"Soul Eater" Talkback

#40

My word, Arachne sure knows how to comfort people. o_o

Don't really know what happened until I get a translation, but clearly they're invading Baba-Yaga's castle. The writers probably have quite a bit of material to smash together at this point. With 10-12 episodes left I wonder how it's going to overlap with the manga.

Feels weird seeing Joe in the crowd with everybody at this point. Don't step on the Steins. D:

And will they ever admit that Joe and Mary know each other?!
Still say the Clown gets to be a castle mid-boss at some point even though they skipped over his mini-arc.
 
Well, I'm quite disappointed with Black Star vs. Mifune. All of the development Black Star receives in the manga prior to this battle is completely gone from the anime. He stays with a one-track mind--to cut down anyone who stanRAB in his way. In the end, he never wins a battle throughout the whole show.

As for the anime, I've been disappointed with the assault on Baba Yaga's castle in general. The Clown was reduced to a filler villain, and the director just doesn't have Ohkubo's eye for battle scenes and his visual style as well. Also, the show is called Soul Eater, but the anime seems to be more about Maka than anyone else. Give the lead character some focus--he's reduced to a side character in his own show.

I really hope this show will go the FMA route, in which after the manga's close to being finished, a remake will be done. But I doubt that will happen, which is a shame.
 
I wouldn't say Soul's the lead character in the manga either, he just kind of tags along with whatever Maka's doing. I think Ohkubo just used the name for the series because it sounRAB cool. But it is nice not having Maka scream in an episode.
 
O_o; Episode 40?! Sheesh, I'm behind.


10 - 12 episodes left? Huh. I was under the impression that this one's gonna be a long running series. ...like more than 52 episodes.
 
I suspected the enemy base would move and I suspected the device they were building under Death City would either make the city a teleporter, a flyer, or a walker; but Titan battle, awesome

Yeah...they're not taking these last episodes seriously. - -;

Black Star had a nice moment though.
Kind of sad when mirrored with what happened in the manga.
 
I've heard of the Souleater manga from Monthly Shonen Gangan, and when the anime came out, I definitely wanted to see it. But that hasn't happened yet. I need to jump to it...
 
For whatever reason, I'm enjoying this craziness. As much as I'd like to be seeing the manga animated... robo-city and robo-spider castle! Hilarious. And the fact that the entire cast is also WTFing... well, I find it humorous. >.>

That being said... going the FMA route with a reboot to cover the rest of the manga down the line would be awesome, too.

Its all comin' down ta Maka.

Honestly I thought they were going to kill off Kishin, let Soul get consumed and become the next Kishin, then they'd have to fight him.

It enRAB!



I haven't read a translation yet, but I'd venture a guess that Maka defeated Asura with Full on FrienRABhip.

Now hurry up and make a new series.

Currently listening to OST 2. Absolute bliss; particularly 'Butterfly in the Still,' which is the music when Maka goes Demon Slayer for the first time.

Schlachtschiff's awesome too (Kid vs. Black Star theme with vocals)
 
I just watched the ending, and it was... well, I'll be blunt, bad.

For those interested, the anime splits from the manga at chapter 37, the fight with Mosquito, so start reading from there.
 
It just wasn't very well thought out. What about the rest of the Death Scythes? What about Kilik and the crew (they disappeared)? Mosquito, Free, and Elka? Why is it that Crona was able to critically injure Soul, but when he takes a Vajra directly from the powered up Demon God, he only passes out? That thing ripped off a third of the Grim Reaper on two seperate accounts. Also, even though they integrated Kid's lines of Sanzu, Black Star's power upgrade wasn't included in the slightest.

Maka being a weapon is cool, though. I could see that happening.
