| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, it's like a freaking war now. Shula really is going all out here. I was not expecting that yuri kiss tbh this episode. The battle was okay I guess. I'm glad to see Meme back to normal now. Eat it Shula. Anyways, I thought overall the show was fun. Nothing too special but a fun little journey. Rating this 7/10. |
 |
| Got my yuri fix for the season, and the action was decent. I really like that they showed the school side of soul eater here, even tho it was mostly SoL yuri for the beginning, but meh I enjoyed it too much 8.5/10. Hopefully this paves way for a soul eater reboot or continuation. |

They could just explain it as the anime ending was a dream while unconscious or something, honestly I never understood why Soul Eater ended at all. |
| gagantosu... Typical "Overcome the darkness and release the light within your heart" meme with Meme. Ive had enough of that stuff with KH. Idk if its the video fps but that battle scene looked really chopped up. It was stylish though, reminded me of the command in KH2. It turned pretty corny towards the end but I know the staff did it on purpose.. Cus Maka and Blackstars fight scenes were all stylish as short as they are. Well, Lol'd @ Cana-chan when she was possessed hahaha too kawaii. In the end, Im glad to see one scene from Death the Kid. Really hope for another ride with original Soul Eater. And damn, Sid turned really ugly... |

| absolute garbage. 4/10 |

| Fucking called it. Knew they would team up as a 3. Not bad, not great. Made a sentimental number 200 for me though given my affinity to the original series. Out of pure selfishness I want a second season, though I can understand why they wouldn't bother. |
| The battle vs the witch was uber shitty. Plot armor lvl over 9000. Anyways the rest of it was cute :3 Overall i enjoyed this. I laughed a lot, it had it's action moments and I enjoyed seeing the old cast again (rarely though). Just for the record it Soul Eater Not had godlike OP and ED songs damn i listen to them everyday |
 |
| Nice show overall, but the ending felt "anime-original", and that's too bad. Closing the show with a yuri moment. And taking the harem route, ha? Deserves some merit for doing so, most shows will opt-out at the end from the harem route. |
 |
| ... The fight was super lame. And with Tsugumi's transformation I was expecting some fancy two-people-weapon or divided into two weapons, but... that... not only it was lame because of the powerful witch somehow not hitting anything - imagine that! - but it simply LOOKED bad. Also, anime really should stop with the 'our friendship makes us invincible' trope. |
| LOL Kana's attack using cards. Death the Kid and his symmetry..lol And they finish off the season with "Gagantous!" Not surprising she chose both as her partners. 6/10 |
 |
| Very cute ending. 7/10 |
 |
| I just really wanted her to eat the soul.. This would have been more OP than Tsugumi already was, but it'd be awesome for her to transform into some dual wielding halberd connected by a chain, a lot better than throwing her back and forth. All in all, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. This last arc wasn't as enjoyable as the first half for me despite the (sort of)action, but enjoyable nonetheless.

| aaaand its over..well t was nice, got th yuri moment at least (could have sworn anya would ask/take a kiss for herself too XD) it was a nice ride, i likeschool love-comedies, this one just hapened to be in the world of SE, quite enjoyable =D 7/10 for me now i wanna see something more of the original one TT_TT |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| This anime turned out better then i expected. It was fun to watch and the story was nice there was also a clear plot and character development. But what i really liked is that it managed to have a few surprises in store like Eternal Feather being forced to commit suicide. And Sid sensai being killed. I really didn't expect that and it made things interesting for me. Well in the end Tsugumi didn't pick between both Anya and Meme but just picked them both, not the best for the ending but still one i can live with since they seemed happy. Still rooting for Anya tho. |
Aversa said: They went for a happy ending, but her not having to actually choose between them makes me feel unsatisfied. It's basically a cop-out.Well in the end Tsugumi didn't pick between both Anya and Meme but just picked them both, not the best for the ending but still one i can live with since they seemed happy. Still rooting for Anya tho. Also rooting for Anya. |
 |
| didnt expect that yuri kiss o.O but now that i think about it, its not that surprising that it happened... in the end power of friendship wins, happy end decent series overall, it was enjoyable, alittle cheesy here and there |

