god dammit why? I knew it was leading up to this, but couldn't they have figured out another way? Sae was so cute, man. T___T

1) Introduce cute and endearing little girl
2) Build a close relationship between her and Benio & Rokuro
3) Tear her away from them, and us

T-THANKS...


This whore was worst loli in history. Couldn't be happier she is gone. Going to have a drink to celebrate.

Its nice seeing Rokuro and Benio worry about Sae
Because to them Sae is like a daughter to them now
and they have been through a lot

Damm thats a huge Dragon spot
makes what they been dealing with small fry compared to this

hmm a ritual to close the spots and restore the branch using the 12 guardians
its so admirable of them to protect Sae by putting themselves in danger to
protect the members of the 12 that are doing the ritual
Sae is family to them after all and sacrificing her is a no go

I also really like this side of Subaru's character
and the bad news keeps piling up now with Arima's supposed death

hmm despite this being Kyoto and the home territory of the exorcists
its exorcists are trained to fight this many kagere
they will need support from the other branches at least

Its nice seeing that Benio and Rokuro struggle with the decision
of whether to use Sae or not.
Sae is not an inanimate object and is a human girl that they been
together with and bonded with.
Its not easy to give that up.

seeing the 12 guardians in action though
this episode really is something
and that scene where they are gearing up for the ritual
the tension there and the music was well done

The ritual as well
the animation for that was also pretty good
as was the defense of the guardians that were responsible for it

The determination of Benio and Rokuro though to protect Sae is really admirable
hmm so the ritual didn't work then eh damn
and now the 12 are trapped within that barrier

that speech that Rokuro gave was good though
protecting Kyoto, its people , the 12 guardians and Sae
now that was a good one
Too bad that it didn't work though

So Sae decided to go back to the tree in order to save everyone
by sacrificing herself damn thats so sad
watching Benio and Rokuro see Sae return though really puts a tear to my eye
as well never mind theirs
Sae was just such a great character and was just so cute and positive
seeing her go like that was really sad

Damm the present that Sae left for Benio and Rokuro really put a tear to my eye
after crying so much when she was vanishing
Sae was just such a great character and her seuyuu really did a fantastic job
she makes everyone smile including me
she's one character that i will miss a lot on here

A fantastic episode and a fitting but sad end to the story arc.
Wish that Sae didn't have to go but the words that she said before she did really hit the heart. The last scene with her drawing was amazing and hearwarming as well.

Everything in this episode was so previsible,
Rokuro and Benio doesn't want Sae to go back ? Obviously she's going to
The ritual ? It obviously ain't gonna work
Resonance ? That ain't gonna work either

It's not because it was a filler-arc that it was not sad
It's because everything was so predictable

If they ever have the Miko it'll most likely be a girl and they'll name it Sae

Ya like most people said already, it was blatantly obvious that Sae was gonna get sacrificed. However, despite knowing that, it was still pretty emotional.. ngl I almost shed a tear. Idk why man, like ever since Sae showed up, it was very predictable that her presence would only be temporary, but whyy did I still feel so moved... Well I'm glad that in the end, she finally called Benio "mama".

I doubt Arima's dead tho. The way he supposedly "die" basically just screamed that he would get the last laugh. His aide is definitely evil tho. He's probably the one who broke the branch tbh.

Mmmmmmmmm not sure how I feel about this episode. To me, Benio and Rokuro demonstrated how truly selfish they are with wanting to keep Sae at all costs, not thinking about the consequences of the Dragon Spot taking over. They mentioned how they didn't want to "sacrifice" her, but really, wasn't she just returning to where she came from?

Plus that emotional moment at the end was totally ruined when Benio brought up the ohagi. For the millionth time.

Kinda sad that Sae is gone. Also, Rokuro and Benio seem to be getting closer.

Damn, it hit me hard on the pictures part... Benio finally became "Mama"!
When you know something is gonna happen but it still hits, that's just called good execution from the director, also happened in Major S1 as well..


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

For all the people that said that it was obvious she would die because it's filler, as a person who didn't know this was filler I didn't see it coming till this episode and even then I still found it emotional. I feel like if they had more time, this is was Sword Art Online would/should have done with Yui in season 1. This is also my first watch of this show.

RIP Sae, there goes the Loli.

The exorcists are just not strong enough to fix the problem themselves.

Especially with the Head Guardian eliminated/ trapped, they didn't have enough power to replace the Tree's power.

Which is actually quite interesting, as the "strongest exorcist in history" is suppose to be stronger than the Tree and the one that created the Tree...

Meaning the "the current strongest" is nowhere near the power of the actual strongest, the current strongest is like 10% of the actual strongest, LOL.

.

And the whole effort to close the Dragon Spot, the Dragon Spot was just a distraction...

The Sky is fake and the REAL Dragon Spot was hiding behind it and it reversed the energy and trapped the guardians instead.

.

Hmm... you think Sae would return... but I am not so sure, if anything, it feels like Sae would somehow reincarnate into Rokuro and Benio's "Legendary child" LOL (with or without memories...)
