| I'll watch a second season if they give me more Shura. |
| >.> I wish they worked more on the character development and everything. The battle scene was just a bit short and cliche. But anyhow let's hope there's a second season that is improved by tenfold! ^_^ |
| I loved the ending! I was sweet and nice... This show had its bumpy roads where I started to just lost interest and hate the show, but it ended lovely! 10/10 Cant wait for the movie!!! It will most likely be a filler movie, but I'm okay with that! :D |
| this series wasn't that bad but i hope next year or sometime they would make a new ao no exoricst anime but closer to the manga. |
| The last episode and shura made this show. |
[center] |
| Meh, could have been better if they decided to stick with the original. But it was enjoyable nonetheless. I wonder what the movie will shove down our throats. |
| I actually liked this ep....granted I haven't read the manga. It was a decent series. Stupid here and there but I enjoyed it. Originally said 8/10 but thinking on it now and compared to some others I've rated, might bump it down to 7/10 instead Iilia said: This? (video in tag) Best part imo....really caught my ear when it was played |
| What's Celty doing in this ep? |
 |
| Flying UFO gate - fine... Joint phoenix combined brother power - okay... 'let's feel sorry for Satan' - hmmmm... I could've overlooked all that but what bothered me most was that they didn't animate Rin's ears properly at the last fight after he pulled out the sword. I mean his ears grow at first but then they go back to normal mid fight. xD It was very strange as an ending somehow, I kind of liked the reference to the Faust story with Mephisto. I still just enjoyed seeing the character's do stuff after the plot value went down somewhat so I can say I'm not too disappointed. More Ao please in any form. =) |

