Soul Eater
Synopsis:
In a bizarre fantasy world, students known as meisters are trained at the illustrious Shinigami Weapon Meister University; but the tools they wield are no ordinary weapons! Each meister is paired with a human-like being who can transform into a weapon at will; and after defeating a pre-kishin - a human whose soul has darkened - the weapon eats the soul within it. A meister's ultimate goal is to collect ninety-nine pre-kishin souls and one of a witch so that his or her partner will become an all-powerful Death Scythe. Maka and her partner Soul Eater; Assassin Black Star and his partner Demon Blade Tsubaki; and Shinigami's son Death the Kid and his partners the Demon Twin Pistol Thompson Sisters each vie for their ultimate goal, but plenty of challenges and adventures lie in their way!

add recBoth series revolve around Shinigami trying to restore peace by ridding the world of evil souls. Both of these anime contain lots of interesting characters, tons of good humor and some incredible fight sequences.
They Both Have To Do With Shinigami And The Weapons They Posses. In Soul Eaters They Take On More Of A Human Form, Where As In Bleach They Can Take Different Forms (Like In Renji's Case, A Baboon/Snake). Bleach Has A More Serious Story, But Its Worth It.
Soul Eater and Bleach share many of the same motifs, for instance, both tell the tale of the protagonist weilding a huge weapon that is a living spirit. Both protagonists also fight for justice while slaying "evil" souls and protecting the innocent. Finally, Bleach and Soul Eater each have a good mix of Action and Drama while keeping a flare for comedy. If you like one, you will like the other.
both anime revolve around the death and after life of humans both are a serious anime but have funny aspects in them which come from secondary character eg kon and black star both stroys revolve around a main character who goes and destroys bad souls useing wepons that have souls.
Both shows revolve around the shinigami concept, even though the approach is a bit different.
Nonetheless, they both share a good amount of humour and fight scenes, tied up with a good animation style and decent character development.
There's the fact that they are both shounen, they are both mainly for men, with lots of awesome fights, perverted scenes, love scenes, funny scenes and a great feeling of great friendship beetween the characters.
If you add to that that they are both about shinigamis(death gods) who kill dark and evil beings and save human and pure beings, the similarity grows up more. And add to that the weapons they use that can transform into bigger ones, and their power grow up through the series, and in soul eater the weapons are being that talk and feel and in bleach some of them are also beings, living beings, so the feeling of fighting togueter the user and the weapon is also a similarity beetween the two animes. You will surely like one if you liked the other
Both series are about teenagers with amazing abilities, their main goal to protect people from "corrupted souls" bent on eating human souls. In Bleach soul reapers fight hollows and in Soul Eater meisters fight kishin. In Bleach soul reapers use a zanpakut? and meisters use humans who can change into weapons. In both series the wielder has (well should have) a relationship with his/her weapon. Both series are action packed and funny. The characters also have similar personalities. If you like one you will most likely enjoy the other.
Both Anime's main caracters wield a huge weapon. And both weapons have a soul witch the wielder has to sync with to get more powerfull. The combination between storyline and action is great, if you like one, you surely like the other. Must see's!
Its a great story and its the same feeling when watching the anime. its the unike wepons fights and the characters personalites thats makes the anime better then the rest.
Oh, look:
- Shinigamis
- Action
- Comedy
- Shounen
What does that mean? Well, if you look at it closely it means that both Bleach and Soul Eater are so similar!
These shounen shows have the great action, the best comedy, and cool shinigamis.
Soul Eater tends to be a bit more crazier in what it does. Especially when you look at Death the Kid's perfectionist personality.
Though Bleach is more serious than Soul Eater is, they both are really good shows that are worth watching.
The reason why you should watch Bleach if you are watching Soul Eater is because there is a common trait in both. Instead of just showing the good guys always triumphing and the bad guys are blown away, the anime that I have seen a relation to do the exact opposite. Both anime give the stories of the bad guys as well, and show why the bad guys are motivated to do the 'bad' things that they do. These anime are not just some bonehead anime that show no flow, ya know?
Easily works both ways. Soul Eater and Bleach both revolve around warriors using weopons, with personalities, to battle evil spirits. There are obviously differences in plot and whatnot, but fans of shounen and action should check out both.
Both anime do share some common points, and the fans of Bleach probably would like Soul Eater a lot and vice-versa. However, Soul Eater approaches from a new drawing style. The point isn't to make the envirnment look realalistic, but more humoristic. But the story can be as rough, exciting and can contain kick-ass swordfights as with Bleach.
Anyway, if you like shinigami, oversized and overpowered blades and a healthy portion of humor, both Soul Eater and Bleach are something for you :o)
You'd like both because they are about these shinigami (good guys) who battle demons and witches (bad guys) with a lot of comedy along the way, Although id say bleach has more serious characters than soul eater it makes up with action and soul eater is funny from ep 1! (dont let the cover picture diswade you)
Soul Eater and Bleach are two shounen series that managed to find a great balance between awesome action, "deeper" themes (for as deep as fantasy shounen gets) and wacky comedy. Both shows involve the same sort of master / weapon understanding, are partly about protecting what's precious and, yes, even have shinigami. If you enjoyed one of these shounen-flicks, make sure to check out the other.

