If you keep an open a mind to it, you might even enjoy it more than other long running shounen like ‘One Piece’ or ‘ Naruto‘. So to put it simply, ‘Soul Eater’ is the kind of anime that allows you to enjoy the elements of your typical shounen along with some fresh and unique segments of its own. It is no way sudden but I wouldn’t call it subtle either. But considering the execution of the ending of the season - without giving out any spoiler - I would just say that it could’ve been better.
It does not even direct you towards a “Read the Manga for more” ending instead, it picks up an original story right where it leaves the manga and continues to fascinate you even more than it did before. But unlike most of the other shows, ‘Soul Eater’ does not abruptly announce a hiatus waiting for a new manga to release. Like many other anime series, this one was released when the manga was still in publication. For a good amount of time, the anime follows a standard shounen plot and from what I know, till this point, it actually follows the source material.
The plot is something that I wouldn’t describe as entirely repetitive, but it still cannot be considered unique or inventive. ‘Soul Eater’ refuses to take this route and though it does have its own share of fan service moments that sporadically appear during the first half of the show, it completely avoids bringing in even the slightest of ecchi in the second half. The bust size of the female leads magically begin to grow and even their screen presence is often doubled after a while. If you look at most other anime of this genre, their emphasis on fan-service goes on increasing with time.
