Thoughts on Crona in the anime vs the manga?

OH MAN i can have an excuse to ramble and yap about Crona

For starters manga Crona is sad and just depressing especially how the story ended, being trapped on the moon with the embodiment of fear itself and then ending with a boob joke was definitely a choice.

Besides that, the manga holds a different purpose for Crona cuz the manga values more horror and darker elements. And the manga paneling and art are so good, the horror and distortion with the character design of Crona are so cool.

As for the anime has become known for its quirky, Halloween vibes mostly kooky and spooky (exception with the Kinshen). Its overall a happier ending Crona gets to learn to be a better person and face their fear of being a coward and betraying Maka and their new friends

Meanwhile, the manga provides an alternate perspective of Crona's ordeal. Much of the abuse is plainer to see therefore it's more vivid and uncomfortable. But in the end with all the abuse they endured during their lifetime, there is no point, they are never able to become a better person or face their fear of betraying everyone because Crona just locks themselves to the moon (practically dead)

I know this is a trope of bad characters making the ultimate sacrifice of killing themself as a character redemption but that shit never works at all, idk why it happens in media (I'm looking at you shadow Weaver in shera)

That said again I don't hate manga Crona i just think the author has a missed opportunity. In a perfect world I would love to see the combination of anime and manga versions. If anything I would love a scene of Crona mirroring Nimona's breaking point:

Teen suicide especially in queer community is a touchy topic which im not smart enough to explain but Nimona and Crona are like two sides of the same coin. Other just have more respect and love for the characters and the other wants to make a boob joke. Because of this anime just ages better compared to the manga, the hopeful message, and Crona's recovery having ups and downs make it better. (also Maka and Crona killing Medusa together is PEAK, fuck your abuser)

#rambling #crona soul eater #again maka being angry over medusa is my favorite thing ever both manga/anime version #soul eater anime vs manga #manga spoilers and many other media #should i add tw for teen suicide?

The Soul Eater manga has an awful start with the fan services, inconsistent art style, and a meh moon arc overall but the characters are the best part of the manga.. okay well not all I didn't care much about Noah and his lackeys but the book Eibon arc was fun so I don't hate it that much

also, the art did get better over time and the extra art plashes are cool to see (I wish they somehow added that Gorillaz/early 2000s art vibe in the show.)
