Liz & Patty <33
Awesome, it's been ages since I've seen them. Tsugumi and Anya makes a good team tbh but clearly not match for them. Seriously though, it was nice seeing them again and brings back nostalgia. Death the Kid of course too.

What an ending though. Damn.

Good to see Death the Kid again. It's been awhile since we got to see him and his symmetrical ways lol
And it was interesting seeing Liz and Patty how they were as street punks

Pretty good episode altogether~

This episode felt really forced. Like bring back the old charas at all cost to gain popularity and try to fit them into a cute girls show. (Though it was still nice to see them.)

So the where the trouble makers of the academy or are there more like them?
Have not seen the original series so was wondering.

The episode itself wasn't entirely my thing tho it was nice to see Tsugumi trying so hard, even if she had to go alone to the cafe.

I've been waiting for this episode~!

In soul eater the story on how Did met Liz and Patty is different and shorter in a sense, but I like it better this way!

Just the fact that Kid is in this episode makes it one of the best ones thus far!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

I don't fully get what you mean, but troublemakers are all over DWMA ;D

And seeing the original helps this show a lot! I would probably have thought this episode was boring myself had I not gotten to know the future Liz and Patty so well through "Soul eater" same goes for Kid! I've been dying to see him on this show!

You should watch the original! I promise it'll be worth your time! ^^

yes they were more laid back but originally they were violent delinquents so it makes perfect sense in this since they were still on probation meaning they were just picked up by death the kid

Difference between thinking you are an outsider and knowing you are part of the group. What they hated was 1) being saved by the "kid", 2) thinking that everyone was taking pity of them and 3) feeling like they weren't trusted.

What the MC did was to show them that someone actually respected them for who they were, liked them for who they were, and stood up for who they were. There is an infinite difference between having no friends and having one friend. Now that they know they belong they don't have to pretend to be hard asses and can develop the personality they wanted to have.

They are right now since they just got off the streets.

Liz seems fine, but damn Patty is different 0_0 I know I've said this about every old character, but it's so different hearing their Japanase voices, especially Patty since this is the first time I've heard her va at all. I've heard Liz's a few times.

I loled pretty hard when that one guy came to the cafe because he liked getting talked down too :3 Well tsundere cafes do exist XD

It doesn't compute though..
Maka and Soul are already their senpai
Assuming Lizz, Patty and Kid are from the same batch
Shouldn't they be well behaved by the time they become a senior

Your assumption is correct partially.
Yes, Maka, Soul, and Kid are from EAT class, but that doesn't mean they come from the same timeline.
In the main-series, Kid and the Thompson sisters enrolled DWMA much later.
As for your last questions is the purpose of this (prequel) series, so it's to fill in the gap from the story in the main series.

BTW, Death The Kid "Symmetry ways" according to tvtropes:

Someone with Super OCD requires ORDER in their life. Everything has to match some kind of pattern that they approve of. Lines must be straight, angles must be just the right degree, and the numbers must absolutely match. This doesn't have to be a pattern that makes sense. Social skills will be extremely difficult. Sometimes this translates into Good with Numbers or Hyper Awareness.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is frequently misrepresented in fiction. Most people are surprised to find that rituals are not the defining trait of OCD — in reality, it is an anxiety disorder that causes repeated, unwanted thoughts. The rituals (which may or may not have anything to do with order) are simply attempts to stop those thoughts. Fiction so exaggerates the "order" part in OCD that people are downright dumbfounded to find out that OCD/ADHD exists. (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, on the other hand, really is all about order)
Technically, Kid has OCPD. The former is a disorder that causes fear and worry, and lead the patient to develop ritual actions as coping mechanisms, like always knocking three times before entering a room. OCPD is a mental disorder in which the victim is obsessed with perfection, order, and mental control, generally at the expense of being flexible or efficient. OCD is just the more well-known disorder.

Its nice to see how the sisters changed under the influence of Kid. They became much more likeable people, to the people around them, the audience, and themselves.

Also, if memory serves, the next episode is when "it" happens...It ought to be an interesting ride, and an even more interesting discussion thread!

Patty and Liz.. such a bad attitude.
As a waiter, this was disgusting to watch.
I really enjoyed them in Soul Eater, but this attitude..... ugh, such bitches.

There is a chance for this series to get dark?
Whut
I was excited to see a lot of dark anime series to come from this season, but I did not expect Soul Eater NOT to get dark.
I just assumed it was gonna be like K-On! x Soul Eater... and well, the way this episode ended... it may be that for only the first 5 episodes and the rest could be dark.

I expect to see Kid in a bigger role in the episode, but instead it's Liz and Patty's role in this episode. They are somewhat cold and rude then the original series, as to they were somewhat funny and cheerful. At least Kid has a small appearance, fixing her hair for symmetry XD.

Okay episode, nothing new in here.

The Thompson sisters! Liz and Patty! Been a long time since I've seen them. Also, Death the Kid. Best character in Soul Eater for me. He was so cool and awesome. Even if it's just for a little time.

The ending was creepy.

No, she is still voiced by Narumi Takahira.

Also, yeah, Thompson sisters were really bitchy (in a bad way).

Despite that they altered things in the anime, making some of it filler, I still really enjoyed seeing Kiddo again. I was smiling and laughing, he was just too cute fixing Tsugumi's hair. However, I wished they hadn't rushed it. In the manga, Tsugumi has this moment where she is staring at his eyes feeling hypnotized, and the anime rushed it.. *sigh*.

Next episode looks to be a filler one for I do not recall reading that in the manga, then again I stopped at chapter 13 since at the time it wasn't updating.

Okay, i don't like this series. But this episode was good, i like seeing these good ol' characters.

My favorite part of the episode was when Death the Kid was walking out of the café, meeting Tsugumi and started fuckin' with her hair, making it symmetrical. T'was quite hilarious.

This is awesome. Looks like the Kim and Jacqueline story is pretty much done now we get Liz and Patty! Tsugumi appears to be the force behind some of these changes that lead to what we have in Soul Eater. I also love the Clay and Akane side story with Sid. They really set up some interesting stuff to look forward to while keeping the slice of life style with great nostalgia throw ins.
