YOOOOO HAPPY 2024!!!!! Sorry it took 2 months for this video but I keep making them longer than I mean to lmao. Thanks for riding with me in 2023 and if you’re new, dip ya toes in and stick around we about to be COOKING this year. Drop a like, a comment, a sub if you feeling nice about it, it goes a long way! Patreon is there too of course if you wanna get wacky. And as always, thanks for taking the time to watch my dumbass videos, it means the world to me!!
MAN, every time i see a soul eater video i want a remake like FMA brotherhood got, it deserves it SO MUCH and the darker turn the manga goes would be perfect for those kids that are now (like yourself, late 20's) (also deadman wonderland)
I love the progression of crona from disturbed teenager to straight up sleep, paralysis demon, like it gets pretty visceral at times and I eat that shit up.
I love the way this creator draws black characters especially there hairstyles which can be very hard to get right. His ability to tap into. Hip hop and graffiti style in general is also amazing and feels authentic
As much as I'm glad to see characters like Kilik and Noah, there is one part of the manga and anime where background characters are drawn in racist minstrel style. During the party where everyone gets trapped in the cube, the musicians... Another gripe is, at least in the dub, when Crona joins the school, Maka refers to Sid looking scary like "a big blue gorilla" which doesn't sit well since he's also a black character. Not sure if that's what the manga said.
@@TurnipsThe manga says "A big blue hoodlum gorilla" which is arguably worse (And at least twice as funny). Japanese people generally aren't known for their racial sensitivity and most never even see a black person face to face.
@@Turnipsi really don't get why everyone is so hung up on the musician. If he was the sole one to be "weird" then I'd get it. Buut. Every person in that band is weird! Look at the pianist the dude's hands are flipped! This is some cherry picking.
For fans of fire force and soul eater I would highly recommend Gachiakuta, the debut manga series from Kei Urana. It's a fairly new ongoing series by the former assistant of Ohkubo during the run of Fire Force and it has some of the same vibes as his work with the art and power system as she said she has taken lots of inspiration from him. Might not be for everyone but it's pretty enjoyable so far and with time will only improve. Ohkubo himself called Urana his successor if that gives any merit to the quality you can expect out of it.
It's definitely goes a way when the mangaka themselves says it..insted of it being "applied "to the work by fans. Then it will get lumped in with "rip off " or "unoriginal " the unoriginal argument for any work make me laugh at em.
I've been grappling with why I have so much more fondness and think so much about Soul Eater as compared with other Shounen, because "art style good" didn't quite seem to cover it. You've got the most relatable and eloquent breakdown I've seen.
Those 3 introduction episodes are among my favorite episodes of anything I've ever watched. Despite being disappointed with the latter part, there is just some exceptional spice going on on the beginning of Soul Eater. And the comedy, oh my god.
Growing up, nightmare before Christmas was more important. Having grown up, soul eater is way more emotion invoking and I love the aesthetic so much more.
Soul Eater was my first anime ever, and my first manga when i finally moved into reading that. The whole thing is pretty close to the heart from story to aesthetic. And despite all the various cool panels my favourite page remains the title page of Chapter 87"Just a Simple Story About Killing People" Just simple, clean madness in stick figure form
I love that I could watch the show as a teen and now as a man in my 30s, my daughter loves Soul Eater just as much and just the first three episodes sending her into a spiral of doing her own art, animations, and the like. I'm so proud and Soul Eater is what initially unlocked it. Even my toddler has apparently become super into the "spooky aesthetic" (She absolutely loves zombies, Halloween, etc) and while she might be too young to actually watch the series, she still loves all of the art and design of the show.
Never did I think you'd cover Soul Eater but MAAAAAAAAAAN, this hit home. Soul Eater was definitely the first anime Ive ever watched that made me want to keep getting into it. It influences so much of my art in ways I can't explain honestly. Great video as always man, its always a blast hearing your retrospectives
Thanks for the shout out. I had a very similar experience with Soul Eater. I watched the first 15 episodes ish, then dropped it, even though it checks a lot of boxes for me. This video certainly makes me want to pick up the series again cause I feel like what happened when I revisited One Piece will happen again with Soul Eater.
This was a great break down of a series that found a place in my heart just like Dragon ball and sailor moon did. I was very disappointed that a anime that I could re watch ended with filler, it just killed the vibe that was produced through the series. Thanks for the great video.
You nailed it. Ohkubo-sensei has so much charm, so much talent, and so much vibe that i never thought you could put it into words, cause lord knows i have trying to get my friends into his works. You've earned a sub and like!
OMG I LOVED THE ANIME, deffinitly my aesthetic as well. PLUS that famous this is halloween amv *chefs kiss* Although god I shipped maka and soul sooo hard I was so pissed they were never canon.
So glad this was on my recommended, this video is so well made and detailed plus I see you've made a video on one of my old faves, Zatch Bell? Yeah this is an automatic sub from me
My God you never fail to make an impressive video. I love soul eater's whole aesthetic from its Halloween wives to it's kind of Urban style . From what I heard he declares solitaire my create another mongol called soul world but who knows if that's true anyway once again great video man keep it
Fuuuuuckin' beautiful video, my man! I got into anime pretty late and this was one of the few I started off with. Watching this video not only did I learn a lot about Soul Eater itself and Atsushi Ohkubo, but more importantly you reminded me of why I loved it so much - especially aesthetically.
Justin Law is probably my favorite character in Soul Eater, even if he serves mostly to contrast with characters such as Crona, his desing, combat scenes and even his fall to madness is just so fucking cool.
Man i was already enjoying the video and vibing with the 2000's feel you mentioned, finally opening my eyes to why i like it so much, then you hit me in the brain with VtMB Vesuvius theme, peak video
Soul Eater was 100% one of my favorite and most formative manga/anime’s growing up. You did an incredible job covering it and now I wanna go out and buy the whole series lol can’t wait to watch more reviews and sink back into my anime roots🎉
YES, THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING BLACK⭐STAR'S GREATNESS!!! He was one of my first cosplay, back in 2010 (ouch), and I've always felt a deep connection to him.
9:53- what makes this manga unique is that it doesn’t do just one major protagonist intro chapter- it does three back to back to understand who they are fundamentally and their dynamics. And it’s about these potential main characters bouncing off each other for the rest of the series- with each having a major focus without downplaying the other- sure Maka is at the top, but the other two are never treated like sidekicks
