| a very good ending to me..love this anime |
| Just finished the series. I've been enjoying the hell out of it and burned through it in only a few of days. Maybe it's because I didn't read the manga so the plot diverging from it wasn't a problem for me. This episode I give a 3/5, only because it felt sort of rushed. As a whole though, I give the series an 8/10. |
| A 15 minute ending oO well okey that's a first for me... They sure managed to make it a interesting ending fight with both brothers to finish off or at least for now Satan! But why did they let the story that open anyway? Are the movies a recap of this series or is it more of a sidestory? But yea the ending is rather starting something new than ending the series! What did bother me is the huge amount of fillers that where put into this anime, but in general it wasn't all to bad the concept was quite nice and the story development as well. What did amaze me was most of the time I thought the episode finished but it seemed that I was still in the near middle so that's some quite impressive compact story telling there! Either way great anime in general! 9/10 bes the nice concept! |
 |
| good episode, yet the ending was lacking. Pretty cliche ending with brotherly love, and i don't really understand Satan, i guess he has a good heart deep down, eh? Oh well, it didn't ruin the series for me. ^_^ I adore the baby shiba commercials!!!!!!! I love this series, and for what its worth i'll check out the manga to see what most of the viewers are complaining about. |
 |
| posting because i've been seeing ao no exorcist pictures on tumblr and it only reminded how much i hated the ending to this. the ending is the absolute worst ending that could've ever happened. seriously! brotherly love? brotherly love snaps yukio out of being possessed by satan? then the whole "yeah!!!! let's beat satan yeah!!!" thing came and it's like a really bad shoujo crossed with this ending and gave birth to what we got. i was so disappointed. and it sucks because i loved this anime right up until the middle of episode 24 and once i saw how they were planning to end it, i was crushed. it was like eating a really delicious piece of pie and then finding out the filling is cockroaches and dirt. well, at least the manga is pretty good and still going. :( |
 |
| Series was surprisingly enjoyable, although the ending felt a little anti-climatic. |
 |
| The part hwere the blue flame phoenix attacked the gehenna gate was really cool. Also the part when shura, rin, yukio & angel attacked as a team was great Really glad that I watched this series, planning to watch the movie sometime soon! |
| How the hell is this > 8. Oh well no regret for waiting this long to watch it. 6-7/10 |
| This show could have been more original, with less red herrings at the end. Also its kinda hard to take priests seriously when they cuss like a sailor. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| That was lame ending to average anime. Manga is better. |
| This episode wasn't an actual final, because the decisive hit against Satan seemingly has occurred in the 24, so yeah, 25 was more like adding final touches. There's not much to say about it, except that it was pretty lame, but the whole original ending is lame, so it's not like we could expect something much different. It's bad, but not horrible. And to be honest, the combined attack of Rin and Yuki was really awesome. My overall assessment of the anime: 1. Characters. +1. I like this anime's characters very much for some reason. They doesn't have much depth to them, but they are still awesome. Maybe it's because of the very anime setting, I don't know, but I like them. My favs are Bon and Shima but Rin is actually one of the rare cases where I like the MC in an anime, and I also like Shiemi very much. Mephisto was cool as well. Overall score: 8/10. I'm all in for Ao no Exorcist Brotherhood too.2. Atmosphere. +1. Awesome, Yes, this anime has a lovely atmosphere to it. I love it especially when the characters are in the True Cross Academy, but it's also good when they are on mission. 3. OST. +1. This anime has some great OPs and EDs - the first ones were good, but I really love the second OP and ED. I have no objections for the themes besides them as well. 4. Animation. +1. Yeah, this anime has a really high-quality animation. It may not be the most detailed one, but it fits exactly well the story. 5. Background story. Well, no much background story was revealed, much of it was filler, and anyway, whatever was revealed wasn't really great. 6. Storyline. +1. I don't know what to say about the storyline. It started really well, and it was great while it was following the manga. I guess I will give a point here, because it was the ending that felt off. I'd have liked so much to see more development related to what happened in the manga instead. 7. Ending. Yeah, we all know how bad the original ending is. At best, it was lame. 8. Drama. +1. The drama in this anime is rather light, but it's still good. I mean, we don't need any more drama than that. 9. Overall affect. +1. Despite how bad I felt while I was watching most of the fillers(and the amount of filler episodes in this anime run was too darn high), eventually I can't feel different than good about watching this story. It had it's moments, it has some good concepts, and while it's really lighthearted, it actually makes you love it before you know it. Bonus(extra) point for:... +1. True Cross Academy and everything related to it. I can say that Ao no Exorcist is the Harry Potter of the world of anime, but I think it's actually very much more. I just love the time spent in exorcist classes and the time spent in the Academy at all. The very exorcist concept itself. How Rin's class grew to become (somewhat of)an affined team. If I gotta choose in what kind of anime setting I would like to live in, it definitely would be True Cross Academy, and not a shinigami, ninja, or a samurai, or anything else. I love it so much that the original ending couldn't make me feel much worse about the anime no matter how lame it was. |

