When I noted that episode 3 of was a dip in quality over its reasonably strong opening episodes, I was hoping that kind of dip in quality was an aberration, one of the occasional hiccups than even the best anime of a season might produce a few times in its run. While Twin Star Exorcists is by no means the best anime this season has to offer, it's been entertaining and charming enough so far.

Rokuro Enmadou is opposed to becoming an exorcist, even though he has the talent to be one, but an oracle gives him the title of 'Twin Star Exorcist,' the name bestowed upon married exorcists. Benio Adashino, the girl who receives the title along with Rokuro, is determined to exorcise all the Kegare, or Impurities, in the world.

This week though, the quality dropped enough to leave me worried. I'll start by saying that this episode worked insofar as it fleshed out the conflict a little more and gave more shape to the Exorcists as an organization.

We met the too-cool-for-school Shimon Ikaruga, who belongs to the prestigious order of the Twelve Guardians, despite only being sixteen. Not only do we get a glimpse into the hierarchy of power the Twelve Guardians represent, but Tsuchimikado also revealed that the city Benio and Rokuro inhabit is experiencing an abnormally high amount of Kegare attacks. This information combined with the blink-and-you'll-miss it shot of an evil-looking character is starting to give this show's long term plot a little definition, which it sorely needs at the moment. This was all good to know, and Shimon seems to be an exorcist who isn't completely useless at his job, which is a refreshing change of pace. Outside of the above though, this episode was a pretty meager affair. Neither the action nor the comedy worked very well this week.
