The contrasting duo work and study alongside the hot headed Black☆Star and his caring weapon Tsubaki, as well as the Shinigami's own son, Death the Kid, an obsessive-compulsive dual wielder of twin pistols Patty and Liz. Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe who only seems to care about what's cool, aims to become a Death Scythe with the help of his straight-laced wielder, or meister, Maka Albarn. These Death Scythes, however, are not made from physical weapons rather, they are born from human hybrids who have the ability to transform their bodies into Demon Weapons, and only after they have consumed the souls of 99 evil beings and one witch's soul.
Its mission: to raise "Death Scythes" for the Shinigami to wield against the many evils of their fantastical world. It most certainly has a lot of feelings and joy to share with its audience.Death City is home to the famous Death Weapon Meister Academy, a technical academy headed by the Shinigami-Lord Death himself. So if you can generously overlook the pubescent humor and the clichés in the storyline, and can warm up to energetic and goofy teenagers fighting Demons with cool weapons, give Soul Eater a try. There's no romance, but deep friendship and such amounts of mutual trust and loyalty that it makes for deeply human and relatable relationships. Because it's the intensity of the relationships between the main pairings of the cast (usually Meister and Weapon) that make me go fan-girl over it. order, progress v.s stability, and in part because of the compelling character dynamics. But you can overlook this flaws in part thanks to darker themes like madness v.s. There's also a lot of clichés in the narration. But it also sometimes indulges in totally absurd humor I found uproariously funny (especially the Excalibur "troll episodes"), but then that's my personal taste. This show is clearly aimed at a (presumably male) teenage audience, and the humor is often way too childish for my taste. The music has a very cool flair, never pushing itself to the foreground but always adding the special touch.
The animation is colorful and vibrant (although gloomy and gore at times), with very interesting hallucinatory sequences when Madness strikes, and a lot of signature notes that just scream "Soul Eater!". All characters have very strong personalities, which are reinforced by the stellar voice acting (of the Japanese version) and by the great character designs.
There's also a whole set of secondary adult characters that I really like, and even the villains hold a special place in my heart. In a sense they are all very caricatural and over the top, but so unashamedly and stubbornly so that I quickly grew fond of everyone. The teenage cast fulfills the clichés of the shonen genre: there's the ambitious, hard-working girl, the pretentious idiot, the too cool for school-kid, etc.

This is the setting for a wild ride full of electric action scenes, creepy enemies and slapstick comedy. Here's my impression as an adult: In a universe in which some persons can transform to weapons, Death himself has created an Academy where Meisters and Weapons team up to learn to fight evil and madness. I first watched and loved Soul Eater, my first shonen anime, as a teen, and have been coming back at it out of pure nostalgia.
