I have actually made a concious effort to remain neautral towards Shiemi, however, she seemed to be at her most annoying level of 'shounen moe girl' in this episode, it was a case of 'how many feminine clichés can we squease in'...
- 'power of love' in the start with Shiemi being at Rin's side when he got flawed
- cutsie, plush toy looking familar (present for merchadising purposes) with cutsie attacks
- Shiemi 'rescuing' the team from danger after THEY did a great job
- indirectly ranking herself above the team (dispite being the newest member) by taking on responsibility that wasn't hers and failing to aid them as they did a vital job rescuing others
- getting hurt as expected after delivering a 'power of love' 'my hurt feelings' speach
- being defenceless and ill prepared in general
- falling unconcious
Shiemi in herself and the situations she's hauled into could create an encyclopedia feminine shounen clichés.
I'll remain neautral towards her, but frankly, I'm too old to 'adore' (what we're all suppose to do) her.

Forgot to add, the rest is pretty much what I expected; Rin's 'I don't want to feel loss way again' speach, Rin's injuries not being as bad as they should have been, Yukio finding himself, Yukio being 'rescued' from further harm; all sweet, but yeah, expected.

I'm suprised that people are still seeing Satan as a decent individual - Satan's number one tool is deception, you don't need to be religious to know this?

Overall, good episode, cliche's aside - 4/5.

Shura's and Yukio-Satan's fight is quite enjoyable but unfortunately we they didn't show Yukio and Rin fight against each other =(

Mephisto like always sitting on his chair, enjoying the show.

Next will be the final episode~

I love this anime but is way too cliche. It hasn't been dissapointing for me but there are points where the dialogues or the scenes become tedious. Anyway, hopefully the end will be worth it. Something to rescue: the characters. They're the typical shounen characters but I like then, don't know why.


Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

Ha ha! I thought the same thing.

As far as brotherly love, friendship power goes, that wasn't too bad IMO. I've seen sappier. If the bromance stretched just a little further it would have killed it.

So Yukio's pretty far gone, now.
I forgot to mention in the last episode that I like that the puppeteer guy had been narrating.
I hate when people in anime remain faithful to an entity they no longer trust.
I love how they make Satan swear at every opportunity.
Quite a long chant just to put out the blue flame.
He shot RIn...
The pace really slowed down for these last few episodes.

Before I forget, I always feel kinda let down when I hear the ED. The beginning is so mellow it kind of feels like I'm missing something from the (normally) climatic endings lol o_O
Anyways, Satan took over Yukio. Shura's plan with Rin seemed to work ... kind of? Shiemi was unexpected though :O To be honest I kind of REALLY WANTED Yukio to shoot and kill himself to defeat Satan lol O_O Which is weird because I seriously LOVE Yukio ... yea, I'm kind of weird XD Oh well, I guess seeing them hugging it out was pretty good too lol :P Although it was kind of predictable having Yukio come to terms with Satan and everything (especially talking it out) ... well I was surprised when he shot Rin though XD
Next episode is the final battle/climax ... I wonder what Mephisto will do, if anything XD It's easy to forget he (and Amaimon) are also Satan's sons ... hmm o_O

I'm fine with the cliches though, since I hate it when any of the likable characters die, lol :P and I didn't think Shiemi was really annoying :3 esp. compared to Orihime in the Arrancar Arc of Bleach XD

Depending on the last episode, this is going to be an 8 or 9 for me (:

But what a nice skit in shonen sauce, if you view all the time, whose climax came in the encounter-clash between brothers, I had tears. :P
Too boring at times the episode, it could make room for a bit of cynicism and better exploit certain times that they had an important value and minimize other unnecessary and without purpose. Drawings with ups and downs, I hope that the next episode is epic, at least to raise an anime series that did not shine as it should.

Episode 24 - [???]

Yukio is possessed and Rin wakes up to find Yukio in blue flames. Dude. He's been, like, oblivious to what was really happening about the entirety of this series. HAHAHA. It's okay, though.

