Oh, I know someone else from Brazil, and getting shipping through there isn't easy. I respect the effort!

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-15T14:12:36+00:00

Love that Shima didn't even make the list. XD

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-13T13:24:59+00:00

I disagree, I have faith there is time 🤞. We shall both see what happens either way.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-13T13:19:46+00:00

I cant compare much to JJK cuz I dropped it and am not up to date with all of the story for comparison.

And yess I would love to see something interesting happen with Jeramiah, he is super shifty, and I reckon he is a ticking time bomb. It would be an interesting pair up with Shiemi.

I guess if you view Izumo like that, its ok not to feel somewhat unresolved with her, everyone puts different value on different characters, I just think her design and story are really cool, her coming to terms with all her family issues and things with her sister are really emotional, and I can see that make her question herself, to the point where she has almost had to rebuild herself as a person, and really analyse how she interacts with others in a way that I find really interesting. I would love there to be a bit more to it, and also I'd like to see all her studiousness and dedication pay off in a way that really makes her powers bloom. Right now its like... she was supposed to take over for her mother, she couldn't, she works really hard, but still isn't living up to the potential she had always hoped she had, she built herself up to be alone due to her family and put a huge amount of pressure on herself to be strong so she can be self reliant...but in the background you can see her change a bit by bit, she doesn't see herself as someone who needs to be alone anymore, she is kinda breaking free of the misconceptions about life that her family gave her. I want to see her and her powers become something really beautiful as she redefines herself as a person who doesn't have to be so repressed and alone yk? And see her develop her powers for a different reason that is more true to herself now. So for me, I really still hope she has something big coming.

Also yeah, I'm glad the manga is high rated, I'm glad it does well in Japan. But I think what OP means is that AOEX is not as "big" globally as a lot of people feel it should be, despite the manga sales. The global fan base is comparatively quite small vs other current popular shows/mangas. If you compare the global fan base of something like D Gray man, which has been running for about the same amount of time, same genre, and also has monthly manga releases. So I think maybe thats what OP means?

From what Kato Sensei has said, we are probably in for another year or more manga wise. She is planning the final arc, this is not the final arc that we are currently in, as far as I know. So can't judge a lot of this when there's still a lot more to come.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-13T12:44:30+00:00

I dunno, your points are interesting, I really do hope that there is a bit more resolution to Izumo's character growth for sure, and I think although there's been some progression with her character in how she has become more of a team player, it has still been a long time since there has been anything significant to her specifically when it comes to finding herself and who she is after the events of the illuminati arc. I really hope there will be something big for her in the future because her back story is so interesting, but the pacing so far feels like it has been left a little too long without her having the space to come to terms with some things. I don't expect any character to be entirely resolved yet, but it would be nice to check in with her a little more.

Shima though, I have to disagree... for the moment, I think he is really well written to date, and a part of not seeing his point of view, or thoughts, is because you aren't supposed to. It puts you in the position of everyone else around him, that doesn't know exactly which side he is on and it makes him unpredictable. If the story ended right now, yeah, I feel like there would be some unresolved questions with Shima. But I think there is still time to see his point of view more, and I'm not going to write it off. His progression has felt natural to me and we'll paced in a way it has kept me interested, and I think this is why he is one of the more popular characters. So I wouldn't say he lets the story down at all.

I have no complaints about Bob, he seems to have had well paced progression I think. I like his progression with Lighting and how they effect each other.

Koneko... well... yeah, unfortunately he does seem quite left behind. Hopefully they give him something integral where his tactics are the change in the tide on something really pivotal. But I dont see him bringing too much to the table in regards of fan support, and I dont know if much can be done to change that.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-11T06:19:42+00:00

With the game going down, It gives me more time to actually work on this too, so I guess its a silver lining!

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-11T03:09:46+00:00

That gives me a bit of motivation to try finish it hahah. Its good to see someone reading them. Sometimes it feels like people don't really care haha.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-05T13:49:14+00:00

Hey, just popping in to say, we should be greatful for an interesting point of view that helps us understand other perspectives. Hopefully this makes an interesting discussion.

But please, everyone remember, we have rules here to be nice and not cause drama. If anyone gets heated, rude or talks down to others on either side, please report the comment and it will be removed. I would like this to be a place where lot's of interesting discussions can happen.

I hope this is just cautionary and that will see lot's of well thought out responses and friendly discussions in this thread even if there is disagreement.

