Really touching episode. The fight scene towards the end was amazing.
There were some small changes from the manga but nothing big.

... increased my liking for Black Star. He's... not just 100% egotistical.
But AGH TSUBAKI DON'T ALMOST DIE LIKE THAT AGAIN.

awesome character development for Black Star and Tsubaki. i have to say, even though Tsubaki shined this episode, it was awesome how Black Star just took the villagers punishment without attacking them back...until one of them tried to mess with his partner

YEAH! That was probably the best episode up to date! Tsubaki is so nice! I agree I love the Tsubaki x Black Star pair. Can't wait to see the Fey blade in action now.

This episode was great! Blackstar wasnt anoying at all he was even badass for 3 whole seconds.The previeuw looked good, next episode will be a Soul/Maka episode so thats a win.

After 3 episodes where Blackstar didnt anoy me to death. I might start liking hem.
now this is the way i like my meisters!
1. Maka/Soul
2. Blackstar/Tsubaki (all thanks to this episode. Before i hated Blackstar and didnt know anything about Tsubaki)
3. Kid/Liz/Patty

It was a good episode, but I have to admit, it was a bit boring sometimes.

Black Star hasn't improved one bit from the position I've given him(dead last), but at least I saw a little chemistry between him and Tsubaki.

I still don't get how Tsubaki won. I'm not crazy about the whole main characters gets pwned for 90% of the fight, then miraculously wins at the end...a lil cheesy if you ask me. I can handle a 60/40 fight where the main character wins, but a90/10....c'mon. Then at the end he stabs her...and still loses?????? I just don't get it.

Apart from the fantastic opening & ending and the awesome animation, Soul Eater is really a letdown for me. I expected a masterpiece and I just get a good anime with very basic plot, average characters (the only characters I find somewhat interesting/realistic and not annoying/ridiculous are Soul, Maka and maybe Stein too) and not an ounce of development in 11 episodes. I mean come on, is it what you call a development just now ? We're almost at the half of the series and all that we get are episodic, almost filler episodes with no general story, lame humour, shonen battles even less interesting than Naruto or Bleach (I agree with lifeordeath2 on that) and tons of clichés everywhere. This show could have been far, far better, and without the technical side of the series (and I know it's REALLY impressive) I wouldn't be watching this anymore.

Black Star and Tsubaki were my least favourite pair at the beginning, but this episode ended up being one of my favourites so far! It was really interesting and the story was great. The next episode looks good too! Of course ;)

This week's episode was pure gold. I loved the fight scene, but what I liked the most was Tsubaki's development into realizing that she has a scent. Black Star also showed a lot of maturity by taking all the blows. I was hoping Masamune would be a more sinister character and they would actually explain why he took to the path of Kiishin. Oh well, sibling rivalry works prettty good as well. I really look forward to next week's episode...it's getting good and the first major arc is coming upon us fast.

wow, that was a great one. I seriously almost cried when Black Star was getting beaten up and still just sitting there. The animation during Tsubaki's fight was amazing, and the music was epic too. Still, the main plot of this show is still a little iffy. I've liked the episodic ones, like this, but I've yet to see the overarching storyline. We'll see, I suppose. I'm hoping to get more world physics and explanation in the next few episodes.

I see that no one else was bothered by the whole "how did Tsubaki actually win?" question...on a side note, if this comes to American television, no way are they gonna show all that blood, lol! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the anime as a whole, but this one ep was just cliche cheesy.

They weren't fighting with their real bodies. They where inside the fey blade. Which is why Tsubaki managed to get run trough by a sword several times. I think the damage shows was more of a loss of willpower or something like that. I mean she looked fine once she got back right?

And if that doesn't please you, its anime, those things happen all the time.

Best episode so far, and I mean it this time. I rated it a 5 out of 5 on the poll. The animation and the music were are their best. I felt like I was watching a movie! The battle between Tsubaki and her brother was beautifully animated. Tsubaki's character development was strong yet subtle, which I really liked. I also like Black Star a tiiiiny bit more now. He's still annoying to me, though.

Totally agree.
This was a great episode. I absolutely loved the way the fight scene between Tsubaki and her brother was handled and the interaction between Black Star and Tsubaki were really touching. The preview for the next episode has me so excited!!

OK, I've got to ask, is everyone in this topic proficient in Nihongo? Or is there some sub group out there that's actually released this high? Rumble's only got up through 9 that I've found and the only group I've found a 10 for is Black-Lotus, and they're releasing rather sporadically, so I don't wanna switch to them and not get anything released until episode 15 for some random reason.

I've loved this story arc with Tsubaki, she's been one of my favorite characters so far. Black Star just gets better and better, and proves he's not just the lameass shounen lead that he was obviously made to parody.

Off topic, but Tadashi is subbing this, and generally keeps up to date. They also release PS3 compatible files, which you may or may not care about.

If you were that expectant than you should have read the manga. The fact is that the anime follows the manga almost PERFECTLY and while some changes are good, completely changing the series just to please people like you would just simply be dumb. As for the anime minus the manga I dunno what you're talking about. It has very unique characters and wacky art that is a nice change from other anime. However, since many people enjoy it and while only a few people don't I would just say this just isn't ur cup of tea.

As for the episode...it was AWESOME Blackstar was obviously raised a bar on my list. Right now Blackstar and soul are competing as my fav characters but they both do one awesome thing after another its hard to choose! But after that episode definently Blackstar is on top at the moment.

If anyone can took a beating, its Black Star alright. But man, I still feel sorry for him. No one deserved to be beaten like that, specially someone that people easily misunderstood for what was not. I won't mind being his weapon now but I still prefer the feel of Kid's pinky ^^"

I think the fighting scene was freaking awesome albeit how short it was. An-co-ru an-co-ru an-co-ru (encore encore encore) XD

Gah stein is too psycho-manly for me to ignore *drools*

It was a good episode
poor Black Star getting hitted by those crazy idiots
i'll smack them and sock their face and stomach.
Awww i can't believe it that she has the form of her brother, i knew she didn't lose!
if she losed then Black Star will cry and the others too and He'll have to find a new weapon
I wonder what Tsubaki did to her Brother's Soul is she gonna eat it? or did she allready did
its confusing because i don't see her in the anime that shes eating her bother's soul sense
she won the battle of Her VS her Brother. Hope to see the Next

Nice Episode... there was quite a bit of character development but I rlly rlly wish they would just get onto the main plot and maybe some character development with Maka and Soul who are supposed to be the main characters and I'm not seeing too much of them >_>

(I can't believe I find Soul kinda shmexy... =.=;)
