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…

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…

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…

Sousei no Onmyouji is the best anime I've ever seen. Well the anime respects the manga until episode 20 and after it's original story because the manga is lunar and the original story really went well and even really enjoyed it . I started to read the manga Sousei no onmyouji because i want to know the originaly story .
After all, I ask you to look at the anime and read the manga are the same story but in different worlds. How to explain it better?
Story 10/10
Sousei no Onmyouji tells the story of two talented exorcists who are destined to become the "Twin Star Exorcists" and the prophesised parents of the Miko—the reincarnation of Abe no Seimei—who will cleanse the world of all impurities.
Art 8/10
Art has not been so good, but after a few episodes it has improved
Sound 10/10

I believe the Sousei No Onmyouji is by far the best anime I have watched. However, what really stood out was character development, especially between Rokuro and Benio. Even though they repeat how they "want to get stronger" it is not taken literally but more figuratively for they want to have a stronger relationship, become mentally stronger and physically stronger. I believe it is really supposed to be symbolic.
Art: I don't think it is supposed to be artistic, I don't think that is what the artists were aiming for but it is still really good. The background/ setting is amazing though, especially Magano.
Story: This anime had a really well thought out plot line with dramatic twists and turns that kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. It was really enjoyable to see how everythin…

If I'm being 100% honest here, I almost dropped this anime after ep 3. But something told me to keep watching. So I did, and now it's in my top 10 favorite anime.
There was something very sweet and innocent about this anime. I admit I had tears falling down my face in quite a few places. And I NEVER cry when watching anime.
The story reminded me a lot of D. Gray-Man. The MC is both the savior and destroyer of the world. The main enemy, Basra, were just like the Noah. But this anime had more heart to it.
Each character had their own challenges to overcome in order to become a stronger exorcist. Rather than being annoying with all the flashbacks, it helped make the story more immersive.
Unfortunately, the anime strayed away from the manga in some places. There were a few main characters…

It's been 3 years or something since this came out so time to give it a nice good review to today's standards.
Story: 7
Honestly the story wasn't the best and felt quite repetitive, however the story plot is the kind that is quickly thought up of and executed pretty decently. I will say that the story line should've been thought over a lot more though since this had a lot of potential to be like a kill la kill type anime.
Art: 6
The art is quite visually pleasing despite being an older anime. The animations weren't the best however as an example: Benio talks without her mouth opening like 2 times I believe. Small mistakes that should've been gone over before airing. Other than that, the art was pretty decently made but I still think it could've been better if more time and effort were p…

While many of the reviews are harsh for this anime, I'd like to give my perspective. I watch anime that have a heavy romance element. Action with other elements mixed in are great, but romance is my main focus when looking for anime. Yes, the story is similar to many other anime. It felt like a mashup of D. Gray Man, Bleach, Naruto and some others. I get that's why people were not happy about the story portion. I loved it though. The relationship between Benio and Rokuro. The familial sub-story with Sae. The constant separations from Benio to protect her. Her desperation to get back to him. I for one highly recommend the anime and hope they find a way to make a season 2 with them set to become husband and wife while still fighting to balance the world. I loved the story. The art was fantas…

MY FIRST REVIEW PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME:
I don't really see why so many people hate the anime. I guess its because they are comparing it too much to the manga. Anyways getting right into it, I'll just highlight what makes this anime good in my opinion. You can skip to the bottom for a super quick summary.
Story: 8
Story is super simple, its the same "secret organization needs to kill a common enemy" simple stuff that's been done a million times. HOWEVER, this anime does what practically no action/romance anime ever does. They make the romance aspect of the anime undeniably linked to the action portion. In order for our heroes to beat strong enemies and get stronger themselves they have to get closer together which I have never seen before. I also like how they take a much light-hearted and…

I promise the spoilers will be trivial and won't reveal the big "plots"
Right. This anime... had a stupid amount of potential to be one of the best animes out there but at the end I'm just sitting here going... typical. Nothing stood out. And this pretty much sums up the review but ofcourse, details and reasoning, now's the time to stop reading if you don't want to be spoilt at all but as mentioned, they'll be trivial.
So the story revolves around 2 protagonists who are exorcists, 14 year old kids with a terrible past and the same goal. Prophesied to be the "twin stars" who are expected to marry and give birth to "miko" who'll save the world. Its not unique, for sure, but has potential.
Story: (a 7/10 but because of the ending plot, 5.5/10)
Since I did promise a minimal spoiler rev…

There were many many things I highly disliked about this anime. But then there were also many things I enjoyed about the anime with encouraged me to give it a high rating anyway. Skip to the bottom for a TL;DR. Warning: I will try to avoid spoilers but there may be some very minor/vague ones throughout.
First off, I'm not really a fan of long shows unless I start partway in an watch as they air, and this show I didn't find until after it was over. The pacing was so poor in some parts that I actually started falling asleep during some episodes, which I never do while watching anime no matter how tired I am. I still don't know what happened to two or three characters because I slept through their episodes and didn't want to rewatch them. But on the other hand, the long story was good becaus…

