what went wrong

>>279899316 (OP)
Honestly as mediocre as the ending was...I can't really hate it.

Black Star. Obnoxious fuckwit with a single hyperbolised character trait every scene he's in revolves around. Couldn't stand him in the manga, so definitely not going to check out an animated adaptation where audible vocals are appended to his shouting.

>>279899491
Chad Star is the strongest whether you like it or not

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it
But the show and manga were pretty mediocre
Or maybe mediocre is too harsh, but it wasn't that good
I love the art style th and the whole vibe

not enough Patty feet

>>279899316 (OP)
Bad ending. That's pretty much it.

>>279899316 (OP)
They deviated from the manga. Not really their fault though.

>>279900120
The mango wasn't done by the time the show was made so they had to

Bones had a tendency to write retarded endings for their Shonen adaptations, FMA being the only decent exception.

>Anime courage punch
>Everyone makes fun of it
>Mfw the manga made a courage punch too

Author is trolling everyone on purpose, i just fucking know it

>>279900579
>>Mfw the manga made a courage punch too
I really don't remember that part. I do remember how BS swallowed a magic nuke before puking it.

>>279899491
t. maka

>>279899316 (OP)
The anime didn't get to adapt the whole manga. Manga was great and then it got a prequel series that's getting fully adapted. Not much wrong with it at all.

Mangaka is a women

>>279899316 (OP)
The MC.

>>279899316 (OP)
That spinoff

>>279899316 (OP)
not enough maka

>>279899491
What about that part early on where Tsubaki is fighting her brother?
BlackStar sits and watches. He gives a little speech about how he is letting her take the lead role.
Then when some villagers and the kids start throwing rocks at him, he just takes it because he is there to watch over Tsubaki. He only moves when a kid tries to whack Tsubaki with a stick and Black Star just blocks the stick and tells him to back off?

Black Star gives up the center stage and doesn't misuse his strength against the powerless NPCs. So that's more depth right there

I am a total sucker for this kinda shit. It gets me every single time even when I know it is coming.

>>279899316 (OP)
somehow both the anime staff and the author had no idea how to end it

>>279899316 (OP)
I think the whole last half of the Soul Eater anime lost the feel of the manga.
However, I will give credit to them for their ideas on how Maka fought in her scythe form. With the scythes taking different sizes and shapes to attack and trap the Kishin. That felt like something from Ohkubo and they deserve a lot of credit for that.

>>279899316 (OP)
That said, the courage punch is real bad.
The Kishin is an Old God of fear. It can't be so easily killed by a bit of courage. This should be obvious but its especially stupid because everyone that fought the Kishin was doing so with courage.
Even worse, Maka did it all on her own. It is fine that Kid and BS went down but Maka even went on without Soul as well. That isn't Soul Resonance. That isn't "Soul Eater"


Kishin also acted real dumb. I don't remember exactly but it seemed to act like animated Joker from Batman. That's how someone would write the Kishin after hearing about the concept of the character but it isn't at all like how Ohkubo portrayed the character.

>>279905983
They don't mention in the anime that Kid and Asura are brothers

>>279899316 (OP)
Ohkubo

>>279899316 (OP)
everything

>>279899316 (OP)
the anime ending was shit but it's not like the manga ending was that good either. I'll aplaud kubo for not giving a happy ending to crona tho, way more interesting than having him just become good.

>>279907948
the manga ending is bad

Not enough Black Star (hot version)

>>279899491
wtf why would someone hate the best character? Black star was the only reason to read this manga. Most of the characters were faggy and annoying like Chrona

>>279899905
I agree. Because I love Liz and if there is more Patty then more there is Liz

>>279908172
They barely showed Maka's feet

>>279899316 (OP)
Both the endings sucked, but other than that it was pretty good.

>make Soul Eater
>people hate the ending

>make Fire Force
>people say the ending is the best part

I wonder what Ohkubo learnt.

>>279899316 (OP)
Okubo can't write consistently good no matter what, so you end up having mediocre stories with great parts

>>279905730
>>279905746
>>279905759
>>279905770
This is one of the highest tier of wanking you can give to a character. Making them appear super noble and good, by "not taking the spotlight" and "helping the weak". You can basically find this in all the most wanked characters in manga: Jellal, Yuno, Yukio, Benimaru, Bakugo, etc
Black Star sucks

>>279899316 (OP)
Blair sexo

>>279909796

>>279899491
In the anime Black Star gets his ass kicked by the Kishin to the point he can't move anymore and Maka is the one who saves the day by beating him on her own, the anime fellates Maka while the manga fellates Black Star, I personally like Maka more so I think the anime is better overall

>>279909804
>>279909866

>>279899568
>Chad Star is the strongest whether you like it or not
Excalibur is the strongest tho

>>279909918
No matter the world, no matter the year, Excalibur will always be there outliving Shit Star

>>279909796
>>279909904

>>279899491
He was popular at the start of the manga in Japan, but as soon as the mangaka wanking him nonstop he dropped in popularity with Soul, Maka and Kidd all beating Black Star in popularity by the end of the manga, what I didn't like is that in the manga after they trap Kishin in the moon there are crowds of people praising Black Star surrounding him and claiming he's a God now with the other half praising Kidd, the teachers even said "As long as Black Star and you Kidd are alive we have nothing to fear", while Maka is just sitting far away on some stairs alone with Soul, Maka was the sole reason they managed to trap Kishin on the Moon as she convinced Crona to help her and Soul yet the only person who gave her any sort of rightful credit was Kidd, that's why I like the anime better, the mangaka clearly was butthurt over it's changed in the anime original half so he went out of it's way to do the exact opposite from it in the manga as much as he could
>>279909974
Even his student based his Soul Eater drawings out of the anime version

>>279899839
The anime had a giant mecha fight, that alone bumps it over the manga IMO

>>279909796
Based

>>279908724
how can you say that this guy sucks? He fucking learned too fly just through will power. He can grab laser beams as if they were actual physical objects.

