Blue Exorcist isn’t as boring as it sounds. It’s actually action-packed and has a handful of cliff-hangers. I liked the action scenes a lot, since it was drawn well, and you could understand most of its parts, unlike other animes I've seen. The quality wasn't as good as I expected, but still, it's pretty cool.The art style of the anime itself is good, and the detailing is pretty cool. I wonder how long they came up with True Cross Academy. It must have been a long time.
The character art was okay-ish. I think they just overdid it this time, though. Rin's demon form wasn't that, let's say.. Appealing to the audience. I asked most of my ANE friends and they thought it was totally off. I have to agree with that. He looked like he was picked out from an alley, drunk, and had a furry tail attached up his behind. Other characters' details were fine. I especially liked how cute they made Shiemi's character, and how tsundere they made Izumo.
Let's talk about the sounds. There's a reason why I picked "Outstanding" as the rating for sound. The voice actors fit perfectly along their characters, making it look as if they were meant to play that role. Well, they were since they WERE chosen.. =='' Eto.. The Opening and Ending songs were plain awesome, and the sound effects were sublime. They really did a great job on that. They have my rare compliments for sound.
I enjoyed the first-half of the anime. I'm actually not sure what it'll turn out to be, now that they have a lot of twists. But I hope Blue Exorcist turns out to be as I expected and wanted. I wish it would satisfy me completely, since I rarely find animes that have. I'm looking forward to continuing the rest of the series sometime this week, since schoolwork and everything else get in the way all the time.
I know I can’t wait for the next episodes of Blue Exorcist. I’m actually on the edge of my seat, waiting for more of the epicness.
