Summary:
Soul Eater Not! is a side-story to the main series, focusing on a freshman halberd named Tsugumi Harudori, who befriends two other meisters, Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn. All three take part in the NOT (Normally Overcome Target) class at DWMA and learn to control their powers in order to overcome their difficulties to have a normal life, as opposed to the battle-oriented EAT (Especially Advanced Talent) class taken by Maka, Soul, and their companions.
This isn't your average Soul Eater obviously, and I know that a lot of people might expect this to be like the original Soul Eater. When I first saw the Manga, I was like "Oh nice! Another Soul Eater Series!", but then at that time, the original Soul Eater was still ongoing, so then I thought that this was going to be Spinoff series with less-action, and I was right.
This anime is pretty nice, and fun. Obviously no serious plot or whatsoever, so for those who are expecting this anime to turn out to be like Soul Eater, then let me warn you that this isn't anything like that. While Soul Eater focuses on the Action genre, this is more of a Slice of Life genre. And I can't compare those 2 because one does not simply compare 2 Animes with a different genre. And even the description (for the manga) said that this series is more of how 3 best friends get along their daily lives.
And for the returning Soul Eater fans, if you don't mind some slice of life anime, this is for you. There are some returning characters that'll make you feel nostalgic, and even get to know more about Kim, Jacqueline, Liz, Patty, and Ox.
I'd like to say that this anime is a refreshing one.
But I'd like to warn some others, despite the name has "Soul Eater" in it, it barely have any action in this. So for those who expect more action stuff like Soul Eater, don't set your expectations high.
