...No, I actually respected Medusa for being able to use her enemy's force for her own benefit. That was what made her a gud antagonist, not needing a huge army to be an actual threat...after all Medusa was just using the Shibusen to attain a new body, she was ready to stab them in the back anytime. Also, the fact Shinigami -even tho Asura's revival was Medusa's fault- decided to take down Arachne whatever the cost is what brings moral questions on the Shibusen. I don't see any of that in the anime (besides, I loved the battle of Black Star vs Mifune way more, it was the milestone in Black Star's development, very very touching; not to mention Kid's abduction was very thrilling).I think they're very different things. It would be nice if they did the same thing they did with Full metal and made an alternate version where it follows the plot to a T but Soul Eater still remains an amazing anime. The art is drastically different but it's each to their own. I actually read the manga and I SO prefer Maka & Chrona VS Medusa & Stein and everyone VS Kishin Asura than they did it in the manga. Medusa/Maka VS Arachne..... eh. I honestly can say I prefer the anime version of the story.
Also, Asura was suppose to not be able to trust anyone unless they were under his complete control, so I found real dumb the scene in which he was with Arachne. The fodders wouldn't be able to stand Asura without getting insane, and hence falling under his control. Also, it's nice to see Maka defeating her opponents with more than a punch (that was fuking silly).
