| Cool. Just wondering if it's gonna be a continuation and ignore the original bits of the first anime, or if it's something else. |
    |
| Meh, I couldn't care less about this one. I heard the first season was butchered by A-1, like always... xD |
| :3 |
| Didn't expect to see a new season but I am sure going to look forward to it! |

| Hm..I didn't like the first season but maybe this will be better |
| Awesome, I enjoyed the first series so hopefully this one will be good too. Guess it gives me an excuse to catch up on the manga now too. |
  |
| I waited this news for years *o* |
| HOLY HECK I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT A SEASON TWO POSSIBLY COMING AND HERE IT IS either way i should probably rewatch season 1 now, it's been years since ive watched it and because that was one of my first anime and probably my main introduction into the medium |
 |
| Well, time to watch the first season then. |
 |
| Been waiting for this for a few years. :') |
| I'm somewhat surprised by this. Well going to watch it for sure next year even though it's been a few years since I've seen the series. |
|
| Great. I was hoping for a remake actually since the end of the first season was shit. But i hope that this is gonna be great |
| Oh nice, I quite liked this one, so I'll be watching this! Time for a re watch. |
| 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. |
| FINALLY. Yes! I can't wait. I hoped the announcement would be a sequel. The series is way too popular to just get one season. |
 |
| OH MY GOSH I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS!! saw this on twitter a while ago, but i'm still so happy. really can't wait to see it!! |
| ..but they screwed up the ending in season 1, i hope they stick to the manga this time |
| maybe i'll actually finally watch the first season until then |
 |
| This news is a shock to me considering how the ending was for the first season. Not sure how they see even going to be able to adapt more of the manga properly. |
 |
| That's awesome to hear! |
| ITS TRUE GOD BLESS I have very fond memories of S1, so I'm really excited! |
  |
| I remembered Season 1 had an original ending that was terrible. I hope they follow the manga closely this time (but I got low hopes for this) |
| Enough material with King Impure arc for 2-cours ? |
| Damn I don't even remember the hell happened in first season nor the movie. Still nice I guess. |
 |
| I hope they did a remake instead. I did like the non-filler parts but I guess this is better than nothing at all. |
 |
| Yeeeees I hoped that the announcement would be a second season . First D.Grayman and now Ao no Exorcist , two of my favourite anime get a second season . I can't contain my excitement ! |
 |
| Great. Dunno why are people complaining about the first season, it was a lot better than the entire manga by far. |
 |
| >cue people saying the 1st season ending ruined the possibility of continuing the plot even thou it didn't Hope for 2 cour again. |
 |
| Pls let it be a remake, they have enough content to adapt now compared to the 2011 one. |
| I actually enjoyed the first season, then I heard the ending was an anime original so thought there wouldn't be an anime sequel so this is great news for me. |
| When I first heard about the countdown timer, I had a feeling this was coming. I guess this should be enough motivation to re-watch the first season to refresh my memory. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| THEY'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK |
| Yayyyy, more Rin. ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ good news |
 (THIS WAY FOREVER) |

I can't contain my excitement ! same here even though i am little disappointed with only 13 eps , so it's anime s:2 and not a game adaption as btooom nice . |
 |
| This is great news. as I loved the original series of Blue Exorcist, so I'm all for a sequel. |
| Dropped the first season after it was ruined by A-1. Will pass. |

| oH MY GOSHH :O i never expected them to make another anime bc it's been like... 5 years? i'm happy though ahhdshhhh :D |

| FINALLY!!! I can't believe it's S2 for real... since the news of countdown I was scared it might be another stage play or another live-action movie since it's popular now! but I'm so glad they decided to continue with this <333 well first season was original ending but I guess this is not a bother and I'm already used to this from A-1 Pictures xD they did this with Kuroshitsuji & Magi and now Ao no Exorcist xD I wonder if it's gonna be a 1 or 2 cour since they have enough material? well anything is welcome! the manga sales is really good that's why I was hoping for a new season and I can't believe it's happening! D.Gray-Man and now AnE <33 it was in the list of hope for season 2 after all xD I wonder if Pandora Hearts have any chance for a Re-make or new seaosn though >< |
| OMG I'm so hyped, I really loved this anime, and they really fucked up the end instead of just leaving it where it was and wait till the manga was more advanced or sth... I hope it's a 2 cour :D |
| after impure king arc... it was let down soo far.. not really hyped TBH.. but still will watch... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Totally did not expected that after so many years and after that ending. Great to know, though! |
 |
| Didn't expect a second season :o Will watch! |
| Oh god! I have waited 5 years!! HYPE!! HYPE!! Thank god I didn't read the manga. \(>u<)/ |
 |
| Unfortunately It's probably going to be 1 cour, Impure King arc isn't big enough for 2 cours |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
