Soul Eater

Absolute Duo addpermalink

Same concept of partners fighting together. Soul Eater is about humans who are also weapons while Absolute Duo is about humans who wield their souls. Romance abound in AD while comedy is littered all over Soul Eater.

Zombie-Loan addpermalink

Soul Eater is much longer and will probably reach its intended end (or at least I should hope so) while Zombie Loan was cut short and is uncertain, but Zombie Loan has some of the same elements such as a team working toward a goal to fight evil through supernatural weapons and powers, though in Zombie Loan it is to pay back a loan and in Soul Eater it is to become a Death Scythe. Both shows have shinigami and dark themes. The style of Zombie Loan is more typical of anime while Soul Eater has a Nightmare Before Christmas atmosphere with its bloody grinning moon and comical gothic designs. I would suggest Zombie Loan for the inconvenient times when a week is just too long between Soul Eater episodes :)  read more

Both feature unconventional styles, fast pacing, and humor through exaggeration, as well as an abundance of hard rock music. Both also induce the same kind of "drug trip" sensation.

Yumekui Merry addpermalink

While both series of the supernatural have different plots and stories, one thing I found to be very similar was each others character design and atmosphere. If you liked the art and animation of Soul Eater, then you will most likely enjoy Yumekui Merry.

Durarara!! addpermalink

Celty has a death scythe and so is the other characters of "soul eater". It also has that same feel because its also a bit Gothic and a little weird and scary. Once you watch Soul Eater you should also watch Durarara! because these two are both good and awesome anime!

Kekkaishi addpermalink

The drawing style isnt that different, and it also takes a non-serious approach for the protagonist to accomplish their jobs.  In both cases, it also involves non-stop fighting between the lead female and males and also has a no brainer loud mouth as one of the main characters and other crazy, wacky supporting aspects.

Servamp addpermalink

Soul Eater and Servamp each have premises that, on the surface, may seem kind of silly to viewers but are actually quite dark and interesting. Soul Eater is about Meisters and their living Weapons attending school, while Servamp is about Eves and their Servant Vampires (shortened to Servamp) fighting bad guys. Both stories turn dark and become much more violent and scary than initially anticipated. If you like how Soul Eater became complex and messed around with themes other anime are afraid to tackle, this is for you.

In addition, these anime both have manga series that went on for much longer than the shows that are definitely worth checking out (in fact, Servamp's manga is still running). read more

If you enjoyed Pokemon as a kid and you are looking for an entry level anime that is fun to watch with a tad more maturity and with a similar art style, then Soul Eater may be for you.

Similarities:

-Both are set in an alternate world to our own

-They have similar driving themes
-Both showss have characters with ridiculous names (ex: Black Star, Death The Kid, and Soul Eater Evans in Soul Eater; Brock, Professor Oak, and Misty in Pokemon)
-Both have filler episodes

Differences:

-Soul Eater is slightly more mature (has blood, mild nudity, and swearing) than Pokemon
-Soul Eater has a tad of fan service, Pokemon has none
-Soul Eater has a more comedy, Pokemon has similar comedy but lacks any "adult"
 comedy

Both have bright and colorful animation styles, they have their funny and serious moments. One has a teacher that is the grim reaper (death), the other is where the students try and to kill their teacher. Both are really great and can give you the feels, I really enjoyed both.

Sousei no Onmyouji addpermalink

Both shows involve teenagers fighting demons. Both "demon groups" start with the letter K(Keeshan in Soul Eater and Kegare in Twin Star). They also pull the occasional boob joke at times.

Baccano! addpermalink

The large ensemble casts for these series work well because everyone is relevant. Episodes (in the case of Soul Eater) or sections of episodes (Baccano!) tend to focus on a small group (i.e. a meister-weapon pair or Jacuzzi's gang) of the main cast, but when they function strongly as a united whole also. Soul Eater's length allows for more interaction between the many characters, but Baccano!'s multiple time periods gives it the illusion of being longer than just 16 episodes. Both also have a great balance of humor and drama. If you like supernatural without horror, I believe you will enjoy both of these shows.

Both anime deal with a servant-master relationship and are filled with references to historical figures, though Soul Eater is a bit more comic.

Both have things turning into weapons. In Soul Eater, it's people, and in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, it's clothes. And both are ecchi comedies.

Dragon Ball Z addpermalink

Dragon ball z is the type of show that as you go through it you can attach to the characters and not expect them to die(well they come back every time) Soul eater also falls into that category, and you can tell(or i could) from the 2nd episode what kind of show it was.  Soul eater is much shorter so its kind of like 1 or 2 sagas of DBZ. but its still definitely worth watching and if you liked DBZ i think you will like Soul eater.

Thank you Studio BONES!
Soul Eater and Kekkai Sensen have one huge thing in common aside from BONES, and that's style! Both take place primarily in "America" and they share a certain American flair. Beyond that, they each generate there own unique settings that have a feel to them you won't get anywhere else. They also have a similar goofy humor sprinkled throughout.

Mahou Shoujo-tai Arusu addpermalink

Tweeny Witches (Mahou Shoujo Tai) is a bit more stylistic than Soul Eater, and with quite a more wild story telling pattern.  But what's really striking similar between the two shows, besides dealing with the topic of witches, is the art design.  Especially evident in the backgrounds and the ways the cities are drawn.

Honestly, this recommendation is more because of the art than the stories or characters.  If you're a huge fan of straight up action shounen and not more wild storystelling, you might want to pass.
