At first they didn't show scenes of previous episodes, but they automatically just added that in later on without warning, like the extra scenes after the credits that are crucial to the storyline that just appear half-way through the anime without an iota of foretelling. A little forewarning would have been pleasent.
Also, the anime went by too quickly. Everything just happened one-after-another without very little explanation. This became more and more obvious towards the end until it became cliche. Yukio (Rin's twin) wanted to learn about his family history, and all of a sudden, WHAM! His grandfather appears and tells him all about it. Also, Rin was defeated horribly in the first battle against the earth king, not too long afterwords was able to defete him, but barely, and then not too long after that was able to creme him easily, with little to no training in-between. And lastly, he seems to be able to have the power to control his flames as soon as he lights two separate candles. It is as if this anime should span on for longer, but didn't have the budget to do so.
- why was Yukio's skin turning darker as he got his powers? It did not do so with Rin.
- What is the cause of the hatred between demons and exorcists? Is it simply a form of bias because the demons are known to be "troublemakers?"
- If Satan wanted a perfect vessel outside of Gehenna, and this was his plan all along, why did he try to drag Rin into Gehenna in the second episode?
Other than the glaring issues, this anime had a very good, captivating storyline, which made me think twice before thinking of the demons as bad guys. It also helps that the main character (Rin) is hot as hell (no pun intended). This anime should have been much longer, but did OK with the short amount of time it had. It captivated me, and the animation was good, but due to it's flaws the most I can give it is a 6.5 out of 10.
