Based on the manga by Atsushi Ookubo, the fantasy-adventure Soul Eater (2008) takes place at the Death Weapon Meister Academy, a school run by the Grim Reaper to create pairs of fighters, one of whom transforms into a weapon wielded by a partner called a "Meister." Soul, who always wants to look cool, turns into a scythe that the diligent Maka uses; infinitely patient Tsubaki becomes a variety of weapons for motor-mouth assassin Black Star. They're joined by the Grim Reaper's powerful but addled son Death the Kid, who has a neurotic fixation on the principle of symmetry, and his twin guns, the Thompson Sisters. Despite their many foibles, all three partnerships command impressive powers. Assigned to capture the souls of evil beings who could foster the creation of a terrible demon known as the Kishin, they battle witches, golems, and other evil creatures. Having created an appealing and engagingly nutty cast, the filmmakers can't always figure out what to do with them. At times, the tone feels too silly, then it suddenly becomes needlessly violent. The witch Medusa's abuse of her neurotic son Crona is disturbing, but her menace is undercut by Eruka, the idiotic frog-witch who serves her. The mixture of freewheeling slapstick, imaginative designs, and supernatural adventures in Soul Eater may remind viewers of Fairy Tail and Gurren Lagann , but the artists push the visuals even further. The designs of Soul and Black Star are essentially jagged collections of angles; the lumpy-looking sun and moon leer woozily from the sky, as if they just lurched back from a prolonged binge. Professor Franken Stein, who constantly adjusts the large screw in his skull, looks like he was haphazardly sewn together from spare parts, as do all his accessories, including his bento box. Soul Eater builds to a suitably flamboyant if very talky climax, as the main characters face off against the reborn Kishin. Maka discovers that, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz , she has always had powers she was unaware of. It's a very entertaining series, but the viewer is left with the nagging suspicion that stronger writing could have made it even better.

That's when Soul transforms - literally - into a razor-sharp scythe, and every defeated wicked soul he sucks down makes him more deadly. That's when Maka unleashes the merciless slayer within, wielding her partner and dropping monsters. Seriously. Monsters. Like the witches, werewolves, and zombies that lurk in the shadows and feed on the souls of the innocent. Every freakish ghoul Maka and Soul take out strengthens their bond, and fighting alongside their fellow Meister/Weapon classmates, Maka and Soul are the world's last line of defense against evil. Review: Soul Eater: the meister collection the epic epsodies - This soul eater on blu-ray came on may 28th and I had to watch it some time when I was in room in scenic veiw Academy the 1-9 ep.s were very good and HD was good and tell a very good about soul eater and happen in the ep.s in each one so that good... So the eps go 1-26 eps on the first ep. the charater was named soul and maka and she using soul as her weapon to evil kishin monster to kill and eat the kishin egg and collect 99 and one witch to become the ulimate death scythes , weapons capable of being used by shinigami.[1] In the universe of Soul Eater, witches are powerful beings and the natural enemies of DWMA, as almost all of them have a destructive nature and desire anarchy. Funimation tells good story about charater named crona or you can say chrona how ever you want to say it... its a interneting charater that you be confused that if its he or she very hard to tell and the charater is funny in disc 3 and the way charater acts the attacks are good with slash with sword when the uses Ragnarok to collect non-evil human souls to transform Crona into a kishin (<S_?), 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 sealed beneath DWMA by Shinigami. ps disc 3 was very epic indeed and awesome and it be awesome when aug. 9th comes because the end will be cool and Franken Stein is awesome charater when says I want to dissect you and a cool attack that he does and this is info: A mad scientist who works as a teacher at DWMA. His name is a reference to Mary Shelley's novel/character Frankenstein. He views everything in the world as a specimen to be experimented on, including himself, leading him to drive a large screw through the side of his head and interweave his own skin, clothes, and even his laboratory with stitches. He normally serves as a kindly father figure to his students, though he suffers from chronic bouts of madness that compel him to try and dissect anything in sight, wearing a twisted and sadistic smirk during these intervals. I did like the anime seris it be cool there maybe a soul eater 2 and no the an edit names ok... Review: A Show thats great for the Soul! - Any Anime Fan should Watch and have this show in their Anime collection. Soul Eater is an Anime that's unique, funny, and amazing. The Story follows students at the Death Weapon Meister Academy. Each team has Students who are and turn into Weapons and Meister's who use the weapons. All students work to turn their weapons into Death Scythes, and become one of Lord Death's personal Weapons, but also to Defend the world from Evil and the raise of the Evil Kisan. You follow 3 Teams of Students. Maka, perfect student and scythe meister, and her all times cool weapon Soul; Black Star, talkative egoistic assassin, and his gentle natured ninja weapon Tsubaki; and Death the Kid, symmetry obsessed grimm reaper, and his street smart twin pistols Lisa and Patty. Thru the series these students will have to fight evil while handeling Teachers tuning into Zombies and Professor's trying to cut them up for Study, weapon duels, black blooded mad swordsman (or Woman?), and school nurse's that are a real Witch. You know, typical school stuff. Animation wise this show is great, the style very gothic and crazy, Sun and Moon Laughing in the sky kind of crazy. The Characters are all beautifully designed to fit their Characteristics and Craziness. I don't like to give away story plots but the each Team has their one story and the main story and they all join back together in the end to fight the main badie. Really the only way the see the coolness of the story is to watch this Anime. It has Amazing Characters, both good and bad, with wonderful voice acting in english, which is rare in Anime. The music is good and memorable, and the Animation is unique and above par for it's time. In the end all I have to say about this Anime is that you Should.... WATCH IT, OR I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL!

