They are my favorite trio, too.
I would have liked it, though, if we entered their lives a bit earlier. I mean, we see the way Maka and Soul's partnership changes and evolves, we see the way things develop between Star and Tsubaki - and here we arrived when everything got balanced already. Well, it's a crazy balance yet... I 'm curious about how they learned to deal with each other all that time ago.
Curious about one more thing, too, that doesn't quite fit all the serious (and interesting) discussion here.
There is this subtle romantic tradition we can see, right, a meister and his weapon... what's poor Kid to do?
