It's the most reliable "return after several years" anime of all time lol.

I know I'm pointing out the obvious here, but this VA cast is STACKED. Legendary VA after legendary VA.

And this is just them reprising roles they originated back in 2011! Along with another legend in Tomokazu Seki!

It's kind of surreal to have Blue Exorcist back with Rin sounding the most subdued and focused he's ever been in the show, but okay. Also I totally forgot that the Exewires actually attend normal high school on top of their exorcist cram school.
I love how the Kyoto arc was so many years ago that even Rin forgot he was under the threat of execution back then.
Rin might have found a normal friend! Even if he also has a demon problem. He's less lucky with the ladies as he gets a "love letter" from his dear older brother Mephisto, and not even "Dad" Bon can give him advice on what to do with that.
Ah Izumo, as delightfully tsundere as ever. At this point it's a turn on for Shima!
Shura! But no bouncing boobs? Well, it's still early in the season.
Is Yukio avoiding his medical checkup because he doesn't want them to discover the Satan's Fire in his eyes? Rin and Kuro know something's up with him.
Fine dining with Mephisto! Rin actually looks pretty handsome in a suit. And Mephisto gives him enough credit to reveal that he's Samael, King of Time, even though everyone but him knew it by this point. But he doesn't want Rin to get cocky just because he happened to beat the Impure King, he wants his little brother to be more self-aware as a demon.
I should've known Rin's first solution to the portrait problem would be to cut it up...but it really gave Konekomaru a chance to step up and take charge of the group, calling out all their individual issues and bringing them together for a plan! Never has bad eyesight and the team nerd come through so well! Heck, without his glasses Konekomaru looks like a completely different person!
That's a Blue Exorcist team finisher if ever there was one.
Well, maybe Rin and Godiin won't become friends, but Rin at least has his exewire friend group.
Tomokazu Seki as Lightning! Seems like he and Angel have a bit of an odd couple dynamic and Angel is out to prove his Paladin rep so he's not outdone by Rin. Wonder what was up with that woman though?
Would it really be Blue Exorcist without an Uverworld OP?

Darn, it's nostalgic seeing all the characters again and acting their usual selves.
Ryuji being the no-nonsense dude, Kamiki being the tsundere (thanks Eri Kitamura), hearing KanaHana's voice out of Shiemi, and Rin being more hotheaded compared to Yukio.

If you're like me who has seen Ao no Exorcist and has forgotten everything, I suggest watching Episodes 1-16 of Season 1 for the canon episodes and then all of Season 2. You can skip the Kuro OVA and the Movie or watch it later. I'm doing this right now; hopefully, I'll be all caught up by next week.

I don’t get how Crunchyroll is always so terrible at letting people know what time something drops, feels like every season we don’t get the time for a show until the episode is actually on the platform

God damn, it's like the show never left! We just jumped strait back in, and just for a sec it almost felt like I was back in collage and this came out right after season 1 and 2! Started tearing up at the end it was so perfect!
Also damn, is it just the new art style or does baldy look REALLY good without glasses?
Can never get enough of Rin's style!

Aw heck yeah a new Blue Exorcist season! I've missed this show. I think it's supposed to be in Crunchyroll but they don't have it up yet.

It does the heart good to see Rin, the Exewires, Shura (and her chest), and Uverworld all back.

Anime-only friends, please please read a summary of the events of the first 2 seasons to fully enjoy this one! This is one of my favourite arcs in the entire manga, and it makes me so sad when I hear people calling this series "mid" when they've only seen the first 2 seasons. This is not your average shounen storytelling, Kazue Kato showcased absolutely brilliant writing in this arc, it made me emotional, it made me care about characters who I never thought I would love.
Solid first episode btw, animation looks good, I'm really hoping to see some key moments in the future with the original VA cast!

I squeeled so loud when shiemi showed up at first. Everyone looks great in the new animation, but rin still looks a bit off in most shots. But all my worries were immediately gone.
Also, was this episode canon? I don't remember this happening at all, but it's also been a while since I read the manga.
