Twin Star Exorcists (2016–2017)
4/10
Its barely acceptable. I do not recommend watching this.

Warning: Spoilers
I'm on the 8th episode and I'm not sure if I want to continue watching it or not. I just want to let the writers know that they really failed to create a likable protagonist. The guy is weak in every sense of the word. He is socially weak in every situation he's been in so far, he allows everyone to trample all over him. Even his past. Remember when the head priest urinated on his beloved dead friends? The guy smiled when the ordeal was over. I was 100 percent sure he was going to clock the guy for talking about his precious friends in such a clearly provocative and offensive way. He openly mocked their deaths to the entire Exorcist order. What did the protagonist do instead? He smiled when the guy apologized. He's weak! You can't have a protagonist be plagued by a traumatic experience (especially friends that died) and not have him defend the honor of those involved. It really made a statement when he simply took the emotional and psychological abuse and then smiled when the priest said something along the lines of ''I was trying to provoke you, I didn't mean it''. He SMILED! Who does that? Why would you not have him act offended, give the guy a punch in the face and then say ''Apology accepted. But if you ever speak of them that way again I will not stop at breaking your nose, hentai-priest-sama.''

Also, he can't think for himself in times when it matters most. Its just bad writing. You have a guy that can one shot anything yet refuse to actually become stronger in any other regard (agility, wisdom, knowledge, social competence w/e). I do not recommend this series. A protagonist should be honest, seek strength, seek to protect, sacrifice himself for the greater good and be respected for it. Not trashed by everyone else in the entire series. Heck, even I can give him more complements than his closest friends and I don't like the guy. I can only assume that its supposed to be funny. But seriously, am I really expected to respect the main character when no one else in the series does? As I said, its bad writing and its a shame really.
