----------------------------------------
Well, that was cute.

I mean the dancing in the OP song and some of the other stuff going on between the main girls. Is that Death the Kid? Hell yes. I find their class to be more fun than the original series. Maka <3 she looks a lot more cuter than I had thought in this especially with that smile. At any rate, I don't expect the same level of action as the original Soul Eater. Yet, it has charming moments. Maka and her scythe definitely made an impression on the students there.

OST is decent on most parts. I hope Harudori will learn more there at the academy. It won't be easy but yeah. I don't like some of the guys that are teasing her though. She needs more confidence imo. Still, that transformation. NICE. Anyways, I have hope for this show. It even has serious moments so I'll take that for granted. Anya Hepburn is awesome the way she took that fight to the bully there imo.

Oh...this is just an anime about junior high school girls, but very cute.

I think the peculiarities of Soul Eater anime are the following:
1. Very unique art style
2. Stylish battle action
3. Good and a little dark plot
4. Strange voices of Maka's VA
5. Question form titles of each episodes
6. Sid is a dead person
7. Excalibur

Soul Eater Not! has nothing above except Maka's voice. I was dissapointed a little. But I decided to think it is a completely different work. In this way, I enjoyed it well in such view.

P.S. I want no Excalibur. Even if everyone on MAL wants him, I don't want to see Excalibur.

I'm not familiar with the Soul Eater franchisé, but this looks cute even if it isn't related to the Main story. I guess it just takes place in the Soul Eater universe? It's basically cute-girls-doing-cute-things and most likely something more; which I'm totally fine with. For some reason it's enjoyable to see the two other characters cling to the main character.

Good Opening Theme as well, and you can sense the Livetune'esque melody from miles away.

It really is a completely different work. It is just set in the same universe. People shouldn't expect it to be like the original series.

Well.. this was interesting.
I liked it but.. it lacked Soul (but that's just my opinion).
It was cute.. I know it's not supposed to be like the original, but I sure miss some kind of sequel for the previous series.
Anyway it was not bad.

I think you don't really need to watch previous series, because these seem completely different.
But i can't say for sure since i haven't read the manga.

Also I'm guessing this takes place before the main story since Medusa is still a nurse.

I never knew the school was in America :P

Maka :D Actually my first time hearing her Jap voice I watched the original dubbed :P

Black Star looks more muscled then I remember.

I wonder how you find out if you can be a meister?

Not bad for a first fight, I couldn't help but laugh when that guy was fighting with the other dude's head :3

Ah so Medusa is still a doctor at the school.

Looks cute and fun this is definitely a keeper.

Anya is sheltered-rich-girl moe.

This is going to be an OK series, but throwing in the MC cameos from the regular show was just a tease to kind of re-enforce that this isn't the real thing. Lame.

Well what can I say. I am a sucker for this kinds of things. First of all Soul Eater nostalgia. I just want to rewatch the anime again. Secondly cute girls doing cute things. Tsundere. And cool fighting scenes. Well nothing happened in the first episode besides introdusing the cast but I'm really interested in it. I hope it keeps up this kind of thing from now on. Daily lives + some fights here and there.

The new character designer should be shot in the head. And then stabbed in the eye with a fork. The signature design is gone and everyone looks 10 years old. That additional shine to the face and eye-colouring is just... NOT.

I am so glad the main characters won't be there a lot because as much as I am happy to see them all again, it's horrible seeing them in this new design... It definitely fits the atmosphere of NOT! story, but it's butchering to the old guys.

I wouldn't mind this moe comedy series, as long as it keeps its content from the original and some great action scenes. The fighting part was actually pretty good so I hope it will keep the flow of it.

Both the OP and ED was good, and the 3 MCs were likable in here. ca't wait for the next episode.

I managed to watch the episode through all the fangasms I suffered from, but in overall, this is definitely not a bad watch. Granted, it doesn't exactly resemble Soul Eater in terms of art and especially atmosphere, since the original was always a bit dark and gloomy with more outlined art and animation, but that's not what they're going for here. This show seems to focus on life at the DWMA, not just the battles and such like they did in Soul Eater, but more of an everyday look at things.

And don't forget the fact we'll be watching weapons and meisters start from the ground up, and that alone I find very interesting.

Wait a moment. Something's not clear here...

"All three take part in the NOT (Normally Overcome Target) class at DWMA and learn to control their powers in order to overcome their difficulties to have a normal life, as opposed to the battle-oriented EAT (Especially Advanced Talent) class taken by Maka, Soul, and their companions."

"weapons" can learn to control themselves but what difficulty does a meister have to overcome by coming to DWMA ?

anyone ? you can even pm me haha, i really do wonder about this o.O

I said from the moment I started reading the manga "I think this would do better as an anime" And altough the manga is good this was much better!!

I've been hyping this like crazy and it was so worth it! Everything from Dandoru's opening song to the cameos from the "Soul eater" characters!

Well done! Kudos!

Anya kicks ass.

cuteness with very stylish fightscenes. i hope it goes on like that. hmmm … i think i have to start „soul eater“, too. maybe i watch it alongside this show. but 51 eps is a hugh mountain to cclimb.

nice calm ending, not bad. the opening was good, too. but both not good enough for the op/ed of the season candidates.

This was actually better than I was expecting, it's cool to see how the public views the DWMA and this time have the perspective of an outsider looking rather than someone who's always gone to that school. I'm also a hyped to see Liz and Patty in this series. This takes place before they join Kid and they're in the opening so we might actually learn about their past. I'm not a big fan of some of the character redesigns though. The original characters didn't have regular "anime eyes" and now they do. From the promo art I was expecting only the new characters to have them but everyone has them. Beyond that, it's mostly the same except for a few amount of changes. Soul wears a suit now, Tsubaki seems a lot bustier this time around and the there's Blackstar. Why does he look like he's eaten nothing but Beefcake 3000 for 14 years?

Soul Eater has spunk. Watch it.

Nice to see the original cast make some appearances! I seriously miss Soul Eater. :(
This seems to be near the beginning of the original series, since Sid-sensei isn't a zombie yet.

Tension building was kind of slow, but action was not too bad. Hopefully we get more of that and spice it up a bit.

Oh my god. I'll admit I was hella skeptical hearing that one of my favorite battle shounens every was getting turned into a moe show, but even the first episode has me feeling massive nostalgia for the old series.

Seeing the old characters and the new characters and the way they interact with the school in ways we would have never seen with the old series, and hell there was even some good action scenes and weapon juggling in here.

Can't wait to see Franken Stein and Excalibur if they ever join the cast, which is likely. At least for Franken Stein.

And is it just me or does Tsubaki have a hella big bust size compared to the old show? Not that I'm complaining anyway.

I've got a LOT of hope for this show now. Please be next week already.

EDIT: Obligatory mention of Black Star. That punch was fucking godlike.

Great to see him back.
