This a spinoff series to soul eater. Which is about a girl called Tsugami Harudori who after discovers her ability to transform into a weapon she enrols into the DWMA. Due to her ability, she is put into the NOT class and must choose between Anya and Meme as her partner.
While I can see what this series is going but honestly, this isn't really something fans wanted to see after 5 years since the series ended. The concept of this series is interesting but the exclusion was very poor.
While I get they wanted to focus more on the NOT part of the manga but honestly, it wasn't really as we don't really see any of our favourite characters in the anime, they are there but they are rarely appearing, while I get it's set a year before Soul Eater however, the story just focus on characters that aren't even relevant in the actual.
Also the series kinda changed it's tone from a magical adventure to some slice of life series which nobody really wants. Tsugami isn't really a bad character, maybe if the original series would have continued she probably would have been introduced and they would have gone from there. While I get the show wanted to focus more on her, anya and maya, and while I do admit some of the other new additions such as Clay and Akane. However, I am pretty sure fans wanted to see Maka, Soul and the others after so many years of waiting not them.
I will say though that the newer animation was decent.
Soul Eater NOT gets a 6/10.
