Season 2 just picks up from where we left off and ignores the rest of this to get back to manga canon. wow. i never knew. i just thought it was the last few episodes. when this was coming out, I had a college friend who was really pissed at the anime and kept telling us all to read the manga instead (that same friend has a book out now: "Rise": by Freya Finch (pseudonym)) 2 Quote

DangerMouse Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) 8 minutes ago, ben0119 said: https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/blue-exorcist/gamble Anime Filler List puts 16 and 17 as mixed canon/filler. The filler here must really throw things off and isn't just extended battles and whatnot then. 😄 Exactly. Apparently there were a couple of things in the last battle introduced to kick off the anime only second half (the next arc was still ongoing at the time when the anime got here), like Rin's sword getting damaged. They are all ignored and we jump back to the break point for Season 2. Including more varied reactions from Rin's teammates. Edited March 2 by DangerMouse 1 Quote
ben0119 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 So all the religions are canon in this universe? Buddha vs Satan? No, is this a demon in disguise? Quote

CorbeauKarasu Posted March 2 Posted March 2 they really gotta stand there and watch her do that? it could take hours... 2 Quote
DangerMouse Posted March 2 Posted March 2 It also explains the huge shift in storyline for Yukio, Satan, etc. It was all anime-only. 1 Quote

Oh, the Satan story was totally ridiculous haha. Satan went from being a badass troll to a Twilight character! How the hell did these writers think trying to make SATAN sympathetic was a good idea?! 1 Quote

DangerMouse Posted March 2 Posted March 2 On 2/23/2025 at 3:35 AM, ben0119 said: I see what you're saying, but this wasn't an ongoing series, was it? It's a simple 25 episode single season. But man, I really hate that, when the anime is used as advertisement for the source material, with no intention of making more seasons. I'd really rather watch an anime than read a manga or light novel, so that really pisses me off. And long-ish breaks were rare back, then, eh? Yeah, if they wanted to continue it in some form or fashion, it shouldn't have started so soon after the manga did. Same, I'd rather watch an anime too. And this is where we leave off until Season 2. When you think about it we haven't even gotten to the backstories of the rest of the crew yet since it caught up so quickly. Or even the rest of Shura's backstory, really looking forward to seeing the rest of that since I've always loved her character. 1 Quote

The show was really just in the introductory set up phase and then diverged into a filler route. Very odd. Weird move to make an anime so soon and then not just end the season or do a standalone filler arc that wouldn't affect anything. 2 Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted Sunday at 06:03 AM Author Posted Sunday at 06:03 AM EPISODE 17: TEMPTATION SOME of this is Canon, but after this, it's a Season 1 descent into blue filler hell! 2 Quote
DangerMouse Posted Sunday at 06:09 AM Posted Sunday at 06:09 AM Yup, last bits of canon but I'll be watching the contradictory rest, but just remember none of this happens! Quote
ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:10 AM Posted Sunday at 06:10 AM King of Earth and he's dead just like that. So Mephisto just sacrificed his own brother? That dude is ice cold! LOL execution stayed for now. Well, there's a lot worse anime governments than this, like the Central 46. 😄 2 Quote
ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:11 AM Posted Sunday at 06:11 AM Why does the sword talk? Is it like one of the weapons from Soul Eater? Quote

ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:16 AM Posted Sunday at 06:16 AM Seems pretty clear those flames only hurt demons, or only the target of Rin's attacks. Hey now, just because your dad was bad, doesn't mean you have to be bad, even if he's Satan, right? Wow Bon you asshole. 1 Quote

ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:25 AM Posted Sunday at 06:25 AM Is that thing just launching a bunch of clay pigeons? Always thought it was silly those things were called clay pigeons haha.

ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:27 AM Posted Sunday at 06:27 AM Speaking of someone else who is prone to being possessed by Satan. It's almost like turning to the Dark Side. Exorcists commonly have demon heritage? That sure doesn't sound CANON. "It's not like I like you or anything, stupid!" 1 Quote

ben0119 Posted Sunday at 06:31 AM Posted Sunday at 06:31 AM It's kind of funny how this episode had a big climactic moment to an arc and then we settled into cool down, aftermath, and transition into the next arc. Usually you'd have the climax at the END of an episode and do the cool down, aftermath, and transition in the next episode. This show being a half-filler homonculus maybe caused this. Quote
