description Soul Eater Overview
Death City is home to the famous Death Weapon Meister Academy (Shibusen), a technical academy headed by the Shinigami—Lord Death himself. Its mission: to raise Death Scythes for the Shinigami to wield against the many evils of their fantastical world. These Death Scythes, however, are not made from physical weapons; rather, they are born from human hybrids who have the ability to transform their bodies into Demon Weapons, and only after they have consumed the souls of 99 evil beings and one witch's soul. Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe who only seems to care about what's cool, aims to become a Death Scythe with the help of his straight-laced wielder, or meister, Maka Albarn.

Is Soul Eater a complete anime adaptation?

The meisters and their human weapon partners attend the academy to collect 99 evil human souls and one witch soul. If successful, the weapon turns into a Death Scythe fit to be wielded by Lord Death himself.
Who are the main meisters in Soul Eater?
The story primarily focuses on three meisters: Maka Albarn, Black Star, and Death the Kid. They are paired with their respective weapons Soul Evans, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, and the Thompson Sisters, Liz and Patty.
Does Soul Eater have a canon sequel series?
The creator Atsushi Ohkubo later launched Soul Eater Not!, a prequel spin-off series set before the events of the main anime. It was also given an anime adaptation in 2014 by Studio Bones.
