Sousei no Onmyouji (Twin Star Exorcists) Review

As you know I did reviews on Kekkaishi and Ao no Exorcist and I mentioned in both that I would watch Twin Star Exorcists. Well, I finally finished watching Sousei no Onmyouji aka. Twin Star Exorcists in English, so I will now review it! Twin Star Exorcists started as a 16-volume 2013 manga written by Yoshiaki Sukeno. Then it became a 50-episode 2016 anime series by Studio Pierrot. Additionally, there is a game too. I loved Twin Star Exorcists and to me it was a fantastic anime that combined action, supernatural, romance, and fantasy in one. Twin Star Exorcists did a good job of combing action, romance, and comedy which is another reason why I loved this anime.


Summary
Magano, a parallel realm filled with monsters known as "Kegare," is a place where exorcists deal with all impurities. Benio Adashino is a prodigy exorcist who is recognized for her strength and is summoned to Tokyo by the Exorcist Union. On her way, she plummets into the arms of Rokuro Enmadou, a young exorcist with a troubled past.
When these two exorcists witness a couple of children stolen by a Kegare, Benio rushes to save them, dragging Rokuro along with her into Magano. Engaged in a fight she is on the verge of being defeated in, Benio is saved by Rokuro, revealing himself capable of being her rival in talent.
Sousei no Onmyouji (Twin Star Exorcists) 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.


My Thoughts
Twin Star Exorcists was an amazing anime that did a great job of combining all the elements that I love. It gets very interesting, especially towards the end which kept me watching this series. While it's kind of cliche, it is still very enjoyable and exciting. I loved the variety of characters and every I probably liked each character in a different way. We also got to see our characters mature and grow quite a bit throughout the series. So the character development is very strong. The relationship between Rokuro and Benio is something in itself. While they don't like each other at first, their relationship progresses. Oh yeah I mentioned them in my 2018 Valentines Day Post so feel free to ship them. The ending to Twin Star Exorcists was great and I think it did a pretty good job of wrapping up the series.



My Conclusion
I would give Twin Star Exorcists 5/5 stars or a 10/10 score. Twin Star Exorcists did a great job of combing action, romance, and comedy into 50 episodes.  I loved this anime and I recommend it for anyone who is a fan of action, romance, or supernatural anime.
