THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This was...actually quite awesome.

Seeing Rin again in anime form after all these years on TV is what I found rather refreshing. In the meantime, they reintroduced characters like Shiro, Shura, etc in quite a natural way.

The action was good, as I had expected. Seeing Yukio fight again (and some of his past) was definitely a pleasant sight to see. From what I understand, this is going to adapt the manga (much like from the first half of season 1) so I hope it will be faithful to what's to come soon.

Happy to see Shiemi and Bon again too!

Edit: for those wondering, pretty much have to watch the first season (at least the first half anyway) or it'll be really hard to enjoy this.

Right into the main story immediately, Fujouou's left eye?

The criminal they chased is fake and the real one is the one who falls into demon? He seemed to activate Rikuo's fear.

Departing to Kyoto for the right eye. Everyone's still afraid of him, except that tsundere girl.

Eyes themselves release strong evil aura... that's really a heavy problem if a demon got both of them.

OP aired at the end.

26:10 next.

How is the music? As good as the first season? Sawano is working with a kouhai on it so I wonder what kind of approach did they take.

As Stark700 said...can anyone tell/answer me a few questions without spoiling the Manga (the arc) obviously or put it under spoiler.

Long story short. I watched the first season, then realised the last few episodes were filler (I guess all of the 2nd half was then). So I bought the Manga, bought up to vol.7 I believe. Sold it, can't remember much as it was a few years ago now, but I do remember some stuff on this arc.

So this first episode was what chapter or volume?
Has the anime skipped any chapters?

I can't remember them on the shinkansen in the manga lol.

And where does the movie take place? As I forgot Rin's friends were afraid of him after season 1 but weren't they all ok in the movie? - I can't remember lol

If anyone can fill the void that be cool.

I know some people will be like does it matter etc. but I am just curious on how faithful this will be to the source material.

Thanks in advance.

When Shiemi came in, that was great, that really got me back into the Ao no Exorcist feeling.

Izumi surprisingly open about the reveal of Rin's flames. Very nice to see.

The others not so much, they were clearly afraid of having anything to do with him. I hope, they will make up quickly.

That moment when Exorcist was played *gasm*

That was a nice restart to the series.

I saw S1 so long ago, so my memory about it's events is still pretty hazy but I do remember the basic setting and plot outline. I'll probably read the manga upto this point by next week to freshen up my memory. As I remember it, S1's second half was mostly anime original so I guess there isn't a lot of manga material that I will have to go through before catching upto this.

In other notes, it was nice seeing all the characters again. :D
Yukio's determination to save that kid was pretty awesome.

Izumo blushing was so cute, It was real nice of her to try and cheer up Rin and accept him. :)

Looks we're going directly into the story, Left and Right eyes eh? Interesting. I'll enjoy this a lot more once I read up by next week. :D

As someone that picked up Ao no Exorcist lately and was pretty disappointed with the anime original route, it makes me happy to see this sequel coming out following the story, solid first episode.

Also, dat new OP by the same band that made the first one, I loved that song and this one was pretty good as well.

This was really cool. I can't imagine how the fans who've been waiting since 2011 must feel now, I just watched season 1 last year and was so excited with this.

It's really nice to see all the characters again, but I feel bad for Rin because everyone's treating him like that on the train. Although it was really funny to see Rin's reaction to when Izumo sat down next to him, she is a nice girl. I still hate the fact that after they knew about Rin being the son of Satan they started treating him that way.. He is still the same person. Also, do they forget that Yukio is also the son of Satan? Or is it just the flames and the power that bother them....? I mean I love Yukio but it's still very unfair.
Loved Yukio's scene and I hope he finally realizes he is an amazing exorcist!

The story was pretty cool too, I can't wait for more.

Events here are happening before end of season 1, so it seems at least, because of how they treat Rin and Yuikos blue flames seem not to have happened.

A-1 pictures did half of that season filler so that wasn't really canon

And what about long running series like One Piece, Naruto or Conan?

