Soul Eater is a 51 episode anime by Studio Bones.
Story: 4/5 Characters: 4/5 Opening/Ending: 4/5 Rewatchability: 4/5 Overall: 4/5
Soul Eater is a wild ride from start to finish. This anime introduces you to the world of Mesiters and Weapons. Meisters are people who wield Weapons to defeat Witches and collect souls that have become impure, and Weapons are their partners- people who can transform into a weapon at will. The ultimate goal after consuming 99 impure souls and one Witch soul is to become a Death Scythe, a weapon that the Lord of Death himself will use in battle. We follow 3 teams as they attend school, fight evil, and strive for their goal.
The first three episodes are introductions to the main teams. The first is Maka and Soul (the two people in the middle). Maka's father is a Death Scythe and she wishes to make a weapon as great as her father. Next is Black Star and Tsubaki (the rightmost pair). Black Star wants to be the best assassin possible and has a rather large ego. The last is Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty (the leftmost pair). As the son of Death, Kid is on his way to succeeding the Lord of Death one day. They are all enjoyable to watch as they go on their adventures.
The second opening is the one I'd like to showcase because it was my favored one between the first and second. It's called Paper Moon and it's by Tommy Heavenly6.
The ending I'd like to show is the 1st one, I Wanna Be by Stance Punks.
I'd say that Soul Eater is definitely a good candidate for rewatching. If not to find details you missed, but to re-see the best moments of the series (or if you're attached to a specific character like I am, you can just look up the episodes with them in it).
Soul Eater is a very fun watch, and is visually interesting too. The story is neat, the characters are great, th music is nice, and I reccommend watching it!