I will say this, this video's release was extremely convenient because, i finished the first volume of soul eater a couple of days ago, and i ended up enjoying it a lot! Now that I've seen your video about the series, i'm even more motivated to experience this series through to the end! And for that, i thank you!
OK IMPORTANT UPDATE! After two months of reading, I've finally finished the series and gotta say, it greatly surpassed my expectations! Despite not expecting it, soul eater has all of the makings of a great manga for me! From the world, the characters, the art, the story and themes, all "resonated" with PERFECTLY! It's as if this manga was kind of made for me, and to top it all of with an extremely filling finale, made this series go from a 8.5/10 to a 9/10. Also here are some small side notes. Black star is PEAK! Soul and Maka are easily in my top ten protagonists of all time, I love the resolution between the DWMA and the witches and I love the way Stein's and Marie's relationship evolved. Most importantly however, I gotta thank you @SlimeFancypants for motivating me even further to finish this! I've been a regular viewer ever since the trigun video, (I love that series too btw), and I love everything about your videos. Keep at it man!
I needed a long form soul eater video, this was perfect it's still one of my top series Fire Force following after, awesome video. As a gen z i never really grown up with the things you mentioned but am aware of their relevance to teens of the prior generation and it was a lot of fun hearing it from someone who was, this series bleach and kingdom hearts feeding into my inspirations for both stories and art (and air gear is slowly creeping up there) the vibes of all of these are great but Soul Eater's especially are my the ones that make me feel at ease despite madness, seeing the cast do their thing always hits
I'm glad I found this video in my recommended list for one of my favorite manga/anime of all time. I've been praying for a remake and hope its anounced this year. I'm so fond of Soul Eater not just because of the 2000s astetics becuase I remember when it was on Netflix it's one of my first anime's I watched with my Elder Brother. When I read the manga it made me fall head over heels for the series. Me watching this video is just a another justification and why I love this series so much. It also justifes me creating my Crossover fic with Toaru and Soul Eater on my channel.
Resonance and Papermoon were and still are my emo anthems lol. I just watched the series again a few years ago and honestly after watching this I might have to again; tho I am still waiting for either a new adaptation or a continuation of the story from where the og series left off since I've heard there's a ton more to the manga story than the anime got to cover. Also I absolutely need one of those art books, I might have to sell my plasma to afford it, but it's 100% worth it to me. The different artworks you've shown throughout are just beyond impressive in every way to me, and I've always enjoyed the art style and aesthetic surrounding Soul Eater ❤
Bro I truly enjoy your depiction of my favorite anime is in Mangus. Please keep up the great work I see you doing nation every time you release the video.
Happy 2024, this week I was looking up Soul Eater and curious about the series. This video made me more interested into Soul Eater and now currently the manga.
32:41 this right here! I hear the argument a lot that you can't expect POC characters in manga because they're Japanese, so to hear an actual Japanese artist state that there are not enough black characters is refreshing. and on the topic notice how this argument never extends to white presenting characters, why are there so many British, French, American, and Italian anime characters in manga if Japanese people are so limited by their own culture?
When it came time for you to talk about blackstar you better believe i turned the volume up like THATS MY BOY THATS MY JAM LET ME HEAR YOU SING HIS PRAISES !
Another banger video dude 👍🏾 i remembered loving tgis series. I still never saw fire fighter or whatever it's called. I have it saved on some streaming site 🤷🏾♀️ I'll hit it up one day bro. Soul eater not was good too. A bit slower then the og one. But i enjoyed it
Yanno it's interesting, I remember enjoying Maka's japanese VA bc compared to any other young teenage girl I'd heard in anime up until that point she was the first to actually sound her age, which in retrospect probably had to do with the VA being so inexperienced at the time. She just came off as very authentic to me, and it probably helped that I was still kinda new to the japanese language so I had very little point of reference to what made for good convincing voice acting (as long as it didn't sound way too wooden it was all good)
I got into the anime when I was 7 in 2014 and basically fell in love, crona was my first fictional crush and I wanted to mimick the art soooo bad. But also learning it took place in Nevada was hilariously fitting for me. TikTok reignited my fixation on the series and I’ve decided to start collecting the manga, just ordered the first 2 volumes I’m so excited
I'll say D. Gray man is equal to Soul Eater in terms of Halloween Aesthetic. Maybe soul eater more because it has more pumpkins but that's it. Both awesome Halloween anime
I’m 27 and if I was a Mangaka I’d literally be self published with producing a story that’s half Shounen action half porn. Looks like his love for Fan-Service hasn’t changed in the almost two decades since Soul Eater and Fire Force.
Lol man the fan service in fire force made it hard for me to take it serious, however I watched soul eater a looong time ago an forgot that it was even associated with fan service at all.
21:50 was not expecting Death City to be located in the same state as Madness Combat(I know the 2 properties are completely unrelated, but given the title "Madness Combat" and the general themes of Soul Eater it's a neat coincidence)
Good work needs more time? Who cares, let it take the time it needs, that's what the Tenjou Tenge/Air Gear video proved. So hey, a video takes 2 months? That's real work.
I'm bad at words so the only way I can describe Soul Eater (particularly the art style) is that it pours cold water on my brain. Not a night goes by where I don't thank this series for fucking up my fashion sense in the best way possible. Something in my brain flips a switch when I wear the most punkass Urban Goth style I can get my dry little claws on. ANYWAY. I think my best shitty Soul Eater related fact is that since Death City is in Nevada, it's entirely possible for almost any given character in the series to have been to the Clown Motel.
D.Gray-Man is my absolute favorite manga of all time and it's testing my patience every three months XD. But gosh if it's worth it. Let's all hope it reaches its desired ending. I absolutely need a video debating how freking awesome it is!
This is the first actual anime i watched fully my buddies brother had the whole series and let me and my brother borrow it to watch i immediatly fell in love with the series death being my favorite character and what probably proppelled my love for anime as well
I can't watch the rest of this video because I want to go check out Soul Eater in its entirety!! Guess I know what I'm asking for for my birthday this year
YOOOOO HAPPY 2024!!!!! Sorry it took 2 months for this video but I keep making them longer than I mean to lmao. Thanks for riding with me in 2023 and if you’re new, dip ya toes in and stick around we about to be COOKING this year. Drop a like, a comment, a sub if you feeling nice about it, it goes a long way!

