Broken Anime

Impending Doom.

Episode 14 “(Super) Written Test〜 Heart-Throbbing, Trembling, Nervous, Lies？〜” at a glance:

It’s testing time at Shibusen… Steins administering a test thats meant to test everything that they should know as students and as meisters/weapons in general. Many have different plans for how to pass the test… Whether it be intense studying like Maka, working out like Black Star, or even doing ritualistic chants like Maka’s father (for her sake). When it comes to the test though, the only one who doesn’t crack under pressure, get caught cheating or completely forget about what a taking a test means is Maka, who is under a lot of pressure to score the highest in her class like her legendary mother had before her. In the end, Maka can rest assured as she gets a perfect score and tops the class charts, hopeful of one day making Soul Eater a Deathscythe and following in her mother’s footsteps.

Why meow for attention when you can do this? (Nyannn ~^-^~)

This is how I study

Kid’s perfectly symmetrical drawing of Liz?

Deathscythe spends half this episode chanting.

This is why you shouldn’t cheat on tests.

Patty: Stupider than first imagined

Soul Eater knows how to cheat in style.

She did this entirely with test papers and crayons…

Perfect time for an autograph.

2nd place… “Ox Ford” lol.

Maka and Deathscythe when young… Even as a guy, I thought these pictures were cute.

And he read to Maka… whatever happened to this side of him?

Nyannnn

Mewww… spent all of Deathscythes money on herself instead of Maka.

A gift… from papa…?

Clueless.

The new ED: “Style” by Kana Nishino

The new ED has great art… a great song… but seriously, it shows the same shot of Maka walking/running looped for almost a minute! The shots above are literally almost all of the scene changes in the actual ED. The quality was superb.. but enticing and interesting? It was definitely not.

Review: I guess tests are at every school you could go to…

This episode doesn’t really go anywhere… the only thing it really does besides provide some pretty hysterical laughter is offer a deeper insight into Maka’s relationship with her parents. The photoalbum with her and Deathscythe when they were younger was pretty cute. He was probably quite the pimp, he was only 18 when Maka was born (younger than me O_O, and no, I do not have any children… that I know about…).

All in all… Yes, the classroom antics were funny. Yes, I found myself laughing hysterically from time to time as the show played off of the character’s personalities even more. But, if you’re looking for another action-packed episode of Soul Eater, this is one you can skip right on through.

Preview:

Contrary to the episode 14, the next one looks like its going to be an action-packed time in Soul Eater… Also, the return of Chrona and Ragnarok in episode 15, “Black Dragon that Eats Souls～Cowardly Liz and Her Pleasant Companions？～”.
