Ao no Exorcist Movie (2012)
A festival that happens every 11 years is coming up. It is for one to help refresh the magical barriers around the city but also to celebrate. During the process a demon damages a shrine with the help of Rin being cocky as usual. A boy in the rubble appears with ears and a tail. This boy demon is then given to Rin to look after and they get close with a friendship. Turns out the demon is not with bad intent but does cause chaos. In the end it is all set right again and we have a good story that I shall not spoil.
The art used is the same as the main series which is great for its setting. It is nice seeing some of the old city parts in a different style of background animation.
The Sounds used as usual are excellent and satisfying to hear. Fights are done really well with the chaos that ensues with them being great too.
Character development is the same as before. The little demon Usamaro (named by Rin) is developed nicely. We see many characters especially at the festival climax in a relaxed but yet nice setting.
The movie is enjoyable and takes from season 1 a really nice pace and great story. It does bring some heartfelt moments and also great action.
Worth a watch for sure. Great to see Kuro as usual and Izumo being cute.