What's manga's next
MAN, every time i see a soul eater video i want a remake like FMA brotherhood got, it deserves it SO MUCH and the darker turn the manga goes would be perfect for those kids that are now (like yourself, late 20's) (also deadman wonderland)
One piece is getting it before it's even finished. Then Soul Eater can get it
My friend and I talk about this all the time
He keeps telling me to just read the manga
Man, Deadman Wonderland deserves another go at it like FMA.
@@Shadowwall This !!
I was listening to the OP a couple days ago after nostalgia hit me outta nowhere 😭
Soul Eater:Resonance would be the perfect title too
The best unintentional joke in the series I that of Crona's gender being forgotten by Ohkubo.
I love the progression of crona from disturbed teenager to straight up sleep, paralysis demon, like it gets pretty visceral at times and I eat that shit up.
I love the way this creator draws black characters especially there hairstyles which can be very hard to get right. His ability to tap into. Hip hop and graffiti style in general is also amazing and feels authentic

Also I'm pretty sure fire force is a prequel to soul eater
Just checked it out. 9 chapters in already and can't get enough. Thanks for this
It's better than Soul eater
It's definitely goes a way when the mangaka themselves says it..insted of it being "applied "to the work by fans. Then it will get lumped in with "rip off " or "unoriginal " the unoriginal argument for any work make me laugh at em.
Soul Eater needs the Brotherhood treatment.
I've been grappling with why I have so much more fondness and think so much about Soul Eater as compared with other Shounen, because "art style good" didn't quite seem to cover it. You've got the most relatable and eloquent breakdown I've seen.
YES YES another UA-camr making a Soul eater video,more MORE feed the algorithm and maybe we'll get a REBOOT!......great video too
appreciate you!!
"If the vibes are good" *immediately shows Mashle OP 2*
Aight, I'm sold
Those 3 introduction episodes are among my favorite episodes of anything I've ever watched. Despite being disappointed with the latter part, there is just some exceptional spice going on on the beginning of Soul Eater. And the comedy, oh my god.
Ima say it. Soul eater was more important to me growing up than nightmare before Christmas.
Real
Growing up, nightmare before Christmas was more important. Having grown up, soul eater is way more emotion invoking and I love the aesthetic so much more.
Soul is still part of my gamertag, 13+ years later
this show's ost is like 50 tracks large and all of them are straight up bangers. hip hop/j rock/classical ost - ???? what is not there to love
Soul Eater was my first anime ever, and my first manga when i finally moved into reading that. The whole thing is pretty close to the heart from story to aesthetic. And despite all the various cool panels my favourite page remains the title page of Chapter 87"Just a Simple Story About Killing People"
Just simple, clean madness in stick figure form