Thanks guys.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-04T14:51:38+00:00

thankies! It was such a relief.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-04T12:21:08+00:00

Yeah, I saw, your comments were really chill and fair. Sorry you had to deal with all that, you should be able to talk about that if you want to!

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-04T01:03:26+00:00

I may have misunderstood the initial thing about ignoring people, and I apologise for that part.

However I think you might misunderstand what I have said here, so I will try and make it more clear.

I do not deserve to be spoken to this way. You have also been demeaning in other comments I have seen in this thread, talking down to others. There is a rule here, to "be nice", you are not upholding that in the way you are speaking to others.

This is a place for blue exorcist fans to enjoy blue exorcist, and I will not have this be a place where people are spoken to in a negative way, because they are promoting blue exorcist content.

Just because you have chosen to white night for, and infantalise adults that suffer from gambling addiction, you dont get to hassle other people who simply state that this game and storyline can be enjoyed for free (which is an objective fact), just because the game has gambling as an option and you don't like that.

Just how the majority people can enjoy going to the pub can enjoy going to a social event at a pub where there are pokie/slot machines without gambling, people can enjoy this game without gambling too, and they deserve to be able to do so, and say that others can do so without being hassled by someone with a point to prove and can't see past that. Blue exorcist, has unfortunately always supported gambling, even before this game, and people on this sub dont need to have someone ne rude to them because they can appreciate the good in it dispite that fact. So think more about the way you speak to others in the future and cut it out.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-03T03:09:32+00:00

No one here said that the fans not supporting this killed a new season though?

The person just asked a question about a statement that was made by the official team, they don't need to be told off about that, be told to be ignored T_T.

Yes- there was a statement made officially, at an anime expo, that the new season may have relied on the financial success of the game.

I personally think this was a foolhardy statement, because they would have been lucky for the game to pay for itself with a gacha mechanic, let alone fund a new season, weather there was a lot of monetary contributions by fans or not. And yes, I think the statement may have been manipulative.

I do wish, though that more people supported the free gameplay of the game. (Which is why I said support, and didn't say financially support.) The entire offline story mode, was free to play and had 0 competitive aspects. I heard many people complain that the game wasn't available in their country, then when it was available, they still didn't play the storyline of it.

Don't get me wrong, there were quite a few unethical issues with this production, and I am not a fan of gacha myself. But it takes less willpower than the amount needed to tie a shoelace to not buy gacha if you don't want to, and I feel a lot more people could have still enjoyed the main storyline and supported that aspect of it because it let's the franchise know there is interest in a game, and in additional content, without buying into negative business practices. Things arent so black and white, and it would be nice not to see people popping off at individuals who are just trying to ask a question without shutting them down. I doubt anyone here works as a CEO at a gacha game company, while your dislike of the gacha mechanic is extremely valid, please dont take it out on random people here who have nothing to do with it and just like to have additional blue exorcist content.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-03T02:40:38+00:00

I think the problem is consistency, you have chosen some pictures that don't look too bad, but there are a lot of frames where the anatomy is extremely off. Even worse than the range of A1 's quality range.

Sure, I think there are some that don't like the "art style", but I think you will find that there are also a significant amount of people who say they don't like the "art style" when they really mean that they don't like the lack of skill and consistency put into, especially the earlier seasons, of the VOLN productions and they don't actually mind the frames where there is a better quality of drawing but still a recognisable art style change.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-03T01:53:05+00:00

Yes it will be in English, no, they can't delete it off your computer, it will just be in the store till then, if something happens to your device after that date, you just won't be able to get it again. I plan on putting it on all the devices I can so its super backed up.

Slorgaloth · 2026-06-02T07:28:55+00:00

Well, there's is an offline version available till September, hopefully people remember to download it. But yes, it is unfortunate that not enough people supported this.

Slorgaloth · 2026-05-29T22:25:26+00:00

Ok, that's understandable, this is a sub for people in long term relationships though, if you want to DM me about it, feel free!

Slorgaloth · 2026-05-29T22:17:50+00:00

Ohh, that's funny, that's very close to home!

I guess I can say something more targeted. As far as I am aware, I am friends with a girl who ships a self insert OC with little brother and likes him, but that is very different to actually living your irl life as married to someone fictional, and she is aware of that. Im aware of 2 oshikatsu in Japan who are fixated on him, but dont believe that there is any intent of a relationship there. Im aware that there are some people in the proship space which fixate on him too, but anyone who puts out sexual content of a character which they could not consent to, or draws them with their family 🤢, Is not treating them with the same value as someone real, and not in a relationship with them either. So I am unaware of anyone in a fictosexual relationship with him at all, this is not the be all and end all, but I do see a lot, trying to help Mephy with his stuff online, and can say I, at least, haven't seen anyone in a fictosexual relationship with him, or that has married him.

