Anime and supernatural genre go hand in hand when it comes to anime as a whole... we have Hellsing Ultimate, Black Butler and etc... but today we talk about demons and devils because in this anime to things rule. Exorcism. Pain. Today Ao no Ekusoshisuto or Blue Exorcist. Let's Rock!

 

On a side note; all first reactions blogs are small reviews on the first 3 episodes of the show, not the first 3 seasons or anything. This is my general thoughts on ___________ show and is not a full blooded review. (Spoilers... Obviuosly)maybe))

 

Story and Characters- The story revolves around Rin Okumura, a teenager possessing abnormal strength and endurance who, along with his twin brother Yukio, was raised by Father Shiro Fujimoto, an Exorcist. One day, Rin learns that he and Yukio are the sons of Satan, the strongest of all demons. Witnessing Shiro dying to protect him, Rin ends up doing what his guardian asked him never to do: draw the demon-slaying blade Kurikara, which restrains his demonic powers, from its scabbard.

 

From that moment on, Rin not only gains permanent demonic features like fangs, pointed ears, and a tail, but also the power to ignite himself into blue flames that can destroy almost anything they touch. At Fujimoto's funeral, Rin has an encounter with Fujimoto's friend Mephisto Pheles, who agrees with Rin's wish to become an Exorcist like his guardian to become stronger and to defeat Satan. Rin enrolls at the prestigious True Cross Academy, which is actually the Japanese branch of an international organization dedicated to protect the human realm, Assiah, from demons and other creatures from the demonic realm, Gehenna. Rin takes part in a special Exorcist course, the existence of which is known only by a few. Much to his surprise, he finds that his brother, Yukio, is already a veteran exorcist and becomes one of his teachers. Thus Rin's journey to become an Exorcist begins, accompanied by his brother and his fellow students who quickly become his friends and comrades-in-arms.

 

Rin Okumura- Is the fifteen-year-old protagonist of the story. He is a son of Satan born from a human woman and is the inheritor of Satan's powers. His powers were sealed at birth into the demon-slaying blade Kurikara by Mephisto Pheles, the True Cross Academy principal, allowing him to live a normal human life for nearly 15 years with his twin brother Yukio and his foster father Shiro Fujimoto. Rin becomes aware of his true identity after Kurikara can no longer seal his powers.

 

Yukio Okumura- Is Rin's younger twin brother. When it was discovered that the woman impregnated by Satan was going to have twins, it was believed that Satan's powers would be split between them. Due to the weakness of Yukio's body, however, he did not inherit any of Satan's powers, thus being born fully human with the full extent of Satan's powers going to Rin.Yukio did. Yukio secretly trained to become an Exorcist from the age of seven in order to protect Rin through the help of Fujimoto. While both Yukio and Rin are in their first year at True Cross Academy, Yukio is already an instructor at the Exorcist cram school.

 

This plot is awesome, and Depravity can't wait to see the outcome in the finale, the ending of an anime is paramount. The story execution was very well done in the pilot and it lives the King lingering for more... Also comedy and humour work well for the episodes and our protagonist is very likable and his attitude although Depravitity can't say the same for his brother Yukio. He is cool and BA but he is very dull sometimes but still a great addition to the cast

 

Animation & Sound- The series was adapted into an anime television series by A-1 Pictures during 2011 and adapted into an anime film, Regarding the animation, it is very soild in presentation, action scences are well animated and the blue fire effect is really cool (eye candy). As for the music, the opening theme is really catchy and but I don't like the ending song, it is just 'meh'.

 

Also the dub is so awesome! Funimation has done it again... The casting for the dub is perfect I like the over the top reactions by Bryce Papenbrook, very good dub I say.

 

Inspired by a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Kato tried to work the angle of brothers fighting monsters into a story. She eventually decided on making the story about demons and exorcists, thus conceiving Blue Exorcist .Due to exorcists being the main idea of the story, the manga features a lot of Biblical references... so yeah facts!

 

I can't wait for what is to come from this series, also theree is a guy in this show called Mephisto Pheles (Chairman of True Cross Academy's Japanese branch) and is called Johann Faust V and well is quirkyness reamins me alot of Pinkie Pie, so yeah...

 

I will watch this series and Trinity Blood and enjoy both at my leisure. Look out for Blood Blockade Battle-Front first reaction and Serpah of the End first reaction later this week, good day to you all! and may Depravitiy run by you... and for the record most of these animes all have english dubs so yeah, any anime i talk about here is in english so don't worry.
