Well, obviously it takes place in a fairly modern fantasy-ish version of our world. However, I would hesitate to link it to any actual year or history. I mean, look at the sun. People turn into weapons, witches exist, and gods take an active role in history. Linking it to a place in real history would be almost nonsensical. They use a phonograph to play records at a party, while Justin uses those tiny kind of headphones...

I'm starting to wonder. If the manga is monthly, but the anime is weekly. That would mean that the anime will eventually catch up to the manga's story. It seems like one manga chapter equals to about one anime episode, but that creates a problem with time. In one month the anime gets four episodes, on average out, but the manga only gets one out. I wonder what they plan to do to prevent that? Filler arc to give the manga some lead way?
Unlike FMA, Soul Eater follows the manga almost to the letter. It does shave some of the fan service though. (i.e. Sid's pantie flash interrogation, all of Maka's pantie shots, some Blair scenes, and Mizune's breasts.) Quote:
Hell, Dean Koontz has a manga out. That was surprising when I saw it at the book store. I thought someone put one of his books in the wrong section.

I think if they would just make up another end they would of started that sooner. To date it's followed the manga spot on, despite a few fan service changes I mentioned above. The anime has had a few filler episodes. Mostly Excalibur stuff. I think you'd tick a lot of people off if you just did cliffhanger end. Would of been better to hold off airing the anime until the manga was further ahead. Recently, chapter 55 was released last week translated, and episode 34 was released very recently. Episode 35 is out tomorrow. That means that on average the anime will catch up within 20 weeks. It's literally almost moving 4 times faster then the manga.

Currently, I'm expecting the anime to remain (mostly) true to the manga up to the current manga arc. From there, they can adapt or totally change the arc to suit whatever ending they are planning. But I do not understand how they could wrap up all of the major baddies in the eps left though, so my guess is they might pull an original movie/OVA later to finish off whoever is left standing, if profit/interest permits. Although, IMO, the current manga arc is terribly interesting in how an amazingly good-sized chunk of the cast is in the same place at the same time. A lot of Shibusen's problems could be cleaned up here as there's only one major baddie unaccounted for. It gives me hope that perhaps the series can end somewhat faithful to the manga, if unfinished story-wise. |
