In a sense because she resonated with two meisters, it does make a little sense their own witch hunter was able to work.. and Shaula being underwhelming in the fight. The ending was far better than some endings I've seen this season, also the cameo of Death with his symmetry was a nice touch.

What I still don't get is where is all the big names during all of this and most of all: what is shinigami doing?

6-7/10.

I was enjoying the show, but it got boring in the end. The ending was really weak and the fight scene with Shaula was just plain pathetic and rushed as hell. The anime could've have another episode, but whatever. I give it a 7 out of 10

Well, it was ok.

Now, I stopped reading the manga since the translations were slow, but I get the feeling this was an anime-only ending and the manga is still ongoing. Well if so, with only 12 episodes, it's a nice way of getting into the series (provided you like it in the first place).

i always thought tsugumi would choose the two of them to be partner tbh
the yuri kiss was good i wasn't waiting but was really wishing this to happen. the fight parts were ok i think but really too strong for characters that aren't that strong. but i would like to see them in the EAT class at the future (even a little)
didn't expect more than a slice of life with cute girls and it was fun sometimes but boring other times. i'll give it a 7/10 anyway

I think this last episode's battle was better than the original Soul Eater... I found it awesome they fighting in a trio *-*

Anyways....cool episode, some awesome fighting scenes! x3
Maka and Soul....Black Star and Tsubaki....pretty cool! xD

So, Tsugumi chose Anya and Meme as her master huh? xD Pretty cute and all...but I really though she would choose just one of them...oh well! xD Least the trio is staying together from know on~! x3

Overall, cute anime with a mix of action and comedy. :3 Pretty cool.

Fun and enjoyment - that's all i can say about this series.It was a nice spinoff of an amazing series that SE is.I liked characters and all of the cuteness.Was nice to see some old characters as well.My biggest complain tho is that ''serious'' part of show, was mostly a failure - lol, but yeah...

Meh. I liked this show. Before going into this series, people kept telling me that I shouldn't like it because it isn't the real Soul Eater. I expected it to be nothing but cute girls doing cute things, but there was an actual story here, some battles, and character growth. Nice seeing the old cast around, too. 7/10.

In all honesty, though, I have to criticize the animation. I was surprised by Bones' dreadful animation here. Some of the battles looked horrible. What happened?

That aside, harem end is obviously best end, and Anya is best girl.

We needed more Kim and the other girl who's obsessed with her.

One last thing: wtf does "Gagantous" mean?

Wow, BONES, what the fuck? Ok either the Shaula they fought was merely some sort of human puppet who was being controlled and aided with magic combat by Shaula or BONES fucked up by putting a Kishin egg soul where Shaula's Witch soul shouldve been. And also, that ending was pretty... no way to put it nicely, it was bad. Shaula was completely worthless for a Witch, if she truly was the Witch Shaula Gorgon.
Humza_96 said:
Even if she ate the soul she wouldn't get stronger, would she?

In the original Soul Eater didn't it say that you have to eat 99 other souls then 1 witch soul and then you become a Death Meister.

1) its Death Scythe and 2) we dont actually know what would happen if a Weapon ate a Witch's soul before collecting the 99 Kishin egg souls. The whole point of the 99+1 mission is for Shibusen students to gain the power and experience through the 99 to face and defeat a single Witch, who are seen as evil in Shinigami-sama's world, who strategically also gains a Weapon powerful enough to be used against all future Kishin. Technically speaking, a Weapon COULD consume 1 or even dozens of Witches' souls before reaching 100 and simply be an incredibly awesome Weapon with up to dozens of unique abilities that were characteristic of the consumed Witches. But I can only assume that would be an option after the 1st Witch soul was confiscated by Shinigami-sama like in the manga, who returns the soul to the Meister and Weapon upon completion of the 99.

Tsugumi choosing both of them was quite predictable. I just couldn't see this anime not having a "happy ending". Not completely satisfied, but overall the series was a nice spin-off, enjoyable to watch.

I was disappointed with this last episode, I dunno, it was a very "fairy tale" ending, like "and they live happily ever after".

