I'm so glad we're getting to see the flashback arc in full and getting to see Shiro and Yuri's story told properly in animation.

It's also neat seeing how much their youth would inform Rin and Yukio.

spoiler[I'm guessing Daisuke Namikawa is going to voice Satan once Hiroaki Hirata takes back over adult Shiro.]

though to be honest, this here is an instance where an anime original version of a series is better than the manga!

though there are other examples from other examples as well! claymore and soul eater are also prime examples!

Yuri is one of the sweetest characters around and I'm loving this season. Not only is she lovely, but has more moles on her face than any other anime character I could think of and they make her even more of a standout character.

You are using two of the worst examples for anime original content...as positive examples? Huh??

On the other hand, it's great to see a Golem monster; I can't recall seeing one in anime since Somali and the Forest Spirit.

The number of shows you have watched must be somewhat limited then. Golems appear fairly frequently in shows where magic or alchemy exists.

For example, there are at least three other shows in just this current season where a golem has appeared so far:

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!
I May Be a Guild Receptionist
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World

Poor Rin getting subjected to his parents' awkward love story as well as watching his dad have sex with a bunch of random woman.

Yuri is such a refreshing and endearing person. Between her compassion, empathy, and pure heart and Shiro's surliness and zest for life, you can see why the Okumura Siblings ended up the way they did.

Of course, there's still the Satan of it all...
