Halloween and Anime mix together
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 Wolf's Rain. Soul Eater is adapted from the manga by Ookubo Atsushi. It is of personal importance to mention the manga for the animer…

If you’re a fan of the nineties stop motion movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, your vision of a land based entirely on the tropes, designs and conventions of Halloween is a dark, depressing town where every single resident is ironically joyful and pleasant towards one another. Soul Eater, on th…

The twisted city, the grinning moon, the first opening's ridiculous background animation... My memories of Soul Eater were all distinctly visual before I got to rewatch it, and it makes sense: it's probably…

~~~Uma das minhas maiores dúvidas desde que comecei a ver animações japonesas é o que faz um Battle Shounen ser bom. Ter ótimas lutas? Apresentar uma história épica? Possuir personagens marcantes?

The premise of the show given in the 1st epi…

<p align="justify"> I am feeling pretty mixed towards this because of the final stretch of episodes, but its leaning more on the positive side. I still think Soul Eater is without a doubt one of the most stylish and distinctive shounen…

__THIS ANIME IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE__, and I am not exaggerating even a little bit when I say that. From the very first episode, I was completely hooked. There’s just something about the animation style that hits in the most nostalgic, comforting way. It has that slightly gritty, stylized look that…
Read full review on AniList →Strong start, but uneven writing and declining animation keep Soul Eater from reaching its potential.
Soul Eater is one of those anime that begins with a burst of energy stylish visuals, a unique sense of personality, and an opening episode that suggests you’re in for something bold, creative, and full of momentum. The early aesthetic is striking: heavy shadows, exaggerated shapes, and a playful got…

~~~Watching this anime was more than just finishing another battle shounen. I originally watched it when I was about 13-14, when I wasn't even a true anime fan, just a fan of individual titles. I watched the first nine episodes and stopped for no apparent reason. I liked it, but sometimes you j…
