Ao no Exorcist: Kuro no Iede

This is special ova Episode is a bonus chapter from volume 6 chapter 23.5 or 25.6 it's between Kyoto saga Episode 5 and 6 if you care about about manga order every one says it's a filler Episode which is wrong as this is part of the manga. The is really wholesome to watch sweet and sad if you love kuro then watch this of you don't like kuro then watch this and maybe you will love kuro.

This is best watched after Episode 10 of Season 1 Episode 11 is filler and can be watched after either 10 or 11.

Just know most of ... the Episode has filler because the bonus chapter run away kuro is so short like 5 minutes or so if they adapted it with out filler but the filler makes its much better.

Ao no Exorcist: Kuro no Iede (2011)

As far as a special goes this is definitely up there in the best.

After Kuro our favorite cat demon gets slighted by Rin and Yukio for different reasons Kuro storms off in a huff to find a new owner. After meeting a few people and not getting the treatment he wants since no one can understand him apart from a select few he finds himself looking for his old owner. We have an adventure of him finding his way to Shirou who is deceased. In the end we have a nice reunion and Kuro has his own revelation ... after the misunderstanding is cleared up with a comical hug in its giant cat form.

The art is the same as the main series.

Sound also doesnt really differ we just hear Kuro's inner voice vs his meow.

Kuro is developed nicely during this and you understand him better. He is a typical cat regardless of what he really is.

The OVA is enjoyable and definetly worth a watch. Probably worth watching after the 1st 12 episodes as opposed to after season 1.

Overall, it is a fun enjoyable episode with some good laughs.

This short special has a special place in my heart. It brings more to the character of Kuro, and gives him a bit more depth. With this anime, I will always appreciate more character depth.

Otherwise, it doesn't bring much more to the series as a whole. If you've seen the anime, it's worth watching. Otherwise, watching a special about the anime doesn't work very well.

The art is a stunning as usual, the voices are perfect, and all together give a lot of enjoyment.

Overall, I rate this a 9. Please, if you've seen the anime, give this small special a go. You can easily ... just skip it, but I suggest if you want to see more of Kuro, not skipping over this special.
