Eh this episode feels almost like the previous one...

The usual teamwork between Rukuro and Benio against their enemies. One of them is starting to look like a jobber now. A lot of fancy moves by Benio and Rokuro though.

Matsuoka greatness in double!

Seems like Pierrot has improved their art and animation lately for this series.

I guess from this point the plot will now begin to focus on who Sae actually is.

I have a feeling that all this build up with Rokuro and Benio being parents for Sae will come to some tragic shit...

Even Benio's explanation about that rock-paper-scissor become hard for Rokuro to understand. It is scientific, but still hard to understand.
But more question appeared, about Kuranashi and Sae's sudden power occurred.

Tokyo Ghoul brothers were pretty lame, found it kinda weird that the white one was the mature deep-voiced one and not the other way around...Looks like next time we're getting some slightly-better-quality ecchi training which is better than a quick lame fight in Magano... I feel like at this point Sae's the only thing keeping me from dropping it

Another week, Another Episode, Another Basara(s), Another filler.

Pretty much the usual boring episodic filler stuff but the little showcase of Sae's power was nice.
The Basara blaming Sousei even though they were the ones that picked a fight with them in the first place. :|

This episode was really boring. It barely pushed the plot forward.

Also, I really hate how silly all the 12 guardians and the Basara are. Its as if they all had to have such over the top, weird personalities to be distinct from each other.
I understand that they want them to differ from one another, but this is just going too far. It's comical and destroys any sort of suspense any time one of those characters appears, that's how silly they are.

I feel like it's because Pierrot doesn't really animate them doing anything other than standing around and spewing a bit of dialogue that reduces their personalities to just one trait. At least that's what I can say for the guardians (especially the ones in this episode, the episode introducing Shimon and the episode with Lion-san). With the exception of episode 25, this arc didn't spend time showcasing their skills/showing us their strength and are only making them show up for a couple minutes, shoot a beam to get rid of the dragon spot, and then leave...so it feels like they're not really doing anything that lets us take them a bit more seriously.

As for the basara, since they're anime original, it's kind of expected for them to have weird, flat personalities that aren't further explored because we're only going to remember them for a bit before they never show up again after this arc. Also, like the 12 guardians, they show up for a bit then leave in the same episode, which doesn't really give much time to showcase much about themselves....

It's possible for over-the-top characters to create suspense (proof is in the author's works - Binbougami Ga and Twin Star Exorcists manga) but there's just not enough time in this arc/anime to do that and Pierrot's decision to have this many basara show up consecutively and introducing all of the guardians at the same time doesn't give them time to be more than just glorified guest appearances.

That's because the preview didn't show the action haha
The stills/close-ups look nice when Pierrot actually tries. Now if only the action was more dynamic and fluid but they can't do that if they keep overusing shortcuts.

Nothing much to say about this episode, it's pretty much just more episodic filler stuff. I liked it bit more than last week's episode but that's not really saying much. After seeing Sae briefly show off some of her power, maybe we'll finally get to learn about who she really is.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

We really didnt get see much of the Basara this time. The fight was pretty boring. No tension at all. I guess the real fight will be between the remaining twin as he seeks revenge.

It seems next ep the theme songs will be change. The ed really feels like it can be a fullmetal alchemist theme song.

Yeah they're obviously just making this anime longer with this original material. Since the start of this dragon spots arc it turned episodic.

Okay fellow viewers, is it just me or does anyone else think that Sae is actually related to Benio and Rokuro in some way? Like a future kid from a potential future or something like that? It's too convenient with the whole papa thing and meeting them. Or at least something similar along those lines.

Last episode we saw a basara with Doflamingo's (from One Piece) appearance, now we saw a twin basara with Doflamingo's ability :p Damn.. they were so weak, i'm disappointed =3=

That new character Kuranashi kinda reminds me of Rabo from Noragami :|

Yay, my favorite character from this show (Mayura) get a full episode next week! xD

Pretty much my thoughts exactly!! I mean to me Sae has inherited Rokuro's eye color and his personality and Benios brains combine both and she's one powerful exorcist baby :D

The more I see of Sae, the more I think that she's might be probably a catalyst of Key or something...
Looks like the Twelve Guardians are almost introduced, +3 more this episode and there are a few more remaining!
4/5.

Ohhhhh I'm kind of stupid for not realizing earlier, but isn't Sae the Miko? She completely deflected the Basara's power and she's the "child" of Benio and Rokuro.

hmm a pair of villainous Siblings this time eh
hmm so the main villain finally shows himself

Sae's so cute when she's asleep
hmm pretty unusual cast of exorcists this episode lol

lol Sae has a talent in distracting Rokuro
and that retort from Benio lol
and Now Benios learned from her lol
Lol Benio giving Rokuro a lecture on body language


hmm so they drove straight in Magano eh
nice touch with getting the hat back on Sae's head though

lol the brothers arguing which dish Benio and Rokuro fall under
The transformation scenes were pretty well done as well especially Benios

hmm those brothers are no joke
that kind of team work though and their skills as well

unsurprisingly Rokuro and Benio were beaten by the twins excellent teamwork
acting without words or signals is something that Benio and Rokuro need to learn

hmm Sae has a special ability to create a shield then eh
but man that was close
good thing they were saved by those exorcists from before though
saved by the 12 guardians again eh
but then again these enemies are way too powerful for normal exorcists anyway
lol they actually charge them for the help

Still they are doing a good job in introducing the twelve guardians though
considering how important they are to the main plot
protecting Sae is a great motivation for the pair

Having faith in your partner is another thing that is important for pairs
haha take that arrogant twins
well underestimating Benio and Rokuro cost them that fight
To think that Sae saved them with her ability
thats really something

hmm the main villain sure is heartless
treating his assets like that
killing one and lying to the other
just like a villain eh
