Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen

Ao no Exorcist is one of those shows with an interesting plot, but it goes downhill as the series progresses.

I used to believe that an adaptation that follows the source is better than an adaptation that just goes anime original. Well, Ao no Exorcist proved me wrong.

The story in kyoto saga is much much better than Blue exorcist released in 2011. one one one combats are good, and the use indian instruments and Indian Fire relating terma like AGNI, OM (Indian God SHIV), SAMADHI (related to burn something to ashes) all of these were not just made up but very true and real. I'm glad i got to watch it

Before I review this, I need to explain something that will make you understand the show a bit better. Ever single episode from episode 16 onwards was all filler. So around the time when Rin's friends found out he was the son of satin, every episode from thwt point on was filler. This wss because the animation studio caughr up with thw manga and had to make an original ending. So, 6 yeara later, we finally have a true ending to season one. Because of this, certain characters seem to acr differently to Rin being a demon than the 2011 anime series. Personally, I really likes this seriea. Not only did they improve on the animation and story telling, but the male voice acting was dar better than the original series. I won't spoil anything, but pleasw watch season one up to episode 16, then watch this series. It will make so much sense.

No clue why this is rated lower than the first season-- it is a bit of a perspective shift to start at an earlier point than where the first season ended, but the writing is so much better! I though the climax of the first season was rushed and not giving a lot of the cast what they deserved (still fun though). This season fleshes out so much more of the cast, and really dwells upon the BIGGEST conflict of the series-- how Rin's friends feel about him being the son of Satan! I felt this was too brushed over in season 1, too, but this season really gets into drawing out the tension, and ultimately creates a more believable conflict for the characters to grow through.

I rated season 1 at 8 stars. ;)

After watching the previous blue excorcist series, im not feeling this one sadly.
