Help Me Anime Fans!!!
So I recently listened to the song Dareka Umiwo by Aimer on Spotify. I know it’s an anime EP but the background instrumental part sounds sooooo familiar.
It reminds me of credit music possibly on a (live action) scary movie. If anyone has anyyyy input please let know.

if they announce a special edition 10 year anniversary rerelease of soul eater you can bet your ass i’m spending top dollar
Sameee
When I see this, and I wonder if Soul stays quiet because it’s just his personality or if it’s because he’s already made it clear he would go back to human form to save Maka without hesitation.
At this point, I got used to be emotionally destroyed by each Violet Evergarden episode.

March Comes in Like a Lion
3/1/2018
Why I love “March Comes in Like a Lion” (3-gatsu no lion)
So, I’ve been watching and almost analyzing a lot of live action films in search on one that will make me feel as strong emotions as some anime do, and I have come up short. But there is an anime that I have watched that has, in my opinion, accurately displayed what it is like to be depressed. Obviously every situation of depression is unique and has its own factors. But the way March Comes in Like a Lion can make me feel such strong emotions has lead it to being me second favorite anime/manga (second, of course, to Soul Eater).
Warning: Spoilers
I’m not quite sure how to sum up my feelings for this show so I am going to divide it into 3 reasons why I love it.
1. The Art
The various art styles of the show give me chills. I have never watched an anime and been blown away by the art, until I watched this anime. Now even shows that I have watched before it are appearing in a new light. The art style feels almost soft to me most of the time, but occasionally it will slip into this monochrome style that makes me feel this awkward balance of clarity while having no idea whats going on (Yeah, I know that doesn’t actually make any sense). At first some of the art style bugged me. But now it has carved it’s own spot in my heart to where I am now looking for similar beauty in other anime.
2. The Emotion
I loved the way emotions were portrayed in this anime and the extent to which I was able to relate to them.
Hina’s outcry of emotion at the bridge gave me chills, the choice to start that scene silent at first was a phenomenal one as it allowed me to feel the emotion in a way where it felt like it was reflecting my own emotions back at me. I have been swamped with the daily tasks in my life and have been working so hard to be strong and confident at my work place that I often have to bottle up my emotions until I am away and can let them poor out. Seeing Hina pour her emotions out was simultaneously comforting and heartbreaking.
Rei’s emotions as a whole feel real to me. He has fun, there are people he cares about. But there is another world below the surface. He seems to not mind eating alone away from everyone else and mentions that he prefers it at one point. I used to do the same thing. During meals I would eat away from everyone else so I could eat and move on to other things If my friends were able to eat at the same time, I would eat with them so that they wouldn’t bug me about eating alone.
Rei living on his own is something that I thought was going to be a boring background part. I thought it would be like many anime where the parents are somehow never home and he is just relaxing, but that’s not the case. He had a family and the loss of them doesn’t seem like something he has processed or grieved. He had his adoptive family, but that environment just created more tensions in his life. He chooses to live alone, and that isolation can be haunting.
This specific quote: “Their house is like a kotatsu. When I am inside, it’s so warm and comfortable, I almost melt. But when I leave, I realize the daily life I was fine with before is actually freezing cold, and I’m painfully reminded of that.”
This quote can summarize my current state in life. There are people who have poured the colors of their presence into my life and because of them, I dread the possibility that they won’t be a part of my life forever. Because of the friends I’ve made, I dread the isolation that is my apartment. And seeing Rei in his apartment alone scraping for food (even though he can easily afford more food) is crippling.
The thing about this quote, however, is that I do not see it as a bad place to be. It serves as an inspiration for me in some weird way because it reminds me that the bottom, the isolation, is just that: the bottom. and there is no place to go but up. There are people in Rei’s life that will serve as beacons of color on an otherwise grey ocean. And he is a better person because of the experiences he has had with them.
3. The comic relief
My third reason I love this anime/manga is a much more positive one. The comic relief that this show offers consists funny goofy scenes that take away from the tension and add fun while still being able to go back to the serious scenes in transitions that feel natural. The cats have voices for their thoughts and are constantly either “starving” or are so full that they’re bloated and passed out. It is grand.
Nikaidou’s character is complex, but often when he is on the screen he is talking about his rivalry with Rei or claiming that they are super close friends. His character is fun and charismatic and makes me want to have a rival that I become best friends with “because that’s what happens in boys manga”. It is lighthearted and beautiful.
It is these bright colorful moments that make the low points in the show feel even lower (like a heater makes the cold feel colder)
Overall, this anime and manga has become one of my favorites because of the deep level in which I can relate to it. It has inspired me to reach out to those I care about and make sure they have colors and warmth in their life. It displays the roller coaster of emotions that is daily life and it gives me hope that I will find more people in my life that make everything seem brighter. I can be laughing at the cats one minute as they walk around Akari, then clenching my chest the next minute as Hina talks about witnessing a friend being bullied and how she is pained by it. All with transitions that feel realistic as if they are portraying events happening in someones actual life.
It is beautiful.
It is deep.
And I love every second of it.

