Anime Review - Blue Exorcist Collection 1
Based upon the smash hit manga series of the same name by Kazue Kato, Blue Exorcist ( 青の祓魔師 ) became the absolute sleeper hit of 2009 and has continued to sell its proverbial socks off. "Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can exorcise such demons." - the Exorcists Rin Okumura and his twin brother Yukio have been raised by Shiro Fujimoto, an eminent priest, so it comes as a shock when Rin discovers their biological father is actually Satan! As the border between "Assiah" (the human world) and "Gehenna" (the demon world) is crossed by evil, Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his own father. To hone his raw skills, Rin enters True Cross Academy to train with other exorcist candidates.
