![]() It’s a unique premise, and the setting itself is incredibly bizarre and interesting. In order to do this, he trains human Weapons, people who transform into weapons, and Meisters, people who can wield those weapons. Death is a sort of teacher/protector of the world, fighting off corrupted souls that threaten humanity. The setting and premise of this show is pretty cool. But it’s not all bad, right? Maybe the setting fares better than the characters. Simply put: I hate this character and he drags the entire show down by himself. Sure, he has some redeeming moments, like when he spares the witch kid and protects Tsubaki as she fights her brother, but then he goes right back to being the most irredeemable and irritating person ever put to fiction. He is brash, arrogant, and so narcissistic that it would make Narcissis himself go “Yo dude, that’s a bit much.” This one episode alone made me despise him to the point that his actions in the rest of the series still hangs in my mouth to this day. Their characters are so cut and dry that I need a drink just thinking about them.Īnd then there’s the single worst character in the entire fucking show, as well as one of the worst in any anime that I have ever seen: Black Star. Tsubaki is a sweetheart who has the patience of a fucking saint, Kid is ridiculously OCPD and mildly cocky, Patty is stupid and Liz is a coward. Maka and Soul are alright, and they have an interesting love-hate dynamic that is actually pretty fun. Two: the characters themselves aren’t especially deep or interesting. ![]() As such, it comes across as a forced and lazy way to introduce the cast, rather than seamlessly introducing them through the main plot. One: they don’t connect to the main plot in any way. Now, here are the problems with these three episodes. They introduce the character, the setting and set the tone for the series. First we have Maka and Soul, then Black Star and Tsubaki, then Death the Kid with Liz and Patty. Each introduces a set of characters, those being the Meister and their Weapon. The first three episodes are very simple prologue chapters before the main plot gets underway. Also because, nostalgia or no, I remember that terrible ending crystal clear. Why not the whole series you ask? Simple. Today, I’m going to see if my nostalgia goggles are tinted rose or crystal clear when I re-watch the first three episodes of Soul Eater. Things I used to love have turned sour in my heart, from films to my own work. ![]() But even more cruel is the aging of my opinions. Most movies from the 90s and early 2000s are fine examples of cruel aging. Over it’s passing, many things hove gotten worse. And I watched this immediately after watching Dragon Ball!īut time is a cruel mistress. It was also the anime that made me realize just how bizarre anime could really be. Soul Eater has an odd place in my heart, as it was one of the first anime that I had ever watched. I didn’t intend for the double Studio Bones combo, I swear.
