Soul Eater - Complete Series

I'm not going to take much time to review the SERIES, as I like to collect physical copies only after i've watched the series and know I like it. So I couldn't possibility find anything disappointing or unexpected there. As the other reviews show, this is a high-energy animation with plenty of awesome characters, extremely slick art direction, and a great presentation of a plot you've probably seen before, but was never quite this fun. What is great about this release is that it is CHEAP for an entire anime series. While Soul Eater has been around and is easy to find (it's on Netflix right now) the Blu-Ray is the highest quality version you can get. It doesn't have many extras at all, but it's the best way to watch the series if you want to splurge a bit on anime! I tested the first disk on my PS3 and it worked beautifully. The original Japanese dub (with subtitles of course) is there as well as the dub, for those of you who are concerned! And the packing is pretty nice too; sure it's not a limited edition or anything fancy, but it's the entire series in HD for a very, very good price. I'll add one tiny warning: There was a bit of damage to the paper sleeve; in the corners. You know how they get if they get shuffled around for years in storage. I don't mind because my cases always suffer this kind of damage when i haul them around for moving or to friends houses; i'm not really a collector and the video/audio quality of the discs is what matters the most. But if you are really picky about that kind of thing, you might want to proceed carefully.

I admit, the artstyle of the show DID put me off for watching it for a while. I just felt the show seemed to be more like a cartoon than an acual anime. I was wrong, even though I still think the artstyle is a bit cartoonish like whats up with that moon 🌙 that smiles and has blood dripping down it's mouth? Why does it even have a mouth. Even death looks like something from cartoon network. In any case though this is a very well made anime. I won't bother giving a full review for this series, I don't have time for that. It's a very typical shonen anime were the protagonists of the series gradually get stronger and stronger as more episodes go by. Some typical anime fan service here and there, nothing too raunchy though. Jokes can be genuinely funny and give the anime a sense of personality. If there is one thing this anime has going for it it's defently it's style. The blu ray makes it look so good. All its openings, mid intermissions, and ending openings show this as well as how the anime handles it's story. You know one episode they are trying to find the holy sword of Excalibur and the next they are on a field trip for extra credit class. It's pretty diverse and keeps all the episodes feeling fresh and intresting. No filter episodes here, this is all from the manga from start to finish. Fight scenes are particularly well done, very fluid and can bring the intensity level dispite my criticisms of the art style. Overall I really ended up enjoying this anime. Not my favorite anime but no less enjoyable as my favorite animes.

First of all, despite giving the show a five star rating, I'm not going to say Soul Eater doesn't have its share of problems. (The ending is pretty much a joke, as multiple reviewers have stated.) And the series is certainly not for everyone. But where it's good, it really excels. This is an anime that I imagine different people linking for different things or disliking for the same qualities that some people are really drawn to. Though the first few episodes were fun, I wasn't completely sold on the show until around episode 7. By this time, the main characters have been introduced and things take a more dramatic turn than the previous episodes. The mixture of cartoony and silly, dark and surreal can be jarring for some, but I found this to be a big part of what I personally loved about the show. For the most part, the balancing act of these different elements was handled quite well. The silly moments often acted as a breather for some of the darkest moments. This series could really have you laughing one scene and really break your heart in the next. Sometimes, the writing could seem a bit weak. Sometimes, concepts were brought up and ignored or explained and never really explored later in the series. Occasionally, I feel this is even to the story's advantage. Episode one, for example introduced the two main protagonists and the concept of hunting down 99 corrupted human souls and 1 Witch Soul in order to turn a weapon into a death scythe. This seemed to set the series up to be a "collect 'em all" formula which I personally find to be boring and I'm glad the series didn't go in that direction. In fact I often found myself questioning what would happen next in many points throughout the series. I won't call it "a masterpiece" or "BEST ANIME EVER", but I found Soul Eater to be very entertaining shonen series. When this anime succeeds, it's a captivating ride that really left me wanting more, but not in a bad way. For the differences between the anime and manga, this is one series I could imagine a FMA Brotherhood styled remake since the manga is still ongoing. The animation is a really fun ride, and it especially shines in the battle scenes. And everything especially seems to shine on Blu-Ray. As a matter of value, this 51 episode series would be a fantastic price on DVD for under $30, but on Blu-Ray, it is a must buy for fans of the series.

