Overall thoughts: A great look at self perspective, determination and perseverance.
Rin, an
orphan from birth, lives in a ministry with his twin bother Yukio. The head of the ministry has taken the twins in and, with the
help of the other brothers of the church, raises them as his own. Life flows as
usual, until unusual things start happening. That's when the true purpose of the
ministry is revealed and everyone's life changes forever.
Rin
Being the underdog sucks. Rin knows this better than anyone. No matter how much he tries, he always ends up coming off as wild and unruly. That all changes when he begins to notice strange beings. Beings that no one else seem to see. A lifetime of lies and secrets force Rin out of his childhood home and into a whole new, unforeseeable future as a demon hunter and exorcist (in training).
Yukio
Although he
and Rin are twins, they couldn't be more different. While Rin is a lose cannon, Yukio is studious and cautious. His kind nature and good grades make him
popular with his class mates and girls. But, is Yukio really as
lovely as he seems? Or is it all a clever cover? You'll have to check it out to
find out!
Blue
Exorcist isn't your typical shounen. It's a slice of life comedy with dark and
supernatural undertones. I like to think of it as Life of High School Boys
meets Another (you know, if Another wasn't completely homicidal). The perfect
anime for blocking out the world and relaxing after work.