add recBoth series consist of characters that fight with special weapons to help maintain peace in society and protect people. In D. Gray-man exorcists fight akuma; in Soul Eater meisters fight pre-kishin humans. Both akuma and kishin are pretty much corrupted human souls. Both of the series are extremely entertaining. They both have characters with similar personalities and are easily comparable, but that by no means makes one more boring, and you won't feel like you're watching the same story in a different way. For example, Komui's love of his sister Lenalee (D. Gray-man) and Maka's father's love for her (Soul Eater); they are very similar relationships yet totally different. D. Gray-man has a more serious darker tone than Soul Eater. Soul Eater provides more comic relief more frequently. In D. Gray-man you might go five episodes without laughing once; with Soul Eater it's hard to last one. Both of the series have great music, characters, and awesome plots. You should definitely give both a try.
the art styles seemed similar to me. they also both deal deal with demons and the supernatural.
The art style of both is very simular but at the time uquine. Both invole humans who fight with werid "weapons" againest the souls of humans who lost their way to the after life.
If you enjoyed one then you should check out the other.
Both series deal with similar problems, the enemys being corrupted-souls of humans in both. Both series are based around the supernatural with the main characters fighting with unique weapons to save the earth from evil; in Soul Eater they fight against Kishin, an evil soul-eating corrupted human; in D.gray-man they fight against Akuma, souls stolen by the Milenium Earl to power evil killing machines.
Though Soul Eater provides more comic relief, and D.Gray-man has a darker feeling to it, if you've enjoyed one the other is a must.
Oddly enough both anime have a dark halloween feel to them yet are filled with laughs. All the characters are very determined to protect their friends and make their bonds stronger while adventuring around to collect important items that they need. If you liked one check out the other.

add recFirst of all, Naruto and Soul Eater are both very similar types of Shounen anime. They both focus on action while splicing in drama and comedy just enough so that it keeps the series interesting. Soul Eater and Naruto also both stories about students attending a school where they hone their abilites as fighters and strive to become the strongest. Also the characters in Soul Eater share many of the same traits as the characters in Naruto, i.e.: Soul is similar to Souske in that he is the cool, calm, and collected type while still being extremely powerful. Black Star is similar to Naruto in that both have an a huge ego, are clumsy and strong when they need to be. All in all, if you liked Naruto because of the action/comedy/drama mix then you will like Soul Eater (the reverse applies as well).
Both are very similar cause the adventures are interesting and suprising. The characters are always looking for a way to be more strong and besides, there's a character in Soul Eater that REALLY resembles Naruto!
These 2 shows are very similar in style but not in story, Soul eater is about a weird world with witches and mythological beings etc... Naruto is about normal people who have trained to get abilites, however different story the style is the same main characters become stronger to beat bad guy, there will be a super powerful mentors (kakashi as to professor stein) goofy kids with good abilities (saske to soul) (naruto to blacks star) etc... If you liked bleach you will like soul eater.
both animes are based is young teen with "special abilities". the type of comedie is the same, in both stories the characters are "students" that keep learning diferente kinna powers (jutsu's in naruto's case)

add recBoth these series are very shounen and have a similar manic energy from them. Also, both series are very visually striking and well animated with lots of colour and fluid action sequences. Larger than life characters are also a major part of both shows.
Both shows present great animation and graphic. They both are also about fighing weird enemys. Between both the greatest similarity is a magnificent humour you taste while watching this shows. You just can't help laughing.
Slick, cool characters with an air of awesome about them are what will first attract most people to TTGL and Soul Eater. With a kick ass soundtrack, and fun shounen battles, most viewers will be hooked (I know I was).
Mostly mindless fun, the action is will what will keep you coming back for more episode after episode. That and the slightly adult humour. If you enjoy one, give the other a shot.
Kuroshitsuji
In Victorian England it is commonplace for the rich and wealthy to have a staff, led by a head butler, to run their households; the Phantomhive Estate is no different. The young and demanding Count Ciel Phantomhive, child owner of a toy company, lives in the grand countryside manor. Sebastian is his head butler, and the epitome of perfection; he effortlessly and gracefully completes his day-to day chores and fixes the countless mistakes of the other employees. However, whilst on the outside all seems prim and proper, a more sinister secret lies just beneath the surface. Sebastian is in fact a demon bound by a contract with the young count; he will loyally serve and fight for him in return for his soul.

add recboth have quirky similar random humour (which is at excellent quality) and has simiar strange atmosphere to it, where it (in soul eater) is in a different gothic world whilst kuroshitsuji is normal life with many dark supernatural aspects (which also seem quite gothic). lots of action, some drama, lots of humour and great general anime :D
While these seem to be totally different plots and genres. The way they are drawn is quite interesting and similar and there are wacky, quirky characters in both anime. Both at the end of the series will leave you wanting more as well. If you liked one check out the other.
Kuroshitsuji and Soul Eater are both action / comedy shows with cast full of some funny, wacky and badass characters. While Kuroshitsuji definitely is the more comical AND darker of the two, and Soul Eater the more shounen-ish, I'm sure that if you enjoyed one of these shows for the blend of darkness, action, comedy and great cast, you'll enjoy the other as well.
