Bro are you those who been called the 'radical fans' around? Chill, is all I can give you. Saying "The anime ignored a bunch of rules and lore established in the manga" pretty much proves how much you see in anime & manga version.
1. Shikigamis don't come out of nowhere, they come out of the omnyouji in the anime. Example case Kinako from Benio's shikigami pendant & her power, which clearly explained how Kinako able to survive/go outside of ISLAND. Plus one problem from you which apply to all belows, you seem to set manga material as the base of everything. In the world of all onmyouji standard, shikigami follows the master. So other way around in manga the idea of 'Kinako and other shikigami can't exist/is intangible outside the island' sounds more ridiculous don't you think? But sadly that kind of rule did happen in the manga, manga is the weird one not anime. One more thing about your 'anime decided to ignore this god knows why', as I have already try to explain shikigami existance IN the anime so please to me MORE about things that ignores whatever you talking about.
2) All the 12 generals showed up slightly early(cameo-like) in the special chapter is baseless and doesn't mean anything. Considering their personality/skills/face time that anime has way upperhand, in this case anime is the base.(don't forget animes are not made in a day or 2, everything about the generals are discussed way early than you think). Trying to skip talking about Sae huh, I will let you go on this.
3) What are you saying this makes no sense? Everything about Rokuro makes no sense from the start. When Rokuro goes Seimei mode in the manga when it was released, every reader goes "wtf" out of nowhere and only makes more mystery. Luckily it temporary pin on Sousei's miko child with her aftermath words. Back to the anime, there are only a small few reason why seimei didn't come out at that fatal time. Either the production doing a 2nd season by hinting the island/seimei at the very end or there won't be 2nd season. Don't misunderstand me bro, I never said they will dump the Seimei info even within this remaining arc.
4) Anime is more rush? what have you been watching all this time. Important info, light amount and simple. characterization, story is adding few fillers for character building and some new character to smooth things up(like Haruka for Ryougo). Battles, of course they go by quickly when they are animed. Or else what you want the production to do? deal with a monster whole episode? or are you saying the fight between Rokuro and Yuuto only few mint? Saying fillers are irrelevant explain how good of an anime watcher you are, really. I bet you skip every Naruto filler(if you are watching) and think of it as irrelevant. Rom-com thing will be hold to later point.
5) Hahaha, and again go back to manga storyline? You need to stop using manga as base. This is a long version anime, you can't apply manga logic everyime when fillers/new characters are all over the place in anime. Its true that animes are base on novels and mangas, there are also rare cases. Plus what I'm promoting is, smooth transition where manga and anime will meet at later crossline. For you, assuming anime will continue the island arc(if there is one) straightly.
6) The moment you admit the Rom-com in point 4 in the anime, you are already shooting yourself the foot. Because you are hinting there are more romance related scene in the anime. How can i even fail to see the amount of romance in anime and manga, when I'm commenting anime has more romance than manga. YES there are "physical attraction, shared the same goals/dreams, shared their horrible experiences with each other and helped each other overcome those experiences in the manga". Romance in manga is short bro, only a few pages and short moment everytime. Things that happen also apply to anime as well, because their story are similar == or are you saying there is NO physical attraction, shared the same goals/dreams, shared their horrible experiences with each other and helped each other overcome those experiences in the manga? Oh man, the fillers and Sae existance not there for you at all, her effort in bringing Benio & Rokuro closer wasted. You need to re-read the manga again bro. Manga version is a full shounen, of course it doesn't reflect romance properly. Thats why romance in anime are more warm and sticky. One more big thing, I didn't imply there is no romance in manga.

Manga is definately rushed bro, your 'faster pace' pretty much means its rushed. Don't try to beautify your words. When a plot is in fast pace, its rushed. Long series tends to drag out(and low quality in the process), its a given just like Naruto. But those extra fillers are there to give more character building and fun. One thing to surprise you, I'm a manga/novel(original materials) fan, but I try to be neutral and don't look down on anime. Thats how I can watch series like Aikatsu, precure and other boring anime which MOST members don't watch.

Hope that you wont reply this, I forgot that writing like this really tired me out. Everyone taste is different in the end.

How much are the DVDs selling in Japan though?

