Soul Eater

Beautiful artwork.

That is probably the most prominent feature of Soul Eater. But it's not it's only feature. This series has one of the most unique stories of what would be considered a typical battle manga I've read. Character development is key, along with themes of evil, insanity, and their infectious spread.

Don't worry though, it is pretty light hearted as well. Humor is spaced through out to keep the mood from being too foreboding. Permalink " "

In my humble opinion, the anime is actually *better* than the manga.
Don't get me wrong, Soul Eater's jam packed with style, and the artwork is quirky enough to set it apart. Each character's even got a lovable personality flaw--like maka's fastidiousness, black star's ego, and (my personal favorite) death the kid's OCD.

Still, I feel that Bones nailed soul eater's essence it so well, that with the music, cartoony backgrounds, and cg effects, you won't even want to go back to the manga once you've watched the show. So, really, I don't personally think Soul's a great read, but if you're not going to watch the anime do read it because the story and characters are fascinating.

I don't agree with you, shrimpy, I think the manga is better than the anime under many aspects, like the drawings and the story (I didn't like final part of the anime, when the story changes from the manga)
