When I saw that there would be a panel for Blue Exorcist on the Jump Festa schedule I assumed this would be their big announcement, otherwise there would be literally no legitimate reason to give it a panel lol. I'm just wondering if this will continue from where the previous season ended or if it'll be a Brotherhood type thing.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Okay, I didn't see this coming, like at all. I do hope they continue the anime from where it was left, I know many didn't like the second season, but I did enjoy it. Also bring more of Shura.

According to Oricon, Blue Exorcist TV Anime New Series will *NOT* be the 3rd Season of the original anime adaptation, but is stated as a 'new animation work'. https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1604396814593298432

Now this one was really unexpected. I watched the old season and never bothered with anything else. Was just kinda boring all around. But glad for the true fans of the series to see them get more animation.

I would never thought that this anime would receive a season 3
Loved season 1 when it first came out, unfortunately in season 2 they had to retcon a bunch of stuff since season 1 ending isn't canon, so season 2 wasn't very good (or maybe it was season 1 that actually fucked everything up)

Reboot with the same voice actors and good animation would be something amazing.

Well this was unexpected, I remember watching the first season that ended with an anime original ending and I didn't bother with the second season. I'm surprised to see this manga still going and its still popular right now. I always felt that Blue Exorcist had a lot of potential and there was a lot of hype for it when the first season came out, but they dropped the ball with the anime original ending. This series can really benefit from reboot if that's what they are going to do.

That's cool and all. But Twinstar Exorcists is the anime that really needs a new anime series, as the anime is such a poor adaptation of the manga, with a filler ending. The manga has 100+ chapters now. Blue Exorcist could've just gotten a third season instead (didn't like the second season myself). But if this new anime series really is a remake, then keep those anime remakes coming.

Blue exorcist season 2 was really good. But i didn't like first season especially the latter half (even dropped that half way, before continuing again).
Hope this adaptation is faithful to manga and atleast eventually adapt the newer content instead of some crappy original


Ok it's seem pv should indicates its a sequal rather than reboot (that's nice 👍)

It's been years since the second season came out. I had a horrible time watching the first season and there's no way I'll be watching this. I feel sorry for everyone who will honestly.

I didn't even bother starting the second season because the first one was already enough.

Thankfully, a new blue exorcist anime, although this seems to be not a 3rd season. I wanna see Illuminati arcs, Blue Night investigation and Remembrance arcs animated. (」°ロ°)」

For an anime that is the 36th most popular on this website, it feels like nobody ever talks about it.

I really hope this continues adapting the manga, and isn't a reboot or original story. The anime is behind enough as it is.