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.  |
| Really weird this anime. I still don't understand that Shiemi hate, she actually did some stuff and showed different feelings and was not one of this girls who can only complain or scream "hentai hentai hentai" when *THEY* run into the mens showers with only a towel wrapped around or something like that. That one scene with the womens changing room was one of the best of AoE actually, because of the way the characters behaved. It all started to go downhill with the appearence of their fake father, maybe earlier. Random changes, new characters appearing and vanishing, the whole Satan story (i really hoped they had showed him only pretending to love Rin and Yukios mother etc., instead of it being the real deal. It's Satan, common. They could have developed their own villian who turns out to be good, or used someone else, but why use Satan, of all things? Also, i didn't like that whole Gehenna gate design. It didn't look fitting. Especially when it started flying and shooting lasers, but i didn't like how it was drawn itself. And Mephisto is really weird, too. They managed to involve him and Amaimon in the plot without actually changing anything through this. And that random scene with that old man..just to make him remember something? And that they decided to have "baldy" jump in to the rescue, only to have him doing two attacks that did nothing and then only reappearing when he is leaving again? Overall, they managed to mess up a lot. And thats without knowing anything about the manga. Straying from the manga doesn't have to be bad, you need to shorten things and cut anyways, just like life-action movies do when they are based on books. Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings surely did leave out more things from the source then any anime ever managed do to, and still it was awesome. But why stop staying close to the manga, when you have no idea what you want to do instead? And t the ending felt like they all forgot about what happend. They fought Satan and got away, Rin may not have 40 years of experience yet, but he dealt with dangerous demons on his own before, and now theres the usual team of exorcists, Yukio, Shura and Rin (including his familar cat) and they still have trouble? Well, maybe the movie will clean up with some things, especially regarding Mephisto. |
DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: yah i will enver undertand why people cnat accept that the anime differentiating form the manga s good, hell the stuff that happened recently int he anime is 10 times better than whas going on in the mnaga right now cause the manga is DULL AS FUCK I repeat: No one would give a shit about an original plot if it didn't suck balls. |
| loved it!! :D:D the episode and the whole anime and that phoenix was awesome! :D have to read the manga now and see how things go on :P:P |
| What I dont get, is why when there mother was talking to satan after he failed, why she wasn't mad at him for how he went about fufilling that dream... Thats seriously how she envisioned it going? demons coming out and eating the humans without a care in the world?... ok then.. And shouldn't Rin be a higher level exorcist now?... he freaking fought against the gate as well as the paladin did, when he only had the like 3 weeks of sword training... |
 |
| Highly divisive episode I see! Half the people seemed to love the series, the other half loathed it as either a cliche shonen or a betrayal of the manga (or both). Personally I fall into the former, don't really see why the other camp hates it so but ah well. I loved the series and thought it was a badass finale, much better than the ending to Dantalian (the last finale I watched). AAA finally did something! He turned out to be pretty badass, surprising considering how easily he's gotten defeated in his previous appearances. I guess he's like Uryuu, specializes in taking down hordes of weak enemies very efficiently, but struggles to produce much force on a single point. I didn't see any ads for the movie, only mameshiba ... I look forward to waiting two years or so for subs, like I did the Bleach Hell movie. :/ Ah well, at least I know more Rin and Yukio and the rest is coming down the pipeline, and dont just have to hope for good enough sales to encourage a second series (of whatever kind) 5/5, series get 9/10 and is being archived. :D |
| The ending... well, I would've been totally satisfied if Assiah and Gehenna did merge. Overall, I liked the series, but it lost a couple points for the ending. |
| Decent anime with a shitty end. |
 |
| Mameshiba everywhere (gg). Well an ok ending, I think... openings are the best :P 7/10 |
| Decent ending. The music made it 2-3x better though. :) |
| 7/10.... the ending was alright! |
| When did this series go from being Spring season's best offering to...this? I have no idea anymore. I just know that the last half wasn't as enjoyable as the first, and nothing ever managed to come close to the quality of the first two episodes. 6/10. At least Hiroyuki Sawano made a great soundtrack out of this. (b '')b |
| very weak ending, still a 7/10 for me tho |
 |
| - decent ending. nothing really special. The phoenix fire wasn't that convincing. I prefer the brothers slashing and gunning demons instead of that. - the bro love here is quite touching though. - I always cringe whenever Shiemi appears :| - I still can't get over with the fact that Satan knows how to love. Ew. If only I could rate this anime based on the OST, I'd definitely give it a 10. Seriously, those BGMs are the best thing about this show. Whatever shit is on screen, play any of the BGMs and everything turns ok. :O But I'm not biased like that. 7/10. Might even drop to 6. |
| bleh is all i can really say...not the best but not bad. meh give it an 8 out of 10 first 12-15 episodes were great bu then it just pretty much belly-uped as it ended... |
| quite ..... i felt it's indescribable. i don't know what to say. it was quite an enjoyable anime in the first few episodes... till they switched tides. It became the anime i couldn't wait to finish and get it off my watching list. ------ they did not explain much. as in, the sudden increase in students. though we get the idea how. i haven't read the manga finish, but i feel that they sort of jumbled some parts of the manga, meshing it together hoping to make sense. Which they did it poorly. I don't think 25 episodes is enough. I dislike obvious scenes. Like the holding hand and something awesome appears. Felt weird... i knida saw that familiar scene in [url=http://uraboku]http://myanimelist.net/anime/7058/Uragiri_wa_Boku_no_Namae_wo_Shitteiru in the last episode. *shivers* i felt this anime could be better. please have a remake in the near future. |
| The last commercial sure did make me happy. The McRib is back bitches.  |
| Ok™ |
| inb4 Ao no Exorcist: Brotherhood. I'm disappoint. Even though I knew it wasn't going to be like the manga, they downscaled the show at the lowest level. Still a good show though, Rin and Yukio did a good job fighting Satan, aside the fights, still a good, but it could be a lot better. 8/10. |
 |
| I liked the series until it went away from the Manga. I gave it an 8/10 and thats being generous. I wanted to give it a 7/10 but it was still ok. 4/5 for the episode. |
| Um okay..... They hold hands, make a fire bird and kill Satan just like that?? I feel like the mini demons put up more of a fight than Satan!! Jeez!! He's a failure! 2/5 |
| Ignowance is bwiss. |

Which is still dumb that they defeated him so easily! |
| DUES EX MACHINA BOMB what the hell did i just watch? 5/10 Stupid ending to Ao no dues ex machina. also mabeshiba is a pimp :D |

stormgoddess said: - I always cringe whenever Shiemi appears :| ME TOO!!! -__________-### Ahh... anyway, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the ending. I also give it a 7/10. :/ |
| MAMESHIBA!!!!! MAMESHIBA!!!!! MAMESHIBA!!!!! MAME MA MAME SHIBA! Ending was good. Wish they'd follow the manga but I can understand if they only had the green light for 1 season that they'd go this route. It was surprisingly good for original content. Still think the whole arc with everyone finding out Rin was Satan's kid was poorly done though. |

| Predictable ending, but good watch non the less. Am inspired to read the manga, so i guess the anime achieved its purpose. |
 |
| lol okay. What a shitty, anti-climactic ending. You have to listen to the demons, eh, Rin? Why, then, are you killing them so easily? Best part of this ep = the mameshiba ads, especially the one with the baby who spits the dummy. XD Overall this series had good animation and art, and pretty good music (OPs/EDs). Voice talent was both bad and good. However the quality of the plot and characterisation took a sharp nosedive about 5-6 eps in and never really recovered. There were a lot of plotholes, inconsistent actions/dialogue from a lot of the characters, extra padding with filler eps and then rushed pacing with the last 6 or so eps. And don't even get me started on the ridiculous "Satan was just misunderstood!" sub-plot. It really felt like the writers didn't know what to do with the show or the characters, which is probably due to the fact that there isn't a lot of manga material. (This is why anime shouldn't be created until there is sufficent base material.) I'm giving it a 3/10 despite all the flaws because it was mostly entertaining and the animation was good. |

