u can't really compare both cause they're different. If your lebih the one that likes Shoujo, than u'll take Shugo chara's side. But if anda like Shounen better (like me) than you'll choose Soul eater. it's funny my friend recommended both to me he like's Naruto and death note anda know Shounen animes so when he recommended Shugo Chara i was like "WTF?! this is so not his style of anime" ^u^
