I just finished Soul Eater. Absolutely incredible manga, I loved every minute of it. I know I'm like 10 years late to the party but I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.
Can we have a Soul Eater thread? I don't know what there is to discuss but I still wanted to make at least one thread. I wish we could get a new anime adaptation of the series that covers the entire manga start to finish.
was it not one of the most popular series during its publication?
also, not having a modern faithful anime adaptation probably keeps it from being super mainstream, considering most people watch anime instead of read manga.

The soul eater manga is great and I'm happy every time someone mentions it. Sadly not much to discuss and what's even worse Ohkubo quit being a mangaka.
Oh yeah the most hype moment for me what when Maka used her Dad as a weapon during the final fight. I wanted to see that happen throughout the entire series and was worried i was going to be disappointed but then it happened.
favorite character was definitely Stein, and my favorite weapon/meister pair besides Maka/Soul was Kim and Jackie. a lantern is such a cool idea for a weapon.
Interesting, maybe I will give it a read if it's good.

Ohkubo has a really great sense for style. I feel like his works incorporate the "meta" of manga in an interesting way. A mediocre example being how soul resonance is basically an in universe explanation for the power of friendship.

You could also watch the anime up to ~episode 36, then switch over the manga. After episode 36 is when the anime studio started making up their own stuff because they had urn out of source material.
for me, its Tsubaki. Shes the cutest girl and best weapon partner

Mifune has the coolest sword style I have ever seen in any medium. I highly doubt it will ever be topped. I know it would be incredibly difficult to animate Black Star v. Mifune 3 but goddamn was I still disappointed that they didn't
Honestly after FF's ending I can say I'm satisfied with what he's done and he deserves to retire. Being a mangaka is a hard job so having two solid pieces of work under your belt is good for him

is FF worth reading I remember soul eater going sour around the noa arc
One of my favourite manga. I especially love the whole "madness is power". Designs are pretty nice too. Special mention for the book covers too, the last ones get darker and darker until pitch black and the last volume is white again. Love that kind of thing.

Shit filler ending, needs to be redone
