I think Tsugumi is starting to miss home a bit. She has a cute dog too there imo :> Shame about that letter...damn.

Anyways, they need to hunt down that witch. I can't believe even Meme got involved in this. Damn it. Anyways, a pretty intense episode in the second half. I'm curious how they will adapt the rest of this. I kinda like how the story picked up a bit now...and poor Sid-sensei :(

Sid was killed!!!

... Ok, not that unexpected. Still, what an ugly way to go.

Hmmm... I'm also liking the turn of events even though I don't mind the usual light tone... to which it will doubtlessly return after this is over... if there is another season by any chance.

Liked this episode a lot. Much more intense than I thought it would be but that just adds to the show. Can't wait to see how things end.

I agree and disagree. I mean I was watching this anime for moe and cute parts but I frickin love when cute anime turns dark too!!!
And I have enjoyed this anime and I would still like it even if it were without the dark parts with eternal feather-San and meme being controlled by the witch and just continued with the triangle drama thing... (Don't hate me...) >.<

Damn things got dark.

Poor Meme and Sid. I wondering how Sid die. Shaula is a pretty cool villain. Now I'm wondering was Meme really skilled or was it just Shaula controlling her?

It was a good episode, it got a little darker than any other episodes. Though the fight scenes felt cheesy tbh.

Now Meme's being possessed, Sid is severly injured, and Anya is the princess, I wonder how the show will wrap up in 2 episodes.

I'm so confused, Sid was still alive during the beginning of Soul Eater? Wasn't he? Like I just checked and I'm not wrong. So then how does he die in NOT because I thought this was technically a prequel? xD

It's starting to get exciting. I'm a little disappointed cuz it began near the end. It could have been done in the earlier episodes. Anyway, Sid just received a beating and cost him his life.

Anya's lantern looks creepy, well it's a good thing for Halloween ;)

Poor dog :(

Tsugumi made Meme cry :/

Meme's coat looks like something Stein would wear :P

That door looked so weird.

Sleep Reading? XD Anyways I wonder what that book was about.

So that's how Sid died.

Shaula is building an army :o

Well things escalated this episode.

Sad episode.....especially around the start of the episode. :(

But! Wow! What an episode overall....a nightmare indeed. It looks like....Meme was being possessed by a witch! Not just any witch...but that weird scorpion....mind controlling witch. o-o

She escaped! D: And then....Anya was told to leave DWMA, since she's a princess and stuff....and that Death City is pretty dangerous, at the moment.
So....
Tsugumi...is now all alone? D:

Great episode! Although it started off kind of weak, (are we supposed to care about her dog?) it picked up a nice clip, and finally reveals some things about its cast, things that I never would have expected. I just thought Meme was an airhead, I didn't think that there might have been a reason behind it!

I was wondering if they were going to kill Sid properly since they mentioned in Soul Eater that he had a statue of liberty smashed into his head. I'm glad they kept up with the canon and revealed some nice background information!

Throughout this episode I thought they made it rather obvious that Meme would be her choice as a partner and they could reconcile, but the end of the episode left that a lot more up to interpretation. Anya might be a real princess?

This was an amazing episode. Since I first saw Soul Eater, I had assumed Sid elected to undergo zombification --which always struck me as an unbelievable situation as zombification is permanent-- but him being murdered TOTALLY never crossed my mind! Leave it to the Great Atsushi Okubo to never forget to answer something! And Shaula, wow is she WAY deadlier than I imagined her to be. I shouldve known better, what with her being a Gorgon sister and all...

No. In the original, Sid is introduced while still living and somewhere between the events of episode 3 and 4, Sid is mentioned to have been killed via "being stabbed through the forehead by a Statue of Liberty" and then rumors are spread of him attacking Shibusen students as bait for Maka, Soul, BlackStar, and Tsubaki's collective Remedial Lesson.

so if thats true then im confused as all hell. if he died now and this is suppose to be a prequel how is he alive in the beginning of the original? and IF this is a sequel than how is he alive in NOT (up until this episode)?

