Fun.
Compare earlier episodes to anything after the fight over BREW. Compare arcs with Blair in them (in any capacity) to arcs with Marie Mjolnir in them. Compare the fights with the heroes and teachers/Eruka/Medusa to Giriko/late Crona/[redacted]. Compare Excalibur to...oh wait, there's no comedy relief in the second half.
The setting and art style are wasted on what the story eventually became. The author knew it too, which is why he started writing Soul Eater Not on the side.
edit:
And the manga is even bleaker.

Does it still have the exciting parts of early Soul Eater eventually though?
Because up to the point I stopped reading, it was pretty much a high school relationship story, only one of the characters happens to turn into a weapon.
