How can i get my friend into Soul Eater? Any advice will help.

A while back when i was getting into Soul Eater before my friend Hunter got into Anime. I was at his house one saturday night. His parents were not home at the time. And i decided to watch Anime on Adult Swim. And the 2nd to last episode of Soul Eater was on TV. I was watching it. Episode was dark themed. Cause it was the end of the world. Maka,Kid and Black Star along with their weapons were fighting off the Kishin Asura. I think i spelled his name right. Not sure. Anyways they were fighting him off. And my friend said how can you watch this dark and depressing bloody series like this? I didn't really have much to say. So next weekend i came over and did the same thing again. My friend later when my dad came to pick me up from my friend's house. I went ot grab my stuff to head home. My friend was outside talking to my dad. And he went and snitched on me. Saying i was watching a dirty depressing bloody dark violent cartoon on Adult Swim. Later once i was in the car my dad told me off all the way home before my dad found out later on it was not a bad series like my friend Hunter said it was. But i was mad at my friend for snitching on me when i did nothing wrong. Now that my friend is into Anime for 3 or so years now thanks to me. He says he will nor watch Soul Eater cause it is dark,bloody and depressing he said. And i said you cannot ride off on the last 2 episodes of Soul Eater and think that everything else is like that when it's not. He went and told on me to his mom saying i am trying to force him to watch an evil show on Adult Swim. I got lectured by his mom.

I know this was long. No other way to explain this though. Thanks for reading this. So i was wondering if you guys have any advice on how to get my friend into Soul Eater without forcing him. I tried watching the first 3 episodes on Netflix with him. Before the episode could start he went into his bedroom the night and would not come out until i changed what show was on. I need help guys. Anything!

Show him this picture and he should be interested.

If he still isn't interested, tell him he's gay over and over and over again and since you guys are in middle school he'll probably get really uncomfortable and cave under the pressure.

You know what never mind you seem like the type of person who would take this post seriously and you'd probably actually do it and then come cry to us when your friend starts to hate you. Don't actually do this.

If your friend is that stubborn and that hellbent on getting you into trouble for watching one show I would just give up on trying to get them to like it. Try getting them to watch something else you would both like.

Are you asking him to watch Soul Eater or Not!? You're confusing me.

Try to find aspects of this Series you know your Friend will like. Are there certain types of Characters he likes who are in this Show? Perhaps, he likes good fights, mostly involving weaponry? Does he like philosophizing and has he ever wondered about the concept of Madness? Maybe he fancies some blood here and there or just like it got brought up already, some good ol' Fanservice? ;) Try to find reasons that would get him interested in this Show. Honestly, if there aren't, no need then. At least, you gave it a shot. You can't force someone against their will !!!!

It's not called forcing. My friend started at the last 2 episodes of Soul Eater and the judged the entire show based off of that. Which is not fair. In order to judge weather or not a person likes something or not is to watch the begegining of an Anime for a few episodea and judge it from there. Cause any ending of any shows could be good or bad.

"it's not forcing, I just think he shouldn't be allowed to use his own judgement when mine is so much better"

Sure it is. The first episode is crucial in pulling a person in. The first episode lays down the plot and the core characters. If the person isn't interested in the base concept laid out by the first episode then they probably won't care for the rest. And the more you try to push them to watch the show the less likely they are to like it. I used to hate Avatar and no one could have changed my mind; I saw a commercial for it on my own a year later and I gave it a second shot on my own. Liking something happens naturally not because a person is told to like something. If you want him to get into Soul Eater, watch it on your own; maybe he'll catch a scene that catches his attention and he'll watch it on his own.
