Damn....still no new opening this episode. Rachel is cute, but the new loli Medusa is even cuter. Evil Loli FTW! This episode was all about the buildup.
And some comedy, of course. Medusa is in chibi form, but she still is creepy. Also, chibi-medusa doing a curtsey.....KAWAI!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zoe]

1.5 chapters this time.

Spoiler for preview for 30:

Maka said she won't be appearing next week. That's a fairly substantial cut...

The lack of opening is becoming a trifle annoying I am afraid

No, it's not. TV Tokyo still lists Resonance.

[FlareKnight]

Oh well I guess the new OP will come one day .

Spoiler:

Find it hard to see the new Medusa as cute considering what she's done. Taking a kids body like that just keeps putting her higher on the list of people I want finished for good this time. Bad enough she ruins her own kids life, but now ruins the life of some other innocent child?

Situation with Black Star is a bit worse than I expected. Thought he wouldn't take that complete loss to Mifune well. Now he's going around on his own fighting duels against various teams in Shibusen. Leaving Tsubaki behind while he does this. On one side winning by himself is pretty impressive, but its not smart to be distancing himself from his partner. This will clearly lead to some problem down the road.

Overall was a good episode with building things up. The team soul resonance looks pretty promising in theory. I say theory since practise involved them trying to kill each other while trying to kill Stein.

Seems like a build-up for another BlackStar x Tsubaki moment is coming up.

When the heck do they plan on releasing the new OP, or is there really a new OP? What if the one in previous fight's just a cut in lol...

Looking forward to next ep's fight, kid looks a lot like his father from preview of next ep

bah..i agree completely, i was looking forward to it this week. oh well, the episode sure looks good though

[orangejuicetang]

Medusa should make the arachne Shibusen conflict a lot more interesting at the very least...

[Reincarnated]

did someone tell us that there's no new OP this month? ^^;

[KiNA]

Soul Eater suffers from the lack of speed subbing group ._.

Anyway, to the story... I can feel it.. its getting near !

Its Pumpkin panties time!!!!!

[Deathkillz]

Spoiler:

Medusa is back!!

Though I have to agree with FlareKnight...ruining that poor child's life like that...and I also always wondered why she chose to possess a child's body rather than an adult...maybe she is trying to make full use of the cute/loli factor

Still, I like her character enough for her not to be killed but just remember that this comes at the cost of someone else's life ;_____;

The fight between mosquito and chainsaw was awesome!
I wished they did a full on fight lol...

[DmonHiro]

She didn't really have a choice in the matter. She gabbed the first body she found. Well...the second body, actually. The first one was to dog. It could have been anyone, she didn't seek out a little girl in particular. And some people act like it's the first time a little kid was possessed in an anime.

[Clarste]

I kinda got the impression that she was going to possess the mother but she woke up too soon and then Medusa aborted the plan and claimed to have had a nightmare...

Sure she had a choice. She could have taken the loss maturely and died. She's been alive for hundreds of years time to move on. Or she could have stayed as that snake. Sure she jumped on the first opportunity that came along, but there is nothing saying she had to act right then. What are we going to do blame the victim for being in the wrong place?

[lmd_84]

Taken the loss maturely? Sensible, and understandable.

But Medusa isn't sensible in the usual sense of the word. True, she could have died and let Spirit take her soul, but I don't think that even came to mind once she was cut in two. I'm saying that mostly because I don't think resurrecting the Kishin was ever Medusa's ultimate goal. If that was the case, 'sensible' for her would be to survive however possible (snake transformation, possessing dog and now child...) and continue her machinations.

Even if getting Asura back was Medusa's only intention, wouldn't she want to take the chance, any chance, to experience this world of madness she'd started into being? Certainly seemed all for such a thing during the fight with Stein. *shrug*

Uhm...Medusa is THE BAD GUY! You are talking as if she is NOT the one who: abused and broke her own chlild, turned said child into a walking weapon, planned and completed the resurrection of THE most evil beeing on the planet, not to mention all the stuff she did in between. Why WOULD she accept her death? Bottom line: she jumped in the first human body she found. Could have been ANYONE. Hell, could have been a meister. She dosen't care. She did EXACTLY what someone like her would do. If she had jubt accepted death THAT would have been wierd for her, seeing as she always puts herself first.
