This is my first time writing a review, saw there were no reviews for Sousei no Onmyouji so I figured I'd write one.
I've watched this 2 years ago, I don't remember everything precisely so somethings may be a little off
Story
It's not the most original story, but it was well done. the story starts with Rokuro Enmado, who is 14 years old(I think), and an exorcist who quit because of an tragic incident that happened in his past. One day, he meets Benio Adashino, who happens to be an exorcist too. dragged into a fight with a Kegare, an evil spirit generated from humans negative emotions, seeing Benio fighting desperately, he has no choice but to fight.
And those two, according to a prophecy are called "Twin Star Exorcists", who are bound to have a child that will save the world and clean off all the Kegare. Struggling between following the prophecy and their desire to choose their fate.
The story had some really emotional scenes, and their past wasn't trying too hard to be sad, it works perfectly.
I really enjoyed the character development on these two, they started really dull, developed emotions for each other, Supported each other, cried together, I really liked it.
Art
The art wasn't the best, but it was unique, Studio Pierrot did a really good job on the fight scenes, but my personal favorites were their emotional scenes, the mix of the animation and the sound and the dialogues is really moving and enjoyable.
Sounds
There were really good sound tracks, played at really good times, emotional, funny or action full, Also really good openings, the 3rd is probably my favorite, knowing the story behind the scenes in it makes it way better.
Characters
There're some likable characters, the two protagonists, and there's Rokuro's teacher, Seigen Amakawa, who's proabably my favorite character, his child-hood friend Mayura Otomi, who happens to not be as annoying as all the other child-hood friends, they also get introduced to the "Twelve Guardians", powerful exorcists in charge of keeping world peace.
Overall
Overall, it is a really enjoyable show, filled with romance, comedy, action and sadness, really good cast of characters and a good moving plot, I strongly recommend it.
