Sousei no Onmyouji

Magano, a parallel realm filled with monsters known as "Kegare," is a place where exorcists deal with all impurities. Benio Adashino is a prodigy exorcist who is recognized for her strength and is summoned to Tokyo by the Exorcist Union. On her way, she plummets into the arms of Rokuro Enmadou, a young exorcist with a troubled past.

But the impurities of Magano do not rest. When these two exorcists witness a couple of children stolen by a Kegare, Benio rushes to save them, dragging Rokuro along with her into Magano. Engaged in a fight she is on the verge of being defeated in, Benio is saved by Rokuro, revealing himself capable of being her rival in talent.

Sousei no Onmyouji tells the story of two talented exorcists who are destined to become the "Twin Star Exorcists" and the prophesised parents of the Miko—the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei—who will cleanse the world of all impurities.

This review will contain some SPOILERS. I haven't read the source material, So I don't know if it was a good or bad adaptation

STORY - Twin Star Exorcists takes place in the world where there are Kegare (They are evil spirit monsters) and there are Exorcists who exorcise them. Benio (Main female protagonist) is a child prodigy. While she is going to Tokyo on train and it is attacked by Kegare. She exorcises them and then falls from sky on Rokuro (Main Male protagonist). he defeats the Kegare with one shot and is shown to be stronger than her. He doesn't want to be ... a Exorcist but they are supposed to be Twin star exorcist according to Arima (head priest). The story follows these two as they overcome challenges and face their tragic past and antagonists from past.
I liked the story. The pacing is Great up to time skip (episode 20ish) ,then nearly up to 30 it is slow. And next 10 episodes it picks up the pace and the ending is again fast paced.

ART - Animation is sometimes Great and sometimes decent. Nothing groundbreaking or something to complain about. It is Good

SOUND - I am not a sound expert but it is good. No major complains

CHARACTER - The chemistry between Rokuro and Benio is great. I enjoyed the chemistry between them. Most main characters are developed convincingly and have no problem with it. I got soo angry when that Seimei guy asks her to copulate her body with his. Thankfully, what I thought didn't happen (You know what I mean right...) . I loved most main characters.

ENJOYMENT - I enjoyed first 20ish and last 15 - 20 episodes. Immediately after time skip it felts somewhat slow and I even thought to put it at hold. But the anime went to high gear soon after.

CONCLUSION - Finally I enjoyed this anime and can recommend to anyone who want a fantasy anime with nice plot and great characters. The villains are decent.

Mixed Feelings

I think the show is basic but overall pretty good
I mean basic by your anime character(s) fighting monsters and that there is some silly goofy stuff behind it and then uh oh characters have to solve it

This would probably get a higher rating from me if there was a scene where the child is made, in the show the main two characters are a couple, and I would like to see them actually pursuit and genuine couple style instead of be shy teenagers for the entire show.

If you are just here to waste time on some sick sight scenes and plot that doesn't get ... to boring then I would recommend this show
6/10

July 3, 2021 I made a review for this anime and I gave it a 9. I made that review when I was Junior in high school, not noticing the problems with the anime at that time I thought it was good. Ever since then I've read the manga and realized that it was actually bad.

Twin Star Exorcists (Sousei no Onmyouji) is an anime that was given the anime original route which didn't work very well. Even before the story becomes anime only, a lot was changed from the manga that makes the story worse. They added a character to the beginning that stays with ... our main characters until the last episode and he served no purpose other that to drag out the romance between the main characters when in the manga he is a very loyal and somewhat respectable character that isn't introduced until much later in the story. Dialogue that was meant to have meaning behind it was completely taken out and rebranded, they just took out an important moment in the beginning between two characters for no reason. I can't stress enough how badly this anime was done wrong.... Even certain events were shown out of order when they worked better in the order they were in the manga. It just doesn't make any sense but that isn't may main issue with this adaptation.

The problem with anime only route:

Besides the anime completely messing up the manga content before it becomes anime original, my biggest issue with this is the anime original route they took while making it. In the anime after about 20 episodes or so (I'm just guessing off of memory) the anime turns into 100% anime original content. Events happen that don't matter, characters are introduced that don't matter, manga characters that show up much later are introduced but completely different. I can't really say much without spoiling it, but the anime just becomes horrible. In the manga our two protagonists are separated and both discover more about themselves and their intertwined fate that they are stuck with and have obstacles they must overcome and to eventually meet each other again at a certain location.

I know this review went on about the manga a lot, but lets pretend the manga didn't exist and this whole anime was an anime original, it still would be bad. It's a poorly written story after it becomes anime original and that's about half of the episodes. Don't even bother watching this, just read the manga I promise you it's x100 better. I used to really like this anime until I rewatched it then decided to read the manga afterwards and realized how dirty this anime was done, it's in desperate need of a reboot that is manga canon. If you've seen the anime I suggest you start reading the manga but start from chapter 1, there's a lot of information that the anime doesn't go over that will make everything make more sense.

(I wish I could give it a 1/10 but there's anime much worse than this)

Final Score 4/10