** Spoiler Free **
~ If I had one dollar for every time someone said "I want to get stronger" during the anime, I would have been rich!~
Characters: I liked the affectionate involvement of the main characters, Benio and Rokuro. They grow and mature throughout the series, they support and motive each other in order to achieve their goal.
Story: The plot unfolds slowly and personally I got bored. It got a bit tedious and monotonous as we watch the protagonists "getting stronger" while more and more opponents appear. Unnecessary scenes and characters.
The comedy was funny. Maybe it was one of they best aspects of the series. Art: The style and quality of the art change during the series. The characters design was really poor in some episodes, their faces looked like they were drawn by a ch…

This based on my opinion and my experiences.
May contain spoilers!
I begin with the art. The art is not mesmerizing if i compare this one with anime nowadays, it's below the average. The fighting scene is 4/10, so fast and not very much action and skill in that scene. Like "What?! he is doing it again? no new skill? wtf?!".
The story is predictable, when i came to the mid series i felt like "Oh well, this protagonist will not have an" OP "power for a while." It's not very good and not bad either, sometime it maybe similar to another anime with same genres, but sometime it can be "fresh" you know what i am saying.
The character is fair enough, i do not really like the tooth from the male main character, the tooth is not normal, i dont know what the meaning behind that, i just dont get it…

This Anime was better then most out there to date. If you go back into the past of all the Anime made, you will see that every one has their own strength as a genre. What MANY anime fans do not understand is that there is no ORIGINAL ANIME anymore. When time moves forward so does repeats of stories from the past since most ideas have been made so far until new technology or ideas are made. So for all of you hardliners out there complaining about your complaints of unoriginal and fascist ideals, you will never find many originals left since you can find copies of almost every anime out there now. I enjoyed this anime it had many different anime in it and thats what i love! for ideals to mix to create NEW ideas.. The Music was awesome with the mix of battle scenes, and yes! there was romance…

To be honest, I really loved Twin Star Exorcists. When it first came out in the spring of April 6, 2016, I was like "Oh, this anime might give me something to watch". Then I really got into the plot. Twin Star Exorcists at some points were emotional, but also awesome at the same time. On Wednesdays after school, I would go strait to the computer to watch Twin Star Exorcists. At one point I got a little behind, but I made up for it in spare time. I loved how many different types of talisman spells there were, how many types of character developments there were as well.

Intro
Twin stars’ exorcist or its official name Sousei no Onmyouji is based off the popular manga of the same name and is a direct adaption of it. At 50 episodes, long this is one of the longer animes that I have seen recently as most animes these days are not as long as they used to be. So far, the longest running animes that I seen since I started watching animes have been at 366 episodes long and Fairy tail to which the number is probably higher but I have yet to finish that one. At 50 episodes, long Twin suns is around just over two full seasons of 24 episodes each.
Twin star’s exorcist is an action/fantasy anime with some supernatural elements thrown into the mix as well and in this is actually quite similar to the likes of Bleach. As a result of this along with the setting and the…

The word 'adaptation' for anime has quite a flexible definition. Most often, the term 'adaptation' means that the production company takes the source material and tries their best to make a carbon copy of the series that they decided to make in animated form. But at the same time, the word 'adaptation' can mean "based on" the original source material, and have their own anime-original plots and endings that contradict what the original series may have entailed. Twinstar Exorcists, or Sousei no Omnyouji is an example of the latter.
Story: The world we live in is a place that exists parallel to its antithesis, a place known as Magano. In it, the negative thoughts of humans merge together and form creatures of corruption and sin known as 'Kegare'. Kegare feed off of the spirtual power of hu…

In a world full of Shonen series Twin Star Exorcists will defently NOT change anything about it, but with even that i stonrgly recomend you to give this sereis a chance.
The story is focused is these two characters, Rokuro and Benio is their livas as exosist who fight an evil known as Kegare.
You may like to know from the start the this series only take the premise of the original source of the mange for the first 20 episodes, while the other 30 s an anime original story, with 8 or so episodes with a "monster of the week" progression with the rest of the episodes for the final arc and finale but is not as you might think, the so-called "filler" it will be actually some what relevant to the ofthe story, (just a little) never the less, it could it be shorter. BTW It gets and actual ending,…

I feel that these 8.5 words describe the entirety of this anime:
“Cliche Archetype-filled Exorcist Shounen With Many Crappy Plot Twists”
I have very mixed feelings about this show…
- Sometimes I thought, “Oh, this is such a cool kiddy shounen!”
- Sometimes I became angry at how stupid and immature the characters were.
- I often skipped through some of the many slow scenes and flashbacks.
- Sometimes I even said, “Whoa! Didn’t see that coming! Is this really a kids show? wtf?” when some pretty dark things happened
- However, most importantly, by the end I thought to myself “Wow, this is pretty fucking bad.”
I honestly thought this show was going to be pretty average at first (5 out of 10). Then I thought, “Oh wow! This is actually pretty good!” from 9 to 37-ish (7/10). However, towards t…
