Soul Eater is a disappointment. The anime starts off strong introducing our main characters Maka, Soul, Black Star, and Death the Kid. Initially these characters had me excited and looking forward to what was to come next. However, as the anime progressed pass the first few episodes, my anticipation for it dissipated. I believe Soul Eater had much potential to stand out from other anime, but due to the plot's lack of substance it turned into cliche trash.
Out of all the things I dislike about Soul Eater, Maka was the worst. Her constant complaining and lack of resolve makes her a chore to watch. Black

Star is simply Naruto on coke. There is barely any backstory to Black Star, his family history should have been explored more. Death the Kid was well written, I did enjoy watching him. Soul was a waste of space there was nothing unique about him. The death scythes were absolutely TERRIBLE! None of them had any character development and all had little screen time. When we did get to see them they were stupidly boring and offered little to the plot. The main villain was weak compared to all what was said about him by other characters, the ending is proof of that.
I commend Bones for they're detail to animation. Though the fight scenes were dull the animation held its own throughout. The music was mediocre, nothing to brag about. All in all due to it's pacing issues and poor/lack of character development Soul Eater was a boring anime.
