Product Description Maka is a Meister and Soul is her Weapon. As students at the Grim Reaper's Death Weapon Meister Academy, their study habits couldn't be more different. But in battle against the supernatural forces of evil, they're a freakin' lethal team. That's when Soul transforms - literally - into a razor-sharp scythe, and every defeated wicked soul he sucks down makes him more deadly. That's when Maka unleashes the merciless slayer within, wielding her partner and dropping monsters. Seriously. Monsters. Like the witches, werewolves, and zombies that lurk in the shadows and feed on the souls of the innocent. Every freakish ghoul Maka and Soul take out strengthens their bond, and fighting alongside their fellow Meister/Weapon classmates, Maka and Soul are the world's last line of defense against evil. desertcart.com Based on the manga by Atsushi Ookubo, the fantasy-adventure Soul Eater (2008) takes place at the Death Weapon Meister Academy, a school run by the Grim Reaper to create pairs of fighters, one of whom transforms into a weapon wielded by a partner called a "Meister." Soul, who always wants to look cool, turns into a scythe that the diligent Maka uses; infinitely patient Tsubaki becomes a variety of weapons for motor-mouth assassin Black Star. They're joined by the Grim Reaper's powerful but addled son Death the Kid, who has a neurotic fixation on the principle of symmetry, and his twin guns, the Thompson Sisters. Despite their many foibles, all three partnerships command impressive powers. Assigned to capture the souls of evil beings who could foster the creation of a terrible demon known as the Kishin, they battle witches, golems, and other evil creatures. Having created an appealing and engagingly nutty cast, the filmmakers can't always figure out what to do with them. At times, the tone feels too silly, then it suddenly becomes needlessly violent. The witch Medusa's abuse of her neurotic son Crona is disturbing, but her menace is undercut by Eruka, the idiotic frog-witch who serves her. The mixture of freewheeling slapstick, imaginative designs, and supernatural adventures in Soul Eater may remind viewers of Fairy Tail and Gurren Lagann, but the artists push the visuals even further. The designs of Soul and Black Star are essentially jagged collections of angles; the lumpy-looking sun and moon leer woozily from the sky, as if they just lurched back from a prolonged binge. Professor Franken Stein, who constantly adjusts the large screw in his skull, looks like he was haphazardly sewn together from spare parts, as do all his accessories, including his bento box. Soul Eater builds to a suitably flamboyant if very talky climax, as the main characters face off against the reborn Kishin. Maka discovers that, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, she has always had powers she was unaware of. It's a very entertaining series, but the viewer is left with the nagging suspicion that stronger writing could have made it even better.

Review: The entire series in HD for an excellent price - 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. Review: Massively Entertaining at a Great Price - 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.

Soul Eater: the meister collection the epic epsodies
This soul eater on blu-ray came on may 28th and I had to watch it some time when I was in room in scenic veiw Academy the 1-9 ep.s were very good and HD was good and tell a very good about soul eater and happen in the ep.s in each one so that good... So the eps go 1-26 eps on the first ep. the charater was named soul and maka and she using soul as her weapon to evil kishin monster to kill and eat the kishin egg and collect 99 and one witch to become the ulimate death scythes , weapons capable of being used by shinigami.[1] In the universe of Soul Eater, witches are powerful beings and the natural enemies of DWMA, as almost all of them have a destructive nature and desire anarchy. Funimation tells good story about charater named crona or you can say chrona how ever you want to say it... its a interneting charater that you be confused that if its he or she very hard to tell and the charater is funny in disc 3 and the way charater acts the attacks are good with slash with sword when the uses Ragnarok to collect non-evil human souls to transform Crona into a kishin (<S _?), an evil demon god. Medusa and her cohorts attack DWMA with the intention of reviving Asura, the first kishin who nearly plunged the entire world into madness before being sealed beneath DWMA by Shinigami. ps disc 3 was very epic indeed and awesome and it be awesome when aug. 9th comes because the end will be cool and Franken Stein is awesome charater when says I want to dissect you and a cool attack that he does and this is info: A mad scientist who works as a teacher at DWMA. His name is a reference to Mary Shelley's novel/character Frankenstein. He views everything in the world as a specimen to be experimented on, including himself, leading him to drive a large screw through the side of his head and interweave his own skin, clothes, and even his laboratory with stitches. He normally serves as a kindly father figure to his students, though he suffers from chronic bouts of madness that compel him to try and dissect anything in sight, wearing a twisted and sadistic smirk during these intervals. I did like the anime seris it be cool there maybe a soul eater 2 and no the an edit names ok...

Just from the look of it. It is easy to dismiss this series for its silly style. However, if you look past this and give it a try then i promise you that you wont be disappointed. Set in a Halloween style world, where weapons are actually living people, the story focuses on 7 students from the Death Misters and Weapons Academy (DWMA) where they fight bad spirits called Keshens and Witches in order to make their partner into a Death Syth. Going into the world and the characters, the mood is a very cheery dispite its Halloween style. The characters are a very likable bunch as well as the supporting characters. Overall they are a very funny group in different ways (e.g.. one character is obsessed with symmetry that he would leave in the middle of the battle to make sure a painting isn't leaning slightly to the left), even Death is funny character. The action is good, although not the Dragon ball style fights that i have come to love. Funimation once again does a great Dub job, with voice talent of Laura Bailey, Todd Haberkorn and Troy Baker added to the mix. My only complants is while most of the Supporting cast is well invested, there are some who are left out for most of the series. Another is the ending. Its an ok ending, but i do think it wouldn't kill the studio, Bones to do one additional episode. Overall this is a great, Funny series and is defenatly worth a by as something to Watch for Halloween, espesualy among Anime fans.