Bro, sucha great choice in background music to fully round off the 90s ascetic. SotN was such a great game
It takes a real homie to drop a reference to Shaman King; you officially have my attention.
I loved soul eater when I watched it when younger, couldn’t find anything else quite like it
Thanks for the shout out. I had a very similar experience with Soul Eater. I watched the first 15 episodes ish, then dropped it, even though it checks a lot of boxes for me.

Love to see the appreciation for my favourite manga.
OH GOD THIS WAS THE FIRST ANIME I EVER WATCHED TO IT'S FULLEST THANK YOU SLIMEY FOR THIS NOSTALGIA ICBM TO MY HEART!!!
BRO SAME!
(Not counting Pokemon/Yugioh lol)
It was the first series that I followed AS ANIME!
49:00 Black Star would say, “I AM!!! AND SHE IS!!!” (Speaking about tsubaki)
You nailed it. Ohkubo-sensei has so much charm, so much talent, and so much vibe that i never thought you could put it into words, cause lord knows i have trying to get my friends into his works.
You've earned a sub and like!
YOU ACTUALLY MADE IT TYSM
this one’s for you homie 🤝
i watched soul eater as one of my first animes and it threw me hard into the alt scene and to this day heavily influences my style
OMG I LOVED THE ANIME,
deffinitly my aesthetic as well.
PLUS that famous this is halloween amv *chefs kiss*
Although god I shipped maka and soul sooo hard I was so pissed they were never canon.
So glad this was on my recommended, this video is so well made and detailed plus I see you've made a video on one of my old faves, Zatch Bell? Yeah this is an automatic sub from me

You got me with the SpongeBob meme. It show me how invested you were
Dude our tastes in manga are so close. I love your videos, it makes me want to make videos too
Love your videos and love soul eater, thank you!
ps: Medusa was my awakening into loving women who will actually kill me
We have similar taste 🤝 thank you!!
Women who will actually just kill me are the best women, love me a scary lady
You just talked about Get Backers, made my day, in fact you made my whole year a bit happier. That manga deserves a whole video!

