| Poor Rin. Almost everyone is scared of him. |
| One hell of a kickass episode! That fanservice is unexpected and hilarious. Never expected blue flames can do that. Blue flames are so perverted. And Shura's ass! XD Love the cute moment between Rin and Izumo. Izumo blushing is so adorable. |

| lol amaimon got K.O ed before OP |
| the fight could have lasted a bit longer. I feel sorry that Amaimon was killed by Rin. And Rin's preparation for the exorcist exam began. I enjoyed the fanservice. |
| If everyone hates him why did they even bother getting his sword fixed? What a stupid development. |

Kurogashi said: What chapter is it where the anime starts diverging from? After knowing there's an anime alternative route, I keep saying to myself 'this is fake', while watching the episode, which is starting to bother me. Because the manga takes place in reality, right? :P Rather than tell yourself it's a "fake" story working in opposition to the "true" story, why not think of it as two different tellings of the one story? Neither version of events actually took place so there's no truth or falseness to either one, being entirely works of fiction. You can't even really say this was the mangaka's "real" vision of the story, because we aren't around in the boardroom where these decisions are made. The creator could have decided he didn't feel like re-telling everything from page 1, or wished he'd done some things differently. Who are we fans to tell him to replicate the exact same ground he's just covered? |
| ok in this episode amaimon vs rin: rin was a bit "cooler" but that was a lame as hell fight... yukio being a potential demon: interested me, wtf was that thing on his armpit training: i hope it doesnt drag on like naruto training which usually takes AGES shadow demon thingy: seems like a new arc.. i hope its nice considering its 17/25 episodes and i have no idea if theres a second season |
 |
| AMAIMOOOOOON D: you were awesome while it lasted T_T im sorry but his death was way too lame, a stab from rin's sword? REALLY? AFTER THAT EPIC BATTLE IN THE FOREST AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS D:? *continues to rant* whew annnnnnnnnyways it looks like we're entering the last arc of whats presumably the first season (hopefully) wonder if they're gonna continue this like nuramago or something i wonder if konekomaru or yukio is gonna get possessed or something izumo being nice is very understandable and that was a nice rin x izumo moment at the end, looks like bon and shima doesnt really completely hate rin and konekomaru's just plain scared >_>; |
| Another season, pleaseeeeee *.* I'm really liking this, I mean, I thought they'll do something crappy when I saw the changes, but now I think I like this better than the manga version. yes, I also think Shiemi is much more cool supporting Rin, I'm liking her again (lol) Next week's seems promising ;b |
MALoween✟Mansion! 2021: main candy:      extra candy: 4x  |
| OK, now that I've finally seen the subs! Time for my review of the episode ... apologize for the triple post but it's that or one huge one on the first page. The opening courtroom scene was pretty epic! Even though it was brutally short, that really hammered home just how OP Rin really is. The strongest soldier in the Vatican's army got crushed like he was nothing, yet Rin didn't even break a sweat slaughtering his aniki. I guess the girl with the unreadable accent reforging his blade made it (and him by proxy) even stronger. Bon's turnaround in personality was a bit odd, but not entirely OOC. He's always been pretty outwardly harsh with Rin, and while his actions show that he still cares about him whether he'll admit it or not, he's still going to be the first to step up and bust Okamura's balls when he thinks he needs it. He's also always been competitive with Rin, so suddenly finding out that he has a huge reservoir of fighting ability from being the Son of Satan is going to make him even more aggressive and eager to prove his worth. It does look like this rivalry turns violent next episode from the preview ... but hopefully that'll resolve Bon's two drives (to help his friend and to kill Satan). He's just best hope Rin doesn't lose control, since if Rin can do that to the Earth King ... Commercials: Honey lemon Fanta sounds gross ... and lolis playing card games with pedos on the beach. Sure, why not. Axe commercials in Japan are ... kinda awesome! :D Much better without the gratuitous 'Balls!' puns their American adverts have. WTF was with that little yellow bird tho? Selling face cream or something? Sometimes I wish they'd fansub the ads but then it'd take even longer. Hnnng ... GOD Shura's got a hot pantied ass :D Bit of Yukio fanservice for the ladies too. It is a bit random that Rin's flames would decide to burn off their clothes of all things, LOL. I concur that Shura was even hotter as a teenager, whooping Bibi-megane's ass at the batting cage. That purple shit in his armpit doesn't bode well ... it almost looks like he's got the Black Plague! 5/5 |
| Hmm. Thought the fight would be.....Longer... Nice ep, although it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any more Amaimon. ;3; |
| anyone know who the VA is for Angels Sword? she sounds familiar... |
 |
| Dat outfit. Dem boobs. Dem legs. Dat ass. Dem pantsu. And that's about it in this episode I guess. |

