Soul Eater NOT! English Sub & Dub

About Soul Eater NOT!

Soul Eater NOT! arrives as an action anime by Bones (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Soul Eater NOT! is a spin-off and side story that takes place one year prior to the events of the original Soul Eater. At the Death Weapon Meister Academy, humans born with the power to transform into weapons and those with the ability to wield these weapons (Meisters) train to hone their natural talent.

Along the way, the characters of the main series are enrolled in the Especially Advantaged Talent class, where they train to become warriors of justice capable of defeating what threats prey on innocent lives—or even the entire world. Other pupils at the DWMA are less talented. Members of the Normally Overcome Target class focus less on being warriors of justice and more on controlling their abilities so they don't hurt themselves or anyone around them.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