Nice cover art, sturdy case, and cheaper than buying the seasons separate.
Every episode of Soul Eater, dubbed in English. I don't watch a lot of anime, but this is one of the very few that I've seen through to the end. I wanted to get the DVDs so I could introduce my boyfriend to this fun, dark, and nicely-animated series. The art style in Soul Eater is fairly unique among anime, which I enjoy. I already had season one so I was either going to buy this set or season two, and this set turned out to be cheaper than the season 2 set. No complaints except the art on the individual season's discs is a little more interesting than what comes on this set's discs. The disc art for the complete series is fairly plain, a simple color with the soul eater logo etched in. Doesn't really matter, though, and it still looks nice. The set also doesn't come with any paper inserts, but neither did season one. I miss the days when DVDs included paper inserts in their cases. I'm not sure why, I just do. ANYWAY, that has nothing to do with this product, so I digress. Top notch product, nice cover art, sturdy case and a cool cardboard dust cover to keep the whole thing in tip top shape. Five stars.

Exact and Precise
For the first few episodes, I wasn't too impressed. It seemed like a standard anime with some action and sexy gags and didn't appear to have much substance. But after the introductory episodes, the series picks up with fantastic pacing, a perfect blend of comedy and seriousness, and great characters you will quickly grow to love (even if you didn't care for them much in the first three prologue episodes). I've had a hard time finding good anime Blu-Rays, since initial selections seemed slim, and my old favorite shows weren't easily making the jump from SD to HD. Soul Eater was a great find, being a more modern show, and looks spectacular in HD. Everything looks crisp, clean, and vibrant, with high-quality animation. It was definitely a great addition to my fledgling Blu-Ray anime collection. This series is definitely worth a watch, but you must make it through the first handful of episodes to see it really shine. I think it may even make a great introductory series for those new to anime, as it includes common elements of many series without going too heavy on them (such as random English words, aspects of Japanese culture, character personality quirks, and gags). Give Soul Eater a chance!

Soul Eater: Complete Series Review
Here we go Soul Eater. A wonderful series indeed, sadly it only lived for one season but a damn good season at that. All fifty one episodes are masterpieces in and of themselves, with some pretty good lines to keep the characters fresh and not at all boring. There's one episode where two of our main characters, Soul Eater Evans and Black Star -an egomaniac with a serious dorky haircut- go on an adventure to discover the sword 'Excalibur.' I won't give too much away but the payoff is pretty friggin' hysterical and I was laughing so hard I started crying. There's a follow up series called Soul Eater Not! Which is also worth checking out Among my favorite characters? Soul himself. He's laid back but not too lazy, he's a charmer in some aspects and he has one crazy appetite for the blackened Kishin eggs within those who are evil. -The series also answers questions I asked myself a lot during early episodes like "what would a Kishin egg taste like?" You really need a good laugh and want to turn to an anime to cure that? Soul Eater is for you. :D

A blue ray worth the money
This comes with all the episodes of the anime it definitely was worth the money and if you like this kind of anime I recommend it.

The Ending Is Dumb, But The Rest Is Great
Aside from the really stupid way that this show ends, it's a very enjoyable series. Unique and lovable characters, great story, entertaining fight scenes, and lots of humor. They definitely should make a second series.

Soul Eater is already a good anime- funny
Soul Eater is already a good anime- funny, dark, and knowing exactly when to be serious or silly- and this is a good version of it. Even the non-Blueray DVD's fairly high quality, from what I can tell, equivalent to or better than streaming it online. But the real clincher is the price- many full series go for around a hundred dollars, making thirty dollars a steal. Every episode is included, as are little bonus content on most disks- the opening/ending songs without lyrics on them, some episode commentaries, and these little 'late night' shorts. And maybe this is standard, but it included both the Japanese and English vocal tracks, so you can listen to whichever you prefer. Not a whole lot of bells and whistles, but it's pretty solid. Overall, I'd say this is a good buy if you just want to own the series outright and not have to stream it, or worry about it not being available due to rights issues.

Better then you'ed expect
Just from the look of it. It is easy to dismiss this series for its silly style. However, if you look past this and give it a try then i promise you that you wont be disappointed. Set in a Halloween style world, where weapons are actually living people, the story focuses on 7 students from the Death Misters and Weapons Academy (DWMA) where they fight bad spirits called Keshens and Witches in order to make their partner into a Death Syth. Going into the world and the characters, the mood is a very cheery dispite its Halloween style. The characters are a very likable bunch as well as the supporting characters. Overall they are a very funny group in different ways (e.g.. one character is obsessed with symmetry that he would leave in the middle of the battle to make sure a painting isn't leaning slightly to the left), even Death is funny character. The action is good, although not the Dragon ball style fights that i have come to love. Funimation once again does a great Dub job, with voice talent of Laura Bailey, Todd Haberkorn and Troy Baker added to the mix. My only complants is while most of the Supporting cast is well invested, there are some who are left out for most of the series. Another is the ending. Its an ok ending, but i do think it wouldn't kill the studio, Bones to do one additional episode. Overall this is a great, Funny series and is defenatly worth a by as something to Watch for Halloween, espesualy among Anime fans.
