Virgin sensei’s pretty funny. His carefree attitude paired with his strength kinda reminds me of Gojo a little. Curious to see how he helps Soji grow as an exorcist. Kid apparently has a pretty powerful ability.

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 16:43

Pretty nice animation this episode, it surprised me a bit as this is just introduction. Anyway Synergy just stay on this level\^\^ and it will be nice.

I love that they are a bit playing with characters and jokes, it feels pretty nice and I hope this is a good sign as a care for this adaptation goes. Anyway like in manga it's just begining and Soji is such a fun MC( him pointing out stuff was amazing )\^\^

SternSupremacist2026-01-17 16:44

I just watched Fire Force man. Please give him more than rocket feet.

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 16:47

That's not how his flames work. Heard what he called it? It's a boost so no it is not just legs :D

SternSupremacist2026-01-17 17:00

Oh thank god

Boris-_-Badenov2026-01-17 22:28

he can pull a reverse Deku... *I can use my **hands***!

KumaKumaGambler2026-01-17 16:52

Now I know why Akari died in such a strange and violent manner, as seen in the first episode.. She was murdered, instead of passing away from the illness.

Boris-_-Badenov2026-01-17 22:28

it was the sweets.

that cake was to die for

skeleton_clique_1432026-01-20 21:33

the cake is a lie

AceSoldia2026-01-17 16:55

Very much typical shounen but I'm here for it.

actionfirst12026-01-18 10:47

Yeah, I'm enjoying it quite a bit, I think the idea of what's essentially mods being actual exorcists in the real world lol

Thomas_JCG2026-01-22 04:01

Everyone acts like new series have to be revolutionary. It's fine to have a simple meal made of familiar ingredients.

Muffin-zetta2026-01-17 17:12

The second they reveled that the hotel is a school I burst out laughing. Ooooh you beautiful uncreative fucks, never change. Like this and tougen anki from last season are so by the numbers it’s frankly comforting.

Fujisaki_Chihiro0012026-01-17 17:16

This is about what my bar is for the fight animation in shonen so that's good.

Story wise it seems pretty slow burn at the moment, I don't mind it personally but with all the behemoths returning this season and all the new contenders, the chance of people giving their attention span to this anime is definitely gonna be low.

The power system seems fun but it's probably because I'm very familiar with Japanese net slang, I don't know if someone who's unfamiliar with a word like "Enjo(flame bait)" and stuff would have a giggle like I did lol.

The ED is definitely made with TikTok in mind.

dfiekslafjks2026-01-17 17:23

MC is such a powerful Youtuber that blue cyber flames come out of his phone. This is so dumb I can't even believe what I'm seeing.

Appropriate-Bay-5762026-01-17 17:28

flamer/flamebaiter has power over flames, mod/rulestickler has a literal giant ban hammer. i mean talk bout yourself, these abilities seem fun so far

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 17:29

??? No that's not the reason. Again it was explained. Those powers are connected to person's personality. What Kasubata said was that Soji liked feeling of getting a rise of people and fighting randoms. That's why his power ended being flames because he likes to go wild. Soji is a pretty nice kid but he has a wild nature like you can see by him showing both faces since episode 1. Him being a youtuber has nothing to do with it. The reason why they are blue welll... look sub's rules :D

Fujisaki_Chihiro0012026-01-17 18:00

>Him being a youtuber has nothing to do with it.

While the person you replied to wasn't exactly right. It definitely has something to do with it tho? It's a joke about Japanese net slang, they literally called him "Enjo" type this entire episode and "Enjo" is a slang for "flame bait" or "rage bait" which is what our MC is.

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 18:07

Him being into this type of media is but not exactly him being a youtuber. It's how he acts. If he was writting stupid comments or reddit posts it would work as well. The rest of explonation is outside this episode\^\^ But our teacher did said that Exorcists used older methods before and that is a part of full picture. Because both ghosts and exorcists changed as times did. Soji like you could notice last episode had spiritual powers so if he was born like in 50s he would still be exorcist but his type of ability would be the old one.

Efreet02026-01-18 13:35

This is sadly the current gen idea of culture, then they have the balls to make fun of gen alpha.
The whole show is just a bad collection of stuff done in other shonen way better.

Appropriate-Bay-5762026-01-17 17:26

hmm hmm, thats better. wasnt feeling it too hard last episode, but if we get that animation level for the rest of the show im content.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-17 17:29

The blue flames being used in that way was a surprise, I thought it'd be explosive in a different sense. I wonder the previous Blue Flamer user was like considering how they all react.

