I, for one, am glad the anime is not exactly following the manga. If anyone remembers how Soul Eater completely went in the wrong direction of the manga (and will do so on Adult Swim sometime this year), I had mixed feelings. I was glad they left with a cliffhanger, and made it less confusing. I'm certain I'm not the only one who had stop reading the chapter when Rukia faded away because they were tearing up. For those of us who have read the manga, I think a few of us will be a little more thankful.
