「疑心暗鬼」 (Gishinanji)
"Suspicion Will Raise Bogies"

It may have taken three weeks but I finally felt like I watched a true Ao no Exorcist episode.

「呉越同舟」 (Goetsu Doushuu)
"Strange Bedfellows"

Am I the only person who still can't remember most from the first season? Then again, I think the most important thing is that I remember who Shiro was since he was the best badass.

「魔神の落胤」 (Satan no Ko)
"Satan's Children"

It’s pretty easy to see what cards everyone is holding as we get set for next week’s anime-only finale of Ao no Exorcist, but there’s still a wild card – or perhaps it’s a joker - that’s yet to be played. And I suspect that as he goes, so goes the battle.

「真実」 (Shinjitsu)
"Truth"

Whatever else you might care to say about A-1 Pictures’ anime-original ending for this season, let this be clear – they’re definitely going big.

「悪魔狩り」 (Akuma-Gari)
"Demon Hunt"

There’s a definite sense of irony to what’s happening on Ao no Exorcist as we enter the final stretch. After all the debate about anime-original material, it looks as if the series would have been better off diverting from the manga sooner.

「秘密の花園」 (Himitsu no Hanazono)
"Secret Garden"

Take a good studio, add a good director, throw in some good characters and an ongoing manga and what do you get? From the looks of things, the potential for a very good anime-original ending that just might satisfy some very nervous fans.
