Dusky watching episode 9-12

Yes, I have indeed not watched this since episode 8. Well, actually I did see 9 already but I haven’t written a rant about it. So, let’s do this, so I can rest in pieces until the next chapter!

Episode 9

Not even childhood makes Yukio tolerable.

Todo is ruining Victor’s voice for me.

I’m trying really hard to feel sorry for Yukio. I do. But the fact that he blames everything on the one person who knew NOTHING about what he’s been doing just makes it impossible for me. Sorry not sorry!

“Yukio is salty” is kind of a redundant statement at this point.

Awww, there comes out precious baby Satan. You go, Rin!

Could the Impure King please just take a dump on both Todo and Yukio? God...

Cue the intro!

Todo has a point in that Yukio avoids self-reflection. Otherwise he would have noticed what a massive dick he is towards his brother.

On the other hand, he spends waaay too much time thinking about every little shit his brother does. Get a hobby, Yukio!

Please don’t start counter-monologuing now...

NIPPLES!

Yeah, yeah, can we please go back to the more interesting characters now?

Karura... is it too much asked for you to show a little more concern?

Aaand there’s another kid who really needs to chill.

Dammit Rin, quit acting like a stereotypical Shounen protagonist!

Am I the only one who’s dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the animation?

You did well, Princess Suguro!

Dammit, Mephisto! Keep your comments to yourself if you are not going to lift a single finger!

Well, Yukio, maybe if you tried to show off a little less and summoned fewer demons, this would have worked out...

Burn the bitch!

Twin telepathy!

Shima, this is not the time for having a flashback!

Ah, my poor kitten son. Somebody give him a hug.

Hey, Shima! Don’t leave him alone, you asshat!!!

I can’t decide whether I like him better with dark hair or not. The pink is more unique. (PFFT, well, he did say he dyed it because the girls like it...)

I love how Shima always gets put in the front. lol

OMG THE FOX BABIES ARE STILL THE CUTEST THING EVER!!!

Yeah, I’d be annoyed, too.

Well, I’ve seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

Stop being Tsundere and let Blondie McTits save you!

OH NO! The tiny foxes!

I don’t understand why it was so hard to summon Nee. They seem to be rather happy to be around.

Nyoa! Pfft! The cabbage eyes!

Oh, dramatic music!

Aaand the white stuff is everywhere! Eww.

Oh, yeah, we were about to get crispy Yukio earlier...

DRAMATIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES! Choirs make everything 10 times more epic.

K’rik to the head!

Juzou is here to steal the show! Roll credits!

Episode 10

And this week: Shit is still going down!

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the fact that the Impure King is indeed drawn and not CGI as I originally feared. It still looks kinda goofy.

No comments from the peanut gallery, Mephisto! (jk he needs more screen time)

Is this a Game of Thrones episode?

Boobie jiggling!

How does she know that’s its true form anyway?

Kinzou, shut up!

Is this a fight fire with fire thing?

In a Shounen anime, everyone comes up with their attack names as they go...

Hey, how about you guys in the back... idk... HELP HIM?!

Todo has a point. Again.

First dude dies!

Okay, but that flying chicken head is really ridiculous.

Draw Todo like one of your French girls.

PFFFFFFFFFFFT OMG that fireball is DBZ level ridiculous!

Aaand of course that attack is also named.

THE CHICKEN IS EXPLODING!!! AHAHAHAHAH! OMG! This is something straight out of Skyrim modding. “Can you kill it with explosive chickens?“

Well done, four-eyes! Too bad you aren’t cool.

You guys are taking too long...

HOLY FUCK, Todo is just creepy.

Shura is moving out. Hell yeah!

I feel you, Renzou... I want her to smother me with her rack, too.

Ninja Shura! ... oh, wait.

Meanwhile, Izumo still needs saving.

Do something useful, Karura!

What are those teats anyway? Is the Impure King an Impure Queen after all?

Hey, 15 minutes is pretty generous. That’s like 3 seasons of DBZ!

Oh no! Kuro!

Not sure why he can’t draw the sword right now but either way Yukio is probably part of the problem. And Rin’s lack of shoes.

This situation is too heavy. Time for some comedy!

Awww, Rin is too precious for this world.

Bon is laughing. Which is not as apocalyptic of an omen as, say, Yukio laughing... but things are still pretty bad.

HE DREW THE SWORD! Everyone stop whatever you doing!

Episode 11

Friendly reminder that the Impure King looks really ridiculous.

“Hey Okumura! The white stuff is getting into my face!“

Yeah, you drew it. Now do something useful!

TITS!

Shura is so pretty. =w=

The close ups are good but they really cut corners everywhere else in the animation. *sigh*

... Okay, I’m gonna say it, those things attacking Rin look like penises.

