| Hm, so the season ends with a filler episode(?) Seeing Rin and Renzo together like that reminded me of Natsu and Grey lmao. Looks like the next season will focus on Yukio. I've already read some chapters of the manga back then, but didn't remember exactly how it went. Looking forward to the next season. |

| And once again this series is trying really hard to convey just how deep Yukio's character is, when in fact he's the most shallow out of them all. Not sure how far his jealousy for Rin would take him, but he's never going to be likeable.. NEVER EVER. Season was a mess, from a production point of view, and tbh even from storytelling. At the end of the day, Rin is the same as ever, Yukio as ever. So I'm not sure what we did with their characters over the course of these three seasons lol. I don't remember much of the first season, but I know I had the same kind of opinion about it as I've for this season. Hated the characters and still do lol. Hope we see an improvement in the next season.. really hoping. |
| Wow that was weak ending. I know it's just cour one, but shouldn't it end on something SLIGHTLY biggeer than random pool episode?? Eh some of the episodes were pretty good, especially the ones focused on Izumo. Sadly the animation is often just plain bad, everyone look cartoony compared to the first season, in a bad way obviously. Can't get into the story either. And you know what, I can't stand Yukio, and I just know he'll become even worse pain in the ass soon! 6/10 |

| Can't believe Shura actually made an appearance again, even if it was just very short in the last episode. I'll take it though, better than nothing. This season was by far the worst so far. Best girl got sidelined for half the episodes and even in the ones she appeared she didn't get a lot of screentime. The whole Shima drama was kinda dumb and we had that super annoying professor appearing way too often on screen. This was mid at best, 5/10. |
| Ahahah Yukio from the first season being insuferable against Rin because he a demon despite being the one lying to him for his whole life, and now he the one having cold sweet because he turn out to be demonic and against humanity just like him. |
| Shima, as horny as ever I see |
 |
| And that's the end of the winter special, had to wait many moons to get a dub that should've been there close to when the show was airing. But it's hard to go back on the audio track you're used to after so many seasons. It was pretty good, very shouneny. I'm intrigued about the younger brother now. Fall cours will be a hoot. |
| feel like this season was a bit over-hated, while it is a noticeable step down quality wise from the previous seasons, it was still good and worth watching! Excited for the next part! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Dude... What side is Shima on. I'm actually so confused rn. I don't know if I trust him. And what is going to happen to Yukio... This was a pretty chill episode to end this dark season, but I can get why some people might not like it. If you skip this episode, would you really miss anything? I guess the first half was kind of important but still Overall, I enjoyed this season. Way more than I thought I would. I was pretty certain I was going to hate this season, that's why I put it off for almost an entire year. I heard it was rushed, that the animation quality dropped, that it simply wasn't as good as the other seasons, but I still really enjoyed this! I mean come on, I watched the entire season in one day lol that doesn't happen too often I've realized. It grabbed my interest enough to make me binge the entire season in a day. That being said though, there are plenty of flaws here. First off, the animation quality and art. It can really look off at times. The animations look awful in some scenes, especially from episode 4 or 5 onwards. Background characters look terrible and stick out so much because they're CG. Sometimes half of the background characters are drawn while the other half are CG, and sometimes they even reuse them in the same scene, and it's just so... Ugh. The zombies were also CG which was pretty rough too. The different artstyle might be pretty offputting to some too, myself included. It's not all bad, but it can look pretty off at times. It felt pretty rushed at certain points too which didn't help. I think I'm going to give this season a 7. It's good, but definitely not an 8. This season had some problems that are hard to overlook, and yeah I can understand why a lot of people might have been disappointed with this season. I'm hoping the next season is better! Edit: Despite this season's shortcomings, I can say I enjoyed it more than season 2 lmao I hated that season |

| @JVskunkape Honestly yeah. Based on what I've read about this season I was pretty certain I would hate it and it would completely ruin the series for me, but nope, I enjoyed it! Is it flawed? Absolutely. It's a step down in quality, and it sucks Aniplex decided to rush this, but I binged the entire season in one day which doesn't happen very often I've noticed. I can safely say I enjoyed this more than the second season, that's for sure lol I really did not like the Kyoto arc. I'm really excited to see where this goes, and I'm hoping the next season improves on and fixes some of the problems this season had. |

| Yukio seems to be going down a dark path.. He wants to get stronger than Rin in order to protect him or what? |
| With the way their faces got animated, this was funnier than it should have been lol A shame the pacing for this season was so bad. Intrigued how they do the next one. |

| After a long long wait getting back into the story wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be even if I don't remember all of the previous events considering it's been 5 years since I watched the previous season. For me this season felt a bit too fast and simple, it did delve a lot into Izumo's story but other than that it was mostly just Gedoin being a nuisance. It was at least somewhat entertaining but not on par from what I can remember from the first 2 seasons. The conclusion of Izumo finally having to let go of her old persona after her losing her mother was really well done though. Also this whole thing with Shima being a double / triple / quadruple agent ... |