Blackstar is probably my favorite anime character of all time. His arc and growth throughout the manga is great. He even matures.
Excellent video. I especially appreciated the breakdown on the artistic influences.
Soul Eater started my love for eye designs :P
Justin Law is probably my favorite character in Soul Eater, even if he serves mostly to contrast with characters such as Crona, his desing, combat scenes and even his fall to madness is just so fucking cool.
Great video to kick off the new year!!!!
Man i was already enjoying the video and vibing with the 2000's feel you mentioned, finally opening my eyes to why i like it so much, then you hit me in the brain with VtMB Vesuvius theme, peak video

He was one of my first cosplay, back in 2010 (ouch), and I've always felt a deep connection to him.
Thanks for being a channel worth getting a Patreon account for, I'm not even a huge anime fan the effort you put in makes it worth every second

Best soul eater video I’ve watched to this date 10/10

Only ever read the first volume but a LOT of people have asked for that one… may need to look into it 👀
@SlimeFancypants ohh nice don't you already have most of the physical copies? I think I saw some in your massive collection video 😆 🤣
"blood running out of the moon's mouth" - okay, i can stop the video and buy the series now
This was a really entertaining video, thank you.
When it came time for you to talk about blackstar you better believe i turned the volume up like THATS MY BOY THATS MY JAM LET ME HEAR YOU SING HIS PRAISES !
Another banger video dude 👍🏾 i remembered loving tgis series. I still never saw fire fighter or whatever it's called. I have it saved on some streaming site 🤷🏾♀️ I'll hit it up one day bro. Soul eater not was good too. A bit slower then the og one. But i enjoyed it
FINALLY!!! 🙌🏼
BEEN COOKIN
I was NOT expected to be given flashbacks to my cringey scene phase in a deep dive on soul eater
Both the anime and manga have some of the best stylized weapon combat I've ever seen
So glad this was on my recommended this morning, this video is so well detailed 🍹🍺
OMFG LETS GOOOOOO A SOUL EATER VIDEO

I’m 27 and if I was a Mangaka I’d literally be self published with producing a story that’s half Shounen action half porn. Looks like his love for Fan-Service hasn’t changed in the almost two decades since Soul Eater and Fire Force.
Lol man the fan service in fire force made it hard for me to take it serious, however I watched soul eater a looong time ago an forgot that it was even associated with fan service at all.
Soul eater was the anime that dragged me back into watching anime again.
So what you’re telling me is that I should definitely watch Soul Eater.
im glad i subscribed to this channel
Same!
21:50 was not expecting Death City to be located in the same state as Madness Combat(I know the 2 properties are completely unrelated, but given the title "Madness Combat" and the general themes of Soul Eater it's a neat coincidence)
Interesting video! Very insightful!
This is so awesome
Good work needs more time? Who cares, let it take the time it needs, that's what the Tenjou Tenge/Air Gear video proved. So hey, a video takes 2 months? That's real work.
I'm bad at words so the only way I can describe Soul Eater (particularly the art style) is that it pours cold water on my brain.
Not a night goes by where I don't thank this series for fucking up my fashion sense in the best way possible. Something in my brain flips a switch when I wear the most punkass Urban Goth style I can get my dry little claws on.
ANYWAY. I think my best shitty Soul Eater related fact is that since Death City is in Nevada, it's entirely possible for almost any given character in the series to have been to the Clown Motel.
D.Gray-Man is my absolute favorite manga of all time and it's testing my patience every three months XD. But gosh if it's worth it. Let's all hope it reaches its desired ending. I absolutely need a video debating how freking awesome it is!
your very talented at making videos
it’s so funny we had the exact opposite taste in characters, maka was my fav while black star being my least favorite
great vid! thank you
The fan service adds a certain of “spice” 🙏
😂😂😂😂 why do you have the playonline music at 21:00 what a BLAST from my past
This is the first actual anime i watched fully my buddies brother had the whole series and let me and my brother borrow it to watch i immediatly fell in love with the series death being my favorite character and what probably proppelled my love for anime as well
Nah, I love Excalibur. He's the ULTIMATE TORTURE TOOL! How can I not love this guy?
GetBackers mentioned, we ride
Real ones know 🤝
@@SlimeFancypants Man, I need to go reread that series. Especially to see Hevn again. 😂
bro hearing danganronpa music in the wild is rlly like being hit by a truck
This is the series that got me into anime 13 years ago
I can't watch the rest of this video because I want to go check out Soul Eater in its entirety!! Guess I know what I'm asking for for my birthday this year
man i would never think any song from danganronpa 3 would ever fit into a video out of danganronpa genre