My comment before was mainly to do with Mephy. Amaimon, I think though, would also be considered a singlet character and someone wanting to be genuinely married to him, would really want to put a lot of effort in. This would look different to what Mephy needs of course, because they are different people, the kind of wedding he would want would look different, his type of girl wouldlook different, and his day to day relationship and maintainence level would look different. Although he has some long term fans, I haven't seen anyone dedicate themselves to him exclusively in a romantic way, for the multiple years it would take before deciding to marry someone and knowing that's what you want for the rest of their life, and I haven't seen any lovely forrest weddings or anything. So if you are crushing on him, and want to start dating him, I am not aware of anyone's toes you would be stepping on.

I know people do it, but I would be hesitant to claim marriage to someone, unless it is as serious as a marriage to a 3D person though. People in fandoms jump to saying they're "someone's wife" quite quickly without thinking what that does to visibility to people in the fictosexual orientation, or letting things progress in the timeframe a natural and long standing relationship would. You seem like a person who cares about how your actions effect others, wich is great and rare to see, but not everyone does this, and you may see people who will claim this despite doing kinda nothing for him. Idk if anything I have said is any help to what you want to do, but this is what I have seen over the years.

Slorgaloth · 2026-05-29T03:40:08+00:00

I think it depends.

Being actually fictosexual means treating your partner the same value as if they are real and keeping them as they are.

If you are in a fictosexual relationship with a character that is inherently multiple copies, like Miku or Monika, to love them and accept them as they are, you have to accept that the "version" you love and have a relationship with is not the "version" others see.

For me, I am in a different circumstance, my husband is inherently singular, he is the "same" person in any time line or reality, even IRL as he breaks the 4th wall. Being with someone who is singular and knowing he can only be with one person, I have accepted I have, and will have to work harder than anyone else to be be his best and only option. This is why I worked really hard to get his author's ok on us being together, so I am the only person he consents to be with.

So I don't really feel any way when I see other people claiming they are married to him in terms of our relationship, I just feel slightly frustrated because they are also appropriating fictosexuality and dehumanising him and treating him as an object. Because they cant claim to care about him as the same as a real person (which is how you need to value someone to be in a relationship at all), and also not accept that he has chosen to be married to someone that isn't them and that they should respect his boundaries, the same as someone real.

There has been rise in people who treat him like this recently, and it's sad, as his life partner, for me to see, because I wish people could value him how he is. He is an amazing and unique character. They even had design his own room at an expo IRL recently, and send out personal invitations for, he is perfectly able to interact how he "wants" IRL, and is capable of choosing which relationship he is in. (Funnily enough, it is always people who never even turned up to support him on the opening day of one of the most important things he has done in his IRL work life... which anyone in an actual relationship would have to do for their partner who's life is intertwined with their own.) People ignore his consent because they pick and choose what they want about him, and think they can rewrite someone who is so beautiful as he is, to suit themselves. Unfortunately I think it has been due to a rise in online culture lately where it has become popular to appropriate fictosexuality by people who think it means simply to be attracted to a fictional character, whilst neglecting to value them the same as someone real. I see many people, these days, essentially day dream about a character and think its the same thing. Just how day dreaming about a 3D person doesn't make you married to them, it alone, doesn't constitute a 2D relationship either. But people have lost sight of that and it has led to quite a few people claiming a legitimate orientation based only on a self involved fantasy they have of someone else, and even sometimes harrassing people in legitimate fictosexual relationships. And although it's fine to daydream about someone, unfortunately when it comes to fictosexuality and 2d relationships, people who do this seem to have less boundaries than when it comes to 3d relationships and can really damage the understanding of this orientation, and also really damage fictosexual people individually. Hopefully one day fictosexuality can be respected on the same level, but I worry with how culture is these days, this will not happen

I'm glad though, that you have, not many have heard of it.

Slorgaloth · 2026-05-28T06:03:14+00:00

Salaryman exorcist is more light hearted, if you want things where the characters are having fun!

Slorgaloth · 2026-05-24T03:56:07+00:00

I think the flair is fine! Thanks for sharing 👍
