Death the Kid is absolutely hilarious although abandoning the lovely Patty and Liz to check if his painting was askew is going too far! The whole symmetry idea is pretty well droned onto the viewers and I laughed every time he obsessed about it. Hopefully, this kind of reoccurring joke won’t go stale fast. Hopefully because that seems to be all that he is about. XD
Patty and Liz are a cool pair of weapons. I loved their tag team style fight switching weapon and user where necessary. I say this every episode but what really gets me is the fluidness of the action which gives it a much better flair than most other shounen shows I have seen (some have it at parts but Soul Eater is delivering it consistantly). I hope they do keep the high standard up as this is shaping up to be one of the greats…
Kid is really really creepily obsessive, almost being stabbed and hammered to death because the thing he was fighting was beautifully symmetrical… When the Pharoah’s true form was revealed though, a little awkward pause and then utter annihilation via bullet spam. Aggressive and angry Kid is scarily cool. Although I still think his gun style is pretty weird with the pinkies…
And because I missed out last week, episode 2 with Black Star and Tsubaki was also awesome. The fight with Mifune kicked all kinds of ass, and the final attack after he got serious was so cool. This show is just chuck full of awesome characters. I loved Tsubaki trying to get Black Star to go about his assassin business better but alas he utterly fails to be stealthy in his kills or his peeking trips.
The prologue is over now. The story really begins. I am excited at where this may go!
On a related note, I am following the late night version so am somewhat behind most others but whatever. It may not be worth it because I hear tell that there is little difference. Hell, if the normal version still has Liz and Patty bandage molested, then what was the need of a late night version. Although Kid awkwardly about to leave them alone to their business was s funny. Damn excellent.