>>279900579
Ohkubo oversaw the anime original ending. So he just told them to do that because he was planning something similar.

>>279910585
The main girl from Soul Eater NOT learned how to fly in 11 episodes while Soul took the entire manga to do so, that doesn't make her good

>>279909804

>>279899316 (OP)
Nothing? It's a beloved classic.

>>279910636
Funny how they never showed up in the main manga (only the bodyguards did), they actually managed to pull off overpowered techniques without training including flying and they beat up and killed one of the Medusa sisters long before the main cast ever fought the other 2, these girls seemed far more competent that the main cast overall

>>279910636
don't you mean blackstar? I thought soul learned to fly like half way through but it's been a long time since I read it.

>>279899316 (OP)
I'm rereading it because of your Soul Eater threads.

>>279910585
Nobody likes a op plot breaking Gary stu.

black star is cringe I'm glad the kishin shat on him

>>279899316 (OP)
That turbofaggot Ohkubo didn't continue the catfight.

What's your favorite music from the anime? Mine favorite is Psychadelic Souljam

>>279910835
Papermoon is one of my favorite OPs of all time

>>279899316 (OP)
Maka was only barefoot on covers and volume extras instead of the actual story

>>279910870
good shit. instantly takes you back to the 2000s

>>279908724
It's called character depth and Taking the spotlight is not a common trope but it is specific to Black Star's established character.

>>279909866
That's not accurate. The manga ends with Maka saving the day with soul resonance and standing amongst Gods as a regular human.

>>279900579
>>279910614
When did the manga courage punch happen?

>>279910585
>lol just want it enough
boring rule-breaking character

>>279911073
He was constantly training throughout the manga

>>279905708
And that was a cool moment. But then what? After that he’s just “strong guy”. He doesn’t really develop much more as a character because he doesn’t need to. He’s just so strong and that’s all we get. The climax of his character occurs in his first couple of appearances.

>>279911162
training to bend light and ingest nukes?

>>279910585
Because overpowered character like him are boring in most cases, especially when wanked above and beyond

>>279911182
He is a crazy guy, really and he is strong because he pursues power. He has friendship with Soul and Killik and heart-to-hearts with Maka, Kid, Mifune, Tsubaki and even a bit with Crona. He has a strong personality and is more then just a strong guy.

>>279911243
That's because of the madness of the Soul Eater world.
So, yes, he could do that thanks to all his training.

>>279911162
him also working hard is irrelevant to my statement that he's a boring rule-breaking character, which he is.
no matter how hard you train you can't fly.

>>279911429
... In manga you can. Its a combo of constant training, fervent belief and being gifted power from an Old God of... Power if I remember right. Oh, and a combo of the Soul Eater world being crazy for that matter.

>>279911516
>it's a wacky world so anything goes!
yawn

>>279911655
Well, no. That's not what I said. I guess you'll just never get it.

>>279911887
Well, yes. That's what you said. I guess you'll just never get it.

>>279910076

>>279910636

>>279910636
>>279911988

>>279911004
That's accurate tho, the manga actually fellates Black Star and Kidd and ends with Maka and Soul alone on the stairs when her looking up, no matter how many mental gymnastics you use everything said above actually happened

>>279912056
Maka an Soul are surrounded by the entire school and they are the ones who actually beat the Kishin whereas Kid and Black Star couldn't.
That's what actually happened in the manga.

>>279911957
>>279912007

>>279909866
>That's accurate tho, everything said above actually happened
Yes

maka voice sexoooooooo

>>279912056
>>279912213
I wonder if he was the mangaka's self insert or something

>>279912235
Both in Soul Eater and Fire Force it's clear he has personal favorite characters who he's biased towards. It's nothing new, even the author of Golden Kamui had that problem

>>279910660
Cute cat

>>279899491
Quality bait

>>279912499
Is it bait if his popularity decreased over the course of the story leaving him behind?

>>279911429
>no matter how hard you train you can't fly.
Jump good

>>279909936
This shit looks like fucking Gorillaz

>>279911429
>no matter how hard you train you can't fly.
The Blair witch was flying in chapter 1 of the manga. Then Death's Kidd flew in chapter 3. I'm not going to go through the effort of tabulating but it wouldn't be strange if some 1/3 of the SE cast can fly in the end.
>no you don't understand Maka can only fly because she has a 50 000 000 : 1 snowflake soul type that was never talked about before.
if OKubo had said that Black Star is using the same mechanic that Mifune uses to levitate his swords and exposits for 2 pages about the workings of this new skill that Black Star isn't going to get to be able to use because the story is ending, would that make you like the character better?

>>279912213
So desperate you included a scene of him... talking to the kid witch?

>>279915325
he killed the loli's dad (adopted) and she's literally (figuratively) salivating over his manhood.

>>279899491
Literally just a far better Naruto. Keep hating.

>>279915476
He is taking over the same father role that Mifune did in order to honor him. Its showing a a bit more maturity from him then usual and the loli is responding to a new father figure.

>>279915476
That's so hot it gave me a chub.

>>279899316 (OP)
Nothing, Soul Eater is good from the beginning to the end, both manga and anime.
I guess those spinoffs are trash but that can easily be ignored.

I'd love to discuss how fat Patty's tits are
