The new anime season of Blue Exorcist is titled Yuki no Hate-hen (Beyond the Snow arc) and it will premiere in October 2024. The announcement was made at the show’s Anime Japan 2024 stage, and you can see the teaser visual below.
Studio VOLN animated the Shimane Illuminati Saga, with Daisuke Yoshida as the director. The anime ran for 12 episodes from January 6 to March 23. The new sequel was announced yesterday after the final episode.
Blue Exorcist anime is based on a manga by Kazue Katou. It started serialization in Jump Square magazine in 2009. The first anime season aired in Spring 2011, but it featured an anime original final arc (episodes 16-25). In 2012, a Blue Exorcist movie was released. The second season was titled Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga and aired in Winter 2017. It ignored the anime-only arc from the prequel and continued to adapt the manga’s storyline. There is also a side-story titled Blue Exorcist: Kuro’s Trip Away From Home, as well as 2 OVA episodes from season 2. A-1 Pictures animated the whole adaptation. The main cast includes:
- Nobuhiko Okamoto as Rin Okumura
- Jun Fukuyama as Yukio Okumura
- Kana Hanazawa as Shiemi Moriyama
- Eri Kitamura as Izumo Kamiki
The manga is available to read on MangaPLUS, and you can read its synopsis below:
Raised by Father Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura never knew his real father. One day a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth–the blood of the demon lord Satan runs in Rin’s veins! Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself. Can Rin fight demons and keep his infernal bloodline a secret? It won’t be easy, especially when drawing his father’s sword releases the demonic power within him!
