There always have been shows or movies that have had a completely unsatisfying end. For example, I hated how at the end of Spirited Away, from Studio Ghibli, the movie seems to wrap itself up very quickly. I felt like the ending wasn’t faithful to the whole tempo of the movie itself. Spirited Away has a slow moving past and unravels itself very smoothly but the end just kind of… ended. As if they ran out of time and decided to cut out some parts. Not to say it’s a bad movie, actually it is one of my personal fav from Studio Ghibli, but i feel like the end could had been worked a little more.
Overall, this kind of ending frustrates me. I wasn’t surprised at all when the anime Soul Eater offered me the same kind of ending. So very disappointed. When I realized that there were only 51 episodes and that i was at episode 51 all i could think of was, “How are they possibly going to be able to offer me a nice conclusion of all the sub and main stories from this anime in only 30minutes? All this while still giving a mind-blowing final battle?” Well, i believe they failed at the task, or at least, partially. Since there was so much going on, example, new characters, Maka’s quest to create a death scythes, Black Star wanting to surpass gods, Death the Kid and his own experimentation with weapons, unfinished duels and much more, they could easily have created a third season and even a fourth season. Adding new battle and quests on the way. This would have given them a chance to better develop there characters and give the story a well deserve conclusion. Instead, they just jam-packed everything into images at the end of the 51st episodes’ ending.I have to say though, I have not read the manga and therefor I don’t know how it ended and if they weren’t just being faithful written series. Even then, I feel it would need some correction.
Overall, this wasn’t a bad series, actually i still like it and recommend it to most people i know, but i just finished the series and boy am i ever disappoointed. So unsatisfying
I also recommend you watch the theme song from the first season. This is what initially got me hooked to the show and it is insane! I love how it goes so fast and the imagery is very strong for anime standards. One of the best anime opening i’ve seen so far. I have never skipped through this opening until season two came along. The first one was so good they just couldn’t do better.
p.s. I’m I the only one who thinks Soul’s character design was much better in season one than in season two? He just looks so bland compared to all the other characters in the second season.
