So the representative of the Exorcists' Order is called Mephisto Pheles and is a dandy. >.<
Anyway, liked the episode. 4/5

Horror themes mesh with the action genre far too well.

Despite some familiar scenes (the whole battle in the church made we think of Naruto and FMA) I'm really getting into this. Satan's appearance was creepy to no end, and Rin's reaction to his "father's" death brought me to the verge of tears.

I am a little concerned as to where this is going with the intro of this exorcist school. I hope it doesn't deviate from the tone that's already been established. Pheles looks interesting though.

This episode was amazing T_T although I read the manga and knew what was gonna happen in the end, watching Shirou die made me very sad :(
Other than that, I'm loving Mephisto's voice!!! It suits him so much XD

Loved the episode! Also, Uverworld is awesome.

I want actual reasons as to why people think the ED is shit. It might be out of place for this episode, but so were a lot of Bleach's EDs (dark terrible deep shit ending... "HAPPY PEEEOPLE~")

This episode was pretty damn good. This series looks like it's going to be quite promising. I just pray it doesn't turn into some school Harem thing from what I saw in the preview for episode 3..

There is no way that could happen because this is shounen, there are ALWAYS a greater number of boy characters to girl characters. They're always stronger too.

I'm glad that the episode really fleshed out Rin's relationship with his father, I felt so sad for him when he flashbacked to the part where Reverend said that he wasn't a demon ;_;

I don't understand the part about his mother... why Satan mentioned about Father's body, and his mother's, not going to last long...


*coughs* Well, you do know that Satan fathered Rin, and well, that technically means that Rin's mom and him did 'that'. By 'that', I mean sex.

Now, since Reverend Fujimoto couldn't stand Satan's powers during possession, the same could happen during intercourse or if Satan used some sort of underworld-derived power to impregnate her. Or something.

I actually think Ao no Exorcist is better than usual generic shounen. For one, the animation-style is top-notch. One of the best this season, actually (Initially, I'd thought Deadman Wonderland would outshine it). The OP song was just pure, unadulterated SMEX. Loved the thing to bits... The ED though... :/ I'm not exactly sure what to think of it.

At first I thought there was no possible way for it to be better than the manga, but the director really knows his shit. I'm glad the other exorcists in the church were given some exposure too (unlike in the manga where they somehow mysteriously disappeared in the midst of the action).

Fucken Effen Epesode.

This just became my favourite anime of the season. Too bad I am not following [gg]. I am happy being a couple of days late. Both Katana-subs (saw episode 1 from them) and WoodBridge (episode 2) have brilliant translations. There is no point of ruining another series following [gg].

Even though they didn't follow the manga I think they did a good job. All they really did was add a few running scenes and some extra exorcisms. Frankly I think it did well to add some intensity to the episode and got me really interested in the method of fighting where you recite biblical lines.

Holy fucking shit at the beginning.. did Shiratori just punch that metal shed thing like it was cardboard? Did he really get hit by a fucking truck? LOL

Really action-y this episode was. After credits was pretty interesting too. That new guy Pheles reminds me of that other dude from the show C.

Did his brother just hold up a pistol??

Finally the ball gets rolling.

damn Okamoto Nobuhiko (Rin's seiyuu) can scream really hard that was shocking *awesome*
and Maphisto's laugh wahahahahaha I <3 him xD

My first time to get so emotional in a shounen anime, I mean in an anime I've never shed a tear for an anime (it's not real ya know)
but the way Rin cried when Fujimoto (his dad to-be) dead was just so....EPIC!! 5/5!!

The Opening/not bad
The Ending/awesome

Well judging by the commercials and the air date I am guessing this took Star Drivers time slot. XD Great episode but I don't really like the first two episodes, not because they are bad just because it has that anime take off feeling in the start until it gets really good. Story wise it is a great anime so far and I love the voice acting because Accelerator is one of my fav Characters <3. The music by UVERworld was great also. 4/5

Unless they speed up their releases for this show I'm sticking with Woodbridge.

That's probably not going to happen though since they steal from Crunchyroll. Eh, they're good for basically everything else I watch.

Indeed. The Brigadier General made me cry too.

I was so sad when he sat down and wept as he whispered 'dad'. Next episode is going to be characters introduction.

Great shounen anime come with a lot of deaths which make them amazing, not because of the characters dying there, but the way they accept/face death. /me points at Gintama/D.Gray-man/InuYasha/Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood/Gurren Lagann/Yu Yu Hakusho/Rurouni Kenshin. :')

I am sticking with them too. very good release of first couple of episodes. Worth the single day or two wait, unlike certain speedsubbing group.

I can't believe it ended there. His demonic form wasn't so bad and I loved the epilogue of him and the joker guy (forgot his name) who by the way looks like a demon himself. I kind of thought it would go into him privately training or just exorcising demons after this point, not go to an actual school. I didn't expect to see high school like drama--I hope there isn't. Anyway, what is his brother going to do now?

Quite liked this episode, plus point was the animation for me. I follow K-Pop but I thought the ED was pretty.. crap.

One thing that I hope someone can help me out with is.. does anyone know if the background piano-ish music that plays when Rin has those flashbacks (peaking when he drew the sword) is an actual piece of music by someone? It's been running through my head the whole day and I'd love to know if it's not just BGM. *crosses fingers*

Not a facepalm, but still a hope that this series is only 26 eps. I actually get more of a Soul Eater feel from all this than FMA. And all the powers and weird monsters jumping out of nowhere wasn't anything impressive yet.
