I wasn't sure what I wanted when I went into this show, but I got more than I was expecting.
Twin Star Exorcists is quite an interesting show. It definitely has some standout features that we'll go over, like the animation, the art, and the character development.
Let's start with the animation. The fights were all animated quite well. I honestly don't have much to say in this department. The colors were very vibrant, and some cool fight effects during the fights added some nice touches.
The animation was not groundbreaking. It was pretty consistent, although it did feel a bit strained during some of the less important episodes. I don't mind too much, but just know that it can sometimes be a tad sloppy.
Now, where I think this show excels is the development between Rokuro and Benio. It'…

If you were watching anime around 2016, there's a good chance you at least heard about Twinstar Exorcists. It was one of those shows that had a cool premise, a pretty strong first impression, and then... kind of disappeared from the conversation. Nowadays, when people bring it up, it's usually because of one thing "Isn't that the anime that completely went anime original?" And honestly? That's become its entire reputation, which is a little unfair.
- PREMISE: IT'S ABOUT AS SHONEN AS IT GETS
The story follows Rokuro Enmado, a former child prodigy exorcist who wants absolutely nothing to do with exorcism anymore after experiencing a traumatic incident. Then he meets Benio Adashino, another talented exorcist who's basically his complete opposite. She's serious, disciplined, and incredibly p…

Man where do I even start with Twin Star Exorcists. I went in expecting just another shonen with cool exorcist fights and some romance fluff but 50 episodes later I am sitting here feeling like I actually lived through something. It is rare for a long running series to keep its soul intact all the way through but this one did. It genuinely felt like a journey.
Rokuro and Benio start off so normal. Not in the chosen one way that feels fake but like actual teenagers who got thrown into this insane world of ayakashi and onmyouji stuff. Rokuro is hot headed kinda dumb in the best way and carries this massive chip on his shoulder. Benio is more disciplined a bit tsundere at first but you slowly see the cracks in her armor. Their growth together is the real heart of the show. It is not just pow…

Twin Star Exorcists. A story that is cliché, has some expected plot points ,but still made me love it dearly, regardless.
It is a story about a world of Sorcerers that fight "Kegare", beings born from human negativity , feeding from it , existing in a parellel world that mirrors reality and preying on humans at every chance they get.
In this world ,there is a grand prophecy about the union of two certain sorcerers that will inevitably result in the birth of "Miko" ,the supposed "child of the gods" (or stars ,depending on the translation) which will be the ray of hope for humanity's survival. As one could imagine ,those two certain sorcerers mentioned above ,are our two protagonists, Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio. They don't start off well together, but there is a gradual and steady c…

Twin Star Exorcists is an action-packed supernatural anime that blends intense battles, emotional character growth, and a unique take on destiny. While it takes creative liberties from the manga, the anime delivers an engaging story with its own charm.
Story:
Twin Star Exorcists follows Rokuro and Benio, two young exorcists fated to become the "Twin Stars"—the destined couple prophesied to bring an end to the war against the monstrous Kegare. While both are skilled fighters, they start off as rivals, reluctant to accept their destiny. However, as the anime progresses and they find out more about themselves their relationship grows, making the emotional journey as gripping as the action in it.
One of the anime’s biggest strengths is its world-building. The setting of Magano, a parallel re…

July 3, 2021 I made a review for this anime and I gave it a 9. I made that review when I was Junior in high school, not noticing the problems with the anime at that time I thought it was good. Ever since then I've read the manga and realized that it was actually bad.
Twin Star Exorcists (Sousei no Onmyouji) is an anime that was given the anime original route which didn't work very well. Even before the story becomes anime only, a lot was changed from the manga that makes the story worse. They added a character to the beginning that stays with our main characters until the last episode and he served no purpose other that to drag out the romance between the main characters when in the manga he is a very loyal and somewhat respectable character that isn't introduced until much later in the s…

if you were hoping for an onmyoudou anime you will be disappointed, if you were hoping for a bog standard "i want to get stronger" "defeat everyone with the power of love" anime with an onmyoudou aesthetic this is your anime. the animation is pretty good though, and there may even be a couple characters you like and probably more you are supposed to like but really want to crucify.
i have said everything i feel needs to be said, but the machine isn't letting me publish because i guess it feels i haven't answered enough questions, here's it's suggestions:
Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? no, it's bog standard shounen, if you put shounen anime with onmyoudou aesthetic into chatGPT it will make this anime, if you have ne…