Thought tsugumi would choose one of them to be her partner and defeat the witch was so easy, looked like that in the end it was no big deal, losing to simply NOT students.

Oh, speaking of NOT, I also thought very excessive protagonism the three of them achieve the resonance of souls, as if it were the simplest thing in the world to do. Overall a fine series that i enjoyed.

A really pleasant final episode, I didn't like it as much as the manga so far(which is more enjoyable than Soul Eaterto me in general), but the insight in the world of Soul Eater, previous events and just seeing a weaker cast barely make it as a more powerful cast having a supporting role was good.

I see a lot of people concerned with a NOT beating a witch, but I argue that the fight hopefully makes more sense the manga and that just because a character is more powerful doesn't mean that they take a loss (even if I can see the DEM on display). There are weaker witches in the series as well and none of us would doubt that Medusa was on the higher end but she still wouldn't have a nice time if he was attacked by something while unprepared...

Also, it is quite amusing that both Soul Eater and NOT!'s animes ended with DEM laden victories. :P

The battle vs the witch was uber shitty. Plot armor lvl over 9000. Anyways the rest of it was cute :3 Overall i enjoyed this. I laughed a lot, it had it's action moments and I enjoyed seeing the old cast again (rarely though). Just for the record it Soul Eater Not had godlike OP and ED songs damn i listen to them everyday


I'm more curious about the plot armour that prevented Lord Death/Shinigami-sama from coming in and giving Shaula a Death Chop or two, those three somehow not getting hit or targetted by anything lethal.

That said, given that they don't have a single appearance in Soul Eater's manga while Akane and Clay do,we could have had something a little more fatal happening perhaps even deaths. Since the manga had four or five volumes, I imagine we are missing out on something and may have a slightly different end.

In the original Soul Eater didn't it say that you have to eat 99 other souls then 1 witch soul and then you become a Death Meister.


A Death Scythe, but otherwise yes. She should become stronger I think but the other souls would be needed to become a death scythe and probably they are needed in that order.

i enjoyed this show somehow. i like „slice of life“ so this wasnt a bad aspect of the show. and they also build up well a nice little enemy problem. it didnt feel out of place or over the top or something like that (e.g. Freezer destroying the world …). it was just nice and fitting. ^^ i have no problem seeing such a concept within a well known existing universe like „soule eater“ as i would not have a problem with a funny side show within e.g. the „cowboy bebop“ universe or some other more serious show. ehm … animation style was good except some fight scenes. they could have done it better, especially the last fight with Shaula. Anyas first demonstration of her skill in the first episode was awesome but we didnt see anything like that again in the show (maybe the short training session in the backyard but not the big fights) … =/ anyway, it wasnt the main aspect of the show so thats somehow okay i think. seiyuus were great. i like Anyas voice alot. i cant remember the OST, but op and ed songs were great and i enjoyed them every episode (and many times on my mobile device, both are in my hall of fame). ^^ overall i would give this show 0,84 or 0,83. great show. =)

Pretty cute ending.

That kiss though, at first I though Tsugumi was going to try to stab Meme, when she gulped that antidote.

It's a good spin off, I am yet to watch the original though. I really liked the OP, as well.

The end line was pretty satisfactory. Gagantous!

I would never consider this a good show but I do have a deep fondness for the Soul Eater universe which helps me overlook some of those negative things about it.

Meme is a shitty character that almost ruined the series for me.
Anya however, has found a place in my heart.

Am i the only one who has noticed how this and original anime have discrepancies? At the end we all see that Liz and Patty have joined Death the Kid so you would think this is a prequel, right? And then I remembered that Sid sensei is killed yet he was in original series so this anime cant be nor sequel nor prequel, right? :S
Unless Dr Stein saved him somehow but it wasnt revealed. :S
Anyway they should have made second season of original series instead trying to make Railgun version of SE imho. But not bad anime for passing time and enjoying those cameos xD

Sid was a zombie in the original series.So it makes sense that he died in the prequel.
As for the show i give it 6,5-7/10 because it was enjoyable to watch but not something special.

