Blue Exorcist Vol. 1



great way to own the series
I adore this show, it caught my attention very quickly with the humor, action, and interesting twist on a demon with a heart so to speak. I was really sad to see that they haven't put out a complete collection of this series, so sadly the only way to own it right now other than an import is through single dvd's which there are 4 in all. I love the covers, and slipcovers, it looks great on a shelf and it's clean and streamlined. The outer slipcases are a dark blue, and on the dvd case itself the picture is reversible (a different set of characters on each side). Each volume comes with a different poster (which is a superb bonus) that is double sided with a different picture on each side.

Overall a great release of the series, if you can't like me wait for the complete collection to come out.

Fun, but could have been so much better
Rin Okumura is a relatively nice guy, but he has temper control problems. Always getting into trouble fighting, and recently fired from his newest part time job, Rin's future doesn't look too bright. It gets darker when he discovers that he is the son of Satan and becomes the target of demons and exorcists alike. But its ok! He has a plan! He will become an exorcist and defeat Satan! Rin has the determination, but does he have the patience and fortitude to stay awake during class, finish his homework, and actually learn something? Probably not, but being the son of Satan does grant you some cool powers, so who needs to study?

I first heard about Blue Exorcist when it first started airing. I thought it sounded like pretty good fun, but I didn't expect it to be anything special. I put off watching it until there were a reasonable amount of episodes available, then I kind of accidentally started it. And once I started, I found it hard to stop. The premise is entertaining -...

Awesome Anime!
Blue Exorcist is exactly what you would expect from the new wave of anime. I highly recommend reading the manga first if you're into manga. Getting to watch the show after reading the manga is a juicy bonus. The idea of spirituality has an interesting take in this show. The characters go through a lot of hardship and survival. Humility saves them all. It's a riviting story you can't put down. Lot's of action, lots of mystery. (KURO SAN IS AWESOME!!!) ENJOY!
