The characters didn't feel like the characters I've known and loved anymore, they all turned into idiots. Kiriya was one of those characters in Inoue's shows that's unrealistic as hell, because that show-off wouldn't have stood a chance in real life or against the characters before the team changed. What really angered me was how they were turning Todoroki into a useless dork and the whole thing about Zanki dying. Also, Ibuki was suddenly an airhead and Akira was sudddenly all about hate- a wish for revenge was NEVER EVER part of her character and felt sooo out of place for her. And then there's Asumu, suddenly asking Hibiki again if he could become an Oni- even though he said he actually didn't want to be one when he first asked Hibiki about it. Defuq? And their last talk totally ruined it for me. Hibiki shouldn't have said "You have always been my disciple"- this wasn't a student teacher relationship! Hibiki was supposed to be like a father for Asumu in the older episodes. He should've said something like "You'll always be like a son to me". Nargh ;_;

And that is why I always say to stop watching after episode 29.