Thomas_JCG2026-01-22 03:41

Definitely the villain now.

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-01-17 17:33

The exorcist school seems a borrowed concept from JJK and the lost little sister reminds me of Nezuko (Though dead, at least seemingly). We have the quirky fellow students and teachers naturally, though the emphasis is on goofiness rather than coolness and aura.

I hope we get more interesting "cyberkinetic" powers than just the typical battle anime punching and kicking aids. This series is super tropey as of now and I don't know how much potential it has to improve. I'm hoping we'll see something a bit more interesting and/or original soon. For now the best parts are the OP and ED...

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 17:43

So JJK borrowed it from Blue Exorcist??? Because that idea is old really old. And no it's not Nezuko's situation.

You have all names of main six characters abilities in opening( and a lot of them are shown ) :D And one is stupidly obvious, Hiyori's( the pink haired girl in both OP and ED she is pretty much a main star of ED ). And well that's what I knew would happen because of how beginning goes. I don't want to get in trouble but I can just say to wait.

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-01-17 17:53

Yeah, you are probably correct that the examples I mentioned weren't necessarily the sole or original inspirations, but I was heavily reminded of other (so far in my mind superior) anime every minute I watched these two episodes. I know battle anime often reuse familiar tropes and character archetypes, but I'm hoping we see this series provide a distinct original spin to them, if nothing else. Because it cannot really compete just with the quality of animation, where its obviously not up to the standard of the more series like JJK, Demon Slayer, or One Piece.

No spoilers though, please. I'll keep watching for now at least and see how it goes.

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 18:00

Yeah keep watching. I can say that Dead Account was my biggest surprise this year. Possitive one. I've spent 2 days reading it that's how much I got into it. And this anime was what I'm most hyped this season. Especially because anime for JJK will adopt arc that is well.... not my favourite and amazing animation won't change it. As animation goes it is on normal level and I'm fine with it. Especially because characters is where Dead Account shine the most\^\^

Karl1512026-01-17 17:50

Baby's first shounen anime was JJK and Demon Slayer lmaoo

Thomas_JCG2026-01-22 03:53

Ah yes, JJK, a series created in 2018, invented the school setting in shonen. It was unheard of before.

oxlemf102026-01-17 17:41

I was wondering if this show would lean more towards comedy after the first episode, but it's clear there's a lot of drama to come, especially since the MC's power appears to be destructive and dangerous if misused

FLorianGran2026-01-17 17:51

This show is making me appreciate Tougen Anki more, which is not a good sign

GelatinInvasion2026-01-17 18:33

I like it. We go from someone with a siscon to someone without a sis, but still obsessed with avenging sis. Also. Love the sensei. Haha very funny yes.

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-17 18:33

A Ryokan academy for exorcists was unexpected. It's freaking cool.

Kasubata sure knows how to get on Enishiro's nerves. The dude only apologises when he cuss every time lmao

Azaki-sensei is so much fun. All the students from the academy are quirky. Denmi is so cute. Why's she looking like a doll ? Is she just a spirit inhabiting a doll ? They better explain quick about why they freak out over the Blue flames of Enishiro.

So the story on Akari's death doesn't end and it's just the beginning. I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Hope they don't disappoint.

mekerpan2026-01-17 18:44

I like the vibe this show has been setting up. Not much of an expert on battle shounen, but I don't see the story as being all that routine (even if underlying mechanics might be standard). I like quirky action shows where the characters have attitudes that amuse me (even if low-key SoL dramas are my natural habitat).

W00S2026-01-17 18:34

I lowkey really like it so far even if it's not unique, plus the op is very nice to listen to.

testthrowawayzz2026-01-17 18:48

What if the ghost/thing that killed Akari was caused by karma from the rage bait videos?

JamesSomdet2026-01-17 19:12

An anime with mainly hot guys? An adorable struggling MC? Count me in!

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-17 20:04

Cute mascot too

HolyDragSwd25002026-01-17 20:06

Okumura…..Enishiro joins True…Miden Academy to avenge his sister

FarCritical2026-01-17 20:17

It's a simple thing but I can appreciate the small albeit constant displays of Enishiro's humility. I'm not gone of ragebaiters too but maybe that's what'll get everyone to warm up to him? (Other than his flames lol)

AntiTalkative2026-01-17 20:48

Am I the only one creeped out by that tiny girl with the chibi design? After seeing that giant bod with her face on it in the intro, I'm not a fan.

