What did you think of the Soul Eater finale?! Our hosts Kari Lane, Jamie Gray and Veronica Valencia break down the final 4 episodes of this classic anime. Maka as a weapon was SO COOL! Death and Stein were surprisingly useless. Watching the Kishin crumble is so rewarding and fun thing about them as a villain, some of his ideas not wrong - it’s his methods that aren’t great!  Our hosts also review the new film from Eleven Arts, “Penguin Highway”, that is coming to theaters April 12th. Go to...

We are almost to the end! Our hosts Kari Lane, Veronica Vallencia and Ollie Drennan break down s4 ep5-8. Many things we had been wanting to happen finally did! FINALLY saw Marie kick butt and in heels no less! Crona did well but saved by Maka (we discussed how that is a little different than the manga). Stein and Marie together = YASSSS! Black Star is continue to grow, mature and hopefully continues on that path. Medusa is gone for good and learned she is not the top dog. Death with the...

Only 3 more review shows for Soul Eater! The epic battle is fast approaching but Maka is in a funk. She is understandably frustrated because the actions of the DWMA are a bit questionable - releasing Medusa and making a deal with her?! Crona and Marie are stepping up and struck out to get Medusa. What is up with the Kishin and Arachne? So awkward to watch… What is he even doing? Kid re-learns he should not go it alone but should utilize his friends. Will Stein come out of the...

Season 3 is coming to a close and as a whole the show has mellowed out a little bit. However, this seems to happen right before the big battles! Hosts Kari Lane, Veronica Valencia, Jaimie Gray, and Ollie Drennan discuss how the madness is taking over but no one is really acknowledging it. Is Arachne the real baddy or is it Medusa? Poor Crona, but thankfully the trio is ready to work things out. Is Black Star back to his normal self or has losing finally taught him some lessons? Also, our host...

The gang is all back together! Hosts Kari Lane, Veronica Valencia, Jaimi Gray and Ollie Drennan break down s3 ep 5-8. Crona is having trouble comprehending why everyone is so nice because they have never known friendship. There is another filler ep with Excalibur but it is somewhat entertaining. Yay for cute winter wear while our team goes to the hidden island, and yay for seeing more of the other students/weapons! Looks like we are headed for another big battle. Will the resonance training...

Madusa is back but will there be some sibling rivalry?  Then coming up Feb 16th at 6pm is the Anime Awards! Tune in at...

Happy New Year! AfterBuzz Anime Reviews is back and hosts Kari Lane, Jaimie Gray and Veronica Valencia bring you their thoughts on season 2 episodes 1-4 of Soul Eater!
