I really don’t have enough to say to warrant episode by episode summaries. Part of this is that everything that is good about it (the design, animation and direction) is consistently good, and I’d just be reiterating the same points over and over again.
The other part is that, the story just chugs along like your bog-standard shonen adventure manga 101. Episode 4 and 5 reintroduce one character that we briefly met in the prologue episodes, albeit in a new form and set up the introduction of the main teacher character. Episode 6 has Death The Kid get into a fight with Black Star and Soul Eater, and while nicely animated, it’s nothing special in the writing.
Episode 7 steps it up a notch with the introduction of an actual antagonist for the characters, the androgynous Chrona and their weapon Ragnarok, and for the first time in the series you get the feeling something is at stake. Hopefully this raises the actual level of drama for the series, and avoids making it something on the level of the Shaman King or Black Cat adaptations (albeit much better made).
Also, this: My prediction of this being the next highly cosplayed series over here, seems correct. At the MCM Expo there were a fair number of Soul Eater cosplays, far more than you’d expect for a show that’d only been on air for 6 weeks in Japan at the time. Admittedly, the manga could be the reason, but if that was the case we’d have seen more at earlier events. Seems like we could be seeing a lot of Makas, Death The Kids and Dr Franken Steins over the next year…
