"May My Soul Reach You"
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THESE TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!
"The Seal Shrine"
So after Maka helps Crona out by befriending him, she and Soul leave Crona to deal with Ragnarok and go on ahead. Meanwhile, Death the Kid tries to get passed "Free" (The Man with the Magic Eye) while dealing with his symmetry problem. At the end, Free was actually casting a projection in order to keep Kid, and later Black Star, at bay, while he and Eruka Frog head to the Kishin so they can give it the black blood. And Eruka and Free can tell they are near when they start to see fucked up illusions.
The balance between the action and comedy was pretty well done in this one. The "joke" that was supposed to be told when you go dark (the one I was talking about when quoting Joss Whedon in an earlier blog post) that would've been used in the last episode is saved for the beginning of this episode, starting off this one on a lighter note, and leaving the last one with the desired mood without ruining it (that mood being FEEEEEEEEEELS). I'm also starting to realize how much I care about Eruka Frog and Free.

All around, good character moments for practically everybody. At one point, Medusa talks about how Crona is actually her child and talks about abandoning him when he's no longer of use. As you can imagine, this strikes a chord with Spirit (Death Scythe).
I'm deciding not to give away how exactly "May My Soul Reach You" works out, but it was fantastic and tear jerking. And the ending theme actually fits this time.
Honestly, "May My Soul Reach You" has become a favorite. It's gonna be pretty hard to top that.
