    I don't read the manga. Should I ? Are you telling me they're canceling the show ? I never like reading the manga because I like see the animation in action. I wouldn't get the same feeling as I do watching the show, but if I'm missing out on some good storylines I might have to check them out.

    Do you recommend any other animes like Soul Eater? I just finished Soreit Mobi or something like that it was amazing.

    i dunno, but it really looks like it. in the manga, they are enganged in a operation against arachnophobia atm, but the whole setup is *extremely* different, at the end of that mission to get brew, where maka uses the demon hunter, thats the first division i noticed (in the manga, its a attack that she can only use in response to extreme insanity, and she uses it for the first time in a possessed factory during a mission) and from there things have gotten even more different,

    we havnt even seen the Kinshin since it escaped, meaning here is still going to be atleased another arc (probably more) when the current one (attack on arachnophobia) ends,
    in the anime, a half dozen subplots (including kim's u_u) have been cut, so all the story that leads from them is null, and all the bad guys have been gathered into a neat little package, with shibusen set on the warpath, doesnt look promising for any more story arcs does it?

    that said, i do hope we get to see Black Star master tsubaki's other demon-blade modes... that was awesome.

    if you want, ill pm you a list of the differences that i can remember, and you can decide if you want to read the manga or not

    kim is the cat chick that lives with maka right? yea i was wondering what happened to her in the anime - she shows up in the first ep but then only makes a half nude appearance every 10 ep, or you see her in the background

    was beginning to wonder why she was even there


    i know right? cause of that i had to start reading the manga which sicks so close to the anime i skiped the first 60 chapters manga only had some meaningless side stories in it =P

    another anime that stuck right to the manga was Berserk - i just finished reading the 31 volumns of it and cant wait for the next one to come out cause the storyline is still getting deeper and deeper. If you like demons and bloodshed go read it or watch the anime only 24-25 ep long (watched it before i watched stuff in subs so dunno if they have a berserk with subtitles)

    no.

    kim is the female pink-haired meister that fought alongside Ox and the-glove-guy on that island, her weapon is a lantern (the girl that Ox is in love with)

    she had a whole little sub plot in the manga, infact her presence on the island was meant to set that up, which leads to certain other events which caused Ox and herself to become involved on the attack on arachni

    but shes just a bit character in the anime u_u
