Soul Eater NOT!, the spin-off to Bones' acclaimed action-comedy Soul Eater, has landed on TubiTV and Hulu. The 12-episode series offers a lighter take on the Death Weapon Meister Academy, focusing on three students: Tsugumi Harudori, a timid girl who can transform into a halberd; Meme Tatane, a clumsy girl who becomes a dagger; and Anya Turner, a noblewoman who transforms into a saber. The show provides a glimpse into the academy a year before the events of the original series.
Produced by Studio Bones, known for its work on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and My Hero Academia, Soul Eater NOT! maintains a similar art style and tone to its predecessor, though with a greater emphasis on school life and character interactions. It explores themes of friendship and self-discovery, offering a more slice-of-life experience compared to the high-stakes battles of Soul Eater.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.08, the series is a charming side story for existing fans of the Soul Eater universe. Both TubiTV and Hulu offer the complete series with English dub and subtitle options, making it easy to binge.
