In the world of Soul Eater, the key word to be thinking right now is "finality". Spin-off manga Soul Eater Not! just had its fifth and final volume shipped last week, with the fourth volume recently released last month. SE Not! also had an anime adaption that ran in April to July earlier this year. The original manga has been over since last year, and so has the anime for some time. (there was a questiobale HD re-release on TV some time ago as well...) In short: it looks like SE's time is coming to a close... or is it?!

According to ^ this article, SE creator Atsushi Okubo answered a question from a fan on Twitter confirming that he has a new project in the works for 2015. It is not confirmed what that project is, but us SE fans probably have at least one idea in mind of what that might be.

 

For those of you who don't know, the original anime for Soul Eater was well put together... until the ending happened. SE the anime suffered from the method of averting its adaption from the manga and decided to go into its own story, which in hindsight, was a probably a bad move as I, and others believe, that the manga is ten times more well handled and full of more content than what the anime had in store, which rushed what would be the final battle of the series and filled the story with some... questionable things... 

 

But anyways: this is the perfect opportunity to revive Soul Eater in a brand new way. In the spirit of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Soul Eater should receive a new anime adaption that full adapts the original manga's material, from beginning to end, the way it was meant to be shown. Just imagine, if you will, all the great moments that the manga had that didn't make it into the original anime, and picture it coming to life in animated form, especially with the highest quality animation in our current age (speaking of that, I would think Bones would come back to animate this show, but hey, there might be a curveball thrown at us).

 

So what do you think? Are you hopeful for a new Soul Eater anime in 2015?

I say: OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

I really want to see the animated Mosquito fighting all out and the fake Eibon.

 

People who only saw the anime don't have idea of the feels whenever Kid's Sanzu Lines are connected.

A new Soul Eater in the same vein as FMA:Brotherhood. I'm cool with that.

Please let that be the project. I want to see all of the amazing moments from the manga get animated. The filler... filled anime has nothing on the manga.

Yes! Let's see how our Soul will think.

Yes! Let's see how our Soul will think.

Otouto will love it.

Yes! Let's see how our Soul will think.

Sounds cool.Maybe this might even create the KH13 DWMA's second coming.

as long as they follow the manga throw and throw this time i say let there be soul eating 

*Heavy breathing*

 

In all seriousness, this actually excites me! I've recently fully picked up Soul Eater (Having watched the first three episodes awhile back, I liked it, but it's only been these last few weeks that I picked it up fully,) and I'm liking it a lot! And the idea of a SE reboot, in the manner of FMA:Brotherhood? That sounds really cool!

 

So yes, I am very excited.

That's always a possibility. A star could return.

And a legend might start in the 12th century!

Fool! That is very true. In fact, I might just end up becoming Excalibur! 

And a legend might start in the 12th century! 

 

 

... Yep, still got it.

Why would you do this to me ;_;

I'm still looking forwards to that episode, solely because of this song.

 

Also, there will now be a triple effect!

Why would you do this to me ;_;

 

I guess I'll be dining on quotas tonight lol

I don't like this. I don't like it at all.

Aww, you're missing the best part, Shulk!

So THIS is what he meant back then

 

Sounds good though honestly I would rather see a Soul Eater sequel since while the last battle was seriously awesome the final chapter was really bland and felt like a poor end for the series.

It would be better if the people who never got to read the manga get to know the real story first. I've been reading the manga (Reading the published volumes through my library, so it's been slow), and I can honestly say I'd much rather see an animated adaptation before any sort of sequel is released.

That's only because you haven't finished the series yet believe me a lot of loose ends need to be tied up.