Sousei no Onmyouji airs at day time so it doesn't rely on BD/DVD but on TV ratings. We don't have any data for it's ratings but we do know it's doing pretty well in other countries like China where it has gained 170 million views so far in their official streaming site.

Mayura getting Byakko's powers was so obvious.

Mascera said:

LOL'd at that exact word.
Another past is revealed. And time for Mayura to stand alone by her feet protecting people she love.
I loled at this line though.

Don't need to read this since you don't wanna


Also, anyone else a little peeved that dragon spots are still possible even after Sae went back to being a tree? It makes her sacrifice rather pointless

There is a lot of plot holes that simply don't make any sense xd
Guess Pierrot just tries to patch everything up in some way that would still be somewhat interesting to watch. If Kuranashi had to go everywhere by foot ther would rather give him ability to teleport using these spots.

As of this episode, Mayura is stronger than Rokuro because she could do one-on-one against Kuranashi with the help of Seigen's Byakko!
So the mother of Mayura fell in love with the killer of her brother? which is none other than Seigen. I guess there are some girls who are more attracted to wild forceful type of guys...
4/5.

Interesting episode
The main focus is still the attack on the town by Kuranachi i but this focuses more on Mayura and Seigens part in it.

The revelation that Seigen was part of the Exorcist union's assassination corps and that such a unit existed was quite a surprise. As was the fact that Seigen had killed his wife's brother as well. It figures that members of the corps would wear masks to conceal their identities.

Not the best meeting it seems between Seigen and his future wife
I wonder what crime did her brother commit to be granted that kill order though
It seems Seigen did not enjoy his work either
Mayura though can be pretty trusting at times though but its nice that she still believes in her father and its nice to see her love for him is still there and stronger than ever.

Seigen and Mayura had quite the difficult choice in this episode between saving Seigen's wife and Mayura's mother and following their objectives.
The battles between the 12 guardians and the Basara though are still fun to watch. Love the argument between Seiyu and Ganbu though as they completely ignored the Basara they were facing as they did so. Seigen's divine form is still looking as badass as the first time we seen it. Though too bad that he can only use it for five seconds though. So Kuranashi used Moro as some kind of shield then eh.

Watching Mayura find her courage after realizing that she has so far been protected by the others was nice to see. Mayura has gotten stronger as the series went on and her determination to get stronger so that she can of some use to Rokuro and the others is nice to see. She was brave to take on Kuranachi by herself as was her courage to stay and fight. Seeing Mayura lecture Kuranachi about human values was entertaining. Humans may be foolish at times but we all have things that are precious to use that we will try to protect with our lives if need be.

This episode feels like a culmination of Mayura's hard work and it's nice seeing her fight a strong foe like Kuranachi with courage and determination. It also provided some backstory into both Seigen and his wife as well. Not the best of first encounters for them though but its interesting to see that he had piqued her interest with the events of that night. Hmm so the order that Seigen belonged to are charged with taking out comrades that were cursed then eh. Not an easy task considering that you are killing your own. Its nice seeing that Yukari understood this fact though and had forgiven him to a degree.

For Yukari to track Seigen down though is no small feat
he was right to think that she wanted revenge but it was surprising that she was actually worried about him instead. Their second meeting though was pretty unexpected but im glad that they ended on a much better note.
To think that Seigen would transfer his guardians power to Mayura though.

Mayura using the white tiger Byakko eh
wow that was unexpected
But Mayura more than deserves it as she has both the courage and determination and the willingness to protect everyone with it. Hell of a power up though
Since Byakko's power is focused more on defense and gets stronger with those that have a strong heart that aims to defend people Mayura was a great choice for it.
Its nice seeing Mayura's hard work and determination to get stronger has succeeded though. Still looks like there are more plans to unravel though.

Time for the counterattack to begin then
Score one for the 12 guardians lol

Good episode, Mayura finally got her time in the spotlight. The Guardians's duo moment was great too.

The preview though, lol.

Kuranashi is just playing right? I can't tell how he's having a share of fun with the way things are going, he's all just pure pretentious.

How the fuck does 2yr trained Mayura get to keep Byakko's power. So now what, she is one of the 12 guardian? This is too much nepotism
