I think it's funny that NOT stands for Normally Overcome Target.
So basically it's the "usually gets defeated" class.

They're junior varsity.
You're also working with weapons really lacking self-confidence or only now discovering what they are (something that is never really explained in the first place...). Tsugumi only found out she was a weapon last week. Contrast Tsubaki who knew she was a weapon...maybe even from birth? Or Liz and Patty who had already embraced it when Kidd found them.
As for the Meisters...from her dialogue I'd guess Anya ran away from home, and Meme is clearly an idiot.
Given that Weapons discover what they are at varying ages and Meisters have a change of heart in their current lot in life, there's always got to be a beginner class. It's just they also combine it with the washout class. DWMA recognizes that it's probably better to give them a decent level of control before they get cut, otherwise you end up with a Liz and Patty situation or worse, working for a witch.
Lot's of discussion about this, but is this really worth the time?
Peace.
Well, we're only one episode in, so...I dunno?
Obviously it's getting more attention because of the series it's connected to.
I think he means the "drop-out class" discussion isn't worth the attention, not so much the series itself.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
It's worth exploring in my case just so I don't continue watching future episodes thinking that it's all based on some stupid idea.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The fact people of our calibre were discussing it makes it worth discussing. After all, in Soul Eater's world we would all be in the EAT class, so anything we discuss is of immense importance.
Or in other words, there's not yet that much else to talk about after a single episode.

Ep. 2
--------------------------------------------------
Gomu Gomu No Duuuuuuuh!
Deathbucks Coffee eh. Sounds...appetizing...
I wonder how they're going to eventually deal with the fact that they're two Maesters and only one Weapon.
Considering this is more slice of life and comedy than action, I'm not sure they ever need to deal with it. There might not be any longer or more serious campaigns in the NOT class requiring such a decision, even temporarily, let alone for good. I don't think they are lesbians, either, so I don't expect there to be pressure for Tsugumi to choose one to form such a couple like team as we had in the original Soul Eater (although Kid had a woman for both hands).
The whole two meisters, one weapon thing feels like a parody of the original show's two weapons, one meister teams anyway. We had a couple of those there.

Well sure, because people can wield two weapons. There aren't many weapons that can be wielded by two people. And a halberd isn't one of them.
Maybe if she was, like, a catapult or something.
You're both operating under the assumption that the prevailing wisdom is correct. That only one Meister and Weapon can ideally harmonize their souls. We already know that two weapons are easily used if the weapons are twins (Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder) as with Kilik, and Kidd and also works with the Thompson sisters.
But the Thompson Sisters alone are already a problem. PoF and PoT basically don't even have a personality, so we can assume they are identical in most aspects. But Patty and Liz are very different disposition wise. Liz is a scaredy-cat who is very serious, while Patty is a childish insane psychopath. Don't forget that Kidd only harmonizes with them because they appear as identical pistols.
So, it isn't hard to make the jump that a weapon can be used by two different Meisters if all of them are on the same wavelength. It's pretty obvious that despite their differences, the trio is already growing very close. They've even given one of them an out in terms of what to do when the other is using Tsugumi. Meme is an accomplished sleepy-master, and given what we've seen from Anya already, I imagine she is quite skilled with ladylike martial weapons (probably even has her own family martial art, as many rich ojou-sans of anime have).
Aside from that, I'm rather pleased we got to see something like dormitory life at DWMA (and it is equally overflowing with insanity). Maka and Soul (and Blair) always lived in their own apartment and we never saw anything else. BlackStar seemed homeless more often than not, and Kidd lived in the castle.
I'm also going to broach the topic since Kraco already hasn't (it was previously discussed in the channel).
Kim Diehl. The original anime never really went into any detail about Kim and Jackie (or Kilik for that matter). Soul Eater Not clearly assumes the viewers are aware of the information that was left out. Can we consider this information (of which I still have yet to detail) as an "Official Gotwoot Disclosure Non-Spoiler"?
I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing the physical mechanics of two people trying to wield a single melee weapon.
Does whatever you're referring to come up in Not eventually? If so, might as well just wait till then.
...at the same time.
Edited for clarity.
Peace.
That's part of the problem. It already has.
Important part is the second part. The girls can very likely toss Tsugumi back and forth between them as needed during a pitched battle. Meme has shown that she can handle herself without a weapon, and I suspect Anya can protect herself as well.
Hmm. I dunno then. I'll just let the people who know about it decide if it's a spoiler or not. I don't expect there's going to be another Soul Eater anime anytime soon, if ever. So I'll just try not to get bent out of shape about it.
Alright. I suppose that could lead to some hilarious Jackie Chan-esque fight scenes.
As do I, given that her itinerary as a princess included "Royal Karate".
Honestly, tossing around a single weapon instead of wielding one each is... yeah.
Peace.
There's a reason why we didn't see these guys during the campaign against Medusa, Arachnophobia, and Asura.
Tossing it back and forth is hardly ideal. Skill aside, you leave Tsumugi open for a steal. This latest episode didn't impress me at all. There are too many obvious "tropes" put in. (I try not to use that word, but I can't find any better expression right now). The keyword is obvious, however.
I'm watching this for the two guys. They're the only thing cool in this show right now.
Oh, and this is another show featuring the whole "pink highlights on every bit of rounded flesh" style again. >_>
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Probably because they die at the end of this series!
At the very least, this series takes place before episode 2 of Soul Eater because Sid is still alive. It's hard to tell how long before it it actually takes place yet.
Kilik, Black Star, Tsubaki, Maka, and Soul didn't really seem overly much younger. Probably not really too long before the main series started.