I seriously hate this Memeshiba shit =_____=' ^ That's exactly what I thought. But oh, look, Okumura Kyoudai Powerrrr! Blue Phoenix Wings!!!! XDDD Suguro worrying about Rin was cute with his noogie and all C: Ofc Yukio's Paladin title got revoked. If he couldn't even do anything against that spiderweb masked Michelle, he most certainly can't be on the same level as Father Shiro, smh. Idk what the purpose of Takano was in this anime. Other than being a ventriloquist and his small narration part. I expected some epicness from him but NOPE. Don't know why you're there, dude. Mephisto didn't really do much either :/ His powers weren't really enhanced. He's just another one of those chracters that does things for his own enjoyment so meh. Likable though, I suppose. A demon possessing vehicles..... eehhhh... Annnddd I rate this an 8/10. Because I'm lenient like that. Haha. Plus I remember how the first half of this series blew me away *nods* |
| Glad it's over. It's like Soul Eater, just put some random ending at the end and consider this series done... But the first half was enjoyable and the rest was at least "okay" |
| What an odd series, i enjoyed it for the most part, but... i just couldn't take the show seriously towards the end what with Satan's conflicting character (kind in flashback??? what??) and that god-damned Shiemi character. Otherwise it was pretty good, but it could be way better :P Still an 8 out of 10 |

| a really good anime the only thing i dont like its the ending (what ending???) but its a really good anime i give it 8.5/10 and for sure I WANT EPISODE 26!!! |
| i got no gif for my signature..... imagine some cool swords clashing and light and fighting everywhere! |
| I knew the Blue Exorcist anime would be different from the manga so I was worried that I would not find it enjoyable at all. However, I really liked it despite the ending being a bit of a mess. It was not a complete disaster but it definitely could have been wrapped up better. I hope in the future Blue Exorcist will get a Brotherhood because the manga is pretty good and I'd love it if we could see it animated. |

| Was an ok show, mostly ruined by it's episode count. Could have been something great with it's premise and above average animation. Not really sure where the hype for it comes from, the ending is very weak and the show skips around too much and wastes a lot of time while never fully developing any one thing enough for me to really care about the outcome. The characters are never fully realized or fleshed out and end up just getting in the way over and over. The majority of the show is just spent doing random things in the school with the pointless side characters with no real consequences for any mistake or action. It's too bad, I really thought something interesting was about to happen when we were shown the relationship between Satan and Yuri but it never went anywhere. If anything it took a step back because there's no way Yuri would agree with how Satan is bringing the two worlds together, yet they show her speaking with him after he's failed without her being upset at how he went about doing it. Doesn't make a bit of sense. Just thinking about how stupid Angel and Mephisto were used in this show frustrates me. Everything about those two characters is just so badly done, Angel is a puppet that doesn't even follow orders correctly. Says hes not letting anyone to the roof, yet he lets 5 students pass while fighting only one person, then he later reinforces his loyalty to the Vatican then instantly letting another person past him, he also brings up the fact that "nobody gets past me" yet 5 minutes prior and entire group of kids just got past you. Then Mephisto is this mysterious guy with no consequences to his actions. Gets jailed? Sneaks out through with ease(worst prison system for someone who can shapeshift ever). Sends demon king brother to attack students in the school? It's fine, I have a plan to use Rin as a weapon(that never really happens) so all is forgiven. I was hoping for(although realizing it wouldn't happen within 25 episodes) for Ren to either become an exorcist and gradually come closer to confronting Satan and becoming a Paladin while developing all these side characters that the show gives us or traveling to Gehenna(I want to see if it's all entirely CGI waves of skulls or if the creators could actually think up and animate something interesting) and having some sort of confrontation there rather than a generic and deja vu sort of events that actually happened. It would of also been nice if Yuri and Satan would of tried to argue for race equality between demons and humans, but that was thrown out the window for time I assume or is just there to move the plot forward for Yuri and her meeting and trust of Satan. Guess every anime can't be as good as Shinsekai Yori. |

