Dissapointing ending indeed. Still hoping for a season 2 or a Ao no Exorcist : Brotherhood as already mentioned.

Also when that Auguste-guy came in with his sword.. I was wondering.. Didn't that sword TALK in an earlier episode? (Or is that just me being confused?) What happened with that O_O?

Interesting end I guess~ The brother power up scene was epic~ and they got to visit their mother's grave. It's too bad they both ignored Satan's relation to her. I want a season 2!

The ending was ridiculous, but I will try to ignore the last 3 episodes.
Giving it a 7/10
Will read the manga.

Mephisto talking to an old guy who never appeared.

I have no idea what it was about. Well, last two episodes weren't good, somehow they ruined this series for me :/

Well, I'm gonna read manga, I'm sure it'll be better :3

I lol'd. Hard. Mephisto was awesome. though, in those few seconds he appeared, especially in the beginning.

Now I hope the upcoming anime movie will have a more faithful adaptation of the manga.

Well the mirror part was the best that I saw in the last few episodes >.<
I could have hoped for a longer battle 'tween the father and sons, it was soooo rushed, like bla bla bla bye and end .....
well I did not read the manga but I guess I'll give it a try after this and then compare them ...!!
But then again...I do hope for a 2nd season >.<

i thought the same thing about that since they name it "Ghost Rider" and im kinda mad because.

I thought the same thing too but...


It was a disappointing ending. I really liked this show in the beginning. I wish it didn't have to go the route that it did. I'm torn between giving it a 7/10 or an 8/10 right now. If I forget about the ending it'll be an 8, haha. I just can't even swallow the idea of Satan being some misunderstood guy...

As others have said, I want an Ao no Exorcist: Brotherhood.

What was the final Mameshiba count? 5? Mameshiba is always good.

Like Serduszko said it's exactly the same case as Soul Eater.
At first this anime seemed awesome, but in the end it was quite disappointing. If the second season was realeased I probably wouldn't watch it. Waiting for the remake, though

It could have been a truly epic anime if it didn't feel like it was rushed so much. It needed more plot, more substance.

More closure too. I feel like so many characters didn't truly get their chance to shine.

And through it all Rin and the gang are all still low ranked while annoying Yukio gets to be middle-high rank.

and where was the romance with Shiemi and RIN!!!!

Ah well Kuro was cute.

They should have waited on making the anime, so it could follow the manga, that way it would have been much much better then it was, like everyone said, the first episodes was good, and thats because they where good and followed the manga. If they had waited alil more to make the anime, it would have been one of the best animes ever, and would have probly been 10x more popular then it was. x.x
...baka..people...should have waited.
i still enjoyed watching this everyweek and i love Rin to death, so its still a 10/10 for me. plus the art and music was awesome. :)

Huh, we're finally done with AoEx? Thank god...most disappointing series so far behind BakaTest season 2. First half of the series was above average for a shounen series, then it just craters into lolworthy in the second half. Even the best part of the series, the animation, really nosedived and this episode had alot of derpy faces/random moments of panning into the sky.

Also, i totally saw that stupid Arthur guy doing something "valiant" from a mile away.

6/10.

Someone that has a shitty view before watching something will make a shitty comment like you just did. I guess you never gave it a chance.

Anime gets 10/10 There was no reason for not loving it and if you haven't read the manga it's all good. Hopefully we'll see a new season soon.

@Icamhere gets a.... uh let's see.. 10/10 for posting a shitty comment.

Fuck yeah, Mameshiba!
Fuck yeah, moar Mameshiba!
This might be a pretty good episode after all. ( ¬‿¬)
Some random whatever stuff happening.
Even moar Mameshiba, fuck yeah!
And suddenly, the Gehenna gate is like, some huge space ship shootan' lazers and shizz.
lolwat, suddenly a huge flaming bird. Wtf am I watching?
I sure hope it's just A-1 fucking up. The manga just has to be better than this.
Oh, boy am I glad it's over.
Also, Shiemi can just go die or something. Stupid Satan not killing her properly.
Oh well, moar Mameshiba (‐^▽^‐)
And some random epilogue-ish thingy.
And then again, moar Mameshiba. ~( ̄∇ ̄~)
Judging by actual episode content, the episode was kind of, um... what's it called? Oh, yeah. Bull.
Though the amount of Mameshiba was fantastic. ( ¬‿¬)

Oh, can someone tell me the name of the song that starts when Yukio's and Rin's flashbacks appears? It's so awesome ;3;
And that ending was... crap. The only 'good' thing was when Yukio was surrounded by blue flames and then held hands with Rin, becoming an amazing eagle-or-something. <3

I'm pretty disappointed. This anime had a lot of potential, but they had to cut it short to 25 episodes and rush into an ending. I doubt there's going to be a second season with the way they concluded things. I don't get why they had to do this.

