| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Aww is it just me or did Patty & Liz get a lot nicer now? Anyways, cute episode with the study session there I guess. Anyways, I expect the story to finally move now. Hell, even that creepy woman from the previous episode is there. And damn, that ending escalated. It was awesome to see Maka though fighting this episode against the new threat. I have a real bad feeling about that woman and her abilities. I never doubted Maka's skills. |

| It's finally getting started for real! Looks like it will catch up to the very slow manga translation in the next episode too! I am glad that Maka and Soul get so much time on screen, but I'd prefer some more cameos from other Soul eater characters to be honest. I really want the 3 main character's relationship to move somewhere soon. It hasn't in the manga yet and doesn't look like it will, I've never felt any real chemistry or friendship between them I'm afraid, and I feel like it's needed now. Looking forward to next week! |
| The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being. |
| I had a feeling the antagnoist would be the 3rd Gorgon sister, those eyes though. The master's jokes made me lol, well it was probably Liz's reaction that got me ;p Liz and Patty are warming up. Scorpions, interesting. Well shit that escalated at the end, but I think she will live. Cool Stein shows up next. I wonder when Black Star will make an appearence? |
| Didn't expect that ending. It's all been fun and games up till now but this ending was pretty brutal even tho we didn't see much of the actually event happening. And it's not often that someone kills themselves or gets killed in Shounen. I have not seen to original Soul Eater so i can't say how violent it was or how brutal it was. But i have to say this ending was pretty brutal. Guess that was it for Eternal Feather senpai. Question is who will they tease now and who will be there for the comedy. |
| I didn't expect the end of this episode to be so.. dark .___ . |
 |
| The animation of the battle was so wrong. For once Maka and Soul were here, and they forgot how to do a proper animation at this exact moment ? Do they really wish for this anime to be hated ? |
 |
| Oh crap that ending. Wasn't expecting that. |
 |
| I'm gonna be honest here... I didn't expect anyone to die in this show :/ It's cool to see Liz and Patty again. Soul doesn't look stoned anymore :3 I loved seeing maka and soul fight :D |
  |
| OMG! That ending! I thought this will be anime type "cute girls doing cute this"! This is spin-off for Soul Eater, also there were episodes with dark aura, but I totally did not expect this! |
| shit finally got abit real. and i agree the animation was terrible for that tiny amount of fighting we had this episode. spin off or not..this is pretty meh sofar. |
| I really liked the dark twist it took at the end. Definitely spices up this spin off a bit lol. |
| Ayyyyee Akane :D Master looked like a boss when he was staring down those punks. And the animation was pretty shitty during the fight with maka and eternal feather. |

| Yeah... It doesn't even look like any effort was put into the animation of that fight scene at all, I know it's a spin off so I'm not expecting it to be of original Soul Eater standards but seriously... They could have done a much better job that that. |

| while the battle animation sucks as shit Maka and Soul are so cute.. that end give me some goosebumps.. |
 |
| Wow the animation during that "fight"scene was laughable. |
| Whoa! What an episode. xD Death Bazaar. :3 Like a Flea Market...or something. xD Anyways....so that Scorpion...Witch....chick. o-o She took control of "Eternal Feather" and made her fight....and we saw Maka and Soul fight! xD Cool! xD Anyways....around the ending....the Witch told the feather girl to kill herself. Whoa! I never thought that would actually happen~! D: Next episode....can not wait! D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I'm excited to see Dr. Frankenfurter next episode. |