Angel thought that he was doing something good and then Grandpa goes in and was like, "Well, no. You can still be my meat shield but I'm going to make Yukio the new Director." The crew is now fighting against Satan now like what Bon wanted to.

HAHAHA. SATAN. What are you making Yukio say, poor boy. Shura is like some sort of ninja, man.

Maybe Satan really did find love in Yuri but Satan really is an evil guy. Oh. Yeah, he still loves Yuri still but his way of thinking is totally wrong. The crew go to find Paku because she's still part of the squad. After saving Paku and some of the others Bon and the boys realized that they are missing one of their own, Shiemi. Watch. She's going to go and hug up on Yukio and be like, "THE FLAMES DON'T HURT ME." HAHAHA. Yukio and Shura are fighting and my sister just goes "OTP". Scared me but yeah, I can totally see it, too, even though she is way older than him. Isn't he, like, sixteen? OOP. YEAH. HERE COMES SHIEMI.

Rin and Yukio are fighting now. Yeah, as Rin thought if he calls on Yukio enough he's going to wake up. He's awaken now. AWWW. HIS LITTLE BROTHER CALLING OUT FOR HELP. OMG. NOOO. HE JUST SHOT HIS BROTHER. OMG. OH, MAN. I just love how much Yukio loves his brother. AW. OMG. MY HEART.

Man, I'm just so impressed with this dub, man.

DUDE. Mephisto and Amaimon aren't going to help? Like, at all? They're just like the commentary guys at the beginning of each episode. Just watching. HAHA. They're probably like, "Nah. We help each other but we don't want to be looped with the STEP-BROTHERS."

Hmm so much weird things. I mean Satan wants a world of peace between demons and humans because Yuri wanted that? And on the other side he kills people or even children for that?

Suguro, Izumo and all the others absolutely had no chance to do anything against Satan. Good thing Shura and Shiema found a way to escape with everyone.

After that Shura made a plan with Rin to distract Satan from the Gehenna gate, but he recognized immidiately what was going on. Shura made a good fight but also she had no chance. Shiemi tried to reach the controlled Yukio also unsuccessfully. Only Rin finally reached his brother after he got shot by satan and finally Yukio obtained his awareness back.

Satan disappeard from Yukios body, but where did he go? It looked like he's this demonic mass which comes out of the gate, but who knows.

And what will happen now? They have to close the gate, but it's way bigger as the last on Rin destroyed.

Mephisto and Amaimon are so chilled. For them it's lile watching a movie. Especially Mephisto seem to have a lot of fun.

Only 1 episode left :(

And there goes fucking Shiemi again being so fucking annoying by screaming "Bring back my friend". Lmfao. I was honestly screaming so loud at Satan to kill her. Ohmygod. I hope everyone realizes by now how fucking unnecessary she is in this series and she's just there to ruin everything and she really needs to go.

I guess Satan really loved Yuki then.

Cliche episode.
"Yukio can't be saved!"
"No I'm stupid and I refuse to accept anything you tell me, I think he can be saved!"
So cliche. Also, I don't like Satan's character. If he was this evil and unprofessional all the time, he would have killed Yuri using his hands, seeing as his flames didn't affect her. We saw the same happen when the idiotic girl with the small familiar called Mi tried (miserably) to talk to Satan, realise she wasn't as good at convincing people to change sides as she thought she was, and tried to protect herself.

Sorry for the rant but there's so many stupid characters and situations in this anime.

I feel like the seen of Yukio being able to "escape" from Satan was wayyyy too short. I mean I guess they got to the point but Rin was just like "Yukio" and Satan was all "He can't hear you" and why the hell would anyone believe Satan so Rin kept calling for Yukio and then after only a couple more shouts Yukio hears him and comes out of his "trance." I don't want to say it was predictable but it kind of was..... Although it was a touching moment when they embraced each other. Until Rin started bleeding out..

I've also been wanting to ask this for awhile but I keep forgetting. If Yukio knew he was also a demon and kept it hidden from almost everyone why did he originally want to kill Rin? Did he think if he killed him then his powers would be gone or something? Or was it just an empty threat? I never really understood that.
