Well Deserved Praise

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I really liked this demon based anime, it's the first time I've ever seen twins as the main characters so it was really exciting that they got to work together in order to kick their biological fathers ass lol. I was sad though that their adoptive father was killed by Satan himself and been dragged into "the pit of hell". It was very interesting that the twin boys were different from each other. Rin is more like an arrogant inpatient dude who's always distracting himself whereas his twin brother Yukio is a focused individual who just wants to save the world and a pure gent! They are both badasses though don't get me wrong!I even wanna say kudos to all the English dub actors, they were phenomenal in doing their jobs well as their characters! I thought the anime was really entertaining and very well done, I'm giving it a 8/10!

Season 1 (2011): When an action anime meets Christianity this happens. It's a really unique idea and it has some good scenes and sequences. I thought it could have done better at times and some parts were pretty predictable, but that's to be expected seeing as all the characters are high school age.There's something for everyone to get out of it, however I wouldn't show it to someone who's never seen anime.

On paper, this show appears to be a number of clichés of the supernatural anime subgenre. Youths going to an exorcist academy to fight demons and the drama and hijinks that occur along the way. 9/10 times I find that type of anime to be very standard and underwhelming, but this series seemed to execute those cliche's in a manner that made this series surprisingly engaging.I have a family member who went through film school who has told me that you can have the most derived and clichéd story, but it still can be superb, it's all about the execution.Now this series was not even close to the stand out originality of series such as Cowboy Beebop, Attack on Titan, Trigun, and such but it stands on its own because of an engaging cast of characters, especially the two main characters. The twins. This series may not go into the depth of some of the above mentioned series but it has great themes of friendship, being an outcast, family and such. And I'm not much of a fan of the chibi thing, and it didn't at all get on my nerves or unnecessarily break from the drama as I've found in other shonen series with chibi.Overall, not one of the top animes out there but highly recommend watching for any anime fans out there.

Probably one of the best shows I have ever seen. I watched it because of recommendation from a friend. Finished the whole series after I watched every single episode in a row. Every question you could ask was answered. The only one I have is "what do I do now?" You become instantly attached to Rin and Yukio and every main character. The final episode is very fulfilling and does not leave you angry that the creators left something out. It only leaves you yearning for more. Blue Exorcist epitomizes everyone's desire for adventure, strength, and acceptance, and that's why people of every genre could enjoy Blue Exorcist. If you haven't seen a single episode, I recommend giving the first couple episodes a try. And once you start, you won't be able to stop. Go watch it! Right now!
