I didn't think Soul was able to see it, just Maka. So then I'd assume only Technicians could see them

That's a hasty conclusion, based on one weapon. Soul is competent enough but hardly any model student. Perhaps if somebody told him it's cool to see the souls, he would train to do so...
If somebody told Black Star all big men have seen the souls, he would also strive to learn the skill. However, I reckon this series works better when those dudes and dudettes are somewhat flawed in various ways.

Funnier. Cooler. Best episode to date.

I laughed a good amount this episode.
As did I. Especially the part where Soul and Black Star started talking about how they can't be together anymore. LOL.Originally Posted by animus

I laughed a lot.
Between constantly asserting that Liz and Patty are "from the streets, yo" to all the incredibly stupid things Black Star and Soul were doing.
The part that really got me was when Black Star caught Soul with his head, squeezed his hair together to stop the bleeding, and then struggled to lift Soul, causing him to spout a fountain of blood that increased every time he strained harder.
Patty's psycho laugh makes a bit more sense now though. She probably is an insane killer, but now laughs it off since she has the easy life.
We also got a very clear answer on our question of who can see souls and who can't among the three teams. Tsubaki is still a little unclear, but if Black Star can't, it's either a special skill only the highly trained or disciplined can see, and it doesn't stick to "technicians can, weapons can't."
A great episode. I wonder though why Black Star and Soul were so totally incompatible considering they are otherwise so similar: One wants to be Cool and one Big, and both ready to do goofy deeds for that end. You'd think they would have at least some harmony of souls. Unless it's so that the souls indeed need to be quite different yet supporting of each other in order to work in appropriate harmony. In that case the similarity between Soul and Black Star would explain this ep.
In any case Tsubaki is a real saint to tolerate someone like Black Star. That guy is a total and complete idiot.
It's because they are so alike that they aren't compatible at all. Both of them are attention whores who want to do things Cool and Big.
If they are both trying to run the whole show and...well, show off, then they're competing rather than harmonizing. All ego, and like Black Star keeps repeating, you can't have two stars.
Tsubaki works because she's more than happy to let Black Star lead. She has infinite patience and tolerance, at least so far. Maka and Soul work for a different reason. Maka wants to succeed, and Soul wants to do everything "cool." They are towards the same goal, but compliment each other since Maka doesn't mind being a little to the side as long as everything goes smoothly and Soul is happy to let her take the lead as long as it all looks very cool (and with Maka's skills at scythe wielding, it usually does). Maka and Soul share the stage, equally.
But wasnt it mention that their Souls wherent synchronized, thus the reason the first Soul Resonece went totally failure?
And I did also love the last scene in this episode, for just some reason...
little soul your dreams are waitin'
crapping up...
hold them closely
never let go, never let go... <3
Are you referring to episode 4 where Soul and Maka used Resonance of Souls? If so, it actually succeeded, and you could see the Witch Hunter Scythe. Maka was just clumsy and directed the attack at Black Star instead.

Finally some Rumbel, Late Night Version:

Will watch tonight hopefully.
The new Rumbel typesetting is not sitting well with me.
They fucked up in this episode alone, they forgot to attach the fonts... here they are in case you want to attach them yourself:

Or you can just install the fonts in your pc, it'll work just the same.

Finally, the series' warmup is finally over, time for some action (Drama?).

If you've never installed new fonts before scroll down to DmonHiro's explanation of how to install them.
Just making this thread so that people can talk about interesting news stories or articles that concern Soul Eater.
With that said, apparently there are two anime specials being made for the series:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...o-air-in-japanThe official Japanese website for the Soul Eater anime seres has announced that two specials will air in Japan in two weeks. The "Clip! Clap!" special will air on May 28 at 26:50 (effectively 2:50 a.m. the next day), and the "Ninki Bakuhatsu! Soul Eater Oitsuke! Oikose! Saki made Misemasu!" special program will air on June 1 at 10:30 a.m.
hmm...is this a normal occurance, for a program to have 2 special episodes like that? Does it mean that Soul Eater is really popular in japan?
Certainly not a normal occurance I think. What I want to know is if this is similar to the "Naruto one hour specials" which is simply 2 episodes aired back to back, or will this specials will simply be new material in addition to the series episodes.

AEN's translation was much worse than normal. It clearly didn't go through any kind of QC, lots of obvious errors. They had been improving so much with Soul Eater too.
Anyway...it is time to discuss a few details about Chrona.
Not that I can read Japanese, but there are plenty of people who can, and they've been fairly open about stating that Soul Eater's official site lists Chrona's gender as "Unknown."
The dialogue supports it. Chrona refers in the first person with "boku." Intentionally ambiguous. Chrona also says several times, "I'm not good with girls." Leading us to the conclusion that Chrona is a boy. Yet, Chrona is rail thin, and wears a dress. Chrona has no figure, so for all we know it could be priestly robes (and the design kind of looks like that).
Chrona is played by Maaya Sakamoto, someone who is well known for playing girlish boys, and boyish girls. Again, I'm sure the casting was chosen very carefully with that in mind. The effect is lost in the English translation versus the Japanese, because we do not have many genderless or ambiguous pronouns for people.
Chrona's gender goes unverified for a very long time in the manga. I believe that any confirmation of Chrona's gender should be considered a spoiler.
But feel free to speculate away.
That said, I've always thought Chrona was a girl. Chrona wears a dress...therefore Chrona is a girl. Then again, my judgment on traps is really not all that great.
