That was actually quite entertaining even if there wasn't as much action as I expected. I liked it.
Rin taking care of Usamaro was really cute, not gonna lie. I have a soft spot for things like that.

I've watched HxH Phantom Troupe and Fairy Tail Houou no Miko and I thought this was more enjoyable to watch than those two.
I even missed the TV series a little bit...what a shame that A-1 butchered it.

Anyway, there were some parts from around 20 minutes all the way until the end that felt like they were just thrown around haphazardly like how did so much coal tar gather around suddenly?
Also, if Usamaro ate everyone's memories so they would skip work and go to the festival instead, then why did Yukio and the Taiwanese guy (sorry I forgot his name) not forget their job?

Honestly - did anyone want to just LOVE this movie but it kind of fell flat to you?? *raises hand* Don't get me wrong, GOOD movie - but definitely not great.

The art and animation was beyond fantastic dat festival, coal-tar and academy scenes, the music was good, and all the character interactions were adorable or emotional. Best part was that it was faithful to Katou's art style a looot more than the original series and looked gorgeous from beginning to end, seriously. Unff.



Did anyone also notice all the geeky references in Rin's dorm room?? Oh my gawd, Star Wars was there! Haha.

Anyways, I wasn't able to get attached to Usamaro - at all. The movie was barely an hour and thirty minutes so the entire first 10-20 minutes was literally setting up the theme/tone for the movie and Usamaro's debut. Then, you had to wait until the fluff was all done with to get to the real reason he was the way he was, it's applied to the story and then boom....it's the climax of the movie and then end. So, I couldn't be that sad at all at the end when everyone was crying or "having feels" - I just couldn't. I wasn't invested in his character that much.

I think it would have benefited from expanding more on or flushing out:


  • Usamaro's background and motivations
  • The-once-every-11-years festival
  • Cheng-Long Liu


Literally, those three things expanded on would have raised it from being a "pretty good move" to "amazing" almost instantly. I felt Cheng-Long Liu was just kind thrown in the movie for a 'badass' or 'cool' character archetype and to deliver one of the last lines in the movie that kind of made sense after the credits rolled and that's it. There also wasn't much action at all to be had save for the beginning and end of the movie.

So, I'm giving it a good solid 8. I'm also saying it's adorable, gorgeous, has good music but relies too much on style and 'moe' and lacks in terms of story overall.

Well, it was an enjoyable movie with great animation and music; I enjoyed watching it even though I already predicted what will happen to the story and I was right about it.
Usamaro voiced by Kugimiya Rie is adorable, too bad he died at the end. I will never forget the memories too~
It has been a while already since I watched the Ao no Exorcist TV Anime and it's good to see them again.
I'm really hoping for a second season and they should really follow the Manga this time!!!! I am going to read the Manga sooner or later :3
I am sleepy as fuck while watching this movie probably because I woke up early, but I still get the movie and its awesomeness. I guess I should sleep already. Thank you ^^

It's been a little over a year now since I've seen the anime so it was good to visit with these characters again. Story-wise, it was pretty good. Just with his time during the movie, I grew to like Usamaro more than the majority of characters in the show and even though I knew it was coming, it was sad to see him go. It was really lacking in action but the animation and soundtrack were great.

Would normally give it a 7 but since unlike a lot of the anime movies I've seen lately, it actually made me feel something I'll go up to 8.

I liked it from how it started it, it began with great animation and I couldn't help but to notice how good it was throughout the movie.
The naked time with the demon child weirded me out and I disliked it but I brushed it off.

Surprised to see whatshisface as a Paladin still, I woulda guessed the series happenings did something about that. OR so I assume this movie is set after the series.
And again with that puppet guy..wish he had more of a plot to him.

Overall, Rin makes a cool dad-figure.

Good animation, but the movie make me sleepy twice.
Its not like the story is bad, the story is good, but not that good.
Beside im not really get the ending.

What exactly happened after Usamaro ate the black matter? We only saw Rin wake in his room after that.
Did Usamaro really died?
How can Rin still remember him?
Why Cheng-Long Liu seems still remember something(Usamaro) ?

Since this is a movie I don't think that you need to read anything in the manga. Uhhh. In relatance to the actual series I don't think that there is any spoilers if you haven't finished the first season, either. Well, the scenes of the flashbacks with Daddy Shiro are in some of them but other than that there isn't anything that'll spoil the ending I don't think.

