The characters of Blue Exorcist.

Plot:

Rin Okumura has always been called the son of a devil by people, because of his violent and rash nature. One day, his home is under attack, and he finds out that he is the son of Satan. After his father dies after being possessed by Satan, Rin is sent to an Exorcist Cram School, where he finds out that his younger brother is one of his teachers. Together with his new friends, he works toward his goal of defeating Satan.

Individual Ratings:

Animation: 8/10

Plot: 6/10

Characters: 7/10

Music: 7/10


Opinions:

The show had a good premise. The son of Satan wants revenge after his human father dies. However, I feel like it was ruined immediately after the show turned into a school life comedy. There was some action while they were in school, even though some of it didn't make sense. Also, there was almost no character development, with the characters staying almost stationary throughout. The animation is okay for a show from 2011, but sometimes you can see the laziness in places where they might have thought you wouldn't look.

Overall Rating:

7.0/10

    1. I've already tried it, but it felt like the anime wanted me to stop watching it, with all the embarrassing attempts at comedy and their failed efforts to convince me with sex appeal. I only stopped after half of the first episodes though, so idk, I might try again soon.
