didn't like this ep at all. Rin got beat up yet AGAIN and for no reason, he had to declare the thing he had already decided and told few people -.-
and all that drama about Shura not understanding Shirou. but i think its a great, although cliched idea about taking Rin's sword and giving it back when he can beat her.
Loved the flashback part, damn the kid was strong even then XD
and i love the new op/ed. especially ed, the music is amazing. i will be downing the ost when this series ends.

I didn't really care for the new OP, or ED for that matter. Neither song was bad and the animation of the new OP was pretty good but still like the old ones more. Hard to put into words but the new OP is too serious, I think. It's probably appropriate in it marking a turning point but still. The old ED did a better job of closing things down. Actually watched both most weeks, don't see that happening with the new ones.

Felt bad for Rin. Getting the crap beat out of him by a high level demon then a high level exorcist in the same day. Pretty rough. Guess you have to expect a pretty steep climb when you're the son of Satan, though. Didn't really care for Shura. Who fights in floss? Boing, boing, boing... ridiculous. Seeing more of Shirou was great. Overall thought the episode was good. 4/5

Really like the new ED and the new OP is okay.

So redhaired chick is interesting, although her boobs look weird (not drawn properly, but what's new?). She definitely looks older than 18, too. Of course she would be an ally and then end up teaching as well. I didn't expect her to hang onto the sword, though, since Rin's dad told him to never give it to anyone else and I figured that included her. She could have forbidden him to use it but I guess I understand it was too dangerous for him to keep it because people would always take advantage of that (plus Rin sucks at protecting it).

Haha, Shiro is pretty cool. Wish he hadn't died so early because now we only get flashbacks of him. :[

Let's hope we continue to get plot-related episodes and not more random beach crap.

This was a pretty badly written episode. The fight between Shura and Rin took way longer than it needed to, yet the content they were discussing during said fight -- about Shiro/Shura's relationship and Rin's powers -- seemed glossed over and rushed. Very generic shounen plot when the main character gets too strong for his own good, except it wasn't executed very well.

Shura is just going to be annoying to deal with. Maybe if her entire past weren't condensed into 3 minutes of screentime, she'd be more appealing to me. Plus, her clothes just bug me. From a logical standpoint, that top cannot be supporting her! Her boobs must hurt like hell.

Still feel like the only character with some depth in this show is Shiro. But at least there aren't mindless fights every 3 seconds, so kudos to that.

As I said Shiro is one of my favourite characters in this series, you can't help but feel that way lol. As for Shura, I like her, she added more spice to the series and come on, she wasn't set on teaching him but on contrary, she decided to kill him if he had anything to do with Shiro's death 'cause she is a fickle person and her mood is quite hard to figure, it has a lot to do with her past. She looked to Shiro as a Father figure in her life so to lose him after all the trouble that he went through to grow her up.
And one other thing, that's quite a change to have a female teacher for the main character. I mean I can't recall how long has it been since I've seen a female training our main shounen character. The only other anime that I recall was Tenjho Tenge.

If this Shura person wouldn't keep forgetting to put some shirt on, I could be even able to like her...

Is it just me or does dynamics between Rin and Shura start to resemble those of Ichigo and Yoruichi from Bleach? Just a feeling... The whole show is getting more and more like a typical not-overly-ambitious shonen series. It's a pity since I thought it would be more like D.Gray-Man. But oh well, an anime series doesn't have to be deep to enjoy it *shrugs*

I liked the new OP then again I been a fan of ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D since they did the OP for Durarara!! And the ED theme was good but not as good as Take Off.

The whole ep was good it showed some more back story of Rin so it was good IMO.

The first 16 minutes were lame as Hell, and just when I thought the series had turned into a shitty battle/shonen anime, the last 5 minutes really set up the mood for some big improvements in the following episodes.

New OP is ... all right. Same with ED. Too much Engrish IMO ;S
Shiro is clearly awesome. Shura is all right. We finally get the whole training thing going on ... all right. This episode wasn't that great IMO ;P
More back story on Rin. Shura's teaching now ... uh, OK lol o_O Mephisto is clearly not trusted by anyone. Although he and his brother are awesome lol XD

Shirou is amazing and i do hope we get to see more of him. I miss the first opening but really like the 2nd ending. I like how straightforward Rin's character is him saying something like 'i'm not one to be able to solve things by thinking so i should just throw myself forward'(not exact quote). Also does anyone else think that Kuro (the cat) is adorable. I wish i had him as my familiar, that is if i had one.

I was excited, when the show finally added another female character to the group, hoping she would add something different to the show, but when she started speaking, it turned irritating after few minutes of screen time, especially her body design... Yes I like boobs like any other "sane person", but its annoying with the bouncing, but what especially annoying was her dialogue and tone. The only saving grace was her mysterious back story as a child (which was short) and a necessary driving force for Rin character development.

I'm liking all the diverse points for Rin development, not just his physical abilities, but his personality, which is positivity influence by his father and Shiemi so far.

Like the new OP and ED but the old versions were better.

Shiro w/out doubt the best character in this series, unfortunately he died early. Why does great main characters always died early?

The new OP is painfully generic, but somehow I can get past it. I just sounds like every other... Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Change of Pace, etc. song. I can't like it, but I can get past it.

Something is keeping me from liking this show. Maybe the somewhat bland/generic characters.

Sadly, we will not see any of that. Rin will do five minutes worth of training at most, none of which will even remotely revolve around swords. That "training" will also make him one of the strongest characters in the entire series.
Shirou's flashback was very good, however. It somewhat saved the episode.
I liked the first opening better. Can't say a thing about the ending, for I usually skip it.
4/5, but only because of Shirou's appearance.

Great and interesting development in this episode, the new character really turns up the progress in story development and what in an amazing way. I wonder what influence she'll have in the end of the story!

Either way great episode and with a new OP and ED a bit more fitting than the first op and ed.

About OP2, quickly saying that I am very worried about Shiemi in the spoiler
as to her being sad.
Somewthing may happen and I am a big fan of her character so I am worried about it.

>Implying that OPs are relevant.


Anyways, the OP is nice, maybe even good, and so is the ED as well.

Also, the episode was nice continuation of the previous one(I actually didn't expect it). Shirou was indeed a kick-ass paladin. And Rin is a cool MC(and it's not like I always like the MCs).

Wooden sword is a great idea, finally someone thought of giving Rin some weapon other than the Demon sword, ffs, was it that hard?


So actually the exorcists know of Mephisto's demon origin, I can't believe. But I love his character, because he does what he does for shits and giggles(in my opinion) :D :D

Yay for new opening, I didn't think I'd like it at first but then it actually got a lot better. I'm liking it <3

aaaaaand more boob bouncing soon into the episode.

It also looks like Shirou thought EVERYTHING through bit by bit by the episodes, he's a LOT smarter than I thought he was. He was also a cool-ass Dad.

Not sure on the new ending..

Good episode. Seeing Amaimon fight was cool, his behaviour was less, rather annoying actually.
That bitch was fucking annoying too, I guess she'll be the most hated female character for me in this series. Fucking hell I forgot how annoying she was.
She's hot though, oppai šŸ˜
She looks better in the manga.
Else the new ED and OP are very nice.
