Studio Pierrot isn’t known for taking long breaks and their newest show Twin Star Exorcist is already one of the most hyped anime of Spring 2016.

Imagine living in a world where scary monsters keep showing up in front of you. Now imagine having to become an exorcist and fighting these monsters even though you’d rather be doing something else. Picture earning the title Twin Star and not only having to fight alongside a female partner, but also having to marry her and birth the next warrior. What sounds like a terrible fate becomes reality for Rokuro Enmadou.

Twin Star Exorcist promises a lot of interaction between the main cast as well as great character developments. We can only wait and see what Studio Pierrot has come up with, but their short trailer already looks promising.
