I'm OP, and I believe I mentioned Raimei and Shijima (I only found out her name like...yesterday...been reading the manga in Chinese), I don't deny they're alright as female characters, but little focus is put on them. And Raimei and Raikou's dilemma just screams cliche to me.

Hmm, wherever I went Nabari is always more popular, but mayhaps I just went to the places all the fangirls go to... But the Nabari LJ community has more members than the Soul Eater one as well.

Soul Eater...well, it's in your right to dislike its over-the-top and fanservice-ness, but I do honestly think the characters are as a majority better than ones in Nabari.

Oh and, I agree with you on the BL in Nabari. Not so hot on it either, both of them are boring to me.

Well, yeah, there's little focus on the girls... but Nabari is just that kind of manga/anime. I can't really find any grounds on which the two could be compared, actually. One is a loud, energetic, over the top shounen fight series, the other is a shoujo show with emphasis on characters and prettiness and emotions and introspection and whatnot (sure, there are some fights, but they're only there to help the story along). It's pretty much the case of "apples and oranges" as far as I'm concerned. The reason Nabari may be more popular on LJ (not elsewhere as I see) than Soul Eater is that the manga has been more well-known, but Soul Eater is already much more popular in Japan and in the anime blogger world.

As for Soul Eater, my main problem with the anime is that, as I see, it's trying way too hard to be cool and edgy and unique. I wouldn't have problems with it being over the top (though I'd prefer when it's done in the style of Ouran Host Club or Utena), but somehow I feel Soul Eater is trying too hard, and it shows. But, well, it's just me. :D
