I used to love Blue Exorcist when first season came out, really think I should've read the manga.

@TheSekiryuutei No you got that right mate. Most of the main cast were full of hypocrites and annoying characters. Specially his brother.

Not necessarily, it's just that season one went original after 17th or 18th episode, which they already compensated with then released second season, this time being faithful to the manga.

Series is already over a decade old, with inconsistencies in adaptation plus huge time gaps between the said seasons. So that's why a reboot might have been good. Though I'm fine anyways.

Looking pretty damn good tbh, might even look better than the first 2 seasons. Time to rewatch the anime I guess...

And people were hoping for a reboot... it isn't even A-1 pictures anymore.

Though good anyways, a third season and this early too at that.
