I have no idea why Mephisto decided to build a theme part all for himself, nor why his brother wrecked everything in this episode. However, this episode still was really enjoyable. This indeed was no filler episode and some major stuff happened here.
The most baffling of which was the identity of the mysterious hooded “guy”, of whom I can now understand why “he” remained in the background all this time. It’s… completely out there, but I like how in this episode she was used to show how flawed Rin is by saving him. This once was a great episode to develop both Rin and Shiemi, and that’s actually starting to pay off quite well now. The chemistry between the cast is just getting better and better and this episode was no exception. Yes, most of the main characters in this show are simple and often just morons, but this series did succeed in making them likable morons.
Shiemi also really found her place in this series. She is a damsel in distress, but unlike many of her counterparts she isn’t useless: the creators actually find enough for her to actually do well and excel at in her own way, instead of forcing her to stand in Rin’s shadow as some sort of romantic bounty she actually has enough to do on her own.
Rating: ** (Excellent)
I ran to this site to point out something about eyebrows.
Am I the only one who noticed that the demon guy has the same eyebrows as the eyebrow girl?
Strange, I’m actually starting to like Shiemi
lol anyone else notice that the new gal has pretty realistic boobs?
Not the standard ‘anime’ balls for breasts.
gf pointed this out to me lol.
