Since its A-1 Pictures, I guess they'll ignore the original material and continue adapting
from where they stopped (episode 17) like they did with Kuroshitsuji.


If they do that (which is most likely), they'll probably start after 15. While episode 16 was partly canon, they did add a lot of filler to it (the sword cracking, the black smith, the battle with the temple statues), and the only thing I remember of episode 17 being canon is the Order's decision that Rin has six months to past the Exorcist exam or be executed. If they do continue it after either 16 or 17, it should be interesting to see how they ignore the filler/alterations they did before.

Personally, I'd prefer it to be a remake also. The anime diverged in the very first episode (Rin didn't get to his job interview, no major church battle in the manga), and added a few filler episodes here and there (episode 6 and 11). And the episodes that were canon were altered somewhat (Ex. In the manga, Mephisto is the one to put a stop to Rin's rampage while in the anime it was simply Shiemi hugging him.).

Still, happy about the news. I'm hoping it follows more closely to the manga and that it doesn't dumb down the characters this time. I wonder though, how are they going to play the Kraken mission if they adapt it. They already had the Kraken in the filler episode 11.

I like Ao No Exorcist. The characters are so lovable, the story is great! and although the first season ended on a not so great foot it was a really good anime. The music was great too. I hope they use epic bands like Uverworld and Rookiez iz punked for the OSTs again. Their OP and ED were too amazing. I still listen to them to this day and get all hyped. I'm definitely gonna watch this. Please do a great job


I hope it has a good soundtrack. I loved the 2 OPs they had (Core Pride and In My World), didn't care so much for the EDs though. Take Off was okay, but I never liked the 2 ED.

(Note: For those who haven't read the manga yet and is looking to get into it, The Training Camp arc finished on chapter 15 in the manga. The Impure King arc starts on chapter 16 and ends on chapter 37. However, I highly recommend you start from the beginning since the anime diverged in episode 1 and altered the episodes that were canon.)

IMO, the rest of the Blue Exorcist manga that the show didn't cover is boring, so not hyped.

So they're gonna adapt the ark, ignoring the fillers just like kuroshitsuji:book of circus then

It's been almost 5 years since I've seen it, it's Durarara!! all over again (ʘ‿ʘ) (hopefully it turns out to be a better continuation tho)

I was seriously in love with Rin when I first saw it (and I mean it, with heart going dokidoki when I was about to sleep after watching some episodes and all that) so I'll gladly return to his world one more time. Can't wait!

When I saw this, I seriously freaked. Blue Exorcist is one of my favorite animes and I loved the first and second openings and the first and second endings. I am SO HAPPY to see that there will be a second season!

Yeah, one of my favorite manga, the first half of season 1 was brilliant, the second half was trash, I don't even know why ruining anime by adding fillers ? Just stick to the original material please.

Finally retconning the anime original bs. I thought that ending had sunk any chance of an anime reboot, glad that's not the case.

However, I'm wondering what they're going to do about the anime original ending and the movie or if they're just going to retcon it without even telling us it's retconned. I'm thinking they'll probably do the latter as there would really be no possible way to fit that into the manga continuity without looking completely idiotic.

Meh, I couldn't care less about this one. I heard the first season was butchered by A-1, like always... xD

yeah s1 ending was soooooooo f***** up let's just hope it's like Ao no Exorcist : The brotherhood where it follows manga faithfully
Honestly FMA '03 was more faithful to the manga. Didnt rush and cut content, and no added shounen gimmicks during serious moments.

Haven't watched the first season but heard mixed things about it; mainly that it wasn't faithful to the manga. Will S2 be any different?

Not sure if it's worth watching.
You can easily watch it up to Episode 15, this is where it stays pretty close to the source, so-called "anime-original content" (i.e. bad part) starts with Ep. 16.

0n topic: I have a mixed feelings about it. I liked the 1st half and immediately recognized when they started "original content" even prior to reading manga. But anime-original put the end to the story. So I'm partly glad, partly scared, because I can't imagine how it can even be a sequel. Hope they really just ignore the anime-original content and continue like the 2nd half never happened.
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Persona anime are good. Deal with it.

Well Noragami Aragoto did a similar deal with a second season being released where the filler ending of the first season was simply ignored and the show went back on track following the manga. It makes sense and seems to be a thing now which I definitely approve of.
