Soul Eater – 09


After the rather serious previous episodes, we finally get another comedy-episode, in which the strange fairy-like creature of the OP gets introduced. It turns out to be Excalibur, with a head so full of himself that it makes even Black Star sick. This episode was downright hilarious, with many thanks to the wonderful combination of Death the Kid and Black Star.

One thing I’m wondering: we see Black Star read an English comic in this episode, and yet he had huge problems with reading the word “Excalibur”. Small writer’s mistake?

In any case, what I’d like to see in the next couple of episodes is more about Tsubaki. For the past number of episodes, all she did was watch from the side-lines, do nothing, and clean. I’d love to see her in a situation where the writers make fun of her personality.

  1. weird, my comment wasn’t included after I copy-pasted what I said x_X Anywayz, what I meant to say is:
    Maybe Black Star’s one of the types who read comics without really understanding it but just by basing illustrations. Like a fan who doesn’t udnerstand japanese reading raw manga xD hehe

    this episode is so fun ^___^

  2. English probably isn’t Black Star’s first language. Given that he’s had ninja training but he’s residing in the middle of Nevada, English is likely his second language.

  3. psgels watches most of his anime RAW, and from japanese sharing networks. So he’s quicker than most blogs.

  4. I found Excalibur to be annoying. Not in the way the show intended. More like, after the episode was over, I had the distinct feeling that I never wanted to see that character again.

    May be just a first impression. I’m prone to changes in mindset.
