Yukio's not going to die. The creator's inspiration for this series were the Grimm Brothers (was the Brothers Grimm). Although Yukio is a supporting role, I'm confident that they're not going to kill him off because that would change the premise of the series too much.
I could write more, but I guess this isn't the area for speculation.
I liked the episode. I'm attached to the characters enough that I don't mind a filler episode once in a while.
The part where they send the cake to Mephisto made me laugh, as did the awkward exchange between Izumo and Shima,Paku (I really do think she just had something in her eye... not that they were going to kiss.)
I'd always wondered how the whole "son of an exorcist is the biological son of Satan" ordeal worked out, and hopefully this series will explore that a bit more (the adoptive parents... how he hid it for so long... etcetera).
I'm hoping they get a second season, although I wish they wouldn't have released it so prematurely. The manga won't be done for a while, will it? I like that it's going off in its own direction... that doesn't bother me. Although it would shut the people up who are complaining that this is a "filler arc" and that they couldn't end it in a different way. So yeah... I'd just like to see the majority of people happy, and I hope they're able to cover a broad section of the manga content in an upcoming season (because they're clearly going in a different direction now.)
If you lived in your computer, you'd be home already.

I didn't mind this filler at all really. I could NOT stand the squid/beach filler! But I really think these last 6 episodes are gonna pick up and finish this anime with a bang. Or at least finish this season. There's probably going to be a second one :)

Why would they have a random filler episode so late in the series...? Considering there are only 6 episodes left, shouldn't they be worried about getting through the story? I guess the title, "A Day When Nothing Happens" suited the episode well.

Don't get me wrong though, I enjoyed the episode. It just seems like it'd be better as an earlier episode.

Ah, despite the fact that this was a filler it's probably my favorite episode from the series.

And considering how other anime like this go, it'll probably be filler until the last one or two episodes where it leaves us with some huge cliffhanger. But then again, it's already deviated from the manga to the point where it'd be awkward to try and get back on track with the most recent chapters.

I actually thought the episode was pretty amusing and was a good 'calm before the storm.' With only 5 or 6 episodes left this is probably the last chance the crew will have to sit down together and be kids before the shit hits the proverbial fan ... which it no doubt did in the cliffhanger. The monastary's been attacked, o noes!

Best part of the episode was Mephisto's reaction to the cake. "A cake celebrating the birth of God ... for a demon?" *takes a bite* "FANTASTIC!!!(in rainbow!)"

This seemed like a mellow weekend for both this and Sacred 7 ... hopefully there'll be more action in both next week. At least Blade delivered the fighting, as always.

It was more or less a filler, but it was still nice, and it still had character development. Konekomaru still being a bit afraid or weird near Rin, but less so later. They have less problems working together now, Bon is the leader. Rin does not rely on his blue flames for everything (he can make cake without..), we saw a bit of Yukoi with his experiments..

It could have been more for sure, but it was not a filler in the way of having nothing to do with rest of the anime, they will certainly remember that party, and maybe it will even be important, like Konekomaru remembering that Rin thanked him (if they do a scence like when he had to trust Rin and jump again).

Often such small details play a important role later, when people who skipped the supposed filler complain that theres no way they would never trust each other or whatever because they where not really friends or something, when they actually had a week long party in the filler.

I don't think it's going to be that extreme here, but i often wonder why every episode that does not at least contain one major plot twist is automatically a filler. Especially if they already deviated from the manga.

Yeah i don't mind the filler with this show, i take it over the current Naruto filler any day! I think they need more of Blackie hanging with Rin moments since he is such a cool familiar. My fave eps would have to be the Blackie eps by far (broke my heart when he broke down in tears).

Shima X Paku was epic.

However, not to be outdone, Mephisto's "Fantastic!" was FABULOUS~

Shima x Paku 4EVER!!!!!!! Lol when Mephisto gets a cake xD

WTF is up with Rin flying in the beginning!? And Even Yukio did not think the Christmas cake was strange xD

Yeah it was mostly filler, but I think it worked well as an endpoint to the last arc (Konekomaru trusts Rin again, Rin has reintegrated into the group) and as a break before the next arc (Yukio's affliction, return of Neuhaus). If nothing else, at least it was entertaining (for me at least).

-Rocket Rin (and Takara's non-reaction)
-Yukio being oblivious to birthday cakes with Rin
-Izumo's imagination running wild (Paku x Shima OTP)
-Heartwarming little moment between Yukio and Shiemi at the end
Ha-cha!

Same here. My score went from 9 to 8 because of the utterly pointless changes.

And this episode was a filler amongst fillers, which is saying something. The only saving grace was Mephisto and his 5 seconds of screen time, because eveninthose 5 seconds he manages to be simply FANTASTIC...

two filters in a row?? thats a such a downer...

anyways I think Yukio was putting his blood in holy water for his testing, which killed his blood in the last test tube. But I don't know what's happening here, we haven't covered it in the manga yet! *starts crying*

plus I think they will end the season at the start of the Impure King I reacon >.<

I enjoyed it despite being a filler. But it kind of concerns me considering that as others pointed out, there are 6 episodes left. I hope they do the series like FMA, where they redo the anime to follow closer to the manga once its finished.

Still I'm just happy I got my weekly dose of Rin :>.

Nice light-hearted episode this time around. Seeing them all preparing for the birthday party while trying to hide it from Izumo was pretty hilarious to watch.

Besides that it looks like Satan's powers are awaking in Yukio. And their monastry got attacked as well!

That ep was very pleasant - one thing I liked is the fact it featured a lot of Izumo; I like her.

Shiemi's "Thankyou for being born" statement sounded like the worst pick up line ever.

Ao no Exorcist has been improving a lot in the last 7 or 8 episodes. Even this filler is better than most development episodes of the first half-season.

First of all you should all go to the official web site of this anime and try a translator like in Chrome to translate that page then perhaps there may be a part that tells of all the OST songs.

Second sadly for me and all of you, that song will be most likely be in the OST 2 CD so it will take a while but then again I am not so sure what is out in the OSTs, if the first one is out then this one should come out too soon.

I like this episode even if it was a filler. It gave little hints of things that were confusing with still leaving them unexplained! (Like Yukio's arm problem, and the origins of Yukio and Rin's birth). It's taking baby steps.

I want next week to come already! D: From the preview it looks action packed and it can go anywhere.

I have this feeling that Yukio won't be talking much about his arm until someone rips his shirt off his skin. >.>;

Heh, all I've seen is the title, "An Ordinary Day", and I can only think of two possibilities:
1. Shitty filler.
2. Most definitely NOT an ordinary day.

I WAS WRONG! It was epic filler!
