They may not follow manga closely from beginning to end. And current chapters are

basically opposite to the concept of stop point.

It's possible they could make a whole series and make it the first season, but I can't think there would be enough chapters out by the end to make a second season nor do I think they would keep up the great production values this series has at the moment.

How is this series doing anyway?

[Westlo]

Ratings are low (2.0%-2.5%) but I think Soul Eater will sell more dvds than say Bleach/naruto/one piece.

[HayashiTakara]

Who here feels that Medusa is going to be the witch Soul that Soul consumes for his 100th soul?

[Scep]

Am I the only one who felt it was strange how black star and kidd suddenly became such good friends? It's like, just 3 episodes? ago they were fighting each other, and this episode from the start they seemed to treat each other nicely. Maybe its because of their common ambitions, hm.

[KiNA]

I think its due to the fact that Kidd wasnt provoked in this episode.. Later on, when they embarked on the mission to find excalibur, their goal takes priority and finally, what they experience from excalibur himself made them closer

Still, given any chance, BS is definitely closer to Soul then to Kidd.

[Anh_Minh]

They're not the type to hold a grudge, apparently. They fought, it's done, bygones.

I actually liked that they kinda got a long and I agree with KiNA, Kid wasnt provoked. I mean in the earlier epi he arrives at school with BS out there waiting to fight him, not the best impression Plus it seems like alittle time has passed since Kid showed up. Im sure BS isnt high on his list of ppl he likes but also like KiNA said, they had a common goal and bonded over that but BS and Soul are def closer (even though they argue as well). And they both have a common dislike over Excalibur now (BAUKA!)

I did like the little handshake "we both have good partners" scene btwn Kid and BS.

Im sure BS tried to fight Soul at one point as well too He just seems like that type of person XD.

[Anh_Minh]

Don't think so. Soul can't really fight on his own, and fighting Maka would probably feel like picking on the weak to him.

[Deathkillz]

Yea, weapons themselves can't really do much unless you are like the sisters which one can wield the other.
We have already seen that pathetic display when Soul tried to fight kidd...it didn't have much effect at all

[White Manju Bun]

Thats why I said tried to fight Soul And I never said Soul fought back, it was more a look into BS's personality. And remember Soul did take part in the battle with Kid even if BS couldnt wield him.

I wonder how he'd go about swallowing that *huge* soul?

[The Real Nemo]

This was mostly a comedy ep, but we did get some more information about the Kishin and their origins which is cool as well.

Vacuum mode, lol, I'm sure theres a way.

Excalibur and Sword in the Stone is usually considered two seperate thing, kind of hit me how they considered it the same; and according to Post-Vulgate Merlin, Excalibur was actually from the Lady of the Lake. Overall the humor didn't really catch me, didn't feel so well about this episode.

[Zoe]

Anybody catch the late show?

I'm sure it would shrink in size after being defeated...

Only among those who study Arthurian legends a bit more seriously than the casual viewer. In most fictions I've seen, there's only one sword.

Sometimes Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone (the proof of Arthur's lineage) are said to be the same weapon, but in most versions they are considered separate. ~Wikipedia. According to Robert de Boron's Merlin, Excalibur was the sword that was pulled from the stone but according to Post-Vulgate Merlin, it was actually given from Lady of the lake. I just thought it was odd because people usually base it on the Post-Vulgate Merlin.

Like eating a sunny-side egg? Poke a whole in it and then suck like ones life depends on it. And then swallow.