| WTF Amaimon is dead !! ToT I wish he could stay a bit longer !! |

Shitty writing is shitty. indeed also, Rin killed Amaimon waay too easily. that annoys me My other complaint this episode. Otherwise, it was a decent episode, I was just disappointed in those 2 examples. Hopefully this show continues to be quality without more slip ups. |
  |
| Damn I also feel kinda sorry for Rin now. Hopefully he will be able to believe in his powers and control them so he can really help. Let's begin by saving Konekomaru from that bird-like demon. Hopefully they'll trust him more after that. |
 |
| Like others said already, it was decent episode. Different from manga =/= bad. Fight vs. Amaimon wasn't good in my opinion though (Angel and Shura seemed so weak and Rin beat him easily) |
| Did Rin really kill Amaimon? If so, that really bugs me. Cuz that never happened in the manga... I don't mind when they add stuff as long as it doesn't affect the overall plot! Anyway...I knew this would probably happen though, where the anime starts to go in a different direction than the manga (kinda like the first Fullmetal alchemist...then they weren't able to get back on track with the manga because of the changes)... But it was a good episode. |
| Awesome, Amaimon got kil- wait what? I guess... that's fine, I don't ever recall seeing him again anyways. Anyways, I just wanna punch that baldy in the face. |
| I CAN'T EVEN PUT MY FEELINGS FOR THIS EPISODE INTO WORDS. SO MUCH HAPPENED IN THIS EPISODE. I JUST CAN'T. |
| With the whole Bon not trusting Rin thing,my guess is that when it seemed like Rin was about to burn Shiemi,Bon freaked out and lost sight of what he was doing for Rin.Anyways,Rin vs Amaimon Round 3 was a major fail.Hopefully if Rin has to fight anymore of his demon brothers,it won't be an easy victory. |
| Kyaaa! Yukio in his underwear! x3 XD He seems like he has some infection on his arm. :( |
 banana |
| DAFUQ was the crow-like thingy? And Shura is sexxxxxxxy *///A///* |
 |
| The anime is really quite good. I don't understand people getting into hissy-fits because it doesnt follow the manga as close as they want it to. It's amazing for what it is, and imo you really have to be closed minded to enjoy the manga but not the anime. |
| Hooray boobies! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| So far so good at this point. So now the demons attack again, this time heading for Rin and Konekomaru. What hapepns next time? |
     |
| so she was stacked even as a kid..... so this is where it diverges from the manga? |
| All the stuff before the intro was awesome! I love how everyone teamed up to get the sword to Rin :) After, it was kind of boring but I wonder what happened to the little dude with glasses xD The underwear part was hilarious ahahah and I'm worried for Yukio D: |
| really great episode it's developing alot faster but then again still keeping it's usual pace |
 |
| the fight was stupid. izumo was cool. |
| I wish i could make pesty demons insects go away like Rin does with his flames. And i wouldn't have expected for Shura to wear such panties. It does not really fit with what she behaves like i'd say, her being all cool and laid back. And while her normal outfit is quite revealing, she still was quick to cover her breasts there. Neither of them was embarassed though, only really suprised, probably because of the shock of being "burned". Good to see that they keep that up, in most other anime the girls scream pervert whenever they can, even if it's their fault, like running into the mens bathroom etc. |

LightningRamiel said: So it's like it follows the manga and then it doesn't and then it kinda does... makes me wonder if they'll do a more faithful adaptation a la FMA Brotherhood in the future. Either way, it was kinda anticlimactic how quickly Amaimon got offed. As I said last week, the whole cuckoo clock scene in the manga seemed like it was there to keep him around for later, but I guess the anime didn't feel like doing that. And now Konekomaru's going rogue? EDIT: I know I kinda sound like a manga purist, but it's really just the fact that it's somewhat jarring seeing the series diverge, especially when the first half played it really straight. I'll hold full judgment for after the series end, as I think we all should. I agree. It would be one thing if they completely moved away from the manga but for them to keep jumping back and forth it simply makes no sense for people actually watching the show. One second everyone wants to help Rin get his sword fixed even though they know he's satan's kid and the next they want nothing to do with him....wtf? Yukio has demon crap on his arm too...it feels like they're rushing what the mangaka plans to do in the faaaarrrr off future. I can only hope they stop making inconsistency's like this....but then again they clearly don't have enough episodes to cover the next arc so I wouldn't be surprised if they go all original now which, in my opinion, would be better. |

