Blue Exorcist

This series is very entertaining. There is a lot of action and interesting concepts. There are a lot of scenes and episodes that are really dumb, but I just find it funny. I know that a lot of people would get frustrated to sit though 5 minutes of backstory for a cat in a semi-filler episode, but I just laugh through it. The animation is pretty good for the most part, and there is a lot of attention to continuity. The story has a lot of plot holes and continuity errors, but the animation is great. I can see how a lot of stuff in this series would make people annoyed, but I just find it funny. Even if you don't like every episode, this show is really entertaining. I would recommend this series.

I have to admit that I did find this show ok. The plot was pretty much your typical shonun jump series. A boy who is a half demon wants to become an exorcist and take down satin. Together with his brother, they enroll into a excorist school and learn the ropes of being an excorist. I have seen this type of story FAR too many times. But I feel like it is done quite well. The characters are enjoyable and charming, the animation is pretty good and the story is ok. I feel like the final few episodes felt a bit too rushed, but there is a reason. It dis suprise ke when I found out why the laet few episodes were rushed, but I will explain it in my Kyoto Saga review. This was the first anime in a long, LONG time were I actually watched the dub firsr. I do have mixed feelings with it, but not what yoy are thinking. Firsr off, I cannot stand any of the male voice acting, especially the really old characters. Rim's voice actor I think was the guy who voiced Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan and thought he sounded good. The only male character who sounded really good was Yukio. That voice acting waa one of the best male voice actors I have heard in a while. But that's it, all the male's sound AWFUL. On the other hand, all the female characters sound AMAZING, which is ironic. So, all in all, a pretty sub standard show, but if you are getting into anime for the first time, give thos show a watch.

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!

This is my first review and this is the third anime i watched after death note and code geass. In comparison to them i know this is not up to their level but i enjoyed it a lot and i was so shocked to see that no one wrote a review on it yet. i never got bored watching this soap, every one of the 25 episodes are interesting unlike death note and code geass where due the impact of the previous episodes i got bored in middle episodes which are a little bit slow but they again caught the momentum and ended beautifully although i dint like the ending of code geass or i would say its inconclusive. But with blue exorcist its not like that it got better and better by each episode.

one of the main reason i liked it is that it made me nostalgic for harry potter. there are a lot of things in this soap which are identical to harry potter like the school rin attends which is so identical to Hogwarts and classes and teachers are also so identical to hogwarts. It teaches about friendship like potter and teaches that group effort is always superior to solo effort.

It has got all elements which one may look for in a good anime such as action, fantasy, comedy, drama and a little bit romance. usually i don't like comedy in anime as they some times over react to normal situations to induce comedy and it kills the scene some times but comedy in this soap is appropriate and perfectly placed. They tried avoiding comedy in serious scenes which is good for that reason every scene played well. I stopped watching fairy tale and full metal brotherhood due to such type of comedy. i was surprised to see that they stopped this show after only 1 season. I hope they reprise this how as soon as possible, i am waiting for the sequel so eagerly.

last word: you will never regret watching this show because i didn't

Blue Exorcist isn't really that spectacular and it has several problems, but that does not mean it is a terrible watch. You'll enjoy yourself while watching it, there just isn't, much more than pure entertainment. If you're okay with that then, you'll enjoy this show then I recommend it. If you don't like that, then don't watch it. Now on to the problems: I never felt like any of our characters really grew in their abilities throughout the show. In all honesty I felt their skill level was exactly the same from when they were fighting basic demons all the way to when they're fighting Satan. It might be forgivable for the side characters to not show that much growth as the main character is much more important, but our main character, Rin Okumura, doesn't show any advancement either, and I take serious issue with that. Next problem is the pacing. I think they tried to condense too much content onto too few episodes, which makes me wish there were about 50 episodes rather than 25. Towards the end things get really rushed. It's like one second everyone is still basically trainees then they're fighting the most powerful demon out there. I would have liked it to slow down and take its time. As I said before though, it does offer up a pretty decent dose of pure entertainment, so watch it if you have nothing better to watch. 6.8/10