| 10/10 for me Cause it has awesome fights and i`m hoping a season 2 of this show i`m still in love with this show... |
 |
| Firstly I have to say that in overall, the anime was good. in the begginig I couldn't stop laughing my ass off at the most ridiculous parts, but then, the story continues and suddenly we learn that Yuri also has powers and it kind of shitted the anime. I mean, it was funny and all, but the shit about “the power of family overcoming every obstacle” didn't really buy me. I am dissapointed of the last episode, it could have gone way better |
Game over. If that's the case, I just have to play again. |
Samu-tan said: AoEx was overall a very mediocre anime. The only really good episode was 15. The rest was average till slightly good. It was an enjoyable ride at first, until episode 17 or so. Then things started going downhill. And then it went even more downhill. And then things just got plain shit. The last arc was cringe-worthy, I don't understand how A-1 even dared to release this. The production values also took a dive in the last couple of episodes, it's like they were out of money. I can't believe Satan was like "HURR DURR, I FELL IN LOVE WITH A RANDOM HUMAN GIRL AND WE PROMISED TO REBUILD THE WORLD, BWAHAHHA EVIL MASTER PLAN DERPHERP". I mean, seriously? It's fucking Satan. Not your average anime villain. Well, A-1 just made him that. God, such a lame move. 5/10, considering lowering it to a 4. I am NOT looking forward to the movie. I'm really wondering why A-1 decided to end the anime like this. The first volume sold very well, and I could've kept an open ending so they could make a sequel in the future which would most likely sell just as well. They really are brainless over there at A-1. This pretty much sums up my feelings on this show. There was a lot of potential but it couldn't deliver. Didn't even realize that it deviated from the manga since I never read it, explains why the second half was crap. I'm surprised it has such a high rating here since I thought it was pretty average. 5/10 |
 |
| I was really entertained at the beginning but sadly after reaching the second half they decided to end the show quickly by throwing a rushed and boring predictable plot :( |
 |
| Among the weakest endings I've seen for a show, as many others pointed out, I think the episode count ruined the show, should have been many more. It was far better in the 1st half than in the latter half. Not bad, but...not exactly memorable either. Glad I didn't rush to watch it, 7/10 |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| ending was awesome. finally get to see the twins in action. so glad i keep up with this, nearly dropped it at episode 4. overall 8.5/10 for me |
| how did Yukio's flame awaken after drawing the Koma sword when only Rin had his flames sealed in it? The one shotting Gehenna's Gate by just lodging a sword in the right spot? Lame. This might be as bad as Soul Eater's finale |
 |
| I quite liked this series/episode. I wish we got more of the puppet guy, besides the random appearances he had here and there, I was hoping he'd be some big shot in the story, a spy for the paladin or something. I also wish we met more of the kings, we only met the king of hell, and well, mephisto. This show will get a 9/10 for me. |
| Anyone else think articuno when they went phoenix mode? |
 |
| You know something, when your final antagonist is SATAN, and you somehow manage to take the fire out of the devil by turning him into a disheveled brooder who misses his wife, your series is flat as a bottle of Crystal Pepsi. Blue Exorcist sums up everything I hate about modern day shounen titles and one of the most annoying tropes has been villains with sappy backstories, and giving one to the father of all lies just takes the cake! Shounen action anime has been a box of cake mix for the last 10 years and everyone has just been following the directions without adding their own twist, spices, or seasonings and he end result is a long string of titles that taste the same. Blue Exorcist is just another one, yet somehow manages to be even blander. |
[/url] 
| Really... What the hell kind of ending was that...? Manga is so much better |
 |
| You know, the idea of the story was okay but the execution of it could be better. In many ways it was very predictable. The end was not so spectacular, especially that "car" could be left out in my opinion. 7/10. |

StormSky92 said: I was ok with the ending. I've seen better, but i've also seen worse. It definitely makes me want to read the manga though, to see how the series is different and how it will actually end. I feel the same way brother |
| the first few episodes of this show really had me but the rest not so much |
 |
| That was a damn beautiful ending. |
| i can't help but say that, that nemu takara did nothing at all, wtf was the point of having him in the story? |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Meh, this show was okay I guess. It felt like really rushed, and I would like to see some more development of the characters. Like there were like no character development at all.... 6/10 final score |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| everything anime original was garbage and felt like it was written by an elementary schooler.. took down my score from 7 to 5. |

angelfire892 said: And it ends with a fucking demon truck...ugh. This ending was the most disappointing thing ever. And since when does Yukio get duped so easily in the first place. I know, right? Up until that point I was giving the series a very low 7 out of 10, but then they ended on that scene, causing me to drop it down to a low 6. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| They somewhat saved the ending. I will surly go for the manga later on. Can't wait to watch ova/movie. |
 |
| This went too non-canon haywire, I am displeased about it. When will this get a remake? It needs one, I wanna see Thunder. Fuck. Well decent ending, a final rating of a 7. I expected more of this 😐 Well I wonder what the movie is about. |
