Ah, once finished with this I’ll be able to go back to regular episode reviews! So much simpler than having to sit down and write an extremely long post!
So in the second half of this post I’ll be covering Toradora!, Skip Beat!, and Soul Eater. I’m rather pleased with all of these anime at the moment! ^.^ I had a lot of fun marathoning what I’d missed.

Another delightful episode, filled with awesomeness, as to be expected.
Black Star takes the stage again this week…maybe that’s why my thoughts on this episode are pretty much non-existent. Seriously, there isn’t much to say, other than it was good, and I know better things are coming! XD
A new plot thickens. XD A super-hot-super villian makes her debut! XD
Sooo late with this post! XD It was a good episode though! I was waiting to see a few parts of this! ^.^
Things are cooling off after the Kishin arc. So we get this lovely episode with a little bit of filler in it, but it had thing involving the plot as well.
Summary
Maka is worrying about Chrona in the beginning of this episode, which is making Soul worry about Maka. Shinigami discusses with Sid what best to do with Chrona, but neither of them really know how best to handle her.
Soul drags Maka out of the house (literally) to go play basketball. Maka puts up an argument about it and Soul tells Maka that all she ever does is read. They then meet up with Tsubaki and Black Star.
Meanwhile, all of the Death Scythes summoned by Shinigami begin to show up. The two Death Scythes Marie and Yumi are hanging out in the girls bathroom. Marie is saying that she shouldn’t have come, because she just wants to retire and get married. And she’ll have to see Stein again, who she used to have a crush on. She then puts on a rather comedic and violent display with a toilet.
Spirit is busy cleaning the hallways of Shibusen. Stein walks up and asks him what he’s doing and Spirit says that he’s afraid Shinigami is upset with him, and is going to transfer him out of Shibusen. Spirit is upset because he wants to stay by Maka’s side and also because he didn’t do a good job with helping Shinigami fight Kishin.
Marie and Yumi walk up to Stein and Spirit. Stein greets Yumi with “Class Prez” cause of their school days. They have a short conversation and one way or another Yumi fools them into standing in a formal straight line.
In Shinigami’s room Justin, the other Death Scythe is busy talking with Shinigami. Actually, he’s just yelling over his headphones, much to Shinigami’s annoyance. Spirit and the rest walk in, Spirit kicks Justin in the back and tells him to take out his headphones.
Shinigami starts talking about Kishin and the Wavelength of Insanity. Yumi and Stein are both particularly interested in the Wavelength. Shinigami assigns then different tasks. Marie is to be staying on as a teacher at Shibusen and looking after Stein, Yumi is to be stationed outside of the school doing research and Spirit, gets to stay with Shinigami as his Death Scythe. Justin is ordered to say on standby. Spirit is extremely happy that he didn’t get demoted. The four go the leave, but Spirit gets called back by Shinigami.
Maka is unhappy with being drug out of the house by Soul, and is sitting by the basketball court reading a bench. Liz didn’t show up for the basketball game so they need another player and Maka gets dragged onto the court. Maka is on Black Star and Patty’s team, where as Soul, Death the Kid, and Tsubaki are on the other. Soul says that they should make Maka team captain and Maka says she doesn’t know the rules of basketball. Black Star agrees and Maka becomes team captain. They make a bet to make things more interesting. And Black Star bets that if their team loses, Maka has to go on a date with her Dad. Maka freaks out and ask Black Star why he doesn’t want to be team captain, as he always wants to be number one. He says he really really wants too, but he’d let Maka be captain.
They start to play and Maka doesn’t understand a thing that’s going on. Stein and Marie are sitting on a bench watching the game, Marie telling Stein about how she just wants to get married and how carefree it must be to be a child. Spirit walks up to them and looks at Stein, thinking of what Shinigami said to him in private. Stein has already been infected with the Wavelength of Insanity that Kishin spreads.
The basketball game ends and Maka’s team lost, much to the amusement of everyone else. She’s upset because she didn’t know the rules of basketball and that caused her to have to ask her Dad out on a date. Maka walks up to Spirit while Soul and Black Star laugh at her, and asks her Dad to go out with her this Sunday. A little fantasy of helping Maka pick out clothes and buying her crepes unfolds in his head and he gets so happy that he explodes and then throws up.
Shinigami is talking to Sid again and he has come to the conclusion that Chrona will attend Shibusen. Sid asks if he’s serious and Shinigami says he is.
Opinions
This review is late. I was going to post it yesterday, but ended up having to work an extra shift at work, so didn’t have the time! Ah well, at least I’m posting it now.
Marie is really really blonde, and eye patches seem to be a common thing in anime now! I’m fine with that, I love girls with eye patches!!
Dorks, all of them! Look how fast Yumi whipped them into shape! 
For a holy man, Justin really is an idiot, but I really like his headphones…they have skulls on them…
ROFL! Ah, Spirit is such a dweeb! So happy that he too, worshiped Shinigami.
Maka with her hair down! I love her pig tails, but she’s cute like this too!
Everyone looks really good in casual clothes. And Soul…how does he pull that headband off?
Poor Maka! Not even knowing how to play basketball…She really is a bookworm. ^.^
The boys are mean! Laughing at Maka asking her Dad out!
Er…I’ve never really seen anyone so happy that they threw up before. It was kind of funny…so was watching Spirit explode! XD
