If DWMA was real, would you attend the academy? Would you be Meister or Weapon? Would you try to get into EAT class? What Weapon would you be/wield?

I would be a meister, I would like to wield either a Scythe or Sword, and would like to try to join EAT class.

I’ve been planning on reading the manga but I wanna know where I should pick up after the anime. Yes I know the anime isn’t full canon.

Some thoughts post ep 36 (where I've heard the show 100% becomes anime original) but mostly speaking on the Ending, which wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be (certainly questionable though) all in all I liked it (like I kind of get what they were going with) in regards to fear being awoken and beaten by bravery a foreign emotion to the at this point inhuman Kinshin (or maybe all too human) but man

Black Star, and Kid really just get stronger so quick (like they really rush it with how strong they get considering even Kid said he couldn't do anything when the Kishin was fighting Death)​ then the Bravery punch

(I think I would've been fine with it, if at least it was Maka and Soul together in some way, and Maka being a death Scythe sure fine, but she's already way more advanced than Soul has been up to this point in the series, it's just too much)

I like how the three were part of different missions and all meet up against the Kishin, and when Maka frees Soul from the Black Blood, her recognizing it wasn't Soul, and the animation is really cool, the 2000% from Death the kid and his hair stripes coming undone,

Black Star little shadow clone rushes, and everything inside Soul's body as Maka helps him, those are cool scenes but man the kid and black star stuff is questionable because where'd they pull that stuff out of)

I mixed on the ending (very mixed) but I'd say I like the series as a whole (not my fav, but it does have some unique power system that's really cool, kinda hoped we'd get to see it develop further after the genie hunter attack against mosquito, but that didn't happen, also wish we got more out of Black Star, him beating Hifumi was kinda cool, but felt a bit quick, Kid at least had his moments questioning DWMA, which was pretty quickly resolved)

Death moving the city (which was foreshadowed way earlier) was absolutely great (death vs the kinshin was cool on paper, and definitely had it's moments, felt like it didn't do enough)

Favorite character is Tough but I'd prolly go Crona (again, just wish more was done with them, feels like their future appearances are rare, sucks because I liked the moments with them)

So yeah (gonna start the manga, debating starting from the beginning or from where episode 36 shifted)