I liked the ep for the most part.
The Blue Phoenix was cool but it was so random, I would have bought it if Rin showed some potential for flight beforehand. I liked it when Yukio took out the sword he also got the Blue Exorcist power.
Yukio looks cooler with the demon teeth and elf ears
9/10 total since I liked the main concept

So, he's got demon teeth (I can accept that) and elf ears, eh? ( ¬‿¬)
Really? Elf ears? It couldn't be that he got, like, demon ears?
When did elves appear in this series anyway? I don't count Mameshiba as elves, no.

ahahahaha this was so bad
no end-fight with satan, satan in fact was really weak and capable of nothing
these little "bat-like-demons" did nothing, so i dont know why they even fought them, seriously, they did NOTHING

they randomly formed a blue-flame-phoenix with their "brotherly love and bond" lololol
1hit gehenna gate

in fact, nothing happened, they tried to implement so many anime clichés, but they didnt deliver
it was so poorly made that it was just embarassing to watch these last 3 episodes of this anime tonight, especially when a few days ago you just "finished" all the one piece episodes

and when you then "compare" this to the best anime (one piece) out there, well..
so rushed..

The series started out really good. The first few episodes I found were very awesome, but then it gradually decended, wasn't bad still ... but also not great either ... 7/10 because the first half was very good in my eyes.

And yes ... last scene - Celty ... lol

The anime original episodes were way way below average. I'm not sure what to rate since the first 10 episodes (following manga faithfully) was good.

You mean where things take tons of episodes to get accomplished and has over 300 episodes to watch? 8D

Annnnnnnnnnnyways, this gets a 10/10 for me because even though it's not faithful to the Manga, it was still damn good (TO ME) and I loved every Sunday sitting down and watching the newest episode. Sometimes cliched? Yes. But, I can get over that because the first half makes up for it like no tomorrow. Second half? Not as good of course. But, again, I'm just going to overlook that and enjoy it for what it is.

So, yep - Manga and Movie here we go!

Well, lol, at least the ending is a lot better than Soul Eater's. And, Tiger&Bunny just might make it's score go down. But, we'll see when I finish it

9/10 from me, love the BGM, OP/ED choices, love Kuro and love Rin :3 to hell with Arthur and Shiemi at least Arthur was quite useful this epi lulz
and finally best part of this anime original ending is......HAMSTERIMON :D especially when he was standing rofl
anyways it was a pretty predictable episode (except for that phoenix like bird thing lol) the fact that they focused more on the Okumura twins as opposed to others were a +, though I wanted more Mephisto screentime =3=
oh well that was pretty awesome, Movie here i come :3

Wow.... I'm really disappointed... Really, really disappointed.

It started out as one of the most promising anime this year. The introduction was interesting enough to draw me in. Everything to animation, characters and that awesome soundtrack. Even though the plot was filled with clichés, it was presented in a very entertaining way. Rin, who I thought was going to be just like all the other shounen lead, quickly became one of my favorite characters.
It wasn't until episode 15 when I started to notice something was a little bit off...

Everything I loved about this series just flew out o' the window. The pacing went way too fast, the animation (which became sloppier with every episode), the characters lost every single quality that made me like them and the story turned into some bizarre mess. Well, at least the voice acting and music didn't change to the worse.

The thing that tipped me off the most was when everyone found out that Rin was Satan's son. What do they do? Act as nothing... And that's when I decided to check out the manga since the discussion board was being flooded with complaints about it.
Despite the arc that follows was pretty weak in comparison to the earlier arcs in the series, at least the characters had realistic development. I mean, come on! Take Shiemi for an example. I kind of liked her in the beginning, but as soon as I saw her to the "Love/friendship conquers all-hug" back in episode 16 I literally face-palmed. She's not even a little concerned about her love interest being a complete demon, she just ignores it. The same goes for everyone else in the cast.

That's when people also started to realize that so much more was going to change.
I thought they were going to do end AnE in a fitting way to continue the plot from the manga in a second season. But no, they decided to go in a total different way. I'm not saying that a original route is anything bad (it usually turns out bad though), the route they took happened to be a bad one. As I said, everything felt rushed, the characters stopped being interesting and the plot made no sense whatsoever.

These last few episodes were the worst. Yukio annoyed me to hell with his sudden change of personality, that grandfather who was just there to get that stupid plot going and how they destroyed my image of Satan. I imagined him to be a sadistic bastard with no intention of his evil deeds (he's the devil for crying out loud, he doesn't even need an intention).

Well, because of the the first half of the series I'm going to give this 7/10 - and that's being generous in my opinion. I'm curious to see how the movie will turn out, but I'm not having high hopes if they're just going to continue where they ended it.

i have a question for the people that utterly hated the series...why were you even watching it if you hated it that much?

if you were hoping for it to improve, i guess that's one thing...and most likely the reason. But still, it's as if some of you act as if you're being forced to watch the worst show in the world.