DUUUDEEE. This city is so beautiful. I have no idea where they are but it's just gorgeous. I love all of the detail in this city and the festival preparations are just wonderful. It's lit, fam. Rin, Yukio, and Shiemi are chosen to go on a mission where they have to stop the demon possessing the train before they go on to Gehenna. of course, Shiemi sees the ghosts inside and, with the help of Rin, go in and try to send off everybody's spirits to pass on leaving the perfect plan that Yukio had intended to go into ruin. HAHA. Of course. While they are going on their mission, Shura and the others, along with a new character that sounds like he's being voiced by Todd Haberkorn (Yes, I'm watching the dub because it's actually great), are there on another mission to seal off some sort of water gate.

Now with the train thing away, Rin falls into the water and gets out to find some sort of kid. There was a story in the beginning where daddy Shiro was telling baby twins about the story of a demon kid meeting up with a boy. I wonder if this is the demon kid.

OOOH. We get to see who the new guy is and he's definitely good-looking. HAHA. MAN. I knew that I saw Mephisto's bumpy face on those ads along the walls in the train station. DUDE. Yukio totally collided into that thing.

They were put in trial because of the destruction of the actions of trying to save those ghosts. Shiemi and Rin have five days suspension as well as a written apology while Yukio has a demerit. Is that guy---OH, IT IS A PEZ MACHINE. Liu. That demon kid. HAHAHA. He's such a rabid animal, mang. He just crawls on everything like a rat.

HAHAHA. Yukio can be so harsh sometimes but you know that he does it because he loves Rin. Like he was totally against him bringing in the little demon but he made all of these chart things because he thought that Rin could use the help. HAHA. The demon kid can totally talk now and that description that Rin said was so... helpful in thinking of the smell.

Danggg. Even with one arm that doesn't stop Yukio from being able to aim. Liu seemed impressed. HAHHAA. Yukio couldn't aim that Pez candy into his mouth. Oh. I wonder where they are living. The Kyoto boys are back. HAHAHA. THAT'S SO CUTE. They all take a shower together to help Rin clean the little demon. HAHA. Kamiki. Poor girl, getting her skirt lifted. He's so curious. OMG> AND THE TOWN. OMGGG. THIS IS SO GORGEOUS. RIN is cooking. What is this, Shokugeki no Soma? HAHA. Awwww.

I love the outfits that the Kyoto boys are wearing now. They look so nice. I wonder what that organization is.

Angel is back. Oh, he's the Man of the Year, apparently. HAHA. And Shura still calls him 'baldy'. AW. Amaimon is still so cute as the hamster. Shima is still the pervy womanizer. HAHA. Shima sees Miss Leana but she's got a speciality in bugs. Of course, Shima. HAHAHA. They always get splashed.

Rin is, like, babysitting Osomaru (?). I already forgot his name. I'm probably going to botch it again. Osomaru found the demon book that Shiro read to the twins back then. I am still wondering if this is about him. OH, IT IS. It's probably about him. OH, NO. WHY DO YOU GET SO CLOSE, OSOMARU. THAT'S CREEPY AS HELL. I wonder what he just did. Did he just make Rin forget that he even had homework? Man, Yukio. I hope that nothing bad happens to Yukio because Osomaru totally wouldn't like Yukio. What if Osomaru made Rin forget about Yukio like he had with the homework?

OMG. YAY. BASEBALL. I love it when baseball is involved!`` HAHA. Bon gets so fired up when Rin comes up. HAHAHA. SHIMA. YOU DIDN'T CATCH IT. Shiemi. What are you doing. HAHAHA. Kamiki is just walking. HAHA. Konekomaru helping Osomaru out. omggg. that's so adorable. The baseball game was a lot of fun.

The Kyoto boys continued to get splashed in different colors of goo and then hanging out with Rin and Osomaru during their lunch break. They're playing with the demon just like in the book. Uh ohhh. They're working those books---OMG. SHIMA IS TOUCHING A MOTH. WTF. POOR BABIES. THEY'RE BEING OVERWORKED. Osomaru really is innocent he's just got a childs' mindlike and wants to help. OH, NO. THAT CREEPY CLOSE-UP.

Whelp. Now everybody is going to the festival. Everybody forgot that they are going to be working and is at the festival now. Everybody is in full festival. Nobody remembers because Osomaru wiped his memory.

Man. This bunny festival is so nice. All of the scenary parts makes it really feel like a movie. Those memories. Omg. All of the ones that were from the actual series. DADDY SHIRO. OMGGG. WHOA. HE'S FORGOTTEN ABOUT DADDY NOW.