I think the show is basic but overall pretty good
I mean basic by your anime character(s) fighting monsters and that there is some silly goofy stuff behind it and then uh oh characters have to solve it
This would probably get a higher rating from me if there was a scene where the child is made, in the show the main two characters are a couple, and I would like to see them actually pursuit and genuine couple style instead of be shy teenagers for the entire show.
If you are just here to waste time on some sick sight scenes and plot that doesn't get to boring then I would recommend this show
6/10

Well, I ended up finishing this show for some reason. I do not know what, but something kept me going. It's hard to review this anime. On one hand, it has a few great moments, on the other, there are some utterly trash scenes (I nearly dropped it multiple times, it was so infuriating). The biggest problem is not this though, but that it is full of cliché, and overused tropes. The characters are one-dimensional. Some of them are plain annoying. The story and the turning points are predictable. The fight scenes is full of reused scenes and still images. A lot of filler. Also you can find the most blatant "will-they-won't-they, oh no shit happened again" love scenes here. And so on the list is quite long.
Despite all of this, it has a certain charm. First of all, an acceptable "power couple"…

So first of all i would like to say I personally like a anime with decent storyline if not good. TWIN STAR EXORCIST was another cliche anime with random bullshit of a story.
Story-4/10
So basically A person planned everything for thousands of years but was manipulated by 16 years old boy, but that boy itself was an unnecessary existence, and all this was a part of another person plan who was planning everything for thousands of years. Yeah well I don't know should I have been excited or disappointed by such storywriting. Also the story has a lots of twists and turns which do not have any explanation whatsoever.
At time at Conclusion i felt that this was some fake ripoff of Naruto. The protagonist basically has a kurama mode going on at some places. Then there is some dude who is trying to…

Pros- Great Action Scenes
Great Character Development
World Building
Cons- Pacing was really slow
Shouldn't have been 50 episodes
Predictable cliches Twin Star Exorcists was an enjoyable show in my opinion. I enjoyed the development between Benio and Rokuro and their relationship throughout the series. However, I wished the anime wasn't 50 episodes because it drags the story a lot. Also I enjoyed the side characters as well in the series. Also I the world building in the show as well. Overall, if you are looking for a fantasy with supernatural elements, with some romance I highly recommend it also i enjoyed the fight scenes as well.

After watching first 20 to 25 episodes, you may think that this anime is good. That it has certain pattern which is very basic and done so many times but nevertheless the delevopment in the story is rapid.
However, do not raise your expectations. This anime is very very average.
I observed following signs of medeocrity and/or bad quality:
* Characters are dense in terms of romance
* Very average action although very loud.
* Miserable attempt to serve exposition as dialogue
* Kiss in the last episode
* In a single episode, characters are interrupted twice when confessing (or equivalent) in a HANABI like style
* There is cringey SAO like papa-mama arc
* Each episode features some kegare which is superstrong or unprecedented.
* At some point 7-8 basaras are introduced which begs the question…

Okay, I felt like I needed to speak up on my opinion on this show. In my opinion, it really wasn't that bad.
Let's start with the story; 8/10. It was perfectly paced, and didn't have me bored at any points. I could continue watching without wanting to go do something else. The one thing that does bother me about the story is how it doesn't match up with the manga, or so I've heard (I have not read the manga. I am planning on it.) But, at least for the anime, it's not a boring story.
Next, the art. I was pretty disappointed at the beginning that the art was very simple and you could notice a lot of places where they obviously rushed and it ended up looking weird. But, once I got more into the anime, the animation and the style became so much more bearable, it was rather, pretty. This is…

