nu said: If everybody acted like Maka, earth would be one great place to live. Yeah, I would pretty much kill myself if I lived in that world. Edit: Yeah, I lowered my score on Soul Eater from 9 to 8 and it's out of my favorites now. :/ vvv |

| Wahahau that ending seriously sucked -_- I expected something way better I mean its Soul Eater... >_> My score for the whole series was 9 and I had to lower it to 8/10 *sad* D: |
 |
| ugh that was terrible even though maka was by far my least favorite character i thought it was bamf when she turned into a weapon and then the episode turned completely around it just seemed like they were pullin shit out their ass if all it took was a falcon punch and courage, black star should have had the fight wrapped up in a minute. heres to hoping the manga doesnt turn to shit |
| Jeez they should have waited for the manga to catch up instead of bullshitting us!! |
| That was absolutely horrendous. I couldn't stand listening to all that shit about Courage and Madness... Sure when you end something, there should be some sort of philosphical outlook on something to make it seem nice.. What was that whole deal about Maka becoming a weapon? I think they're just trying to pull shit outta their asses... Plus, did anyone else notice that everyone was unconcious, then when she magically started that speech, everyone woke up and did absolutely nothing? Then when it was over, they were all happy and full of energy? Uhh, what? |

Fefe-chan said: WTF?! Worst ending EVER! Seriously, courage power? Maka is now a super-ultra-mega-powerful girl and turned the show into MAKA EATER. When Asura cracked, I was almost throwing up... I mean, you could kill the demon king in so many ways, but with the 'power of courage' added to a 'punch' in simply a big 'no, no' to me. And the end of the last episode was also a big disappointment. Simply a traumatic and terrible ending for such a good show, I just hope that the manga has a better ending. Still, I loved the show 'till episode 25 and will wait for the manga to end to get a real opinion about the series. Agree. |
 |
| Well i think the ending was king of rushed... there where very few fight scenes if any... the reasons i watch soul eater was because of the realistic fight scenes... and i also hated how asura was defeated by a weak "courage punch" I think it's ok to emphasize courage to counter the madness/fear but come on almost 5 mins of the show was dialogue/shouting with courage/madness |
 |
| The first half of the episode was amazing but, the second half really left me wanting more. It felt alot like the ending to a filler movie and in my opinion just did not lve up to the rest of the series. Fefe-chan said: WTF?! Worst ending EVER! After watching Gantz, Air Gear, and Speed Grapher, I really have to diagree with you on that. Taylor said: Hopefully a second season appears so they can correct some things they left out. Yeah, let's have Bones run re-do both FMA and Soul Eater until they've been re-done to death and that way, they have little to no staff to work on anything that's actually NEW. |

| WTF! was that?? ah gosh!! i really xpected more about this ending!! maka becoming weapon was cool it reminded me that her mother was meister and her dad weapon... all of a sudden she took courage from all her friends and family, but... from that to making it the decisive punch to kill the kishin?? so so wrong! now i want the manga! |
| I thought the ending wasn't great but it wasn't so bad either. There was too much talk, Maka's weapon traits from her father activated during the battle while unconscious, the insecure Kishin lost because of his personality (not necessarily from the punch alone), Maka corrupted the Kishin's pure madness with her "courage"... corrupting bad with good....hmm... paradoxical And one other thing, the title. Since it's Soul Eater and not Soul's Story I can see how Soul is not the main character. If you insist that it really is Soul's name in Soul Eater then wouldn't it be about some person or creature trying to eat Soul? Since it's Soul EATER? But even with that, they don't put much emphasis on eating souls. It was more about strengthening and resonating the souls they already had. |

| There wasn't enough time to finish it properly. I knew from ep 45 that 51 episodes weren't going to be enough, they didn't even extend the episode, it was just 20 minutes to conclude it all. Ended up being a horror story. I'm gonna have to bump my score down because the quality really went below my expectations. The 2nd Season was nowhere near as good as the 1st |
 |
| I think it's been pretty much said how much cheese this episode was dishing out. I haven't been this dissapointed since Berserk ended abruptly on me. 7/10 Overall for the series. |

Naruleach said: Xylona said: i find Maka's screams really annoying...I loved when Maka turned into a weapon and her scream when the Kishin squeezed her. (It sounded so real! She's always so awesome with her screams. xD) Honto ni? My husband and I love it. We think she's a really good voice actor, because the scream was so real how it changed pitch and was so screechy. haha. I'm with everyone else though, I lowered the score from 9 to 8 because of the ending. |
 |
| Excellent episode, and maybe a bit corney as other has said. But overall a great anime. And I loved it when Asura snapped :) |
 |
| "Courage" was most likely a metaphor. I love how they killed Ashura. Nobody EVER tried using a SIMPLE punch on him. No soul force, no special power, no nothing, just a normal punch. I guess since Ashura was functioning by the "rules" of madness, to defeat him you'd have to do something insane, and attacking him without any powers, is INSANE. That's why the final lies were so awesome Ashura: What king of punch was that. Maka: Nothing special, just a normal punch. Something that everyone had. Ashura: Oh, just like madness. |
 |
| Stupid and corny ending :/ decent show 7/10 |
 |
| Im gonna downgrade this anime from 9 to 8 thanks to the last few episodes. Maka turning into a weapon was interesting, but it's probabily added in to create more drama and excitement. Where is the story behind it? I hate it when the characters start doing amazing stunts and jaw dropping killer moves all of a sudden. How can Maka defeat Kishin when the 3 of them together cant kill mosquito! So mosquito is stronger than Kishin? Wow....AMAZING! If they planned to have Maka defeat Kishin, the should not have created such a strong Kishin and than during the last 10 minutes became psycho after all the talking and just die after a punch made of "courage"... Seriously... wtf is this ending! |
| MAKA BECAME A WEAPON DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i cant believe its over man imma miss blackstar freakin antics i love that shit but they could had showed what happened like after the fight like real!!! |
 |
| Ehh sorry that was a lame conclusion to a great series... :/ and Maka is super annoying -_- anyway, bad guy lost, everyone lives happily ever after.... even those who "died" yeeha. lame. why is the series called Soul Eater? the author should've just give Maka a cooler name that could be used in the title Dx I lowered the rating to 7. courage~ |
 |
| Speaking of "Soul Eater" ...what happened to the idea of Soul Eating? They showed it in the first 3 episodes, and then everyone forgot about becoming a death scythe. Which... didn't matter, I guess. Death Scythes aren't all that great, apparently. |
| it was a good end to the series though abit chessy near the end 9/10 |

