The Blue Fox Alley

This week, the animators decided to go ahead with a little episode of plotless humour. Some say that this episode is much better than that of the manga even.

Summary

The day starts off with Maka and Soul finally achieving 99 evil human souls and 1 soul of a witch, with a personal graduation type of ceremony held for them. The crowds cheered as Soul was about to become Shinigami’s weapon… not.

This whole event was actually only a dream. The worst has yet to come as Dr. Stein announces a test, called the Ultra Exam. Discussion between Soul and Black star reveals that the one who scores top in class is destined to make his/her weapon into a death scythe. Whilst the rest acted like retards, Maka and Tsubaki were the only serious ones. Maka wishes to score first just like her mother. But in order to do so, she will have to beat Ox. Ox… isn’t that a wierd name? Guess what his last name is: Ford. OxFord. WTF!!

Everyone returns home and studies, but we all know there’s no such thing as last minute studying. Hence for those who aren’t so academically gifted, they tend to look for different ways to pass the damn exam. I’m talking about Soul and Black Star here. Black Star tries to steal the answer sheet and gets caught by Stein. I kind of feel sad for Tsubaki as she had put in effort to help him learn. During the exam, he gets thrashed and got hung at the black board, bleeding.

Anyway, before the exam, Kid and Liz and Patty were studying somewhat. Liz is constant doing makeup whilst Patty slept drooling. Kid, paranoid as usual makes a blue print of Liz’s face and intends to pluck her eyebrows symetrically. Also, not to forget Maka’s father, who is constantly trying to give her the aura to do well in her test. Blair on the other hand was a lonely kitty deprived of attention.

Soul who started studying late and had pussy… uh, i mean… cat distractions decides to hide all the answers in his clothes. Whilst he may seem successful at first, he was caught and stripped off his clothes. Being forced to do the test whilst nude and having only retards around him i.ePatty made a giraffe out of her test papers, behaving like she was mentally ill and Death the Kid had problem making his name symetrical, Soul obviously wasn’t very successful. Even the signal from Black Star who actually saw the test scripts was nothing but a spoof as he signed an autograph with blood. Poor Soul. Kid didn’t fail to add additional distraction by accidentally tearing his paper with an eraser, then puking blood and fainting right after.

Meanwhile, Liz tries to pluck off the hair from Ox Ford and whilst Maka double checks her test. The exam ends. Turns out Maka got first and Ox got second. She then walks away with a little bit too much calmness. Anyway, her dad then celebrates with a drink with Blair. I love that attire she was wearing. Kekeke. Anyway, the shy father gives the money to Blaire so that she could buy a book as a present for Maka. Maka gets underwear instead. Ask Blair why.

My thoughts

This episode was pretty hilarious. However, I thought the excalibur episode was better. There is also a new ED and it was pretty good. My favourite character is now Death the Kid. Anyway, as for test, I used to score 2nd and I was pretty unhappy. When i managed to get 1st, I boasted to Sojourner but then again, it wasn’t a really big deal after a while. Guess I understand why Maka wasn’t that euphoric. As for Blair, I was pretty happy at the attire near the end. Such eye candies can never cease to make me happy. Lets have Blair every episode. Lastly, it seems like Maka and Blair are pretty close in terms of friendship. Wait till she finds out her pet actually flirts with her father.

Next episode

Next week features action from Kid… finally… as well as Chrona! Time the spotlights turned. I bet it’ll be a good one next week.