Man, I wish this anime would last longer...just when things got more interesting...
I also want it to be about Tsugumi, Meme and Anya since I'm starting to get attached to them :

This episode was great! I like the revelations and all but...I feel like it's sorta rushed.

The first 3 episodes of the original series are the introduction of the 3 teams, which again happend before or during this series.
Episode 4 is when the main series actually "start". There is no plothole.
And episode 4 is when they visit their old teacher, who is a zombie.

Well that was entertaining... Anya a princess, I believe they hinted at this at the beginning, and in the manga too. But being forced to leave... I wonder what Tsugumi will do now. Oh the next episode looks interesting. It looks like Anya and Tsugumi is going to do a soul resonance, sweet.

Exactly. The first three episode were introductions, though Kid's must of taken place sometime after Liz and Patti did their community service.

Loved how this episode upped the stakes, especially in the second half. I was right about Meme being controlled by Shaula, and Tsugumi finally finds out Anya's dirty little secret.

Interesting that we actually got to see Sid die, the timelines are lining up now. We'll probably get to see more of the original SE cast for the conclusion of this series, Shaula is too strong for the NOT students alone.

All in all I upped my ranking of this one +1 after this episode.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

This was EASILY the best episode so far, it had everything: the usual slice-of-life, humor, sadness, drama, AND action; it was perfect.

ALSO I don't think Sid actually died in this episode since that wouldnt line up with the original Soul Eater's events, I think maybe Stein will do the same thing he did to Eternal Feather (just stitch up the wound and maybe even a little "Stein magic"), whereas in Soul Eater when Sid dies again, Stein just says SCREW IT and makes him a zombie.

OR SOMETHING..

So the secret if it was a secret got out to the surprise of Tsugumi.
And things started to go wrong for the last couple of episodes tho one questions still remains.
Who will Tsugumi pick in the end, if she picks one of the girls at all.
I am rooting for Anya.

Finally!!!! A good episode. and not only did we get a shit tone of plot development we got to see, in action, how Sid became a zombie. in the original series we just got the explanation and one short scene when he wasn't a zombie but we get to see the statue through his head! well as much as they can show of a person getting run through on a girly teeny show. everything was happening so fast that it felt like if the rest of the series up until now where as good as this it might not be considered such a mediocre show.

It's the second time an injured dog has been used as an unnecessary plot element. Do the creators hate dogs or something?

Sorry to say this but... how dumb do Anya and Tsugumi have to be exactly?
Your teammate gets indicted for being a spy under a witches control, told that they don't know the extent of the poisoning on her(but that it's some powerful stuff), put under house arrest, and whats the first thing you do when you get a letter telling you that she's lonely? You try to break her out?!?! What the hell is wrong with these two little girls???

And how the heck is it possible that the crazy girl can stab a statue of liberty into Sid Sensei's head, but NOT break down a door?!?!?!?

Even if that door was imbued with some powerful spell that wouldn't allow Meme to open it, why the heck would that latch just miraculously break down when Tsugumi the NOT- Class weapon is used?

None of this seems to make any sense at all....

My theory is that the events of NOT! happen just before/right at the start of Soul Eater which could explain it.

They weren't trying to break her out, they were trying to break in to see her.

She could break down the door, she specifically noted that they saved her the trouble of opening it herself. She simply wasn't ready to make her jailbreak yet.

If you pay attention to the time of day episode 10 takes place its at night. Sid was shown alive during episode 4 during the day. His reported cause of death is consistent with episode 4. And episode 1 - 3 of soul eater are about the main characters which could have taken place at any time before the stat of the series.

Also Naigus was shown without bandages on in one of the episodes of soul eater not. Since sid turns into a zombie i think (and this is just speculation) that naigus dies as well and comes back as a mummy so she can be undead with sid.

Edit: So Soul eater not is part prequel part same time line i guess. maybe well see how naigus dies as well if im corrrect.