| here is my thoughts on everyone complaining about it being different from the manga thats all you guys are doing, is it really a bad thing that all the charecters dont break charecter to hate rin, even though bon and bald kid are upset they arent all out hate on him like the manga does |

| The only thing I hate about this series are the constant cliff hangers. Everytime an episode ends, I want to kill myself. 1 week is too long. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRRR DAMNIT! >______< BLAH! Anyways... |

| look it was alright but i hate it how they are changing shit everywhere... and longshoremanX its not just about the character it seems like they are changing everything slowly which is gay.. longshoremanX said: here is my thoughts on everyone complaining about it being different from the manga thats all you guys are doing, is it really a bad thing that all the charecters dont break charecter to hate rin, even though bon and bald kid are upset they arent all out hate on him like the manga does |
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breath. |
| Ha, I love that they included the whole Shura vs Yukio scene. Very cool. And what the hell is happening to Yukio? (those black spots on his shoulder?) I'm having a really awful feeling that he'll be one of the villains later on. Shura had already hinted that "guys like him are the first to fall to demons." Gaaah~ I hope not. I guess I'm one of the few who's glad that they decided to skip the whole Kyoto arc. And the part in the manga where all his friends turned against Rin. Really, that was annoying (it made me hate Konekomaru and Shiemi even more). |

FMAB was action paced while FMA was completely character driven. Both used different methods to create 2 great shows. I'm really late (page wise) but: http://myanimelist.net/anime/121/Fullmetal_Alchemist http://myanimelist.net/anime/5114/Fullmetal_Alchemist:_Brotherhood This is one example. And you can't even fairly attribute that success to its adherence to the manga. I'm with you on the inconsistencies. I'm not with you on everything else you're saying. Basically, "It's a bad thing the anime is steering off the manga" because "the anime is steering off the manga." (Because Yukio never became a demon in the manga, which we don't know will happen yet, they can't do it in the anime.) It is an adaptation. However, I agree that there are still some things they need to iron out. There are a couple flaws, inconsistencies... but as has been said, it is a different medium, and if an anime is masterfully crafted despite strong deviation from its manga counterpart, (note: masterfully) I think it should be praised too. The manga should not be put on a pedestal. It's up for interpretation as well. |
| If you lived in your computer, you'd be home already. |
| Apart from the director not being to make up his mind whether Bon and co. should be for or against Rin, this episode was pretty alright I guess. There wasn't really anything in the manga interesting or relevant enough with 7 episodes left (and I hate the Bon's hometown arc to the core), so a filler ending is expected. It probably might not stray too far away from the manga, since with a bit of creativity the extra events can be rewritten into manga continuity. (Unless there's something up with Yukio..) If Ao no Exorcist continues to be good, I don't see why they wouldn't make a follow up season a year later or something. |

| If Amimon is dead, then this is an ultra anti-climactic cliche... Many shounen's allow the youngster character to finish off an established opponent, without even providing enough evidence they're fit to face off against eachother, in order to gain some status within the series and trick the audience into seeing character development - who has come into a series simply to die is often obvious. I like Izumo's brutal honesty; being blunt is nessessary at times - I'd rather someone was direct then stuttering and isolating me. Rin failed by hitting the wall however; what bad luck on him. The group have every right to be wary of Rin to be frank, quite realistic; whether or not he's an innocent, a threat is a threat. It's amazing how little this group actually knew about eachother... Considering Bon has declaired previously that he wants to defeat Satan and him and his group are monks(?), you would think Rin for example would be interested in their similar backgrounds, yet he seems to busy fanboying over Shiemi? In such a small group of magic people, you'd assume everyone had an interesting backstory - the group could do with a team building exercise. This author better make Yukio importiant... You can't bring in a twin to the 'be-all-and-end-all' main and allow the audience to simply accept he's not powerful and will therefore, never be a hero (atleats make him a villian, or increase his status from token 'brainbox'). |

The manga should not be put on a pedestal. It's up for interpretation as well. Pretty much. Boomedan, you're doing exactly what is considered the crime right now, giving the anime a low rating SOLELY because its doing things different than the manga, and thats not a good way to judge an anime. What's wrong with the anime letting us know about Yukio's relation to satan? Its not like its something thats just out the ass, if Yukio is Rin's brother by blood, TWIN brother, who did you think was the father? And using the different scores of FMA and FMBA is not a accurate way of comparing, because MAL is loaded with people who thinks FMAB was better only because it followed the manga precisely, so their votes where very BIAS. And even then, the scores are very well distanced from each other, its not like FMAB is shitting on the original's score. |
