Predictable. TOO DAMN PREDICTABLE. Glasses kid is such a weak character. Did not enjoy this episode at all. Other than the snippets with Rin .. glasses kid...he's such a coward. I guess they wanted us to feel the fear and power of the son of Satan..but glasses kid was just getting on my nerves. HIS NAME EVEN AIN'T MEMORABLE. ><

-Fight-o, Rin.

-Does anyone else have the feeling Amaimon got turned into that green hamster for Mephisto's (whatever his name is....) pure enjoyment? I think so ;)

Eh... I hope that was filler... I'd lose hope in this series if that was serious.

Well I don't like Konekomaru and I hate fillers (Hopefully it was a filler, besides the laboratory), but the episode was okay. Could be worse :D
Anyway...that hamster/mouse is really suspicious and I feel revenge in the air. ;D

I have a bad feeling that we will get only fillers until the end. There was only 4-5 episodes to end, and producers need to finish the story "brilliantly", even if the manga has just started. And we will wait for "Ao no Exorcist: Brotherhood"


No, if anything, we'll just get an original ending to this series.

People are confusing changed material for filler, yes there is a difference people. Changed material is anime original material, but it does further the plot. Filler on the other hand is original material that serves absolutely no point to the plot, and is usually "forgotten" about or can even contradict future or past revelations....

Even with the changes from the manga, this story is still proceeding and is flowing well, compare that to Naruto, where Filler contradict parts of its own anime. Now thats bad filler.

In polish fandom we use term "filler" for any non-manga material. I know it can be confusing, especially for english language speaking people, but so... It's my bad habit. I will try to use the correct form, sorry.

The Naruto fillers are detached from the plot, because there are no limit to 26 episodes, and then they are going to continue the main thread in the future. AnE anime producers haven't intentions like that, so they can do their own end connected to the canon story. But, in my opinion, their own work is nothing more than gibberish typical for shounen-anime stereotypes.

I can't imagine how to end this anime in more 7 episodes. Rin must defeat Satan and can't even control your own powers. He's just a Esquire.

And about his other "brothers" from Gehenna? Yukio's powers? That misterious lab who appear in last episode? Will Bon, Shiemi and the others trust again in Rin? Questions, questions questions...

I really would enjoy if Ao no Exorcist have a second season like Bakuman.

But in case of Naruto, he already control and uses Kyuuby's Chackra very well and can fight in a lot of battles against hundred of enemies. We can say he is practically a Jounin in terms of power and experience. Pratically, ok? [?]

Rin is another case. He can't control the demoniac powers very well and doesn't have any expressive fighting skills who can help him to win a fight against Satan (suposition). In my opinion he still is in the Esquire level.

Pretty sure this is filler. Although I haven't read the manga. The next episode looks interesting... 'An Ordinary Day' ahaha. Maybe they're making it stray completely off the manga, like FMA, first show. Hopefully this'll be good. But, if this is the case, it'll be cool if they make something like Brotherhood later on where it completely follows the manga. Well, we'll see in time.

It does if you think about it. Rin is part demon, and as the show has already explained he can see/hear demonic things that regular humans can't. The reason Koneko could see it was probably because it allowed itself be seen by him.

Yeah but I though all can see demons as long as they have a wound from them. Is that not right?

My thoughts exactly. I don't remember them stating demons can make themselves invisible for humans. That is way too convenient, why didn't all the other demons do that anyway? They could've just stealth-killed all the exorcists. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

*sigh* Well, Anime-side, it was pretty good and I liked it! And, yes, Hamaimon is so adorable and cute ❤ And, yes, he completely stole the episode. Haha!

But, for the Manga, completely filler and - dare I say?! - boring. I hate to say it, but, I am putting the Anime down a point or two unless it picks up from now on or if Yukio becomes a bad guy. Because, if he does become a demon, then that will be amazing and give the Anime an amazing ending since it'll be brother against brother! That would totally redeem itself in my book

I still love the Anime and will be collecting the DVDs, but, it's just not the same as in the beginning. But, oh well - I still have the amazing Manga and will be collecting every volume available c:

Maybe that demon was just powerful enough to trick normal humans or even exorcists, but not demons. Since he was really weak in fighting I believe that the demon must be some kind of Illusionist or something like that. So his power is to hide himself and to control other beings with his lies. And since there was no real strong exorcist, which could reveal him, he was able to trick them all.

Rrrr.... To be honest, my eyes were only on Yukio. He was really underused, it's been a long time, it's almost too late for them to make him a plot device, just barely. I hope something good is in store.

I haven't read the manga and never been a filler complainer but I have to admit I dislike the pacing as well. They can be leisurely if this is a 50+ episode but time is running out. Guess Ao no Exorcist can't end up being a legendary shounen material, but I still love it for it is. Pick up the story please... pleasee... original ending doesn't always mean disaster, it's ok if that's they way it should be.

Oh my I want Hamaimon.

I was pretty dissapointed because Rin was just so easy to beat Amaimon. He is the Earth King, right? DX (lol sorry I'm Amaimon's fangirl :P)

And... anyone knows what anime is in the break? the one with a little girl and a boy in the beach, then bushiroad...? really I'm curious...

Is it just me or has the art quality gone down this ep? Some of these scenes are looking a bit like Naruto-quality haha.

So why does Suguro like Rin again in this episode? Last ep he had a huge problem with him towards the end (for some weird, inconsistent-within-the-episode reason).

LOL what a stupid fucking fight scene. Why did the others stop fighting once the bird demon had stopped with its wind barrier? Rin was distracting it enough that they had a chance. Plus why would Koneko trust Rin all of a sudden and jump into his arms (covered in blue flames, the thing that Koneko is so scared of)? I mean, Suguro or Shima could have fucking stepped up and caught him while Rin took care of the demon. What a load of bull.

Aww, hamster!Amaimon. <3

Goddammit Rin, why didn't you tell everyone that Konekomaru was possessed?! You really deserved that punch, because you're a fucking moron!

And Konekomaru, you should have really left: there's no place for wussies in this anime. And why Suguro likes again Rin, when in the last scene he threatened to kill him?!

Well, let's hope the next episode will be good-oh wait, it's filler. Geez, this anime is really going downhill...

I think the reason why they call Rin filthy is BECAUSE he is half human. To them, "humans" are the dirty beings.

Yukio is dumb if he thinks his brother will attack someone without reason. Even though he seemingly goes on rampages, nobody even questioned him on his actions. Therefore everyone is a fool.
