takes place at the Shinigami Weaponry Vocational School, a school for creating Death Scythes for Gods of Death. The human and demon students seek the seeds of the souls of 99 humans and the soul of one witch, all of which are needed to turn just one of the demon students into a Death Scythe. One of the human students, Maka Alban, is paired with Soul Eater, a boyish demon whose true form is a scythe, as they collect the needed souls to transform Soul Eater. (Source: ANN) oh good old ANN you tend to give some useful information but this is kinda lacking dont you think I mean almost everything else get more than this as a description. Well this is a vague description of the anime so it barely tells you much about the series but then again this is one weird confusing series so I cant tell you a better description.
This is it time for the actual review of this messed up mixed up series where everything looks like someone was on some sort of drug while they created this anime. I am not saying that in a bad way since you might actually start to get used to the odd surreal way the anime is made in. I am one of those people who actually begun to get used to the oddness of this I mean look at the sun and moon what in the blazes is up with that seriously. Ok so I am not completely over all of the surreal look of the series but its still got action and comedy which is a plus in my book. The show is quite funny well certain characters are funny while other characters seem slightly retarded I am looking at you black star I swear you are retarded just a little. Dont worry Black Star does make me laugh but the character that makes me laugh the most is Maka’s Dad whose name is Spirit cracks me up I dont know why but he entertains me to no end. Also there is Death the Kid who has a horrible name but his love of things being absolutely symmetrical is pretty entertaining as well. Then again I take it back Black Star does have his moments good thing he isnt a Lambo or I will be pretty sad but at least he can fight. Oh yeah the action of this series at times can be odd but all in all its got some pretty good action to it. The action is some sort of weird combination of Bleach, D Gray-Man and I have no idea what they combined with those to make the weird fights that this series has. Ok lets move on to the music and sound which I actually enjoyed the music of this anime. The opening theme sounds like something you would hear on D Gray-Man but the name of the song is”Resonance” performed by T.M.Revolution. The closing theme actually sounds like a naruto opening theme in some ways but its called “I Wanna Be” performed by STANCE PUNKS. The first closing theme ends after only 13 episodes and is replaced with the more upbeat “Style” performed by Kana Nishino. In this series the closest thing to a truly anoying character besides Black Star would be Excalaber yes the king Author sword and yes he is annoying in certain ways but I kind of like him odd huh. Well I give Soul Eater a 4 1/2 out of 5 and yes I am warning you that you will be confused or something close to it by this series I still am but its actually pretty darn good so watch it for yourselves and you will see what I mean. Okay this review is pretty wordy so that is kinda a bad thing because I know how you guys are with too many words so I appologise for making this way too long and boring. Well for reading this far I think you guys deserve something special and that is the opening and endings for this series. What you guys dont think thats special enough for you well fine I will give you my newest amv even if you dont want it muhahahahaha enjoy the evil laugh bask in its evilness.
