Synopsis

At True Cross Academy, Rin Okumura unknowingly comes across the first signs that something is amiss; ordinary people have been gaining the ability to perceive the invisible creatures that roam the human realm, Assiah. While Rin sees this as an opportunity to make a new friend, his twin brother, Yukio, is more burdened than ever. Swamped with his education, exorcist duties, and teaching position, Yukio has remained silent about his awakened powers, unable to understand their scale or significance.

While Rin and his friends prepare for the annual Exorcist Certification Exam, the True Cross Order has uncovered the first artificial gate to the demonic realm of Gehenna. Witnessing its size and the advanced technology that made it possible, the exorcists realize they are now dealing with the Illuminati, an extremely wealthy and powerful organization. Moreover, the inscrutable Illuminati have planted three spies in the True Cross Order—and one may be hiding among the aspiring exorcists sworn to protect mankind from the demonic threat.

And I can understand why it got low rating than other seasons, maybe because they changes of another studio or maybe storyline wasn’t that hyped or interesting for anyone, but one thing they actually did, is that they following the manga and not adding fillers episodes in as they did in the first season, which is amazing things, and yes I ...

Mixed Feelings
7 years since the last season... Was it worth the wait? Well... It's complicated.

This season was not made by the same studio as the previous seasons, A-1 Pictures. It was instead made by a much smaller group named Studio VOLN. Now, why does this matter? Because there’s a drop in quality in this season when compared to the last two.

Certain episodes feel rushed, some try to explain so much in a short amount of time. The plot has it’s moments where it can be a pain to follow, due to poor writing decisions, characters making frustrating choices or acting in an annoying way, and some… ...

I always had a soft spot for blue exorcist but this season was a disappointment unfortunately.

The animation was quite lifeless despite it being higher quality in terms of resolution and smoothness. I did love the demonic possession dance. But the og manga material carried a lot of weight in making it hauntingly beautiful, while the extra adaption scrapped by while being inflicted with many the flaws mentioned above.

There are some very good ideas in this season. Izumo's whole arc is very interesting, but it really faltered on the execution to the point of making her unbearably annoying when she doesn't have to be! ...