First thing, first. The product(Blu Ray) came earlier than stated, and it was in great condition. It was sealed and the cover were nice and glossy; beautiful artworks. The discs have no scratches and plays amazing in my Blu Ray player. The artworks of the casing were fantastic! And most of all, the graphics were outstanding!!! Soul Eater Review; This is an unbiased and honest review/opinion of Soul Eater (Anime). The story was great; amusing and thrilling! A very few parts were a bit dragging and boring, but the story was still amazing, with many funny and awesome parts!!! The visual arts were very nice, very pleasing to the eyes and most of all, the arts of Soul Eater's surroundings and architechtual designs were amazing!!! Especially the sun and the moon! The characters were solid and stable; great development of the characters' personalities!!! Overall, Soul Eater is an amazing Anime to watch, one of my favourites, it is very reccomendable and commendable Anime; it deserves 4.8/5; estimate 5 stars from me.

Man this series is great, it has the right amount of action, drama, humor, and darkness. The characters are unique both weapons and meister, the DWMA looks like a fun place to be. The designs of death city are unique. It is weird that the sun and moon have faces though but I got over it. This series does feel incomplete, it needs a sequel or some spin-offs. I'm not gonna spoil anything but there are 3 villains in this series and only the witch medusa was really evil good, the other two didn't cause enough pain like medusa did. The ending felt rushed and I know maka is "Brave" but no i don't buy the way she won at the end. I wish they could've add more to the story like, lord death's youth years, the origins of the DWMA, the elder witch, which weapon becomes a death scythe or the appearance of maka's mom. There are a lot of unanswered questions, but besides that I loved it. I hope they make a season 2 or something. I highly recommend it to any anime fan or newbies like yours truly.

Considering how expensive anime series can be, even on DVD, I love that Funimation decided to offer the entire series in a single blu-ray box set, instead of solely breaking it up into multiple volumes which individually cost as much as, if not more than, this single box set of the complete series. As far as the show is concerned, I found the characters to be hysterical and goofy for a lot of it while also portraying their completely serious and driven sides at times, especially when in battle. This completely bi-polar aspect of the characters personalities is pretty much mirrored in the drastic differences in animation and artistic styles which are great portrayals of the differences in the mood being represented depending on character interactions and settings. Overall, I loved the series and I hope they will decide to create a continuation series based on the rest of the manga being released. If all anime shows were made available in single blu-ray box sets like this one, it would make buying entire anime series much easier and less expensive.

one time i gave soul eater a watch. i liked it and got around 14 episodes in and simply moved on as i didnt feel like continuing. then the show came to toonami(CN/adult swims great anime block! if you like anime check it out saturdays at midnight on CN! support it!) and to some extent i regained interest. then like most anime i went on amazon to see the dvd/bd releases and consider collecting the anime. i found this amazing complete series set for $30! when it arrived the next 3 days of my life were spent solely watching the rest of the series(eps 15-51). but please know this set is for those who wants all the episodes and dont care for too many special features. also the packaging is barebones compared to funimations regular releases. the 6 discs are just one solid color(theyre numbered of course). theres only a slip cover and a plain clear case with an insert that has the exact same thing as the slip cover but with a cool picture of the main characters on the inside.i do understand this is a rerelease that is made cheaply and is affordable. im glad this is an option but i wish funi would do cheaper rereleases that combine multiple releases closer to after all or some "parts" sets are released(while one piece's collection sets are great the season 4 sets burn your wallet. but then again they are high quality sets!). as for soul eater itself its pretty awsome! as i said i marathoned it which means its probably good. the fact that your reading this means you already know the characters and stuff so i will keep this short. the first half is great. however like bones' series fullmetal alchemist the series departs from the source material partway through(most likely because chapters of the still running manga are released monthly not weekly unlike most shonen manga). while the last half is still good the ending is trash(its just so bad. its generic and cheesy and youve seen it before without knowing it) and there are times when its hard to feel and understand the characters and their actions(Small spoiler you have been warned-run maka run!).the english dub is great and has all the talented voice actors youd expect from funimation! the animation is done by bones and that alone means the animation is great(besides 1 character thats terrible drawn in a few scenes toward the end. trust me you will learn who he is). all in all i reccomend this for those who dont own any prior releases and simply want to watch the entire series(especially in english dub since toonami isnt even past the first half). if you already own the parts or weapon and meister collections you can pass!

