It had its moments, but the story was actually pretty bad overall. Towards the end, we randomly got hit with some pedophile plot twist shit, and I honestly don’t know what the hell to make of this anime anymore. It’s a pretty a pretty bad story overall. I actually ended up binge-watching once every four months. It wasn’t really exciting, so I didn’t feel like waiting to watch each new episode once a week. I feel the story’s pace was much too slow, often dwelling much too long on the characterization and development of the twin stars. I often just sat in my chair, apathetic to all of the bullshit that the characters kept pulling out of their asses. “But your master plan was part of my SUPER master plan ALL ALONG! I have been using you, lesser antagonist, this whole time!” “Oh, but it was all part of my master plan!”Īnd then the shitty plot twist that I mentioned earlier would be another antagonist saying, One thing that really pissed me off is that all of the villains kept saying phrases like: For example, one of the main antagonists is basically just some psychotic kid with attachment issues. The story really doesn’t have any depth, and it certainly isn’t realistic. At a snail’s rate anyways, but no worries because they often get sudden power ups out of nowhere. The story emphasizes that Rokuro and Benio both want to get stronger. Almost all of the characters are slowly introduced with background stories that are supposed to be tragic, but their backgrounds came across as overly done to the point where it was kind of just stupid-silly after a while. The evil kegare monsters are sealed in an alternate dimension called “megano”, where the exorcists must go to fight them. They’re prophesized to be the “twin stars” or two chosen exorcists that will get married, have a baby, and the baby will be the most powerful exorcist called the “miko” (basically something like a baby Jesus that will save the world from all of the evil kegare monsters). The story mainly follows two cliche and initially overpowered main protagonists named “Rokuro” and “Benio” as they overcome many hard trials thereby growing stronger and closer together displaying mild romance. However, towards the end the show started pulling both random and shitty plot twists out of its ass, and then shooting them at us like it’s a “shit machine-gun” (2/10). Then I thought, “Oh wow! This is actually pretty good!” from 9 to 37-ish (7/10).
Was going to be pretty average at first (5 out of 10). However, most importantly, by the end I thought to myself “Wow, this is pretty fucking bad.” Sometimes I even said, “Whoa! Didn’t see that coming! Is this really a kids show? wtf?” when some pretty dark things happened I often skipped through some of the many slow scenes and flashbacks. Sometimes I became angry at how stupid and immature the characters were. Sometimes I thought, “Oh, this is such a cool kiddy shounen!” I have very mixed feelings about this show…
“Cliche Archetype-filled Exorcist Shounen With Many Crappy Plot Twists” I feel that these 8.5 words describe the entirety of this anime:
