Managa Entertainment Bringing Rin Okumura's BLUE EXORCIST This August

A lot of teens are embarrassed by their parents, but Rin Okumura has more right than most - his father turns out to be Satan himself! Combining sizzling action scenes, quirky comedy and luscious art design, Blue Exorcist follows Rin on his quest to become the strongest exorcist at the True Cross Academy so that he can give his demonic dad the ass-kicking he deserves.

Quick tempered and fond of a good scrap, 15-year-old Rin Okumura has grown up being called a ‘demon child’ but it's still a shock to discover that he is, in fact, the literal son of Satan. When his guardian, Father Fujimoto Shirou, dies defending him against demons, Rin defies his Hellish heritage and enrols at the True Cross Academy, determined to become the world's strongest exorcist.
Starting any new school is a challenge, but Rin's got it tougher than most. Not only must he master his deadly demonic powers and fight the forces of darkness, but Rin also finds himself in the unenviable position of being instructed by his genius twin brother Yukio, who is already a teacher at the Academy! Then there's the question of how Rin's fellow classmates - shy Shiemi, hot-blooded Bon and haughty Izumo - will react if they ever discover his true parentage…

Blue Exorcist is a genuine all-rounder, an anime that's equally at home with hi-octane fight scenes, fast-paced comedy, bittersweet drama and even a dash of romance. Starring a strong pair of protagonists in Rin and Yukio, the shonen series also features a substantial supporting cast, gorgeous graphics and surprisingly deep character development. All in all, Blue Exorcist is one Hell of a show.

Manga Entertainment are bringing this one to UK&Ireland and August 20th is the day of reckoning, check out the film' trailer below.
