    I can confirm, and also that it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.

    I quit FireForce immediately after it was revealed that the author made a fanservice character after being dared to by the author of Fairy Tale.

    Fire Force, like Soul Eater, coasts hard off the charming character design but yeah I'm not a fan of Fire Force (the Soul Eater anime seemed fine?)

    Soul Eater anime had that one sick fight scene with Insane Maka vs Crona and that's about all I remember of it

    The soul eater anime runs out of material and it becomes abundantly apparent.

    Better than the manga which you would have also guessed ran out of material based on its ending.

    Every week, Ranking of Kings forces me to wonder if despite not being parody in any way whatever, it is indeed parody.
    Last week:
    "It is time to train you, the weakest child in the world, cursed with the curse of ultimate weakness. Okay, so, you know how all matter is made of molecules? That's it. Training complete. You can now obliterate all physical matter by touching it."

    This week:
    "This knight has single-handedly defeated my entire elite guard? Very well, now he must face me, the king of hell!"
    (Such power! I can tell in my mind's eye that he's going to use his overwhelming strength to attack really hard! He truly is the all powerful king of hell!)
    --king walks up and kicks him in the balls-

    I've been told the Soul Eater anime toned down a bunch of the fanservice from the manga.

    I too sat there for five minutes after reading that, my eyes widening as I remembered different parts of the Soul Eater anime.

    I went back and reread the end of Soul Eater and I'd completely forgotten that the last chapter is just all about boobs. For the dumbest reason in existence.

    Only four episodes into Demon Slayer: Entertainment District, and I really, REALLY hope this Hashira

    As much shit as I give Soul Eater, it is probably one of my favorite battle shonen series?

    Both anime and manga are really fun, as long as you can look past the stupid nonsense.

    I was silently wondering what people were talking about with Soul Eater... and then finally realized that I had memory holed the fanservice characters completely. Like, couldn't remember them as part of the story. Because... they're not! Excalibur is ultimately more meaningful to the progression of the story, it would just be better if they were not there.

    The best part of soul eater are the first OP and the filler episodes with Excalibur.

    Insane Maka vs Crona

    Maka literally uses Crona's face as a whetstone for her scythe! Also there's all kinds of distortion happening with her movements and the camera angles to convey the insanity they're both experiencing. There's nothing else quite like it in the series.

    Huh is fire force ending?

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    It's been in the final arc for a while, but it feels like it might for real wrap up soon.

    Oh hey, there's an OddTaxi movie being made called ODDTAXI: In the Woods. Looks like it'll pick up right where the series ended.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's a recap/compilation deal. It announced that it'll show what's after the cliffhanger the series ended on though, but that probably means like, 5 minutes at most of added stuff there.

    E:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WunaLWbs37A

    The description under the official promo. Specifically
    満を持しての映画化となる本作ではアニメシリーズの総ざらいに加え、最終回の”その後”も描かれる。

    Basically, "This project, a full movie, besides being a summary of the anime series will also animate an epilogue."

    I hate when anime do the recap episodes, even more so when it's a movie recap. But they must do it for a reason...

    Money. They want to milk every last cent from the superfans who will buy the series at ridiculous markup, the movie version, the VN, the manga, the spinoff manga, the light novel, the Weiß Schwarz CCG tie-in, spend money on the pachinko version, the life size hug pillow, specially embossed condoms, and the novelization.

    Eat your heart out Disney/Marvel/Harry Potter/Star Wars.

    It's obnoxious but I get it. But then things like Wonder Egg Priority happen and the ending is a massive disappointment, and they wasted the "wrap up movie" with 90 percent recap