I hope they remake the original soul eater series now that the manga has ended.Defeating the kishin with the power of love is so lame.

Honestly I cannot believe they made Tsugumi fly before even being able to create a blade on her halberd. As far as I remember Soul couldn't even get flying down once he became a death weapon. The progression on Tsugumi in such a short time with no real combat experience was simply far too much to be believable. It honestly killed the ending for me a bit.

Still a decent show at 7/10 for me.

3/5

Final Round that has nothing to bombastic, as I thought and proved, the epilogue is discounted.
Anime that I liked for its vein slice of life, useless to be illusions.
Cute characters and a thousand moe, shame about the scontatezza the final, I would have raised a half point on the final vote, oh well!
Animations and drawings are not to massino the chance by the studio Bones, but the character design is very cute. Very beautiful the opening and the ending of the series, scenery quite nice and manicured.
The prettiest of all the characters, for me, is definitely Altair! : 3
Final score of 6/10!

I wonder if they will make a sequel ...

How. Just HOW can people be TWELVE episodes in and not figure out the timeline. NOT begins before the original but then runs ALONGSIDE the original since episode 9 or 10 of NOT. NOT ENDS between episode 3 and 4 of the original.

As far as Kid's entourage goes, Liz and Patty are only in Death City BECAUSE of Kid. Prior to meeting him, the Thompsons had never left Brooklyn, New York. The reason they were always separate from Kid was because they committed tons of felonies and needed to properly atone for that if they wanted to remain in the presence of Shinigami-sama. Even before we meet them in NOT, Kid and Liz and Patty have already been partners for a while.

Lastly, Sid and Stein. You do know that Stein's first name is Franken, right? "Franken Stein" ring any bells? Stein could reanimate Sid at any time he wanted as his namesake is legendary for doing so.

This was really cute and more of a slice of life than action, which is quite understandable for spin-off, but I couldn't get the annoying voice of the MC out of my head. Plus the fact that it was too short.

The final fight was garbage, but overall the battles were the weakest part anyway. I enjoyed everything else, especially seeing the Soul Eater world from a different perspective. I'm just a sucker for spin-offs :x This series did help with some characters that were very lacking in the main series too, which was awesome.

Seriously, it baffles me when people can't understand the timeline in this show, most threads had people questioning this. It just seems like they're thinking too much when the answer is simple like you explained.

Well...that sucked. So I guess the all powerful Shaula wasn't so powerful after all..?
That fight was ridiculous, would have been more legit if Akane or someone else helped out at least.

The series started out great and way better than I expected, it was pretty dam fun. But these last few episodes have been pretty lame..

Score went from 8/10 to 6/10
I can only hope this will lead to a reboot of the original :(

I love how they tied Shaula's soul to a string like a balloon. It was surprisingly cute considering they did that to a Kishin egg xD

The Kid scene at the end was like the cherry on top for this series. Love how they ended this by giving us a little bit more of Kid and his symmetry xD

A bit weird how Tsugumi grew her hair out at the end. I guess that means she matured and didn't need to try to copy Maka with those pigtails huh?

This ending dropped it one point down for me. I mean winning against a Gorgon witch makes no sense and second this "i will have you both as my partner" makes no bloody sense. It just seems stupid when they simply throw her left and right.
A weapon having two meisters just doesn't work.

Basically i would have given this show a better grade if it stayed as a Soul Eater K-ON type of thing instead of trying in the end to have some shounen action suspense because when it tried to pull that stuff it failed miserably. The fights were bad and made no sense and so to the powers etc.

This was an ok show. I didn't care for how they didn't give much importance to any of the main characters, especially maka and soul. But i guess that is to be expected.

What i really didn't like is the ending though, Doing soul resonance with two meisters? How the hell does that ever work and the way it was put together was pretty stupid. Ahh i guess this is what you get for a spin off i guess. Everything else bout the show was pretty enjoyable, the shonen like ending did not fit with this show at all.

Btw i just have to declare this! :D
