Review of Blue Exorcist: The Movie
What worked: The art and animation are outstanding. Seriously, I would totally pay to see this if ever it came out in theaters just to see the art. I appreciated how the flashbacks were linked with how the characters later on interacted and the events they went through. Also, the characters were given depth and personality... well some of them were. It was pretty entertaining. What does not work: One too many WTF moments here and there. Can someone please explain what happened here? I had a super hard time following the story. [was there even a structure to this thing to begin with?] Rin & YukioOkumura start of this movie by screwing up their mission to defeat some wild phantom train and out of all this comes this devil [Usamaro] kid who Rin is entrusted to take care of. This leads to some kind of friendship..which leads to some kind of conflict...which leads to WTF IS GOING ON!? Is there a villain or something what the hell are these colorful blobs doing all over the place? What do Rin's painful flashbacks about his dad have to do with the story at all?? GAH! Oh and Shura's boobs looked like they were gonna pop out...what the hell was she even doing in this movie? I paid full on attention to this movie but yet, wasn't able to grasp any of the concepts nor the whole science behind works of Ao No Exorcist.
**So here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna watch the whole entire anime and then re-watch the movie again so my view of how it sums up as a whole it more credible (?)
