Blue Exorcist (2011)
10/10
An awesome new supernatural anime series to watch
17 September 2017
I'm always on the lookout for new supernatural anime to watch or manga to read. I had stumbled across images for this series and was intrigued. I had come across the original manga, and I thought it was really awesome. I had read up to volume seven. Of course, I think both manga and anime series are awesome too.

It has been a long while since I finished Season One on Netflix, but all I could remember is this: Rin and Yukio Okumura are twin boys raised in a monastery by Shiro Fujimoto, a priest exorcist. Demons attack the monastery, and Satan himself takes possession of Fujimoto. Rin discovers that he and his brother are actually Satan's half-blooded sons. Then Fujimoto killed himself. So fueled by vengeance, Rin decides to become an exorcist himself to defeat Satan, and he enrolls in a cram school along with other would-be exorcists, with Yukio as their professor.

You know, I despise Izumo Kamiki for being a complete jerk and humiliating Shiemi Moriyama (the main heroine). Additionally, I believed that Noriko Paku, Izumo's lone friend, had left the school because she wasn't content with just keeping up and was upset with Izumo for how she handled Shiemi, even if the girl only desired their friendship.

All in all, I love every bit of this awesome TV series, and I wish it was on North American DVD.
