@@Plotbunnyhunter Yeah they kinda did just leave Crona on the moon. I don't know if its a cliff hanger that Maka said shed come back for them or just a straight up ending. Also, Asura still alive technically so idk. It kinda seems like a cliff hanger either a new chapter or a reboot of the anime following the manga can continue on.

trueeeeeeeeeeeeee the manga was so much better!!! I think if they did a manga reboot they would need to do it on the book of Eibon chapters, because we *clap* need *clap* that *clap* genderbend!!!

[@YourleftT0enail]

I KNOW

[@sabrinasmith4793]

Soul Eater is one of my favorite series ever, that'd be so awesome if they redid it! I need to see the part where they're genderbent animated!

[@mysterioustorua8048]

I remember back in 2015 at an AnimeNEXT panel I attended with Todd Haberkon, he said they were making a new season.. I just hope he wasn't referring to Soul Eater Not! because, personally, I didn't like it all that much asides from seeing the EAT team. They have openings and ending songs for Soul Eater Repeat Show made... Now give us the damn anime... ¯\_( o o )_/¯

[@SaffronRice]

Coming to this vid is a ritual now. Hopefully one day when I’m 78 years old they’ll finally make a manga-faithful adaptation. IF IM DEAD BY THEN SOMEONE BETTER DIG ME UP SO I CAN WATCH IT

[@BecauseImBored1]

They rebooting everything at this point so who knows

[@liv8288]

This is honestly so impressive. Soul Eater is one of my favorite mangas, and watching this really makes me wish we’d get to have a reboot of the anime. I can’t even imagine how much work went into making this, props dude it’s amazing.

[@BecauseImBored1]

Thank you! As you can tell by my icon I'm a bit of a soul eater fan girl lol

[@PuffedGill]

Sad we never got to see the manga animated in full. Thanks for this, it was so good. 😭

[@ellusiv5121]

I love Soul Eater. The designs are very iconic- Maka-Soul pair, Asura’s eyes, Death’s skull, the fuckin moon and sun?! It’s too good. And the warpy art style to convey madness is way too awesome.

This anime needs the Brotherhood Treatment. Since Fire Force is so popular. hopefully this will get stylized like them and have improved animations. Something like "Soul Eater Revive" sounds good.

[@apatheticdeity6030]

This is a masterpiece... truly beautiful. My favorite part was the amount of kinetic energy stopping the sword. It felt so good. 0:50

[@eronhipe9328]

Thank you very much for making this video. It really brings a lot of nostalgia to all Soul Eater fans. I honestly love both the anime & manga version of the story (Soul Eater is an underrated gem and 100% deserves an anime remake in the future)

[@BecauseImBored1]

One of my favs

[@GravyRave]

This is one of, if not THE best Soul Eater AMVs I have ever seen. Soul Eater is very dear to my heart, and I'm glad that people in the fandom are still making content to this day. Also, we NEED to give Soul Eater the reboot it deserves, since the manga is complete.

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

If only other people put the same level of effort you do when making MMVs like these, thank you so much

[@lovinyoujacksparrow2]

I've been a mmv editor for around 10 years now and you've always been one of my favorite amv editors. But seeing you post this absolute madness of a masterpiece??? God, if it wasn't so late I'd be yelling.... you absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! All that work, the number of animations, the flow, the use of anime masks to make everything smooth and dynamic, using Soul Eater (which isn't exactly editing-friendly) AND!!!! MAKING AN ACTION MMV????? ARGUABLY THE HARDEST TYPE OF MMV TO EDIT???? I'm just.... incoherently euphoric rn. I hope you submit this to cons as well and show people that mmvs are way more than just "a slideshow". Truly incredible job and thank you so much for the dose of inspiration lmao

[@BecauseImBored1]

lovinyoujacksparrow2 thank you so much!!! I’ve always had a soft spot for mmvs but haven’t made one in years and my last action one is lost lol so I’m really glad people are enjoying this.

Every time I find an expertly made, intensely edited, inspirational amv it's always followed by "BecauseImBored1" and then I always say: "BecauseImBored. Of course! Who else could it be?" "This looks like the work of someone who's 'Bored'", or "I knew it was BecauseImBored!". I'm definitely a fan and I REALLY admire what you've done in the past but especially with this.
