Soul Eater NOT!

review 1: Alright, this is my first review from my iPhone's goodread's app!You know...the same app that updates the wrong status to the wrong book at the worst of times...T_T For this review, I hope for the best!Anyway, if this does end up being a pretty lengthy review, it just proves that I handled all the ninjetic typing over an iPhone screen. (Keyboards are way more comfortable!)Anyway...Soul Eater NOT...My dearies, I started Soul Eater (the anime) not too long ago. IT WAS AWESOME!!! It ranks as #3 on my favorite anime list! (After Lovely Complex and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.)And...I love Soul Eater (the character with white hair). GAAAAAAAAAH he's so ninja.The anime is just really awesome. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE WHO LIKE THINGS LIKE NARUTO...and Bleach...and anyt... morehing else thats action-like.Anyway, after all that action you get from Soul Eater...you get a series that's NOT Soul Eater...that's like a total GIRLY VERSION!!!I got this copy from my local library. I zipped through it. And through the whole thing, I was like...WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!If you've read or watched the original Soul Eater before, you'd notice that this version is way different. It seems more shoujo. Even the cover is pink.The main girl in this series...Tsu...(forgot her name. DERP) is a weapon that can't really control how she transforms, so she's at the academy to train so that she can control it and live a normal life.I mean if she doesn't learn how, one day, shed probably suddenly just shift into weapon form and it'd probably scare people!!So this is pretty interesting. It starts at the beginning when she first arrives at the academy. Unlike the original Soul Eater where on the first sight of the main characters, they're already all ninja-trained and HOOOOOYAAAH!Overall...this story is a little girlier, and it's probably because there's more girls, and more pink...It's so different from Soul Eater! And...T_T I sorta miss Soul Eater. There was a crossover with Maka and Soul Eater in this series, but...this series isn't based on them anymore, so...NOOOOOOO I don't think Maka and Soul Eater will make big appearances in this manga.I was so focused on Maka and Soul that I couldn't even remember the main girl's name...(sigh).But I should probably finish watching the anime before I continue reading Soul Eater NOT.3 stars. It was okay, yeah. Interesting idea. New characters. The art's cute.But I did honestly find myself skimming through a little of it.If you've finished Soul Eater (wait, it's still ongoing, isn't it?) and you want more, give NOT a try.Heeeeh!! Boring review! I'll stick to computer/keyboard reviews.
review 2: This takes place around the same time the regular Soul Eater manga takes place, except it follows different main characters. Every once and a while though, you'd see your old favorites (Maka, Soul, Black Star, Kim, Ox, etc. No Kid for this volume though. :( ) and that was a nice touch. I really enjoyed this manga, but the artwork was extremely poor. However, Atsushi Ohkubo is known to have crappy artwork, so I ignored it. If you love Soul Eater, pick up this charming spin-off series. less
