Regular copy-paste shounen based on manga.

I'm on ep 16 by now, but I feel like I can already make a clear un-biased reviex on this anime, here goes nothing.
Story: not that original, different settings, yet the son of satan-exorcist-other face of the catholic church theme is way too used by now, could have done better.
Dialogue: major failure as every damn shounen. "Let's be friends!" "I'm here for you!" "Oh no! I touch her hand! hope she doesn't get pregnant!" "Me, the random generic hero will defeat the random generic villian!" Get the idea? nothing new here, been there, done that. I wished really bad for the mohawk dude to keep antagonizing the protagonist, but deep down I knew it won't happen. Just another random shounen where world peace is attained in the end, the bad guy dies and all the happy ever after things.
Animation: The only plus. Man A-1 Pictures know how to do their job it comes to animation. Wanna see mindblowing graphics and amazing fight sequences? This is your anime, if you don't care for the history and the dialogue.
Entertainment: Meh... it's good to burn idle time, but if you wanna see some real anime about occult things and other what not in this series I'd recommend other animu.
Overall: It's another so-so shounen anime for the mindless masses, excellent animation but lacking in other departments, if the plot wasn't so predictable it may have caught my eyes, yet it's not the case.
Recommended anime: Don't know if I can do this or not, but I think this makes the review more useful. If you want to watch a series with this themes I'd recommend you this series, from good to better (LOL): D.Gray-Man, Hellsing, Witch Hunter Robin and Ghost Hound.
