| "From the first sight normal high school student, Yukimura Tokine, and the middle schooler, Sumimura Yoshimori. To protect the land of Karasumori is their lifelong job, passed down through their families for generations."
Kekkaishi is your usual shounen action show which tries to be original by implementing the whole new fighting technique for its characters - kekkai. Unfortunately, it is exactly that idea which made Kekkaishi much more boring than it should have been. Quite frankly, luring your enemies into deadly cubes isn't the most exciting way to fight... I mean kekkaijutsu (barrier techniques) are originally for protecting stuff. It's almost as if the main characters here fight their enemies with shields. Anyway, the fact that there is almost no hand to hand combat in this show completely turned me off. Also almost the whole first half of the show follow monster per week formula, though there are some episodes which give little insight in that things going to become bigger later (weird things monitor how our guys are fighting monsters and later report that info to "someone"). Unfortunately, even in the second half, when the story finally picks up its pace it doesn't get much more exciting. And of course, boring way of fighting is mostly to blame here. Thankfully the show spurts characters who aren't completely annoying, so it's not really painful to watch.
Either way there are a lot of better shounen shows around, one should only give Kekkaishi a shot after running out of the really good ones to watch (check out Rurouni Kenshin TV, Hunter x Hunter, Scryed).

| I loved this anime, and I will forever have the opening theme song stuck in my head. It had a good balance of humor, suspense, and action. The animation is fair and the plot is interesting. It even made me cry a little. Good for younger children, teens, and adults. I really wish there was a second season.

| Kekkaishi is an awesome, dramatic, monster-fighting anime with a very good plot and excellent characters that is well written and thus easily kept me interested throughout its 52 episode run.
Highly recommended!

| The chemistry between the characters is what makes me want to follow this anime. They have cute moments that are hard to hate and the storyline arcs compliment it well. The only weakness maybe the storyline since its not entirely detailed, some episodes feel like fillers.