WHOA. Rin has reached out and grabbed onto the memories that Osomaru took away.

Wait. What if his name was spelled Usamaru. "Usa" like bunny. Omg. That's got to be it, right. Oh. So Liu is connected to them, of course. It was his people that had originally took into Usamaru but Usamaru is a demon still and feeds on the memories and their souls. Those little black soots are so cute, actually. Aww. Usamaru is still wearing his mask. He thinks that he's doing something nice. I can see that. He just wants people to be happy. I wonder where Yukio keeps all of those bullets.

Rin just grabs Usamaru by his ears. HAHA. Aww. And then tells Usamaru that since he just wants to make everyone happy that he's a good guy. Awe. Rin is so cute to Usamaru. omg. Don't shoot him, Yukio. HAHA. Rin says that he's going to have Usamaru to come live with him and Yukio as another brother but the look on Usamaru's face makes it seem like he's going to do something that'll probably sacrifice him. OH, those little boys from the beginning of the movie!

The boys are falling and Rin has them saved thanks to his sword. He's holding onto Yukio and Yukio is forced to use his injured hand but he drops his gun. OMG. Usamaru is totally going to sacrifice himself. The music in this anime is so frickin' good, mang. Ugh. Usamaru. Aw. He's reflecting. Omg. My heart.

AHHHH. HAHAHAHA. I SEE TEGAMI-BACHI IN RIN'S BOOKSHELVES. Everybody has forgotten Usamaru it seems like, well, besides Rin. omg. It's snowing. Is everything back to normal? uhhh.

Whelp. I've finished it. It was such a great movie. I love the sketches at the end.

Generic and cliche story, worthy of a Naruto filler movie.
The artstyle was very nice I guess but that's to be expected from a movie, 1/10.

Not a great movie, but it was still fun to watch.

I liked that Cheng-Long wasn't the bad guy in this. Not because I like him or anything, it's just these movies always seem to do that.

Pretty good overall but they gave way too many foreshadowing clues and as a result made the plot very predictable. Id say overall quality around on par with the rest of the first season.

and that makes, the last of Ao no Exorcist for me, here's hoping for a season three in the future.

I really liked the brother dynmic that developed between Rin and Usamaru ^^'
i was curious about that memory with the guy and the dog though, but we got what we got,

i became perfectly exhilarated when i potted Tegami Bachi on Rin's bookshelf, i really liked the tone of the anime of that one ^^'!

overall; nice movie, and it was interesting to see more "ugly" sides of the town as well .w. !

i liked it! itwas a pretty solid movie, not very original but fairly well executed imo. i melted over all the scenes with usamaro, he was SO CUTE T.T

i was kinda unclear on what happened at the end? did he rewind time or something so he would be resealed? the plot isn't super strong but i still enjoyed it so i'll go 7/10. it was relaxing to watch :)

Damn, they went all out on the art, significant improvement in detail of the city compared to the series.
That said, movies usually do and can afford it.

Pretty good movie though, enjoyable from start to finish.
I think Kugimiya, Rie did a really good job voicing Usamaro.

Man, why did they have to kill Usamarooo. I mean, I knew he was going to get killed or sealed because he's not canon and this whole movie is a filler, but still man. At least dont make his death that sad. At least (again) the taiwan first senior exorcist remembers Usamaro so Rin's not the only one :(. But again, Idk if this is canon or not. I'll give it either 6 or 7/10. It was kinda predictable, but still good.
P.S. Gave it an 8/10 caues it was too enjoyable for a filler movie.

Seeing Rin get along with Usamaro was just too adorable. It's so cute to see their relationship grow throughout the movie. I'm so sad we won't get to see more of it. :'(
Anywho, I'm not a huge fan of watching movies but I love this series and this was rather good!

Shiemi was stupid af,she's acting like a good person try to save ghost,as the result,the town almost got destroyed. Thinking to save dead people while forgetting that it could risk living people life. Mc as usual,an idiot that don't know how to act based on the situation. Yukio is the only resaonable character. This movie just 6/10 at best.

this movie is very good, they showed us some wholesome moments, the end was sad that Usamaro sacrificed himself for Rin, And that Rin wanted him to be his little brother but Usamaro Sacrificed himself to save the world and then everyone forgot about Usamaro but Rin didn't and I think Liu(the Upper First Class exorcist from Taiwan branch) didn't forgot it I don't know why maybe because of his Ancestors.

Overall I liked this movie.
