Twin Star Exorcists

About Twin Star Exorcists

Twin Star Exorcists (双星の陰陽師) blends action, adventure and comedy by Studio Pierrot (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Rokuro Enmado is a young boy who used to be a powerful aspiring exorcist, before a tragic incident left his ally dead and made him abandon the profession. One day, he has a fateful encounter with Benio Adashino, a girl around his age and a well known exorcist from the east.

Another thread: According to prophecy, Rokuro and Benio are the "Twin Star Exorcists", and are destined to marry and have a child which will be the ultimate exorcist, capable of cleansing all evil spirits, or Kegare, from the world. When Rokuro's best ally Ryogo goes missing, Rokuro is compelled to ask Benio for help to enter Magano, the realm of the evil Kegare, to rescue him!

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Natsuki Hanae as Rokuro Enmadou and Megumi Han as Benio Adashino. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 50 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Studio Pierrot, which means the visual identity of Twin Star Exorcists follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.9/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Natsuki Hanae as Rokuro Enmadou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2016, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