Ryuki-Exsul2026-01-17 20:56

Ok let's try it. Go to opening \[small spoiler Dead Account opening\] >!go to when Hiyori is being introduced, stop it there and read her ability. Now go to ending, go to where those shots are with characters to the point when Hiyori is with Kiyomi and look what happened on the right with that little girl. She stopped moving and collapsed\^\^ This little girl as well doesn't blink and has her mouth open and talks without moving it\^\^ Everything you need to guess what is going on is in OP to be honest. I'm not sure if that count as spoiler so I will just point it!<

"Here we go. "My sick sister." Such a convenient excuse. "Does playing that card get you out of anything?"

"If you needed money, there were other ways. Just admit it! You enjoyed it! You loved the attention! You couldn't resist it!"

I mean, Kasubata's not wrong in calling out Enishiro. He was using Akari as an excuse to be a flamebaiting content creator. He had other options to get money, but he decided to be a flamebaiter. He can use his sister as an excuse all he wants, but at the of the day, he did it because he enjoyed it, the attention, the money, and the thrill, he loved all of it.

Thomas_JCG2026-01-22 03:50

Hard disagree. First episode said he retired (after his sister died), so he wasn't just doing it for fun. Even if you think he was doing it as a stress reliever, it still only happened because of his situation. So just hand wave it as something he enjoyed makes no sense.

If he just needed a steady income, sure, he could work as a part-timer somewhere, but he needed a lot of money very quickly for the treatment, and there aren't many ways to get money overnight.

NationalStrategy2026-01-22 06:13

I’m not saying that he was doing it just for fun, obviously his sister and the medical bills was the main reason, but he definitely didn’t do it solely for that. When the views and revenue were racking up, he was enjoying it; for him, being a flamebaiter was a great way to get everyone talking about him while getting tons of money doing it.

Boris-_-Badenov2026-01-17 22:27

blue haired Shinro

Lunchb0xx872026-01-17 23:31

i like some aspects but this show feels like its trying to hard with the drama and clicking every shounen cliché box nothing is really setting it apart

informalunderformal2026-01-17 23:39

Tougen Anki, but with a better execution i guess.

Also, no one have OF account as source of power? Sad panda.

Next_Package_57102026-01-18 00:41

So basically he is the chosen one with the Snape professor the one saying he cant accept it...i hope theres an updated wiki for this because they introduced about 50 characters in the 2nd show...

dakkumauji2026-01-18 03:26

I thought Asaki was hilarious so if we get more Asaki, I would keep watching this. Though, I am enjoying the characters so far so maybe this will keep me going further than expected.

gem2niki2026-01-18 03:45

I really like the art style during the fight scenes. The facial expressions are so crisp.
Ryokan as a school. How comfy lol.

NoHead17152026-01-18 11:56

I'm enjoying the modern take on exorcism and all the net slang used. Putting the whole academy in a ryokan makes it fun. Also, I love it when MC immediately apologizes once he realizes his weakness. Such humility is a breath of fresh air from those standard angsty battle shounen MCs

Top-Remote45232026-01-18 13:18

I already like Asaki's character, I think I have a bias for smirky and laid-back mentor figures in Shounen.

He pulled a Gojo in this episode with his "you're too darn weak" line to Souji, just that it was meant as a taunt to a disciple rather than to an enemy.

My opinions have not changed from the last episode and I still do think that this series has the potential to develop into something unique that can stand on its own feet in this genre. I would like to see more of an emphasis on the psychological aspects and backstories of both digitalized ghosts and those that have to accept the passing of their loved ones.

athrun_12026-01-18 16:13

This is demon slayer with a touch of smartphone in another world.

TheLostCityofBermuda2026-01-19 01:48

A ragebaiter have a Flame power, and a Moderator have a Ban Hammer.

Now I kinda wanted to see what the other have in power, but we do know the Gamer girl is controlling a Mech.

SYZekrom2026-01-19 04:29

Ah, I wondered why she was bleeding from her eyes and that explains it.

MuffinMan123472026-01-20 12:02

Was questioning to watch this episode or not, half way through I figured I'd probably drop it. But by the end of the episode decided I'll stick around for a few more episodes and decide. Hope it manages to keep my attention.

IAmTheOldCrow2026-01-21 18:05

After 2 eps, can summarize as Blue Exorcist with smartphones. MC even has same voice actor in Nobuyuki Okamoto.

Thomas_JCG2026-01-22 03:38

Pretty basic episode to introduce the school setting and get the MC into the main plot, so there is not much to say. Banhammer boy didn't even apologize to Enishiro, though. Monk is great for comic relief.
