First and second season were good, so looking forward to this one. Seems they prefer to have 6-7 years between seasons lol

I really hope this continues adapting the manga, and isn't a reboot or original story. The anime is behind enough as it is.

It’s been like ten years since I saw the original season lol

I’m hoping for a reboot. The first & second seasons were complete ass. And this is coming from someone who thought the manga was pretty good.

Id prefer a new season rather than a reanimated version.

Finally we will have a continuation, this was one of my first animes!

Finally ! I thought it was dropped for good, hopefully it's not. I can't wait to watch it. The serie is really underestimated. Thanks for this good news :D

For an anime that is the 36th most popular on this website, it feels like nobody ever talks about it.

Yknow, I always thought Blue Exorcist was some late 2000s shounen but the last season aired like five years ago lol

Is it true that high school DxD get season 5 ?

I'm very confused and intrigued by this not being called S3....But either way, I'm glad that its back finally

Thankfully, a new blue exorcist anime, although this seems to be not a 3rd season. I wanna see Illuminati arcs, Blue Night investigation and Remembrance arcs animated. (」°ロ°)」

It's been years since the second season came out. I had a horrible time watching the first season and there's no way I'll be watching this. I feel sorry for everyone who will honestly.

That's freaking out of nowhere. I remember dropping the second season few years back, though might've to pick it up again.

I didn't even bother starting the second season because the first one was already enough.

Blue exorcist season 2 was really good. But i didn't like first season especially the latter half (even dropped that half way, before continuing again).
Hope this adaptation is faithful to manga and atleast eventually adapt the newer content instead of some crappy original

Ok it's seem pv should indicates its a sequal rather than reboot (that's nice 👍)

That's cool and all. But Twinstar Exorcists is the anime that really needs a new anime series, as the anime is such a poor adaptation of the manga, with a filler ending. The manga has 100+ chapters now. Blue Exorcist could've just gotten a third season instead (didn't like the second season myself). But if this new anime series really is a remake, then keep those anime remakes coming.

Seriously out of nowhere, that's a Jump Festa announcement for you.

I prefer a continuation, however, if it is an improved version, that will be great for me too.

Literally one of my first shows in my first years of anime, I have a lot of nostalgia towards it. Looking forward a looooooooot
