Soul Eater

Anyone else following it? I picked it up a few days ago and got myself caught up. The animation and style is very, very awesome, and the premise and characters are pretty interesting. The plot so far does seem sort of in pieces, but I imagine that's going to pick up eventually.

I follow the manga but haven't been motivated to watch the anime (they're basically the same, from what I hear). Yes, the plot will smooth out a bit, but it retains the quirky style.

I"ve heard of this "Soul Eater", but never checked it out. Is it any good?

So I just got myself caught up in the manga. I can't wait to see it animated. It could be that I'm bored with the characters that are in the other manga that I'm following, but I really like this cast and their quirks.

Not a whole lot of continuous story line, but a pretty good anime. I like the animation style, too. The art is like Jing or Trigun as re-imagined by Tim Burton. I've watched raws up to episode 10 (which I think is more-or-less current) and fansubs for about half of them, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

I've heard of this, and it looks intriguing... reminds me of Bleach with more focus on the "sentient/living weapon" thing, which is nice, because I've always been fascinated with the zanpakuto/wielder relationships and Tite Kubo doesn't do enough with it. XD I'll have to start reading or watching this one.

I can see why people might immediately think of Bleach when they see this, but it really doesn't feel like Bleach. I am enjoying the interactions between the weapons and masters a lot.

This anime is AWESOME. I love the fact that it finishes at 51 and the plot and charcters are so relatable. This anime is a win.

The club I attend is watching this and I'm finding it very enjoyable, particularly Death the Kid and his neuroses.

The anime original final arc isn't bad, but I don't like it as much because it means we will never be able to see all of the cool stuff that is going on in the manga right now.

I've finally started watching this and I love it. <3 And I'm glad I have a whole anime to watch, because I'm caught up on the manga and the fact that it only updates monthly is going to kill me. XDDD;;;

It's got some very interesting spins on the normal shounen tropes, and I love all the characters so much. Even Medusa, despicable as she is, makes for a really great villain, the type you love to hate (her relationship with Crona, her manipulativeness, and her creepy chemistry with Stein are some of my favorite/hated things about her.)
