Soul Eater
Dec 22, 2009Honestly, I tried to watch this one because it was rated rather highly and people I've heard talk about it had good things to say but frankly, there was only one character that didn't get on my nerves completely and the rest of the show was completely pointless, repetitive, and idiotic.
There didn't seem to be any real story to it so I'm frankly bemused as to how it got 50+ eps. Perhaps it did pick up after a while but 6 eps into a show and it couldn't hook me, more over it annoyed me, kinda gives me the impression that the rest of the show isn't going to be worth my time. Especially at 51 eps...
The animation was interesting for it's uniqueness but it wasn't to my liking and I wasn't able to really enjoy the style.
The characters, as I stated before, annoyed the crap out of me and one was an obvious spoof on Naruto, aka a boisterous noisy ninja.
The sounds were even worse, I dunno why but they seemed to like to make highly annoying and loud noises randomly to the point that even I, someone that rarely pays much attention to this part of anime, got annoyed and turned the volume down. Bad sign.
Overall, I couldn't finish it, I couldn't even get through the 6th ep all the way before I just closed the window and went to find something else to do. I'm sure there are lots of people that would absolutely love this show, namely the same ones that probably loved One Piece, another show I wasn't able to get into for pretty much the same reasons.
*side note: I wasn't able to put a 0 for story so I left it blank instead*
due to a kind of overwhelming response to my review, mainly negatively toward the fact I didn't finish it I'm going to start disregarding posts. I repeat that this review is merely my opinion, it has no basis in public views, thoughts, or feelings. if you have a problem with this review, then take it up with admin for allowing -user- reviews that can be made on a uncompleted viewing.
I still thank everyone for the interest they've shown in this review and trying to defend a show they liked or a particular viewpoint they believe in. If you check out some of my other reviews you might see how I do reviews normally and that this one is by no point a true full review in my standards.

ain't freedom of speach a bitch? :P
This review is garbage. You can't give a comprehensive or thoughtful review after seeing 6/51 eps.
Its like if Rodger Ebert wrote a review on a movie after only seeing the 1st 10 mins of it.
If you're going to write a review, do it right.
I agree with Sunagan. ^^
It did have a storyline, and a pretty decent one at that. The storyline resembles D.Gray Man in a way, which was a great anime itself.
The only annoying character was Black Star in my opinion. Excaliber was a bit boring at the beginning, but seemed to make the mood funnier after awhile, so he's not really annoying. I don't see how you couls say every character was annoying..... maka wasn't annoying until she through tantrums and that was deeper into the story.
I'm not sure why your so amused that it got to 51 episodes since Naruto is in it's 300s and yet so annoying ( I very deeply agree with you on this part ).
You really didn't give it much of a chance if you only watched six episodes. The beginning was mostly introducing the main characters and showing you a little bit about them.
And yes, it is a bit repetitive, but isn't life like that anyway? I find it hard to be pointless or idiotic though, for I have seen some pretty bad anime.
no I don't think it's unfair people are able to see that I'm basing my opinion on a limited scope of the show and can adjust their viewpoints accordingly. At this point I just don't see why I'm in the wrong for expressing my opinion, whether that be on a part of a series or a whole one.
your comparison to convicting someone based on limited evidence isn't quite right though. I'm not affecting anyone's life... some person isn't going to spend time in jail or get off scott free, I just might deter a few people from, in my opinion, wasting their time with this show.
listen, I really respect that you feel so strongly about this but it's not going to change the fact that my review stays up, I'm not going to finish this show... ever, but I am thankful how respectful you are about the whole thing.
