Wife was brought back to life or something?


Yukio is so annoying man, for fu_k sake. Inferiority complexes are the worst.

A flock of unintroduced characters, unintroduced background and new developments out of the blue just to prove that Rin can use his blue flames. How much stuffier and random can this anime get ?
A flock of unintroduced characters? The only new characters this week was Neuhaus' wife and Ernest, who has actually already shown up in the opening scene of the first episode. The teachers and people at the monastery have already appeared previously and aren't important enough to be elaborated on either so unless you also count in the random exorcist mooks I don't see how two new characters are one too many =s.

Unintroduced background? If this is about Ernest then I really doubt you should be expecting them to spill the beans on what's obviously related to this new arc. Neuhaus? It was already explained before that he supposedly lost his family in the Blue Night when Satan possessed him and his wife being alive is all part of the mystery of whatever's going on so it's still early to judge that. We've been introduced to an artificial life research laboratory so that could very well tie into that.

Rin being able to use his flames is something I'll agree with as being too hasty but this whole 'Hero masters his skill/power in the face of a crisis' has been done before so it comes down to how willing a person is to accept that development and move on. As for the crisis being random, Yukio has already warned Rin that people would be after his life should they know his identity so being attacked by a person who hates Satan is nothing to be surprised of. Again, the arc just barely started so it's really too hasty to claim it as out of the blue yet.

I'd certainly like to hear your reasons for your claims. =)

Like the episode, i was kinda hoping that Rin would go to sleep when Yukio hit him wid the tranquilizer,but other wise it was nice. I love this episode it beats the bday one although i found it sweet. But wtf is with that spider women. Was she an experiment of the artificial life? hmmm

i was hoping Yukio would burst into flames though :o. Haven't read the manga yet but they make it pretty obvious that something will happen because of the blood test thing.. ~

It could be that professor eyepatch & his wife(the masked man) are polish, they could be Polish characters which is why it was written in Polish. The professor's name even sounds kind of european, forget how to pronounce lol.
You know tht would make total sense as of this episode. Our country really hates Satan and anything that comes from it that is sinful thus why I am surprised that even anime got to our country since last in 1989s it was not even possible nor I think it was till the Russians left, anyway point being we hate Satan and it was wise for them to associate the eye patch guy if they did such to Poland. We really and really are Satan haters. Don't know how many Polish people are with me but I know religious it's very much so.

Smart move to include Poland in general in this anime because to us Satan IRL is a like a Jew is to a Nazi. Basically shit! This that in anime for me as an example I take fiction as not real but IRL yeah I hate Satan for sure.

I don't think like that. We hate Satan? I've never thought like that but all time at school we played with occult jewellery. Even if in Poland are too many too religious grannies why someone from Japan is intrested in this? And why polish people must hate him? It's not like wars and taxes are becouse of him. If creators of AnE just came up with this by lottery it's very very strange. Every time I look at this episode I think I don't see clearly.

Homunculus, anyone? That's what popped into my mind when I thought of artificial lifeforms.
If Nehaus' wife is truly dead, ^that is what that spider lady may be.

And it was kind of established from the start that Mephisto can't be trusted. The way this is going, it seems as if he wants to overthrow Satan using Rin. Or at least, that's what I'm predicting.

Oh wow, just wonderful. Rin, the guy completely clueless about controlling his powers, suddenly gains the ability to control the flames just when his friends were captured, travels at the speed of plot and arrives just in time, and we discover that not only he can manipulate his flames: he can hit with such precision that only the web gets burned and no one else gets hurt.

The only sensible way this could be explained is that the screenwriter pulled this plot development out of fucking nowhere.

Oh yeah, he has total control of his flames. I can totally buy it.

When did he start to train seriously to manipulate his power? Just two episodes ago. And now he can control them with meticulous precision and burn a target tied to another one, without burning the latter?

That's Deus ex machina, plain and simple.

Shura just gave him an idea to light the candles correctly. It's Rin's nature to protect his new friends. He had to channel that idea when he was lighting the candles.

His flames most likely hit them, but didn't burn them cause he wasn't aiming to hurt them in the first place. Just like how Rin burned off the clothes of Yukio and Shura. His flames never hurt them physically.

I think Rin's flames were never going to hurt anyone in the first place. Everyone was just scared that it would have.

When Shiemi got covered in Coal Tars while they were cleaning up the classroom, Rin set her on fire but she noted she wasn't being burnt. Rin set Yukio and Shura on fire but only burnt most of their clothes off while they were completely fine. I won't deny the end result was rushed but at the same time it was properly alluded to and not 'out of fucking nowhere'.

In anime and in manga I will always hate Angel >.< Why take Mephisto?? But then again we don't even know that powers he has in the manga... Maybe that was smart from them haha. But it's obvious that Nehaus is behind the damn Lab for his wife is alive...

Yukio *eye twitches* I bet they won't revealed what's happening to him until they do in the manga... which I'm guessing if its going to happen in season 2...

Grandfather?? *eye twitches again* Why introduce someone who's not in the manga.. Maybe he will explain what's happening to Yukio... But why only Yukio?? Maybe he hates Rin..

..
*twitches*

I just want to see the Impure King Arc.. Is that so hard to ask?? =[

Honestly, gotta agree with this post.... this episode felt rushed and filled with plot "duct tape". I know that they have to finish the series up soon, but this episode was still way to unrealistic. It was even more painful than the usual shounen powerups to me...

What a totally shit episode. Nobody is acting rationally. What about maybe, idk, USING FUCKING MAGIC AGAINST THE INTRUDER rather than a chair? God those exorcists-in-training are idiots. And Yukio's acting like an idiot, too, it was obvious Rin's blue flames would be able to get rid of the web from the first moment we saw them and yet Yukio wouldn't let Rin help at all.

Now we'll probably have Yukio either turning fully into a demon because he's angry/sad that he can't protect Rin or joining up with someone dubious in a misguided attempt to help/protect Rin. Boringgggg.

Damn, this show was promising at the start but all it's got going for it now is decent animation. Everything else (writing, characterisation, pace) has taken a nosedive.

Sigh, this anime is steadily getting worse and worse. It's a shame as it had quite a bit potential.

Of course, Rin is able to somehow about to control his flames perfectly in a few minutes of training and then arrives at the exact moment before his friends were about to be killed. A perfect example of poor writing.

Throughout the 2nd half of this anime, there should have been a visible progression of Rin's control of his flames in his battles until he was finally able to master them. But, instead, his mastery of his flames were obtained through a plot device. Looks like its going another mediocre shounen anime :(

Yeah... I was hoping Yukio's character would not get put on the backburner. After all, he did began his training long before Rin and it seems he uses similar weaponry to Fujimoto (their dad/preist). I don't want him to appear weaker as Rin gets stronger.

Oh, my gawd! The tension in this episode was HIIIIGH. I could feel it from here at my seat o______o;;;

Anyways, stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid PALADIN! You freaking stole Mephisto's golden moment - he was going to be freaking EPIC. But, NO - "Don't play with fire at night". Bulls****! I call shenanigans! *shakes fists in mighty rage*
And, then, he has to go to court over artificial life research? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

But, OMG that spider-demon thing is so freaky. It added sooooooooooo much more to the episode. And, then he/she calls Rin?!

Anyways, great episode~! This will be the first episode of any Anime where I will actually rate it and rate it as a 5 at that.

I need to watch 21, and then there's only 4 episodes left. *cries* ;_________;
