Soul Eater – Episode 17

**********************************************************

Humour: 10/10 (the man at the bar doing all the shaking was especially brill)
Overall Rating: 10/10 (pretty good for a random ep)

**********************************************************

In honour of the main star of this episode, I have now renamed it not “Soul Eater” but rather “Excalibur.” So please make sure you don’t get confused – this episode is Excalibur, Episode 17. Okay, yeah, this is Soul Eater Episode 17, but seeing as no one really turns up apart from Excalibur, I thought it could well have been renamed at this point. To be honest, there really isn’t much to say about this episode, except that it’s essentially filler before the big run-up episode that will follow. Of course, the irony and qualities of Excalibur are, put bluntly, awesome – perhaps the most annoying character created, he’s absolute gold to watch, and having seen him interact with Kid and Black Star in a previous episode, it’s kinda nice to see him again. ^^

Oh yes, perhaps an explanation of why I jumped from episode 15 to 17 and skipped blogging 16. Well, to be quite honest, my download for episode 16 is being too slow for my liking, so I decided to just leave it for now and just go ahead to 17 otherwise I’d drop behind again in blogging – plus I have a pretty good idea of what happens in 16 anyways. I’m by no means skipping watching it, but I’ll skip blogging it – apologies to anyone who wanted to read about it.

The super short summary of this would be:

Oxford (a classmate of Soul, Maka and the rest of the gang from Shibusen) has come to the legendary cave, to find the legendary sword Excalibur. Excalibur reveals his non-weapon form and then describes his wondrous life and why we should all be sooo impressed with him, his might, and the great deeds he’s done. By the end of this, Ox can’t take it anymore and puts Excalibur back in the ground. He was going to write his school report on Excalibur, but he’s too annoying – what?! Are you mad? The great Excalibur, annoying?! Lol – great episode when it comes to filler humour.

So now I will grace and humble your minds with images of Excalibur’s greatness – enjoy!

~Viz’s Word on the Episode~

Well quite honestly it was randomly funny, the scene with Excalibur’s gang was hilarious due to the strange movements they were doing, and the random words popping up like “nice guy” and “pencil” – pencil was my fave actually. Then we have the scene where he “solves” the mystery with Sherlock Holmes and names Watson as the criminal when the butler is quite clearly twirling the murder weapon around. Of course who can forget the bartender mixing the drink in the scene where Excalibur finds his girlfriend – the number of odd ways he shakes that thing – and the speed! You think it’s over – no – he shakes it some more!

Ovearll, the episode was pretty good and a remake of sorts of Death the Kid and Black Star’s adventure to find Excalibur, being just as funny if not more so. From the preview the next episode looks really good! Make sure you tune into that =D.

Viz, signing out!