Oh no! Princess Suguro! You had one job, man.

Shine bright like a diamond...

I love every second of Mephisto’s screen time but I want to choke him for being a lazy asshole.

And there he goes quoting Nietzsche while Rin is dodging giant demon dicks and Yukio is trying to avoid surprise buttsex from Todo.

You are not his type, Todo! Take a hint!

K’rik to the head!

Okay, time to move the plot elsewhere.

Mephisto is having the time of his life.

Ucchusma has enough of your human bullshit and is here to get shit done. Also, he’s been waiting hundreds of years for his balls to drop.

Se interrupt this episode of Ao no Exorcist to give you... Shaman King!

Rin... you should have learned by now that hell chicken don’t give a single fuck ever.

Elsewhere, Nee still has the cutest butt ever. Look at that tail!!!

Shiemi to the rescue!

Damn, this scene is kinda hot. Forget the guys, Shiemizumo is the shit!

Hey! Don’t ignite other shipping feels over there! We just had a moment here!

Everyone calm your tits!

AAAHHHHH! The mediocrity of the animation makes me cry whenever they show Mephisto. It’s not as bad as the jail scene but eeehhhh.... why?!?! He could have been beautiful!

Did... he just switch legs? He totally just switched legs just now.

Title drop! ROLL THE FUCKING CREDITS!!!!

God, that LAUGH! I love it!

OMG did you see the way the ears shrunk when he sheathed the sword? Somebody gif this!!!

Bon probably thinks “Shit, now I have to show him Kyoto Tower after all...“

AAAHHH THE FACE!!!

YES! PRAISE HIM! PRAISE THE PRECIOUS RINNAMON ROLL!

They are making up!! I CAN’T!!!!

*snort* Here comes the head rub!

“Oh, hey, Yukio! While you were busy fighting Todo, I drew my blade!”

"Who let him out of his cell?” Dude!

They sentenced him to death already. There isn’t anything worse they can do to him. What the fuck are you mad about? Seriously, calm down and fuck off!

... he punched him hard enough for Rin to spit blood?!? That’s the most serious injury he got in this fight! DUDE!

Oh, NOW he’s all “Nii-san!“? FUCK YOU!!!!

Not sure if bad or excellent parenting...

Episode 12

Here comes the clean up crew. If only the people who fought the Impure King all night had been this well equipped....

What is that kangaroo dragon thing?

You jerks had helicopters all along?

I love how Torako always gives the impression that she’s about to make a gentle gesture when she’s really about to blow up in your face.

Aww, poor Mamushi!

Nooo, don’t cry!!!

Pffft, Kuro!

Here comes the ship-tease!

BFF-ED! God, Shiemi, that was savage... *cackles*

Shima, you dick!

THE THING! THE SCENE IS HAPPENING! (Well, I already watched it twice but eh!)

The mediocre animation... oh, the pain!

Mephisto... y u lyin’?

Shura is so pretty!!!!

Am I the only one who always wondered about Mephisto just randomly starting to drink in the middle of day? Is this a Japanese thing?

They really had to zoom in on her... well, that is where her pussy is, no way to sweet it. Creepy animation guys...

At least we got the heart socks.

Sorry, our animation cannot do the hotness of this scene any justice. Have some tits to put you off!

Excuse Mephisto while he’s having a boner and being a dick.

gdi how can a woman be so beautiful!

Yukio needs to chill!

OMG Koneko’s parents were so cute!!! Look at his mom! She was a total cutie pie!

Making my way downtown, walking fast... walking back. WHAT!

What is Koneko WEARING?!

”We porked so now we have to get married!” What century are you from, Juzou?!

Dad Hojo’s reaction oh god! xD

Looks like everyone has their priorities together.

WHAT ARE THOSE SNAKES?!?!?! Uwabami what?

I’m so happy for Uwabami but I can’t stop laughing!!!!!

FIELD TRIP TIME!

And now they are going to milk the joke. Ahhh, poor Rin!

Is that... a carpet floor on the top of Kyoto tower. WHAT?!

Everyone is friends again! I’m happy!

Aaand they are showing it by being dicks. Huehehe. How did they rope Salty-o into this, tho?

Oh, so because they did that Kraken arc in the first season they move up the conversation between Rin and Yukio to now? Does that mean they are not doing the canon Kraken arc? SUUUCKS!

Don’t think too highly of yourself, Yukio! You did jack shit to ��force him into using Satan’s power“! If anything, you were part of the reason he was insecure about using it!

... this ending was shoehorned and awkward. I’m disappointed. But overall the last couple of episodes were okay. Now we wait for the next chapter.
