THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So the goal now is the recapture the Impure King eyes..interesting.

More or less a buildup episode. I do find it interesting that they still revisit the time when Rin transformed to fight against Amaimon. Kinda felt bad for Rin though as he's locked up in all this mess.

I think the exorcists in this arc are facing some pretty dangerous adversaries in their way.

Wow, there were two dead in that car?!

Even stronger poisonous air when two eyes match...

Being honest or not determines one can become a good exorcist or not?

Delinquent looking guy told classmates about what happened.

That old man wrote a letter telling the twins that their father stealing that important sword, which was used to seal main guy's demon power. More next ep.

That old man runs in the forest every night for some reason?

Shame on them for ending the episode halfway through the letter.

That was a great flashback.....Can't wait to see the rest of it because I had no idea to expect that Rin's sword originally belonged to them

I have a feeling that when Todo doesn't need Mamushi anymore he is going kill her... And now that he has the right eye and the left eye that won't be really far away...

Loved the episode and the flashback. Can't wait to see more of the connection between Bon's father and Rin's father

I don't like how often they keep reusing the flashback scenes of Rin going berserk, feels like padding at this point.

It was actually mentioned in the first season (ep16) as part of the anime's modified route, when the sword broke during Rin's fight with Amaimon and Yukio asked them for help on repairing it, in which they learned about it who it originally belonged too, Suguro's family.

I think you got it wrong, that was him going after Mamushi, in other words, it was the present.

Pretty good buildup episode.
The beginning part with Suguro's dad rubbing Shura's butt was hilarious. XD

The flashback is really interesting, can't wait for more. Don't really have anything else to add for now.

Good episode. As someone else has mentioned before, they are kinda using the Rin getting captured flashback scene a bit too much even though I understand they're using it to strengthen those particulair scenes. So mixxed feeling about those flashbacks.

Everything else was amazing though and some important info Shura told to Yukio. We're at the flashback about Tatsuma's(Mr. Sugoro) encounter with Shiro(Mr. Fujimoto) aswell :D

As usual, 8/10 for me.

Can u pls put spoiler taggs? You do know there are people who just watches anime right and doesn't read the manga. There's a reason why manga readers doesn't spoil this arc or future arcs.

Great episode! It's a shame that they had to stop midway while reading the letter.

But next episode shit will go down! Todo's plan will begin to unravel!

That lady was original character because in manga Kurikara never broke so there was no reason in finding way to fix it :P

Shura was awesome this whole epiosde, feels like her personality is really coming through this season which is great.

The backstory so far has been good but the animation in this episode was not up to the standars they have set themself.

Not overly keen on the new VA for Fujimoto - I think the first season was a much better fit - but otherwise a pretty cool episode. They are doing pretty well in sticking to source too, which is always a bonus.

Paul said:

I think it is fairly safe to say we won't get that far. A single cour is enough to cover the current (Impure King) arc and maybe the <spoiler-ish> mini-arc (basically to the end of volume 9 of the manga) if they rush some of the IK arc, but the next big arc and beyond is virtually guarenteed not to happen this season.

I didn't think he's that serious with the current personality (even though we learned he was serious when he was younger in the letter), and just a guess according to his habit of disappearing every night, I thought it's his doing right now (I know it's the present) is the same. Seriously, he's a hard character to understand.

What do you specifically mean with "Nothing happens: The Anime" :O

Is it in terms of action? If so, I can agree(but will change after next episode or maybe even mid episode).

If it's in terms of char development and story, I disagree.

You are VERY wrong. It's showing the world of Kyoto, the Kyoto branch and the characters in that sect. If the Anime skipped all that we'd be confused of what was going on and we'd have a crappy adaptation. This is build-up and character development. Everything in an Anime doesn't revolve around action; it's the characters and the world that creates the atmosphere if there was no characters or world we'd have no Anime.

So you didn't read the "imo"? He is indeed correct to my point of view, the show is going really slow. As it is, it has nothing to do with the points you said, Character development? You don't do that with only flashbacks and fillers, makes no sense. It's all about how the story goes, as an adaptation, they are just adding more and more flashbacks and this episode just felt like filler, making it progress really slow. At least that's my view in all this.

So adding 2 filler flashbacks makes the whole episode filler? I don't see your point tbf.

I don't know know what 'imo' means. Sorry if I was too blunt, but I agree that the continuous flashbacks from season 1 do feel like that AI isn't trying to put their all into those scenes and is just grabbing the premade stuff from season 1. I have to disagree though that the rest of the anime is good because it's getting enough world building and development while a lot of adaptions seem to skim over that. What I mean by that is we see what's in the Kyoto sect; we see Shima, Suguro and Konekomaru's conflict with their family and problems. This Arc is mainly about friendship and them overcoming the hardships of Rin being the son of Satan so a lot of drama suits this season in my opinion.
