Ao no ekusoshisuto: Kyoto fujô ô-hen

This was my second anime after Seven Deadly Sins. That was back in 2018. I had fallen in loved with it but hated the ending because it meant there was only one season. However, the "series finale" was just an anime only finale. The true anime that matches the manga after episode 15 of Blue Exorcist is this show right here!!

Please note to watch the first 19 episodes of the first season before entering this.

Rin and friends go to a temple to investigate a family between Shima and Ryuji's family as well as a crisis. Meanwhile Rin is still learning how to use his flames and gain trust from his friends again.

I am going to conclude by saying if you enjoyed the blue exorcist anime I am sure you will enjoy this.

No clue why this is rated lower than the first season-- it is a bit of a perspective shift to start at an earlier point than where the first season ended, but the writing is so much better! I though the climax of the first season was rushed and not giving a lot of the cast what they deserved (still fun though). This season fleshes out so much more of the cast, and really dwells upon the BIGGEST conflict of the series-- how Rin's friends feel about him being the son of Satan! I felt this was too brushed over in season 1, too, but this season really gets into drawing out the tension, and ultimately creates a more believable conflict for the characters to grow through.

I rated season 1 at 8 stars. ;)

The story in kyoto saga is much much better than Blue exorcist released in 2011. one one one combats are good, and the use indian instruments and Indian Fire relating terma like AGNI, OM (Indian God SHIV), SAMADHI (related to burn something to ashes) all of these were not just made up but very true and real. I'm glad i got to watch it

THIS IS NOT BLUE EXORCIST!

I really like the original Blue Exorcist series from 2011-2012, but they're obviously trying to ruin the almost every single character in this part. Most of them are irrational, and down right stupid, one important character from the original tv show is a thief and they spend a lot time talking when they should be acting even in the big fight. Ren acts like a childish bully insted of incourage his friend, and most of them have skills/powers they never shows before or after, even thou this is suppose to take place after episode 17. Seems like some really bad fan fiction.

I gave the real Blue Exorcist 7 stars.
