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!
