Synopsis

After a fight with his foster father Shirou Fujimoto, Rin Okumura's life is transformed overnight when Rin is revealed to be the son of the demon lord Satan, king of the demonic realm of Gehenna. Soon after, his foster father becomes possessed and dies at the hands of Satan, leaving Rin and his twin brother Yukio alone in the world. Seeking revenge for Fujimoto's death, Rin attends True Cross Academy with Yukio in order to become an exorcist and join the Knights of the True Cross.

Rin's new path, however, is filled with many difficulties. While new classes and dealing with his peers are already troublesome enough, he is also forced to conceal his newfound demonic powers and parentage. In addition, plenty of evildoers want to use him for their own ends. One misstep could lead to disaster, as not everyone at True Cross Academy is exactly who they seem to be...

Preliminary (11/? eps)

How is this manga NOT on the top ten most popular mangas! Normally with mangas, I have a few negative comments to say about it, such as the character development or the lingering plots that never seem to end, but I have nothing bad to say about Ao no Exorcist. As the summary says, it's a story about demons and exorcists. Except, in this case, the main character, Rin, is both a demon AND an exorcist. And not just any demon, he's the son of satan.

Rin has issues with his powers and keeping himself from being discovered by the other exorcists. The character development ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (16/? eps)

I’ve heard enough about “Blue Exorcist” for a while now to get me interested in reading it. I was so excited when I saw the volumes at my library and picked up the first four right away. After finishing the first four volumes, I’m sad to say that I am thoroughly disappointed. Here is why:

The plot of Blue Exorcist sounds pretty interesting.That initial plot (+ the art style) was what made me want to read the series, but it’s also that plot that makes me not want to continue.

First, let’s take a look at some similar plots such as: Naruto, Soul Eater, or D.Gray-Man. Now, ...

this review will have spoilers! you been warn.
while I know I"m the only one feeling this way, I can't help but at last write how I feel. even if I be the only one, at last some of you would know what you gotten yourself into.

at first I really like this mange, especially the first arc and even the arc after that. but with time this mange become not only more ridiculous and trying to look "cool" by mimicking other mange's and doing it poorly (cough One piece cough) but also lost the reason's characters actually doing things.

what hurt the story and ... here we are, in a place where the characters have no reason for doing what they doing and lost all their characteristic that was part of who they were and what make them good.

some character look more "strong" but still need to be rescue every time! (Shiemi) what didn't help much, has much has I"m trying to like them. and the other girl (Izumo background arc) it just make her look even more of a bitch then what she is. a bitch with even more fucked up bitch mother, what don't save her character.

Shima is the perfect example of lack in reason and bad development for a character I have ever seen, and no, doing shit with no reason doesn't make him a good character!! him deciding/choosing to be a spay for both Mephisto and the fuck up organization that will kill his friends for the simple reason that it fun this way, and more easy to live this way - fuck this shit! even his father said it's stupid, and we don't get any other reason for his harming ways and why he can smile after he just betray again and again them and say "it so much fun" or "this is more simple life for me" - yap that what he's said himself. how the fuck is that simple or fun?!! THIS IS NOT A REASON!!

And Suguro, the one that look like a bad ass (that got my favorite voice actors ever in the anime!) don't get to run away from bad development and lack of reason when a new teacher come, showing up for two minutes, and after that talking to them 5 minutes and Suguro decided that he's in love with him/admiring him from basically no where and want to be his Pupil with no fucking good reason!!! and by becoming one, bow to him and ready to become his slave. while he guess this guy is fuck up in the head, this teacher said Suguro a masochist. how the fuck he become one out of no where?!! fuck this shit!!

other then that there is many small things that happen with no reason or don't get to be explain wall, but what happen with this two characters are the most big one's that show how bad a mange series can get with no proper reason.

don't expect a good development in the story or the characters, you won't get one.

this mange was the first mange I read after the anime that made me actually hate the characters that I like while watching the anime and regret reading it! and I could never liked them again!! it ruin it for me! what really make me sad cause there was a time that I really liked those characters. so save yourself the trouble and only watch the anime, it better this way.
