Was there ever a reason found out for this? I didn't check AoD's thread, but I probably should again. Also, I'm surprised the OP theme is being done by T.M.Revolution. Not that I don't like him, but it just doesn't seem like the kind of show that fits his style. Stance Punks sounds about right, though.

The fan service is pretty blatant in the beginning and in a certain episode further down the way. Other than that, you could argue that there are some violent scenes. It was guessed part of it was due to the moon's blood, but you can see it in the trailer. |

Soul Eater will be the big hit of the Spring season along with Code Geass R2 and Macross Frontier. As a manga reader who has read the first 22 chapters (chapters are 40-50 pages in length so it would be the equivalent of say 50 Bleach/Naruto chapters) I can honestly say that aside from Kekkaishi this is going to put every typical shonen anime from the last few years to shame.
Also I expect Medusa will go down as one of the best roles performed by Kuwashima Houko, that role will just be a showcase for her skills.
Hows that classic Gundam quote go when we see the new superior model Gouf MS... something like "this is no zaku!!, no zaku!!".. whatever it was replace zaku with Bleach.
I'm guessing this is what happens when you have time to go over your work and fix up earlier stuff. Being a monthly manga I'm sure he planned some stuff ahead of time but the author/Bones probably want to put in some foreshadowing.
Something like his Darker Than Black OP would've been alright but that was under that Abington Boys School group which is his more rockier sound. He seems to go with a europop/techno sound when he's T.M but I'll wait to I hear the suond before commenting. |

Oh wow, I didn't even realize that was the same guy! Now it all seems to obvious!  (And the info's right here on ANN.) But yeah, I'm not saying it's going to be an unfit OP until I see(hear) it for myself, but it just seems unfitting at a first glance.

That trailer was awesome. Man, I'm really getting excited about this one.
Yeah, Andrew Cunningham brought up the thing with the moon. But initially I had mentioned that maybe it was blood in general. I'm not familiar with the manga, so I don't know how graphic or bloody it is, but recently, a number of shows have gotten really sensitive about blood and a number of them have toned down the amount of blood and turned the blood to black. Even Bleach has done this. Post-Soul Society, the blood has been drastically reduced, to the point that people get impaled without bleeding at all, and most of the blood they do show is black. So I thought maybe the initial airing would have reduced violence like that while the latter showing would be uncut. Whether that's what they'll be doing remains to be seen. The original article mentioned additional scenes, which suggests extra footage, not altered footage. But it doesn't seem like there has been any information on what these extra scenes will actually be. |

Here's the first tv spot for Soul Eater featuring some new scenes as well as the OP by T.M Revolution which pretty much sounds like his stuff from Gundam SEED.

Just aired about 80 mins ago, impressions have been good so far from Japanese posters on some sites. I'll be back with my impressions in a few hours hopefully once I see the raw. Since this is based on the Maka & Soul Eater one shot I already know what will happen.

Just finished watching the raw, I hope Maka's VA improves quickly... anyway animation was great, op was awesome (needed more Medusa!!) and the music was fine. Blair = <3 and Maka's dad is a laugh. I'll be curious to see the differences between this and the uncut version and I'm looking forward to Blackstar making his debut next week :) Death the Kidd is going to be awesome in week 3 as well!

Just downloaded the raw in order to watch the OP. Are you kidding me?
 The OP is total win! I hope the subbed version is released quickly.

I did to hear all the commotion about Maka's VA. (lol @ my first raw since Karas.) Anyway, this is going to be one of the most freaking awesome series ever. What's funny (for me) is that I actually got what was going on, even though I usually just watch subs. I liked both theme songs, though obviously the OP more than the ED. And <3 Maka's dad!

I just watched the raw of the first episode. Truthfully, I didn't it was all that special, but that is not to say I think this anime will be bad. The first episode provided a nice taste to what the anime will be like and I am looking forward to episodes once the plot starts. (I'm also looking to Death the Kidd's introduction. He is pretty hilarious.) I thought the opening and closings were rather good. I was a little taken back when I first heard Maka's and Soul's voice actors. I was expecting something different, but I got used to them as the show went on. Anyway, I'll probably watch the first episode again once the subs come out for the late night edition episode. (I hope the late night edition isn't just over saturated with fan service. Added violence and such would be nice.)
Anyway, did anyone else see that this show will be running for 51 episodes. I'm psyched since I liked the manga. |
