Funimation is continuing to load up some projects on iTunes for purchase with a growing digital library of anime titles. They’ve now brought over the first two seasons of Twin Star Exorcists for availability where they’re in both their Japanese language editions and the English language dubs. The dubbed side has the seasons priced at $26.99 in HD and $17.99 in SD. The shows are priced down a bit from the simulcast/simuldubs that were loaded previously and come from the home video editions which likely have cleaned up subtitles and likely the home video updates as well.
Check out our review of the first set.

Plot Concept: He vows to never use his powers—she wants revenge for her family. But when a prophecy states that 14-year-olds Rokuro and Benio will be the parents of the child destined to save the world, things don’t go as planned. Only their combined powers can defeat the invasion of monsters from another realm. Which means that before these two can have a baby, they’ll have to raise a little hell.