[Spoiler Free] So here's the thing, Sousei no Onmyouji is first and foremost an action shounen with a simple but great romance subplot. If you're expecting side-splitting comedy, deep thought-provoking introspective or heart-wrenching emotion filled scenarios then sorry but you’re watching the wrong anime.
Reviewers are a strange lot largely split into two groups - those who can review objectively (ie. I’m tasting pie so I’m going to compare it to other pies) and those who can’t (ie. why can’t this pie do press-ups and solve world peace). So really.. let’s be fair and compare apples to apples.
If you generally enjoy action shounen, then Sousei no Onmyouji delivers in buckets and will tick all the boxes you expect of a 50-espisode series. Great art and style? Check. Great Opening/Closing…

It is really good with a pinch of romance the battle scenes are good but plus with romance. It is a MASTERPIECE. The animation is a little bad but not bad to get a 9 It will need a season 2. But not really top 1 of all but i give thanks to the youtubers who gave me the anime to watch I binged watch it. Sometimes when they talked the lips moves but the teeth does not until it is normal again
. More better than most anime (sorry other anime fans)
me saying it badly: very very very very very very very very very very very very good best best best best best

Well, it's a battle shounen that takes its romance elements kinda seriously, I guess. That really is the main praise I have for the show: it doesn't bait the viewers or (totally) ignore the relationship between the two main characters for long stretches of episodes while making 3+ episode fights.
The plot 4/10: well, it had some twists and turns and whatnot, I guess. Mostly just "and HE was behind it the WHOLE time! It was I!" type of thing. There is a fair amount of deus ex machina usage in the show, too. Not much to say here, mediocre.
Art 7/10: I actually liked the art in this quite a bit. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's decently well-done.
Sound 5/10: Nothing stuck out to me, so I call it average.
Characters 5/10: Ok, so here's my main issue with this show. The "good…

I actually enjoyed the show in a capacity of taking it for what it was, a shounen action "romance" anime that, if I'm honest, didn't fill me with hope at first time of finding it.
Still, really happy i gave it a chance for it is pleasant and above all, easy watching. Characters motivations, both hero and villain, are at the same time easy and hard to understand, which makes it easy to empathize with,
while at the same time, keeping you hooked and awaiting the next turn and twist.
Action-wise, the fight scenes are kinda choppy and there really no fluidity except for the "major" battles, and even those fall a bit short of the standards for a modern action show. On the plus though, there's very little talking during these fights and you normally get a clear winner 6/10.
Romance-wise, its what…

Só os ultimos 5 epis foram bons de verdade, o resto foi tudo encheção de linguiça, protagonistas só apanham não fazem nada, SÓ SÃO SALVOS O TEMPO INTEIRO, inclusive a heroina é outra fracassada que apanha pra kctttttttttt
Tem mt incoerência de força (o fraco ganha do forte e o cara que deveria ser forte na verdade é fraco)
Os 12 generais são uns zés ninguém, não passam imponência alguma, sem contar o mestre do prota que além de ser um fracote é um clichêzão mal escrito
Animação falha muitas vezes com diversas cenas recicladas
Bando de epi filler que não servem para nada, momentos que eram para ser tensos são mal aproveitados e acabam não fazendo tanto efeito, os caras só resolveram trabalhar de verdade nos ultimos 2 epi
Final: Doq adianta fazer 50 epis só para…

This anime reminds me of Sword art online, it gets good until they get a kid. That is probably the best way to kill the overall enjoyment in Sousei no Onmyouji and Sword art online.
I would give it a overall 8, but then THIS FUCKING KID COMES IN AND EVERYTHING CHANGES BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS, AND ITS NOT EVEN THEIR KID ITS A FKING ROBOT. And because of this cursed child i will rate this anime overall 1, and if i could i would like to delete this cursed memory that is now burnt into my brain.
