Summary:
Since Sid has no luck talking to Chrona, Maka and Marie bring Chrona out of her room to show her around the school. Chrona, however, doesn’t think that she’d do well here, so Maka suggests composing some poetry. Unfortunately, Chrona’s poetry turns out to be so dark though that it depresses everyone who reads it. Chrona then joins Maka in on an extracurricular lesson to a golem making village where an old golem has suddenly gone berserk. When Shinigami-sama learns out about this, he finds it alarming because golems are programmed only to protect, and he suspects that it might have something to do with the wavelength of madness. He tells Sid to contact Stein about this because he’s curious about Stein’s opinion about the matter. At around this time, Stein is off thinking about Chrona when he gets visions of Medusa telling him that he’s been infected with madness. It starts completely overwhelming his thoughts until Marie finds him and asks him about the golem incident. Returning to normal, Stein explains that golems aren’t programmed to destroy things, and though recent technology allows other programming, the golem in question is the oldest one.
However, Stein doesn’t think that this incident has to do with the wavelength of madness either because the order is all wrong: people should be the first affected, not a soulless golem. With all this in mind, he heads to the library to try to figure things out. Maka, Soul, and Chrona meanwhile have arrived at the village, but they discover that none of the people there want to tell them anything. They eventually meet a man named Giriko who offers to show them where the oldest golem is. That golem does indeed eventually appear, and Maka is shocked when she senses that it has a soul wavelength. What’s even more surprising is that Giriko is a weapon with a grudge against Shibusen, and he transforms into a chainsaw for the golem to use. Maka has a hard time going up against the golem on her own because of their difference in mass, but luckily, Chrona and Ragnarok are there as well, and after some negotiating with Ragnarok, the two are ready to fight.

Well the story’s moving along a lot quicker than I thought it would. It wasn’t so long ago that Chrona and Maka were fighting against each other, and now they’re fighting alongside each other against a new enemy. Stein also has progressed to the point where he seems to be mere seconds away from completely snapping, and so despite last week’s episode and maybe even the first half of this episode, it feels like they’re not wasting any time with the plot - that a very appealing aspect of this series for me. I’m curious to see if Stein ever does completely lose it or if he finds a way to channel that madness into power or if Marie remains the key to keeping him sane. For the time being though, I’m excited because it looks like Justin is going to reappear next week to help Maka and Chrona, and a new witch is going to show up as well - this time a spider themed one.

Chrona is suddenly one of the best characters.
Random muser at 7:06 am on October 1st, 2008

Chrona was always cool
Dane at 7:08 am on October 1st, 2008
Cute Maka is cute. I still don’t like Chrona, though. >_<
Random muser at 7:11 am on October 1st, 2008
It’d be nice to have seen more of GAR shinigami-sama though.
Another at 7:25 am on October 1st, 2008

Just like Claymore, the Soul Eater manga is monthly. This episode is chapter 24 and the most recent release is 53, so we’re almost halfway done. The current arc in the manga isn’t finished yet though, so I wonder how this show will end?
kaisis at 8:37 am on October 1st, 2008
Probably go take an original arc ala FMA
silver at 8:47 am on October 1st, 2008
i dont like that the story doesn’t continue with kishin.
it was getting really exiting and now there are some trolls. stupid trolls. just get the story going and get that kishin chopped up i wanne see that. shinigami - chop !
tommykn at 9:44 am on October 1st, 2008
no worries, this aren’t fillers, they are related to the plot…thought kishin won’t show himself for a while, since he has to recover his strength.
silver at 9:48 am on October 1st, 2008
hmmmmm
Sadmask at 9:54 am on October 1st, 2008

tommykn at 12:40 pm on October 1st, 2008

tommykn at 12:41 pm on October 1st, 2008
@giriku

That’s how it is in the manga. I guess that Kishin probably is going to be some kind of last bosses, so the mangaka decided not to go straight to him right away. Moreover, there is the problem that Shinigami-sama is the only one who can fight Kishin equally and he can’t leave the city, so at least some of the characters has to level up before they can truly catch on with that.
However, since the manga is still on going while anime has to end before that, they probably tie in the story for the character to meet Kishin somehow in the end.