Which... didn't matter, I guess. Death Scythes aren't all that great, apparently. Yep. Which brings me to the fact that at 2 am last night I realized the best ending ever (imo) would have been Justin and Giriko pairing up and shredding Ashura. Oh...oh the lulz that would have been...alas, as this last episode has shown. Courage (or rather a postcard that says courage in Arabic, held tightly in your hand) > Death Scythes. |
| Were I to say that I did not enjoy Maka’s Falcon Punch against Asura would be an absolute lie. It was classic. Furthermore, I agree with Xylona. The seiyuu's scream sounded natural enough to suit Maka's character. Truth be told, Maka's sudden transformation into a Death Scythe was somewhat predictable. Her father IS after all a Death Scythe, so it would be of no surprise to me that she inherited some of his traits genetically. Though it would have been nice if Maka's mother made an appearance in the show at least once, seeing as she is constantly being mentioned at different intervals of the animation. The ending could've used some improvement [and like the many others who have commented on this - the ending quotations dealing with courage were corny]. After all, this series is entitled Soul Eater after the main character death scythe of the same name. Yet why was Maka Albarn the lead protagonist amongst the rest? Then this series would've been called Maka Albarn. Ah the irony. The ending would've been better if it were Soul to defeat the Kishin and not Maka. Then the presence of cliche would be broken. Let the sidekick be the hero for once. Nonetheless, overall this was a rather attractive series. The soundtrack, the character designs, the random relationships and characteristics, and the positive and negative facts of human emotion made this show stand out amongst the rest. Indeed, the password to access a good, strong life is courage. :] |

I think it was a possibility for Maka to become part Scythe but I doubt anybody could have predicted she'd become a weapon herself. And toss Soul aside. Especially after he was the one that changed into his Ultra Rainbow Anti-Demon Scythe form. In the end him transforming wasn't even worth wasting the minutes, those extra 3 minutes could have been used to explain the ending better. I find it strange how Maka seemed to have stronger weapon capabilities than her father since she is only half weapon. I'm one confused person and courage is the key |

| That ending was shit, i was expecting epic and all we got was courage. GAY *removing from favourites* |

|
| Pretty Cheesy, and didn't win by teamwork like bast said but, other than that it was pretty ok. Three of my predictions came true in the end: Maka could also be a weapon Shinigami-sama wasn't dead Maka kills Kishin XD @ Shinigami-sama connected to an IV |
   |
| Pretty corny ending but since it's YUUKI DA I let it slide. |

Which... didn't matter, I guess. Death Scythes aren't all that great, apparently. Also, someone mentioned soul resonance. What WAS the point after all then? They tried to put so much emphasis and importance into resonating with each other but in the end, it was Maka. Solely Maka. And her apparent abundance of courage. =/ |
 |
| Awww SE ended! And with not so exciting ending *nooooo* The whole 'yuki' - courage story was pretty lame-ish... but oh well the show was awesome in general so something had to suck I'm gonna miss the SE gang...that's why I need to catch up with SE manga I'll give it 9/10 |
| what the hell. seems like someone tried really hard to F up this series. one word to some up the end: BAKA |
| Also seemed like they crammed a lot of villains in their as well and not just unexplained or under used plot points that were suppose to be good. Maybe once they saw Funimation was taking over and shut down some good subbers they just said the hell with it and winged the rest of the show. Seems like it went downhill around that time |
| this episode is just a one more evidence, that animation studious keep fooling us with promising beginnings and then put off a shitty cliché ending. disappointing. the one thing Bones did really great - they made me want to read manga. |
 |
| OMG! The Kishin was so AWESOME in the end XD For the first time he REALLY seemed like a rambling maniac :P |
| I think Maka was overdosed with Digimon Savers and she's probably a fan of Daimon Masaru. Punch-power!!! oh... yeaaah... *backs away* PS. "bakame!" and "shinigami chop" combo to the producers please!!! >=D let's test if their punch of courage is of any use. XD |
Cheliza said: I think Maka was overdosed with Digimon Savers and she's probably a fan of Daimon Masaru. Punch-power!!! oh... yeaaah... *backs away* I was actually thinking the same. Not what I was really expecting from the last episode, it was neither good nor bad but I liked it I guess. I still feel like there were a few loose ends at some point so I might just pick up on the manga since it's still ongoing. I'm glad I'm finally done with the anime series though. Leaves me more room for the new animes that just started airing. |