sillyker0nian said: The episode starts out strangely as we see Mephisto making a (demonic?) contract with someone who appears to be Leonardo DaVinci back in the 1800s'. I guess you aren't familiar with the german tale and/or the classic play: "Doctor Faustus" by Christopher Marlowe. The old guy wasn't Da Vinci, it was Johann Georg Faust.... he makes a pact with the devil/demon "Mephistopheles (Mephisto)".. but is the only being in history to make Mephisto understand the strength and resolve of humans. It was cool that they incorporated that into the show. But yeah, overall the 2nd half of this series was vastly inferior than the 1st 1/2 (would gotten a 9/10 from me)..... I liked the ending... but I didn't like the moments after they see their mothers grave. "Ghost rider?" REALLY?! 7/10... |
  |
| I'm currently having the same problem as a lot of people above, namely how to rate this series... it was great bordering on epic in its first half, easily getting 9 out of 10 from me. But the second half... oh boy, that second half... it's hardly even 7, more like 6 to me... now I can't decide what to give it as a whole - an 8 seems too generous because of the shitty anime original arc, but a 7 seems like underappreciation of the great first half... argh. Why did they have to screw up the second half so royally... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| 10/10 for Shura's tits. 8/10 for the music. 1/10 for tsundere Satan. 11/10 for mameshiba. Mostly, generic shonen is generic shonen. Too bad they killed off the best character in the show, Shiro. 5/10 |
| I loved the series, and this end is nothing less than I've come to expect from it. A pretty epic bit of fighting going on, and the gang got their moment in the spotlight. The scene where the brothers visit their mother's grave was a nice touch - leaving the audience on a thoughtful note. My only complaint is that I couldn't help but feel that the Ghost Rider thing was kinda weird. Btw, this anime has some EPIC MUSIC I'm definitely getting the soundtrack when it comes out :D First Call Me Later from episode 19, then the music which turned up in this episode. Edit: Why do people keep complaining about Satan being less evil than he traditionally is? I personally prefer villains who AREN'T completely antagonistic. Plus, that he actually loved Yuri helps the two protagonists reconcile with the terms of their birth; they were born out of love, and their mother was a good person. |

| YAY ARTHUR RANDALL (is that his name? xD) FINALLY DID SOMETHING WORTH WHILE!! I thought this end was so freaking epic. I haven't read the manga, so I wasn't excepting anything xD I thought the whole blue phoenix thing was freaking awesome!! Hamaimon pose at the end was also epic lmao... I can't wait for the movie omggg |
| Hmmm...Pretty cool episode although I can see why you guys say it's cliche. I like the whole light concept of reflecting the mirrors to lead it into the building and all. I also love the line Bon uses when that baldy monk kid asks if Okumura is going to be okay and Bon says "Of course, he's so stupid that if he were killed he'd forget to die." I wonder if that's been used somewhere before cuz I feel as if it could have. Still I really like that quote. I think that Ao No Exorcist may pull a Fullmetal alchemist and after it's finished they'll make a remake like Brotherhood that will follow the manga to the end. If so the whole mom thing will probably not be the same as this one. Anyways Blue Exorcist is popular as hell in Japan so don't be surprised to see more of it in the future. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| Those mameshiba commercials originally played when the episode aired. I guess it says something about the target audience. I don't know why people are hoping for a Brotherhood remake of this show. The material was generally faithful to the manga, and unlike FMA which did a 180 on the Homunculi, the concept and characters are still generally the same. (Plus I don't see what the big deal is about the series is in general.) At the least there might be a second season of the show. I don't think it's very likely, however. |
| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| Kuro is so cuuuuuute. LOL. Sorry, was all I could think about for most of the episode. I actually thought the phoenix thing was kinda cool. And lolwut. I thought the "ghost rider" was actually Rin and Kuro... the appearance of the actual one was kind of a letdown. And the twins' reaction to Moriyama... "ERK. SHE'S MAD! O_O" And this - Ollyx2OxenFree said: and Bon says "Of course, he's so stupid that if he were killed he'd forget to die." +what someone said - what happened to Paladin? Second season yes or no? |
