THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. Be warned. I have dyslexia! Be warned.
So I am watching Soul eater now. I am almost done, 5 more eps to go.
Great anime! Though I had to get used to some of the characters and would have prefered more BS and Kid action.
What I like about this show is how all characters are flawed. That feels real. No super perfect humans and stuff.
Also the action is cool. And the concept. I love how wapons and wielders just go to the same school together and can have kids together.
Characters are great. My top 10 so far:
1 Black Star: Yes his god thing was annoying. I say was because now I know why he says that and knowing the reason makes it a great thing to hear instead of annoying. I love how he doesn't give up, uses the past to grow instead to dwell on anger, how he is very mature behind his comic behaviour and his loyalty to his friends just warms my heart. He gives me strength to go on when I feel like stopping. That is the kinda guy he is. I could list a lot more things I like about him, and explain why the way he acts is in fact a good thing most of the time but I won't because this blog would become twice as long. :P Ok one more thing. When he fights serieus he becomes this awesome super ninja!
2 Tsubaki: This came as a surprise to me. At first I thought she was nice but she wasn't a fave by any means. Now I see her strength, and kindness and patience and can not help but admire that. She is one of the strongest characters in her own right. And the bond between her and Black Star is for me the most joyeus one in the anime. Her battle with her brother was the moment I started to really like her.
3 Spirit: Awefull husband, awesom dad. How he loves Maka, is there for her and cares for her even whe she gives him the cold shoulder. Dad's like Spirit are worth their weight in gold. He also is an great friend, I love his interaction with shinnigami, Stein and the other adults. And to people who agree with how Maka treats her dad: Spirit didn't cheat on Maka, he cheated on her mom. What plays between her parents should stay between the parents. Also I have yet to see this ''awesome'' mother of her, while Spirit was there all the time. Maka should grow up a little and see how lucky she is to have a dad that loves her so much. Black Star doesn't have a family, Tsubaki had to kill her own brother. The sisters grew up on the street etc. Maka has 2 parents who love her. Most characters would be very happy if they had what she has. And she discards it so easy.
4 Stein: He is Stein, Enough said. :P
5 Death the Kid: His symmetry thing bugs me, but I like everything else. I like how he is the more serious cool kinda type but still just makes friends and trusts people. Not your typical serieus and cool guy. Though he ranked 2nd place when I started watching the anime, he dropped a few places because he didn't get much devolpment compared to other characters. I still love this guy though and can understand why he is the most popular character.
6 Mifune: A character that should have had more screentime. He was awesome with all those swords and his weak spot for kids. Coming over wise and kind, all for a little sweet witch child. How can you dislike a guy who fights so strongly for a child? You can't and thus he becomes one of those I love instead. :) He also looks good which is a nice bonus.
7 Kilik,Hiroshi, Free and Eruka. Now these characters are not main ones. One of them even only appears one episode. Kilik: What I saw was awesome, had he been part of the main cast I think he could have been second place. For now I just saw to little of him. I don't really know why I like this guy so much. He is fun, cool, strong and I guess those are good enough reasons. Hiroshi was a pretty boy, but one that could deal with Excalibur! That alone deserves a place in this list. Free and Eruka where funny, and they had their own personalities despite working for medusa. I ejoyed every scene they where in. I don't really have better reasons for that.
8 Thompson sisters: One mature yet more afraid , one silly and never afraid and always giggeling even when something went wrong on their side. I love their bond and contradictions and I love their bond with Kid. I have weak spot for the younger one. The way she laughs cracked me up a few times.
9 Crona and Ragnaroc: Rag is funny and loyal to Crona in his own way, enough said. Crona took me some getting used to. I didn't like him/her at first. But I warmed up to him/her later on. I think if this anime was twice as big and Crona would keep devolping the way he/she is doing, she/he would probably get much higher on this list. Crone is a poor soul. Being used by her/his own mother is awefull. And once Crona starts making friends Crona shows sides Crona didn't show before. The devolpment in Crona is nice to watch. The only reason Crona is so far is not higher on the list is because it bugged me she/he betrayed the ones that gave him/her a second chance. I don't dislike Crona for it, because Crona didn't want to do that, and of course Crona had a bad start and he/she makes up for it later on. But for now, as things are the way they are, I just like those other characters better.
10 Soul and Maka: Maybe a surprise to some that the 2 main characters ended up so low. And I actually have been doubting if I should put them or Shinnigami there. Shinnigami is weird looking but he is funny and obviously has more debth and more power than you are made to believe at first and that intrigues me. However Soul and Maka did win by an inch. Now as for why. Soul and Maka where in fact higher in my list when I started watching, then Maka dropped a lot and I even disliked her because of how Maka treated her dad, how she blamed Black star for a problem she caused and how she acts a bit brattish and unreasonable and is in selfpity/doubt mode for to long. A reason I could have disliked her for that because I am one fro selfdoubt as well and I dislike that about myself so that could be one of the reasons I disliked her. I stopped disliking her however later on and I grew to like her again. Had this anime been bigger I might have grown to lover her again as well. She still made it to the list as it is now because she has very admirable traits. She is brave, very brave, and cares a great deal about Soul. What made me like Maka again mostly though was how far she went for Crona. That loyalty and strenght I admire. She truly saved Crona in a way and gave Crona a future she/he wouldn't have had otherwise. As for Soul, I like him, and that doesn't grow or shrink because he doesn't change. He does get that black blood struggle, which is cool to look at, but besides that his biggest part to play is to respond to and Follow Maka. He doesn't get enough chances to devolp by himself, like How Tsubaki did with her battle with her brother. Soul is cool, but no more or less then that. And the fact that he keeps saying cool a lot also bothers me a little, but that is not the reason he ended up in 10th place. Because almost all characters in this show have one annoying habbit lol.
Note:These are my personal opinions. Please respect them and do not attack me for it. If you wish to reply because you agree on something please do so. We can share what we like about the show. But if you disagree on something please don't. I don't want this to become a battleground between fans of Soul eater. I like talking about things I have in commen with people. Not the frustrations of not having something in commen.
So stay nice, reply if you got something nice/or fun to say, do not attack or bash. Thank you for your time. :)
