The previous thread isn't full, but it is old as dirt so I figured this is as good a time as any to make a new one.

I am disappointed that, while we got cameos from characters as minor as Hiro, the little girl Medusa possessed, and that girl who claimed she should replace Maka as Soul's partner (hell, I think see Meme in that crowd shot on page 34), we don't see Ragnarok or Table of Context at all--we're just left to assume what happened to them.

BREW
Book of Eibon

>> No. 84401
>>84391
In the manga Eibon turned out to be hiding on the island Brew was hidden on, pretending to be one of the holograms (chapter 87). Presumably he's still there now.
In hindsight I'm kind of confused at the point of this revelation, considering all he did was have a short conversation with Kid that didn't tell us much of anything.

As for the rest:
Brew and the Book of Eibon are almost definitely there. Crona needed them to form the seal and probably needs them to maintain it. Even if he didn't, Crona has no apparent means of or reason to get rid of them.

While Index and the unnamed Great Old One are probably still in the Book of Eibon, it might not matter that they're on the moon: G.O.O. chooses to stay inside the book. Index probably can't leave (because he's part of the book), apparently can't communicate with someone outside the book, and he doesn't have any Noahs left to do his dirty work. Crona probably can't go into the book without leaving Asura's seal unattended, if at all. And we saw you can go into the book from a remote location; the opposite might be possible thus Crona sure as hell isn't going to let Asura into the thing.


Ragnarok in general is strange because, since Crona's first appearance after the Book of Eibon arc, Ragnarok became far less prominent as an individual character--to the point that he effectively vanished from the series some time ago.

Right after Crona fused with the clown, Ragnarok was still being his usual, pushy self. The only difference is that Ragnarok stopped emerging from Crona except as a head (though he was able to control that third arm long enough to pull up Crona's robe).

Next time we saw them, fighting the Russian Death Scythe, Ragnarok talked (briefly). It was from then on he was nothing but sounds and gibberish. They apparently killed Medusa right after getting back from there, so it couldn't have been something she did afterward.

After Asura absorbed Crona, we never saw Ragnarok at all, only Crona's mind. That might have destroyed their shared body, killing Ragnarok but not Crona for some reason.

And about those people in the mad blood spheres (the Russian Deathscythe, his partner, and a town in Ukraine): this might be confusion from poor translation, but is it possibly reversible or are they all dead? Were Maka and Soul just trying to break that sphere open to free that soul from some horrible afterlife?

It's back starting this month, with three new chapters.

For those who haven't heard, it's got an official simultaneous release in the online magazine Yen Plus. Admittedly, it's not a great deal ($3 per issue, you can only read the chapters that came out in the last two months, and nothing else in the magazine is even slightly interesting to me), but I like it enough that I take it anyway.

These chapters were about: baseball, Kim's age, airport security.

>Airport security? Are they going on a vacation or mission?
No, just a one-off joke. The main three characters of Not! don't even go on missions, because they and the majority of the academy's students are in the NOT class (which is mandatory for weapons). Only the best students (which is all of the ones we know of in the main series) are allowed in the EAT class, who actually fight for Death.

>How old is Kim any way?
Exactly what what Jackie was wondering.

On a different note, the volume version of chapter 112 had a scene that was cut from the magazine version: Asura tried to keep Soul and Maka from leaving, but all he managed to do was remove their black blood, hence Maka's outfitted changing color. Your guess is as good as mine as to why something that important was removed, but then put back in.

Personally, I'm more concerned with the manga getting picked up by some scan group now that the simultaneous release ended. Otherwise, there won't be any new chapters in English until volume four or even five--and Japan is just getting volume three!

Although maybe the anime will kick up enough interesting in the manga--increasing sales of the (more profitable) source material is most of the reason anime gets greenlit nowadays.
>> No. 87632
So it turns out Not! is ending in two or three months (whichever the "June issue" refers to), and the anime is going to follow the story all the way to the end.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-12/atsushi-ohkubo-works-on-soul-eater-not-manga-last-volume

It's nice that the anime will have an actual ending. Especially since I'll probably be able to watch it subbed before the manga is scanned or officially released.

Yeah. I mean, I wasn't a huge fan of Soul Eater's art style (primarily the pig noses), but turning it into a super-generic style just makes it worse. Disappointed.

If I didn't recognize Soul and Maka, or they didn't have the academy behind them in the last shot, I would not have known it was related to Soul Eater from just the video alone.

>> No. 88412
I'll give NOT! this: The apparent main character, Tsugumi, at least had a straight introduction into the DWMA. No legendary fighter, or even the characters from Soul Eater, had a fight in front of her and wound up having to use her in battle; she wasn't some weapon/meister fan from an early age and *finally* had her chance to become one or the other and enroll; and there was no hence-unknown family secret about being weapons.

It was just "Whoops I guess I'm a weapon!" and off we go. Refreshing in its brevity.

But otherwise it's moe blob shit. Not even two episodes under the belt before we do a cafe. The constant blushed cheeks and raw knees/elbows are weird, too. Though if they weren't 14 I'd probably give it more time because it causes the yuri goggles to freak out.

Although a nickname for Meme could be "Forget-me-NOT". Hurp hurp hurp...
