The setting of »Soul Eater« is Shibusen University, whose students are so-called masters (Shokunin in the original). Each of them has some kind of living weapon as a partner and they all aim to make their weapon into a Death Scythe by scavenging the souls of evil people. But this is more of a motivational aid, because the real goal of the university is to prevent these souls from falling into the wrong hands - in the worst case into someone who is trying to use them to create a kishin, a kind of demon god. The anime now follows the adventures of the masters Maka, Black Star and Death the Kid with their respective partners Soul Eater, Tsubaki, Patty and Liz, all of whom are more or less seriously trying to save the world from its doom.
"Soul Eater" has a very interesting basic structure, but in the end it didn't really convince me.
I don't know exactly what it was.
The characters are well written, the animations are nice, and so are the fights, but something just didn't grab me.
