Re: Just a quick question

Well I've enabled anonymous commenting on all my posts, so you don't need to worry about getting deleted. :)

What are your opinions about how the plot's been progressing since the Baba Yaga arc?

Noah's bridge arc was entertaining. The Salvage arc started out strong and full of awesome potential, then managed to completely shoot itself in the foot in every way possible (with the exception of the Maka/Soul/Giricco stuff, which was actually pretty great). Everything post-Salvage has been entertaining again, albeit poorly paced, Well, except for the Noah/Gopher/Index stuff, which is insufferably stupid.

Um, is that what you were looking for?

Also, I'm kind of curious, what would you consider the usual Soul Eater writing flaws?
- Poor pacing
- Great ideas set up and then never followed through with (i.e. Noah, to name just one among many)
- Female characters other than Maka being largely ignored/reduced to background dressing (i.e. Liz and Patti, Tsubaki since the Baba Yaga arc, and especially the female adults in the Salvage battle)
- Smart characters making stupid choices just so that the plot can progress

I think those are the big ones.