Why I love Soul Eater
I’ve really wanted to start a series of posts about why I love various anime/manga and how they relate to my experiences, so I figured I would start with my favorite.
I’m going to explain the 3 main reasons I love Soul Eater. WARNING: Lots of potential spoilers for the anime and manga.
1. Souls
The concept of souls as portrayed in Soul Eater reflects very much how I perceive souls in real life, in a very forward and creative way. The idea of souls being good or bad, resonating, maybe not the eating souls part. I love the concept of “A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body”. That was a mantra that got me through a rough spot in my life, which was conveniently around the time a started watching Soul Eater.
2. Character Relationships
The dynamics between the characters are beautiful. I love the way that Soul and Maka treat each other. I am a die hard SoMa fan, but even if I wasn’t I am still charmed by their friendship. They bicker nonstop but would do anything for each other. I’m going to stop here on this point for now, because I will touch on this much more in point number 3.
One of the dynamics that I loved, but was also hurt by the most was that of Black*Star and Kid. Black*Star’s jealousy or need to surpass kid struck a chord in me. When I was in college I had a friend who achieved everything I wanted to and I was terribly jealous. We were always interested in the same positions and accomplishments and I always took second place to her, but she was still one of my best friends who helped me and inspired me to the ends of the world. So seeing the dynamic of two friends who cared about each other but still had that underlying jealously-and got through it had a special place in my heart.
I loved that the character relationships branched out and were widespread. It wasn’t just meister and weapon scenes. You got to see Tsubaki talk to Maka about Black*Star, Black*Star and Kid go after Excalibur. Maka and Kid bond over seeing a monkey soul. They were truly a group of friends and it was portrayed super well for such a (relatively) short series.
3. Soul “Eater” Evans
Warning: This section is going to be a lot of my theories. You may not agree with them, that is okay. I just want to share my thoughts. <3
Okay where to begin? This really is the big reason that this show holds a special place in my heart. I love the character of Soul Evans. As far as I am concerned, the show and manga revolve around him and his character development in a way that allows him to be the thing that ties it all together without being the focus the whole time (less is more sometimes).
In the beginning Soul is a goofball. He jokes around, makes fun of Maka, and looks like a guy who is trying too hard to be cool. He makes it clear that it is a weapons job to protect the meister and he does that. He saves Maka from Chrona’s attack and I feel like that lead to a change in his character that followed. He was still goofy, he made jokes about Maka still and they still bickered. But he never showed a sign of regret, because he didn’t regret it.
Throughout the anime and manga, he changes. He goes from being confrontational and bickering and poking fun at things. To being serious when everything around them got serious as well. He starts to stay back and observe and allow Maka to solve her own problems unless he felt she actually needed him to step in. When Sid told Maka about Chrona, Soul overheard it but didn’t say anything until it was effecting her ability to make decisions.
Maka is obviously a main character on her own. but a lot of things she did went back to Soul. Soul at one points says that becoming partners with Maka was the start of his courage and it is represented by the song he played when they first met.
Soul can relate to Chrona and I find that fascinating. After the battle between Chrona and Maka during the Kishin revival, Soul makes a comment about how even he can understand the fear of getting close to people. When I watch Maka help Chrona get comfortable at the DWMA I can imagine that she had the same effect on Soul when he first started at the DWMA although their situations were obviously very different and Soul would’ve been too stubborn to show how nervous he was.
SoMa. Need I say more? The dynamic between Soul and Maka gives my chills. In my favorite non-anime show (Bones) one of the characters says “What you two have, is why people draw breath” (paraphrase) and that is how I feel about Soul and Maka. I want friendships and a relationship where we can bicker 24/7 but then turn around and be there for each other on a more personal level in an instant and Soul and Maka have that. They fight and complain but they help each other the second they need to. Soul gets Maka out of a book, supports her on her adventures, and lets her be the strong independent woman she wants to be - but will call her our in an instant if she is being stubborn. While Maka stands by Soul throughout all of his flaws and insults and is true family to him. I could go on about them for hours.
Soul’s music gets me every time. I am a musician, and had stopped playing for a few months after college. Then I watched Soul Eater and was like “I need to play again, now”. The fact that Soul introduced himself to Maka with a piece of music is phenomenal and beautiful and everything right with the world. The way he uses his music throughout the show in fascinating and beautiful. I love in the mange when he tells Maka that there is madness in his piano and that “In madness there is a strength that fascinates people”. I love that Maka studied music just because she wanted to understand Soul on that level. I love it all. I’ve started writing a piece I would like to someday use as a “self introduction” because of Soul and the way he did with Maka.
I could go on for days about Soul. Without a doubt. I have so much more to say. But my dog is asleep on my lap and it getting annoyed with me typing so much. So alas, I will end it here.
Basically my point here is just to explain why I love Soul Eater so much in a brief fashion. If you have any comments or questions about any of my Soul Eater thoughts or theories just message me or comment on here. I am always up for talking about Soul Eater. And I can’t wait to type out my next post on Why I Love a specific anime(:
