That was a good episode. Rin wants to become a Paladin but he has to learn a lot yet. Shura swept the floor up with Rin, and Rin looses his sword too easily. So Shura became a teacher at the exorcist school and she is only 18?

The new OP and ED is not much to my liking they're gonna have to grow on me, but the animations are a nicer new touch. Felt like they could have done something else though with the OP. They went with the same theme except the ending, it was bizzare but it was something new.

Rin just gets beat up more and more every episode, he can't seem to get a break he got the living pulp out of him beaten twice in a row. Well at least he can heal well haha! Shura is a bit thick-headed and stuck on her ideals i think she can turn out to be a redeeming character and a fan favorite.

And Shiro never ceases to amaze me he just gets more and more amazing.

With the OP/ED discussion, yes - I like them a lot acutely! I think they, at least the new opening, fits the Anime a bit better really. And, the ending is just a little better than the first one. They're both really good, but I like some of 2PM's songs a lot more then "Take Off". Like - "Heartbeat" (Korean ver.) for example. But, that dosen't mean "Take Off" isn't bad, it's probably a GOOD song in fact. However, I think "Wired Life"s animation was better in the sense that the whole cast got into it and the animation was...different and eye-catching.

Now, the episode. Nothing much happened, really. But, what happened is going to affect the future of the storyline. With Rin's newest drive to become a Paladin as well as still defeating Satan, it will cause things to be set into motion. Which, I can't wait! And, next week's episode is going to be a major turning point I bet you. And, I remember the chapter in the Manga being very emotional (or is it the next one???). So, looking forward to next week's episode! Woohoo~

p.s: Paladin's are masters of every exorcist field, so, technically, they are all of them: Dragoon, Aria, Tamer, Knight, and Pharmacologist (a.k.a doctor/medicine). So, Shiro is able to recite holy verses and then pull out a shotgun all he wants. He's trained in every field. Just needed to clear that up.

I never listen to the ending songs but I like the new one. If you watch it to the end it's funny how you see Mephisto pointing at the statue. Can't wait for the next two episodes. I read a few chapters past this part in the manga and I'm SO excited :D

I actually think that the OP and ED is good, but isnt like stuck in my head. like when i frist heard the first OP and begging part was like stuck in my head the whole day and the whole song was jst catchy. The first ED song was alright but the grapics and stuff was gay.. the New ED is way better.

The OP is great, I love it as much as the first OP. I thought this episode was awesome, the ending was funny when Rin was failing at reading. Next episode looks great too.

The new ED is slightly better than the previous imo.

I'll be honest - the whole cutezie 'fun with the moniors in hogwarts' was begining to bore me, as I was hoping for an insight into the way Shiro raised Yukio and Rin early, yet this ep' has really raised the series standard...
Not only was Shiro a great dad, but mentor and I love his quirky methods of difusing conflict.
Also, a lot of ground was covered; a mentor for Rin has arrived.
Best ep' to date.

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.

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.
