Just realized.

Soul Eater is undeniably superior to rwby in doing what the two shows try to do. When you think about it in the context of comparing it to rwby, I think that it's easier to see that you ranked it too low.

Only advantage RWBY has over soul eater is that the fights and the humor are better. Soul eater did everything RWBY did but better, and earlier.

i demand you revise your soul eater ranking then.

I revised both reviews - the soul eater review was too short, but I find it kind of hard to write a long review of it for some reason. I revised the rankings and I did think that I overranked RWBY and underranked soul eater, though a fair assessment puts them both at a factor score of 77. The factor scores are not perfect indicators of quality - they work kind of like IQ factor scores. It's the latent variable that really matters.

>"This actually… works?"

I don't see why this should be surprising. It lets monosex groups interact more naturally/casually.

I think I also had an idea for a cheap way to make people like a show more. Have a villain and a few primary underlings, and then if people happen to like one of the underlings better than the villain, have it be revealed that they were only pretending to be an underling and that they were the ones who were really pulling the strings behind the scenes all along.
