Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 2 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Soul Eater watch order comes in two parts: the original 51-episode series first, followed by the 12-episode spin-off. Start with Episodes 1-51, the main run that follows Maka, Soul, and the students of Death Weapon Meister Academy from beginning to end as one continuous story. After finishing the finale, move on to the second block, Episodes 1-12, the Soul Eater NOT! spin-off, which is set in the same world and best watched after the original since it fleshes out the surrounding cast. There are no movies to worry about, so the whole sequence is just those two series in order. This 2008 Bones production is where to start, and this page makes the correct order clear: the 51-episode main show first, then the shorter spin-off. If you only want the core story, the original 51 episodes stand on their own, with the spin-off as optional extra viewing.
