    Soul Eater & Blassreiter

    Has anyone seen either of these animes before? My Otaku friend recommended them to me and I'm in the process of checkin'em out, but I thought I'd ask around to see if anyone has checked them already and if they're worth my time.

    Soul Eater:
    http://imdb.com/title/tt1214085/
    http://animenfo.com/animetitle,4196,...oul_eater.html



    Once upon a time, the world was almost ruined by an entity named “Kishin”. In order to ensure that it remains dormant, Shibusen, short for “SHInigami BUki SENmon gakko” (Collage of Death and Weapons), was founded by Shinigami-sama. All the students of Shibusen are required to make the Death Scythe, the weapon of Shinigami-sama. It is made from 99 souls that have become eggs of Kishin and one soul of a witch.

    Blassreiter
    http://animenfo.com/animetitle,4195,...assreiter.html



    In the near future, in a city in Germany, a series of mysterious incidents occur. Dead bodies revive and turn into grotesque monsters that assault people. The inhabitants are panicking, saying devils have appeared.

    During this time, those who are able to turn into grotesque monsters whilst still alive appear. They are accused of being devils, but they wield their powers with their personality intact. Some use their power for justice, some are driven by their own power, some use their power to realize their ambitions, and some use them to avenge themselves.

    However, whatever their wishes, they are imposed a severe fate. It is a battle royale for these people who turn into devils with their lives at stake.

    They use their power to survive and to accomplish their goals. However, while they continue using their power, the power eats into their human minds, and finally…

    I started a Blassreiter thread awhile ago, I thought the show cool but I stopped watching for some reason.. And Soul Eater is a favourite of some friends of mine..

    Caught the first episode of Soul Eater -- decent anime. I can see how a lot of people like it, but I'm not sure if I'll bother with it myself. It has too much gag-comedy, which I'm not a big fan of and the animation is a bit weird at times. The characters seem aight so far too, but I'm looking for a more serious, bloody, action-oriented anime as opposed to this comedic stuff.

    I actually just watched the first episode too, it is good, but I agree not enough seriousness. When you find one let me know..

    I have looked into Soul Eater many times sense it is a common topic among the anime forums. Though I found it to be horrible in just so many ways I can't even explain.

    I really hate how the animation of the other side looks. Just so silly, and I especially hate the reaper or whatever that guy with the skull is

    Well there is that and the portrayal of a bunch of 16 yeah old kids who have magical special abilities. Does anyone else notice the target audience for the popular anime getting younger over time?

    It does seem to be more youth oriented, however, the version I saw was the "late night" showing so it offered blood. Regardless, the animation itself was a bit childish.

    Got yea people should stop looking at the Soul eater and start concentrating on some of the greater anime they might have misses "say" Cowboy Bebop.

    Watched the first episode of Blassreiter yesterday and I thought it was aight. Better than soul eater, as it was more serious and had good action, but didn't like some of the CG animation and I'm not really big on animes involving mechanical units, be-it aliens, or demons or whatever. Probably won't watch any further :straightface2:
