[Shiroth]

I can officially say without having seen this episode yet, and it'll be the best of the series.

About time the legend made his appearance. A whole episode just on him, yay!

Just one thing to say ...

Spoiler for Episode 18 preview:

EVE FESTIVAL FTW!!!!

(No comment on this ep', still didn't watch it. Yeah, The SHAME.)

[Zoe]

This episode automatically fails by featuring Ox but not having any Harvar

I hate that I wasn't able to catch the live airing. I wanna hear Excalibur singing over the commercials

Edit:

Spoiler for 18 preview, hehe:

I was wondering if Bones was going to be brave enough to let this slip past unaltered. Guess not.

What gets me is that they really think this is an improvement...

[Quen]

This ep's preview has probably made me look forward more to the next ep than any so far

Yeah. The song played through the entire commercial break. Most of the commercials were Soul Eater related, except partially the first one (It delt with Square Enix's Gan Gan magazine). I was hoping one of the raw cappers would have a sense of humour and leave it in, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

However, I wanted to actually wanted to kill something after about a minute or two of the commercials. God it was annoying, but amusing at the same time.

18 preview

Spoiler:

so the Kishin is arc is next week?

that seemed really fast for some reason.

[lmd_84]

In terms of the manga, it's bang up to date, IIRC - in one way or another, every chapter before the Kishin arc has been covered in the anime.

Yeah, and if they hadn't condensed Free's mini-arc and added this episode, we would still be starting the next arc with 18.

[ellifeedn]

So they screwed Free's arc with an extra Excalibar episode. I think Excalibar can go to hell for all I care.

[lmd_84]

Not sure about that. One filler is one filler and regardless of how (un)popular the 'Legend' might be, he provides ample non-canon/plot material for times when such stuff is needed. Whether it's any good is a matter of opinion.

The condensing of Free's arc might have been less to do with Excalibur and more to do with pacing later on; they have got a massive amount of material to cover throughout the next arc and so far there's little indication Bones is going to drop the manga storyline any time soon. My current estimate is that if they intend to do so, they'll start to really diverge from the manga over the next few episodes, and then hit their own material by developing on what they've established but I could be wrong...