| Cant believe they didnt even mention Sid turned into a Zombie. Now for the viewers who didnt watch the first series think he's dead. And a lack of a AkaneXTsugumi ending made me drop this to an 8. The best part to show them together would have been when Tsugumi said she was lonely Anya and Meme were gone, and then pow Akane walks up and grabs Tsugumi's hand and then her monologue changes to "alright maybe I'm not that lonely". If it would have ended like that I would have given this a 10, but it didnt so its droppin a point. :/ |

Now for the viewers who didnt watch the first series think he's dead. Bear in mind that as the episode was closing we see that Stein hasn't yet become a teacher, so Sid's Zombie reveal hasn't happened yet. He's probably in Stein's lab or something. SE Not! was alright with some decent cute moments here and there 7/10 |
 |
| Took me a couple of seconds before I got the "Spring Bird" attack haha. Why didn't Tsugumi eat the soul? Does she have to eat the 99 non-witch souls first? :/ |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Yuri kiss, Meme's side boobs, Tsugumi's under boobs, Tsugumi's pube-less crotch, and Anya's ass are the highlight of this episode. It's a cute little series, started out entertainingly but got a bit boring in the middle. 5/10 |
 |
| It was better than expected ^^ |
| To quote myself here from the last episode: ...and somehow I just don't see a scenario that makes sense where they win this thing. And what a surprise, Deus Ex Machina strikes again. Look at what Shaula did to other people, she has a scorpion stinger at the end of her hair for death's sake... but what she did here amounts to "softly pushing them away" in comparison. Why didn't she hit, even once? Shaula would've made such a good villiain in the originial Soul Eater. In this series she was unfortunally just a big joke (for having actually a really cool character design), though. I mean seriously, with the magic power and combat skills she showed early she should've easily killed or turned them... but this, this whole fight doesn't make any little bit of sense - NOT how Shaula was so damn weak suddenly, NOT the sudden power-up of the three girls with them not training Soul Resonance or team fighting at all even once, NOT the asspull of a witchhunter ripoff they suddenly could perfectly execute, just NOThing. Finally I can only say: This Soul Eater series is just NOT good at all. 3... maybe 4/10. --- (Even if I don't like stuff like this, if they just had it stay a cutsy little romance anime without the not really well developed overarching plot in the background it would've probably been better. The fighting scenes really remind me of the first season of Medaka Box where there are suddenly fights to end in an anime that looks from the beginning like someone in production thought it was just some moe-romance thing (which it actually isn't) and you could really think looking at those fight scenes that the animators reactions were like: "Wait, wait, wait... there are action scences in this anime? Nobody told me this... I can only do twinkling eyes and rosy cheeks!" just like in this series.) |

