Well this is embarrassing. I hadn’t realized Soul Eater had different openings. Yeah, this is one of my favourite shows.

Your Favorite Opening
Well it’s not like there were TONS of different openings, there are only two really. You can’t blame me too much for having forgotten about that.
So I just rewatched them all, yes all two – the things I do for you guys! – and I’m going to go with papermoon or OP2:
Fact is, I’m not really crazy about either of these OPs. For a show as creative and weird as Soul Eater, the OPs are pretty standard fare. Don’t get me wrong, they get the job done. Rewatching them just now gave me the urge to see the series again (not the same way as the HxH OPs did when I had the same question) but nothing about them really stands out. There’s a reason we never see this show in best OP lists.
I’m kinda hoping you flood my comments with lists showing otherwise. Mostly because I really don’t have anything else to say on the subject.
I chose Papermoon because I like the song a bit better, that’s all.
This said, the visuals of the Soul Eater repeat openings are really cool. Much better to look at, but since it’s not the ones I saw when I was watching the show, I don’t get the same pangs of nostalgia. That got them out of the running.
Nevertheless, if you’ve never seen them, it’s definitely worth a look,
Look at that magical girl Maka!
Suggested drink: Paper (Honey) Moon
- Every time Maka gets a close up – take a sip
- Every time we see the Sun or the Moon – take a sip
- Every time the camera zooms by a character – take a sip
- Every time there’s an artsy establishing shot – take a sip
- Every time there’s a split screen – take a sip
This actually reminded me of Soul Eater NOT….They Both are like two different series, if you know what I mean….
I do know. I pretend not doesnt exist
Hehe….
I loved both Soul Eater openings. Just listening to them isn’t amazing but they both just perfectly fit the show you are about to watch and the visuals for both work really well. Still, I’d probably have picked Papermoon too as the better one.
Then I will consider this an agreement!
i liked only music on this anime but not animation
Agreed!
I thought OP1 had some pretty great animation, but I do prefer OP2 as a song. Thanks for spreading the Soul Eater love again with this challenge!
The repeat animations are cool I think
I don’t think either of the Soul Eater OPs would make my top anime OP list either, but I’m still pretty fond of the second one in particular because I like Tommy heavenly6 (and just Kawase Tomoko in general).
Oh this made me remember Tomme february 6…
