Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I'm always on the look-out for new supernatural anime to watch or manga to read. Then I had come across pictures for this series was curious about it. 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 had finished Season One on Netflix, but all I could remember is this: Raised by a priest exorcist named Shiro Fujimoto, Rin and Yukio Okumura are twin brothers living in a monastery. But during a demonic attack and Fujimoto getting possessed by Satan himself, Rin learns that he and his brother are in fact Satan's half-blooded sons. Then Fujimoto kills 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'd started to hate Izumo Kamiki for being a total b***h for making a fool out of Shiemi Moriyama (the main lady). Also I had thought Izumo's only friend Noriko Paku left cram school for just not keeping up, but also she the disappointment she has for her for the way she treated Shiemi, when she only wanted their friendship.All in all, I love every bit of this awesome TV series, and I wish it was on North American DVD.

Ben Davis 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

delaney_stuart 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!

kishore kadapala 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
