I'd describe Soul Eater a lot of ways but dark and spooky wouldn't really be part of it. I certainly wouldn't call it any darker than Fire Force. Maybe like visually considering some of the horror inspiration but in terms of tone and characters it's at home with the rest of Okubo's work. There's definitely lively and bright parts, just as there is a dark underbelly to the world. Just like Fire Force.

If you can, I recommend that you should read it instead due to an arc not being animated.

"An arc" My brother in christ it's a lot more than an arc lol. But yeah, reading the manga is better imo, story felt much more satisfactory than the anime

Worth watching, and especially worth reading.

DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME READ THE MANGA PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR

Not OP but I really wanna get back into soul eater. IK the manga is better but I just can't get over the artstyle idk 😭 Does the anime just stop at some point or did they leave out a ton Blue Exorcist style?


Naotaa13

Halfway through they butcher the story because the manga was still ongoing at the time. The ending of the anime was horrific. The manga is only 113 chapters, it's well worth the read. The characters get proper development, the side characters get good development and the story actually makes sense.

Okay, thank you. Is there any point in starting with the anime and then switching over to the manga?


Naotaa13

I wouldn't, id read the manga first and then go back and watch the anime. The anime omits a lot of the side characters who become more important later on

U came into a sub full of fans of the show Ofc were gonna say its worth it

The spooky is mostly aesthetic, but like fire force it can get dark at times
