Does this review contain any spoliers? Uhh not really but the only spoiler I would see is when I was referring to a scene, that's about it..
Blue Exorcist also known as Ao No Exorcist is a fine wine anime for any shounen fan out there, or maybe someone who just desire for Shounen for the first time. Published by A-1 Pictures (Fairy Tail, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, and numerous titles), Blue Exorcist delivers enjoyment along with its variety of characters including AWESOME animation. The main focus is the ironic idea of a demon killing demons; not just any random demon, including Satan as well. The first episode jumps immediately into the storyline, which grabbed my attention (considering most animes doesn’t do that). The dope soundtrack produced by Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan, Kill La Kill) keeps bringing that fire through the battle scenes.
This 25 episode anime had an original ending, although I feel one of the weaknesses of Blue Exorcist it felt a tad bit rushed and unfocused. Another weakness would be, there were many unnecessary filler episodes, but hey at least they do focus on the other characters (firing up on each character's development). Overall the series conclusion was not focused on until the last few episodes.
I’m pretty sure as I mentioned before the series offers a great variety of characters along with different personalities, and most of the filler episodes help characterize them. Each character is seen as they own person, each with just the right amount of screen time (not too much nor too little). Perhaps one could relate themselves to another character because of this?
If you are looking for an anime with a simple yet fire storyline(pun intended) , then I highly recommend Blue Exorcist. The scenes themselves will have you speechless, while others might have you dying of laughter (One scene would be (Spoiler Alert): where the group is camping and Yukio Okumura is going on about the rules and such, he also mention Kirigakura Shura birthday, which she cut him off by throwing an empty drink can and said “Uh-oh my hand slip,” thus angering Yukio and he replied “Cut the shit and get to work already” she then said “Look I made him mad.” Considering the fact she was drunk makes it funnier.)
Upon watching this series you would want to immediately continue to the next episode, until you reached the ending. Whether you may be an anime veteran or just a plain rookie on the sidelines, you would fall in love with this series.
