Story
To fight the evil Kisin ( Jap. 鬼神 Kisin , “ Demon ”, “Evil spirit”) , who can “plunge the world into the abyss of madness”, Shinigami- sama ( Jap. 死神 様 , “ Death ”, “the god of death”) creates The Academy is a place where the training of Weapons ( п 武器 beeches ) and Overlords ( . 人 ё shokunin , “worker”) takes place together. The first are the very weapons that will stop the destruction of the world; the second are those who will hold this weapon. Death Scythe ( デ デ サ イ イ Desu Sizu , Death Scythe) will turn out when the weapon eats 99 evil souls ready to become Kisin and 1 witch soul, and therefore all overlords actively compete in creating the Death Scythe.
The plot of Soul Eater Not!
The action takes place during the main events of manga and anime, Mack and Soul at that time had not yet become famous in the Academy and beyond. The main character becomes a young weapon girl named Tsugume, who first arrives at the academy and has never taken the form of a weapon. There, she soon meets Anna from a noble family and the simple-minded Meme and becomes their new partner. The main characters will learn how to work together and comprehend the art of Shibusen fighters.
Soul Eater Universe
The Soul Eater universe is a parody of the modern world. The many personalities that appear in this world are exaggerated versions of famous personalities or literary characters. The central object is, of course, the Shinigami Academy, located in the City of Death. The city itself is located in America, in the state of Nevada (in the manga). In its center, in the room of Death, Shinigami himself lives, students study at the academy itself. Moreover, students usually learn not what they need in the daily work of the Lord, and a lot depends on the whims of the teacher, which, obviously, is another parody element. The main task of students is to carry out tasks posted on a special board, which allow them to collect the souls of villains and witches.
One of the defining elements of the world is the presence of any creature with a soul that has an appearance, size and determines the nature and behavior of this creature. The stronger the will of the individual, the greater the soul. Some souls are able to enter into resonance, mutually reinforcing each other for a while. This is often used by the Lords and their Weapons in order to increase their combat effectiveness many times over.
Characters
The key characters are the three small groups of Overlords and Weapons and some significant individuals in the hierarchy of the Academy. Each character has a unique character and, it seems, in accordance with the idea of the authors, represents some features of the human soul . The character's character is strongly reflected in his appearance, and even stronger - in the appearance of his soul.
Anime
There is a day and night version of the television series. At night there are additional inserts with art from the creators of the series, jokes and sometimes advertisements (for example, with the announcement of the release date of the fighting game with Soul Eater characters).
