Why did anime viewers say that this season take place in the middle of season one ? They even said that this season is side story -_-
The ending of season 1 is anime-only. It didn't happen in the manga. This season isn't side story. This season is the adaptation of Kyoto Impure King arc in the manga.
P/s: sorry for my bad english.

So when does this take place? Immediately after Amaimon?

So in this series the fight against Satan never happened?

Yep, directly after Amaimon. The training and the court are canon too but a little bit different.
They try to give you those information through flashbacks in the first episode of Kyoto Fujouou-hen.

I would suggest to read the chapters 13-15. Than you will be perfectly set for this one.

Extra info: Kyoto Fujouou-hen start with chapter 16 of the manga

Thanks for posting this. I was pretty confused when I saw Rin failing the candles again.

They basically made episodes 19-25 irrelevant

Well, actually those candle training parts(S1&S2) are both canon.

Starting with episode 16 there is a lot of anime original stuff like:
-The Kurikara, Rin´s sword, never broke; so as you can assume all this "how shall we repair the sword"-shit never happened
-The court process goes completely different (for example: Amaimon does not attack the court)

Missing stuff from the manga (I consider this as important):
-Mephisto is much more important in the fight between Amaimon and Rin
-For a moment it seems like Rin wants to attack his "friends" but Mephisto is able to control him by putting the sword back into the sheath
-There is a direct confrontation between Rin and his "friends(Shiemi, Bon...) <---At bit of this is shown in the first episode of Kyoto Fujouou-hen
-Arthur is still the same dick....

Info for the first episode of Kyoto Fujouou-hen:
Some stuff was already cut and they did a little rearranging

First episode of season 2 they were like trying to explain the story in a nutshell to the ones didn't watch 1. season. Because rin already got control over his flames, these dialogs happened in season 1 and they trusted and became rin's friend. Ao no exorcist really make me feel excited but this episode felt me like I'm watching an anime. Normally when you watch a film it shouldn't make you feel like you're watching a movie, same goes with anime. 1. episode is a let down for me but I'm excited about 2. one.

I thought s1 was pretty bad, this is off to a much better start. Although the taking place in the middle of the first season thing is really dumb.

I wouldnt exactly call the second half of the first season a filler since it contained stuff that will affect the overall plot. They pretty much pretended that the second half didnt exist.

Well if they started where the first season left off then they would be forced to make another anime original story since the second half of the first sesson isnt in the manga.

Did you not read the thread?

This doesn't take place in the middle of the first season, episodes 17-25 just aren't canon.

From the anime point of view the new season DOES take place in the middle of the already told story! Why are people always trying to mash it up with the manga ?

The only question that remains is if they are going to change the story due to the manga and pretend episodes 17-25 never happend or is season 2 going to be a side story to their original anime ending ?

THIS SEASON DOESN'T TAKE PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF SEASON 1. Even the manga's traing camp arc is different from the anime's. And the manga's Amaimon fight is also different form the anime's. And this season take place after the manga's Amaimon fight (Amaimon isn't dead. Rin's sword wasn't broken). That shitty original ending of season 1 won't happen.

It didn't happen in the manga story... we already understood that.
But this is the f**** sequel of the anime, not the manga. And even if it was a mess, the story was changed and i am pretty sure they won't correct that. I mean the second season already starts with flashbacks from episode 14/15 and due to the spare information takes place shortly after that episode. Its still legit to call that "the middle of (anime) season one". And i will bet you they are going to give a d*** about the manga again and just adapt everything to their own story.

In the end the anime is a product on its own and should be consistent in itself, like a typical film adaption of a book. In this context you can't simply take back story changes in the sequel just because you pissed off some poeple who read the original story. You normally go with the crime you've commited and keep the story of your product consistent even if it means to strangle the original story again.

At the bolded part. As many has pointed out in the forum and this thread. This anime isn't the sequel of the previous anime. If they didn't care about the manga, they wouldn't change the story in the first place. This already points out the obvious. They care about the manga and gives 0 f*ck about the previous anime lol.

The end of the first season was dumb, so I reject.

If this anime is boring you, I just suggest you to drop it ;)I don't see any reason to continue this if it's already obvious about you not being interested in these types of animes.

This topic isn't about you liking the anime or not in the first place, so you're already off topic.

1. What drugs are you taking? 2. Um, if you don't feel like you're watching an anime when watching an anime and when watching a movie you don't feel like you're watching a movie, wtf do you think you are doing?

Sorry but that's quite a stupid thing to say. If they started at the end of season 1 what would the story be? They would have no material to adapt and have to create it entirely from scratch. They also want to rectify their mistake of going anime original and create the story true to the manga.

To say it occurs in the middle of the season is still incorrect because in this anime the episodes 17-25 do not and will not ever happen, therefore to say it takes place between the events makes no sense because the events of 17-25 will not happen afterwards. If it helps, you should think of this as a parallel world, that branches off in 2 separate directions at the Amaimon fight. You could say the episode 17-25 of the original anime is canon to that anime, but not to this version.

People often use the word "filler" and "anime original" interchangeably.