| The first half of the series was enjoyable when it was more like a Slice of Life anime. These last 2 episodes made absolutely no sense within the Soul Eater universe. First, Tsugumi learned to fly in no time in episode 11, which was supposed to be something difficult for Maka and Soul (in the manga). Second, after seeing how powerful witches are in the main series, there was no way I could take the Shaula fight seriously. Also if I had bet money that Tsugumi would say Gagantous at the end of the episode I would be rich lol. 5/10, feels strange giving this score because I'm not that hard to please haha. |
| I didn't like the series to begin with, MOE-BLOBS, kinky yuri, and terrible fight scenes (In my opinion at least). None of the new main characters amazed me as much as the original SE cast, a tsundere, an airhead, and whatever that Tsugumi girl was, had times where they really ticked me off. In conclusion with a terrible pun/or not pun: Soul Eater NOT! Was NOT! Good. 2/10 |
 |
| dis was good. i was wondering how they would defeat Gorgon w/ her magic but looking at it, it made sense. Of course Gorgon would underestimate them. it would make sense the Meme and Annya could dodge the shots from afar, and Tsgumi is a weapon so she deflects easily. only problem i had is that they did make Annya and meme dodge as much as they could have. having a charging attack w/ a coat over it would block off any hits from it. and with the size it was at, it makes sense Gorgons hair would have bad time. also, just because one duo of Meisters/Weapon can't learn a specific technique quickly doesn't mean others couldn't. it really depends on the soul wavelength of the team. |
| That was a surprisingly feels heavy episode, which is not something I thought I would get when I first started watching the series! Although I read the first 2 volumes of the manga, I enjoyed the anime quite a bit. Sure it wasn't a plot heavy show, and revolved around SoL moments, and some light yuri, but it was entertaining throughout, and the last few episodes have been quite good. Even if the animation was quite poor at times... I give the series a 7.5/10 NOT bad, but also NOT great, its somewhere in the middle, so I guess you could say it was a little above average. |
| No way a NOT could beat a witch. Sweet show but kind of a crappy finale. Enjoyed the ride more than the destination. |
| I'm only rating it so highly because it was an excellent yuri slice of life. The kiss was very worth it. I'm confused to why Meme's blade wasn't laced with poison. Maybe it was and it didn't affect Tsugumi because she had the antidote in her mouth, but Meme became conscious while still under Shaula's control. I don't know. |
| Haha. I was expecting Meme would get kissed. The ending was normal. It's what I expect from this kind of anime. 7/10 |

| Super cheesy yuriness. Seeing the main SE characters just made me wish I was watching the real Soul Eater. I knew this wouldn't be a full on action anime, but it was just too cheesy for me xD. 6/10 |

| The fight with witch was kinda lame......but anyway,i enjoyed this series way more than expected. |
| Yuri trio FTW! |
lukkassu said: Lastly... how was the Spring Bird Attack (or whatever it was named) a witchunting ripoff? Sure it was a Soul Resonance energy augmented attack, but I have to imagine those are fairly common among melee Weapons. Doesn't really resemble the actual Witchunting IMO. It's pretty obvious that it's supposed to be "their version" of witch-hunt (sorry, got the name wrong the first time) if you know what I mean. Still, it just doesn't make sense that they can just pull off a technique like this out of nowhere without any training or preperation and kill a Gorgon witch with it, no matter if she "underestimates them" or not. Soul and Maka could barely pull off their witch-hunt the first time around while already being EAT class students with experience and skill far beyond theirs. Other than that it's a bit of stretch to believe Tsugumi's side talent is somehow flying because she has the name of bird. Kim is a witch who is probably able to use a broom to fly with her magic anyway if she wanted to and uses Jaqueline exactly like this and uses her powerful lantern flame to fly, which makes much more sense than having little heart wings even before a blade for no good reason. Just as Soul was already a really good piano player even before becoming the weapon of Maka and used this talent much later to improve their soul resonance. In Soul Eater there was always this nice undertoned theme of understanding and learning from each other, even long after all of the main characters became partners. They train togehter, they fight together, they live together and yet still they learn new things about each other and bring their souls closer together (even as a team of 6 with Soul using his music to create a soul resonance between all of them). That's the difference to Soul Eater NOT - In this series it just happens for no reason, something the characters in Soul Eater actually worked for and had character development to reach... they just do it with the power of yuri friendship and holding hands. |

| They easily defeated the witch just like that. >.< Oh well, I have seen the old Soul Eater characters again. |

| I enjoyed it. I couldn't really find a way to rate it so just gave it a 8.75/10 because i didn't particularly hate anything besides the fact they easily beat a witch. I explained that by saying the witch was really weak and none of the strong people could find her so it makes sense that she was beaten by them. |
 |
| It is what it is. Pleasantly surprised, considering the circumstance. |