It's just a matter a 1-2 weeks before the ratings adjust themselves. People should atleast have this amount of patience.

And so it starts.
Good first episode.
Too bad I forgot most of the stuff that happened in S1. I don't even remember how
they fight demons anymore.
No continuing from the last fight of S1.

OP is great !! love it already.

Quality and animation is very good. Is that something I am allowed to expect from a modern anime?

So, how are they gonna do this? Kinda confusing if you watched S1 and just pretend like the last few episodes didn't happen.

Everything starts with chapter 16 volume 5.

The only thing that they skipped was like a 1,5 page of chapter 16 where Mephisto tells Suguro, Izumo and others in class that they are going to Kioto

So far they've adapted whole chapter 16 and a part of chapter 17

Yes, Shinkansen was in manga.

Well the move material wasn't in manga so you can call it anime-original. This episode takes place right after vs Amaimon fight.

So far I'm very pleased with adaptation, seems that we are going to get some good piece of anime art!

Don't bother watching episodes 18 - 25, they're not canon so after episode 17 of the 1st season you can just move straight on to this

Yeah yeah I know that but even if Yukio doesn't have blue flames or the same power as Rin, he is still a son of Satan. I totally get that the others are afraid of Rin due to the last season but I find it a bit unfair haha

I did some research. Season 1 episode 1-17 was all from the source material.
Are A1 ignoring episodes 18-25 or we just can ignore it. (I heard a few people saying A1 pretends it doesn't exist)

And yes I had a quick look and saw what you said the only skipped thing was Mephisto telling the class.

So this episode was exactly from the source material which they did say it would be.

Excellent job.

Thank you for the reply as well.

Seems that everything that happened after Rin's brother revealed to his friends that Rin is Satan's son was filler in S1.

Pretty good first episode. Glad to be watching Blue Exorcist again. Also glad to see my favorite anime OST of all time in this episode.

Quick question though. Is the left eye in the thief's hands now? I know they are going to Kyoto to defend the right eye but what about the left eye?

So glad A1 Pictures got rid of the underwhelming original route of the previous anime and decided to adapt canon material, since this path looks more interesting and believable that what happened in the first anime.

I'm surprised they decided to jump to the actual plot of the series that fast, since I thought this would be an introductory episode and the plot would have started in the next episode, but not, they did not only introduced the main plot of this season, but also the main antagonist too. This started good already.

It's seems Suguro, Shima and Konekomaru didn't forgave Rin like in the previous series and they still view him as something dangerous, who is totally understandable considering their past trauma. I really hope this season manages to fix their broken bond of a better way than the first season.
Izumo was also very kind to Rin compared to the others, happy her character development still remains, especially comparing her with her bitchy previous side (she's still a bit Tsundere). Shura is still best girl, however (and she looks even more beautiful than before).

I see the animation and art has improved a lot compared to the first series, who makes things much better (wish they would have did that to D. Gray Man Hallow). The new opening is great (as expected from UVERworld) and will probably end as my favourite one of this series.

This started good already, hope the next episodes manages to be even better.

overall view, imo, it was an okay start. it's not that bad and not really that impressive either. it was enjoyable. hope the animation will stay the same until the end. and i was kinda sad that they didn't continue it from the last episode. i was looking foward to it tho but okay. this one is pretty enjoyable too so looking foward to the next episode xD

and on another note, i miss this anime a lot xD
it still has the atmosphere from the first season. oh god, i missed this a lot actually xD

I'm actually a bit confused. This doesn't seem to take place after the ending of season 1. (I probably sound stupid) because first they were kind of okay with him being the son of Satan at the end.
But now the accident with Yukio doesn't seem to have happened yet.
So does this take place in between what happened with Yukio? Or is this a remake of the second half?
Well, at least I was happy to see Rin and Yukio again.
(I should probably finally read the manga, shouldn't I? It's probably better than the anime.)

Episodes 18-25 in S1 were anime-original. So basicaly everything that happened after vs Amaimon fight in S1 was fake.
This is what actually happened in manga.