So disappointed since Anya's little battle in the first episode was nice. :( Well atleast we get to see some Soul and Maka. :3 |
| Daaaayuuum dat ending. I hope she's not dead. I liked her :( |
 |
| Seriously, i want a gif of that battle part xD Dat ending, FINALLY this got good. |
| Wow that ending. I just knew somebody was going to save her. Damn. How did we go from light hearted yuri moments to dark as hell. Nevertheless is was a pretty good episode. The only thing that was bad was that fight. They know they could gave done better with that. |
 |
Antearion said: Wow that ending. They know they could gave done better with that. isn't the money going to another anime though? |
| Holy crap, did NOT! expect that. Well I kind of did from accidentally reading some of the volume info on Amazon, but not THAT. Poor Tsugumi, that was far too much for her. Her reaction was done really well, got more of the budget than the fight scene. |
 |
| holy shi- that ending dark turn compared to the 6 previous episodes |
 |
| The part where they battled was kinda off. It looked like the animation wasn't good. The ending though. I was confident she couldn't do it. But she did. |
| omg I think I could have done a better battle scene with stick figures than that. That was atrocious. I had to do a triple-take on that scene because I couldnt believe that they would actually air something so horribly animated. |
| Wow! In just a split sec this episode has gone from moe to horror. |
Takuan_Soho said: Well, they just poured a little blood into that cup of sugar they had been serving us! basically this. i've been loving this show so much. my only problem is the changes in the designs of my soul eater characters ;( |
| Loool those "jokes", too funny.. Yay, Liz and Patty getting happier :) Maka looks so cute :O Finally a little bit of extended action~ Holy crap... that ending surprised me, that was intense... |
 |
| Was expecting someone to save eternal feather, but still like how it turned out 7/10 |
| Christ, that was one hell of a tone shift. Despite the really shitty animation though, it was still the best episode in the show so far. |
| Man they really fucked up the "getting lost in shibusen" part here. This was A LOT better in the manga. (we got to see the Death Scythes there) Talking about the manga the anime has almost reached the point where the current scanlations are which kinda sucks. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the anime each week or wait for more manga chapters to be translated. On a side note, those subs with all the "miss" and "ma'am" shit are really starting to piss me off. It's stupid as hell. |

| The one episode where stuff is actually happening... the ONE episode... and they leave out them meeting the Death Scythes and the most important part and the animation quality for the fight was absolutely crappy. I had really hopes for atleast this because in the first episode the short fight looked pretty good but here - It looked like they put more time into animating everything else but shouldn't it be the other way around? |

DancingJack said: I had really hopes for atleast this because in the first episode the short fight looked pretty good but here - It looked like they put more time into animating everything else but shouldn't it be the other way around? Why should it be? It's not an action series, nor is it ever meant to be. It's a slice of life show, so the budget should go to the slice of life aspects. But a bit more budget for the fight would have been nice... This was the episode I've been wanting to see for forever. Largely because of people's reactions. I tried telling people it had some dark moments, and in a way, what happened here was darker than what happens in the original Soul Eater. I enjoyed the episode! Plus, this is where the manga translation stalled for forever, so I'm in completely new territory from here on out. Also, Clay is absolutely awful at covering himself xD |
| i find Master an interesting character but his jokes are not funny.. not sure if those are really jokes .-. |

This was bad animated even compared to their normal animation in the rest of the episode, that's what I meant. Also... this was not darker than what happens in the original Soul Eater (won't spoil anything but you know what happens next episode, right?). One example from the original - When Medusa takes over the body of the little girl. Or what she does to Chrona. Oh, or the Kishin in general. |

| That fight animation is an insult to the soul eater series. |
| Whoa, dark ending! Didn't expect that to happen. |

| ugh ... that fighting animation was terrible >> didn't expect that... wasn't it enough to take the stoned looking eyes from us? No, not only sparkles everything like crazy, even the fighting scenes suck : ((((((((((( Looking forward for more original Soul Eater characters to appear, like Stein and Black Star. Doubt Eternal Feather will die though, think she will survive by the skin of her teeth. If she would die I would be rly suprised, in a positive way. |
| It's kinda scary if you think about the very first fight scene of the soul eater which had Maka and compare it to this lol,got all excited when she showed up too :/ don't think that level of animation would be acceptable on any standards |
 |
| Heavy twist. Good to see Shula the scorp on the move, she has a nice design when she isn't edgy smiling. Come one guys, it's not the whole fight, it's one scene of the fight that lasted a few seconds that was poorly animated. I can forgive a few seconds of bad fighting animation in a SOL show (hope they don't do it again though). And more than the bad animation it's the bad proportions that shocked me. But they probably had their reasons (delays, subcontractors, etc), so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Also those bakas from Funimation: "free market" it's FLEA market. |

| Soul & Maka. Instant 500 out of 5. Rest of episode 3/5. Dat cliffhanger at the end though. |
 |
| Whatwhatwhat. What's with that ending!?? If the whole series would have been lighthearted I would have been okay with it, but throwing in some dark aura makes it even better. |
