Again, not the most eventful episode.
Some self reflection though, making slow progress.

I'm going to keep this brief. No one likes some salty dude insulting a show you like in the forums. But forreal I hated this episode. I wanted to like the original Ao no Exorcist when I watched it but ultimately didn't think very highly of it. Enough time has passed now I couldn't exactly remember what disappointed me about it. But after a promising and then rapidly deteriorating start I remember now. Boring one dimensional characters who never change or grow. A needlessly complicated and to this apathetic viewer nonsensical supernatural plot. And last but not least. The shitty inconsistent animation. I don't even remember her name, but seriously blonde always wearing pink shit girl. Her side facing character model was a travesty. It's not that uncommon after they've hooked you with the first few episodes to see a drop in animation quality. But this is BAD like it honestly might look worse than the original series. No mean feat.

Bolded: Are you claiming every character is 1 dimensional or a few? Because if it's the first, it shows you didn't like the anime before even giving it a chance and did not pay attention to the interaction at all. If it's the latter, I can understand that even though I will disagree.

You talking about Shiemi's side facing character model is true though.

Aww man I totally forgot that Rin's father was this badass :< Shame that author killed him off pretty much right at the beginning :|

Also, I completely don't remember what's up with this purple-pimples illness, is it a thing from the first season or what @_@ How does it even work?

The anime already mentioned it, but let me just copy-paste the manga.

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.

Yes, but that aside they have been doing the same with all episodes, they have been adding flashbacks worth of story time. As filler, i meant story filler combined with flashbacks, episode 5 by itself was filler/flashback only no matter how you see it.

U can't call it a filler episode if only 1/4 part of the anime had filler flashbacks.... The story progressed in that episode, so no. I disagree with your argument.

Wow! This episode is even better than the previous, in addition to psychological introspection and entertainment, there is something unexpected and interesting; the narrative so does a huge qualitative leap. I'm just sorry for designs, not up, as usual, some is narrated. I hope that there is more space for the characters of the cast, we always talk so little about them, it's a shame.

Poor Rin :( People still get apprehensive around him. I want to give him a hug. At least Renzo and Izumo talk to him but still...

LOL at Rin being unable to read that letter, he looked so serious. XD

I got excited at the same time, my heart broke, when I saw Father Fujimoto. At first, I thought it was the Tengu talking lol

Ah great episode! I really enjoyed this one. Of course Yukio has his suspicions about what Toudou is planning and no wonder too ... dang. We get to see a bit of Tatsuma's past and how he met Shirou huh ... I forgot about this part XD Somehow they went from being angry he stole their object of worship, Rin's sword, to Tatsuma becoming quite friendly with him huh? My only complaint is SO MANY FLASHBACKS D; Also I think the ED song is growing on me lol :P

Too bad we didn't get the whole story this episode.

It's a rare thing to see a case such as this anime: you either love the adaptation(manga readers) or hate it(anime-only watchers). It's rare not becase of how polarized the crowd is, but because of the reason behind the polarization. It's really rare to see a completely faithful adaptation, especially to a slow-paced story such as AnE.

Nice to see a strong conection between the Suguros and Fujimoto & the Okumuras. Talkin about the Suguros I'm really hoping nothing serious happen to Tatsuma, I like him a lot.

I don’t want a redemption to Mamushi in the sense that she goes all this ordeal unpunished heck if someone bite the dust because of her naive actions I want her to do the noble thing and sacrifice herself for her atonement.

How many times do they have to show those flashbacks of Rin pulling that sword and blue flames erupting, and him kneeling down before the council, and him being dragged away by that white armor dude or any fucking scene from the ending of season 1? I've seen them plenty goddammit.

Ha I knew baldy's on to something big. I'm still confused though, I don't see the connection. Maybe in the next episode.

old pervs seem to be the sneaky quick people. also yup rin may be a hot head but yukio has a stick up his butt. ha at shiemi getting asked the shipping question which makes sense since she said rin this and rin that. what a twist they were all connected.

In the last episode, I commented about the lack of reaction when Rin flared up and exposed himself as the son of Satan. Good that they took it seriously and he actually received consequences for it although I still think there was barely any reaction from the people. Shura was the one who asked Rin to be jailed after all.

I do think it's a bit too late now to start worrying about it considering that Rin and Shura have been training in the open to control Rin's blue flames lmaooo.

Alright, that bald priest is up to something. Lets see in the next episode.

Great, we finally see yukio again. I feel like it's been ages since he was important in the series.

It's a little sad that fujiwara keiji isn't voicing fujimoto anymore but whatever. He's still great and it was unexpected but awesome seeing him in this flashback. I'm really curious to how this letter plays out

Ew. A thing happened. There have been secrets kept within secrets for the last 150 years. Once the eyes are reunited. Only one knows all the secrets. He has other plans. In a wooden cell. Don’t be so glib. The type that gets turned. She is brave. It’s cursive. He must tend the sacred flame. It is extinguished. 5