I really like being able to sit down and zip through one episode after another; after streaming a handful of the episodes of this anime online, I immediately purchased the whole series and eagerly awaited its arrival in the mail! The world is threatened by evil humans who consume human souls and the twisted creatures created from such consumption, Kishin. Lord Death himself founded the D.W.M.A (Death Weapon Meister Academy) in Death City to train young meisters (fighters) and their weapon partners (humans capable of transforming into a specific weapon) to hunt down and destroy Kishin before they cause too much destruction. The first three episodes introduce the three main meister/weapon pairs; Maka Albarn and her scythe Soul Eater Evans, Black Star and Tsubaki Nakatsukasa (who comes from a special family in which every member is a weapon; she herself can take several weapon forms), and Lord Death's own son Death the Kid and his twin pistols Patty and Liz Thompson. The storyline starts off with every student's dream and goal; to turn their weapon into a legendary Death Scythe, a weapon capable of being wielded by Lord Death himself. Maka has big shoes to fill, because her mother turned her father into Lord Death's current Death Scythe, who is a true scythe at that. Sounding too serious? Not even! While a lot of darker aspects such as who determines right versus wrong and the madness of the human mind are handled, every episode contains comic relief in one way or another. Ten minutes or so into the very first episode we get to meet Maka's rather promiscuous father (who flirts with just about every female in the series), and soon afterwards Soul accidentally dives headfirst into a bath with the busty, bubbly Blair. There is a bit of fan service sprinkled here and there as well, all tasteful and relating to the situation. I like that even in the darker episodes that keep you on the edge of your seat, there's always something sweet that comes along to make you laugh, weather it's Black Star's gigantic ego or Kid's OCD. The plot, much to the chagrin of fans of the manga (I have yet to start reading, so I don't know too much) eventually abandons the idea of Death Scythes early in and instead focuses on the hunt for the witch Arachne (interesting bit, every witch in the series has an animal theme) and the deadly and just about all powerful Kishin, Asura. The manga is still ongoing, so a lot of people seem to be disappointed with the ending of the anime. I didn't think it was too awful myself, but I would like the rumors of a reboot the likes of FMA:B being in the works to be true! There are some bits I have heard about that are in the manga (the further exploration of becoming a Death Scythe, the battle on the Moon, Kid's Lines of Sanzu, etc.) that I would like to have learned more about or actually gotten to have seen. I'll just have to keep my hopes up! And for any of you out there worrying about the voice acting, you can keep your fears at bay! Everybody's voice fits their character perfectly. There is also no worry about "Westernizing" anything in the series, as Death City is actually in Nevada and most of the characters are actually American. As for the quality of the Blu-Ray itself, it's absolutely fantastic! Apparently a lot of these recent "Complete Series" anime collections coming out aren't all the best quality-wise, but Soul Eater looks absolutely fantastic on my TV. The only problem, literally the only problem, I have with this set is that rather than standard anime subtitles, which are yellow so they stand out on the animated background, these are white, and also very small, thusly making them hard to read when I want to hear the Japanese audio. Trust me, if the first three episodes draw you in, don't even bother trying to watch more before deciding, go right out and buy this!

La primera compra que realizo en Amazon y salió todo perfecto, el envío fue bastante bueno (a pesar de que venía en un empaque muy sencillo), diría que un sólido 5/5. Gracias al PS3 puedo ver la serie en cualquier momento sin tener que pasar por problemas con la región de los mismos. Aunque no soy muy fan de Funimation, admito que la calidad de la imagen hace que lo pase por alto.

Well I finally finished Soul Eater (51 episodes sure does take a lot longer than the 12 episodes of Madoka I am used to... or even the 25 of Kill la Kill) Favorite Meister (also fav character): Maka Albarn Least favorite Meister: Black Star Favorite Weapon: Tsubaki Nakatsukasa Least Favorite Weapon: If I had to go with one it probably would be Soul Favorite Teacher at the DWMA: Marie Mjolnir Least favorite Teacher: N/A Favorite Death Scythe: Yumi Azusa Best Comic relief: Death (like I would ever be able to say Excalibur) Shout out to the character I think grew the most and is in the running for favorite character if Maka wasn't it: Crona

No problems.

Buen producto es tal como dice el anuncio, incluye toda la serie y las escenas extras del late night show, muy recomendable para los que gustan de este genero del anime
