BLUE EXORCIST Returning To Television With Anime Set For 2017

In 2017, Blue Exorcist will be coming to television once again with a new anime. Crunchyroll tells us the new series will specifically cover the Kyoto Impure King Arc. The 18 chapter saga that appeared in the manga was not previously covered by the first Blue Exorcist anime, which only depicted events prior to that.

For the uninitiated, Blue Exorcist follows two brothers. One is the spawn of Satan and inheritor of his powers, and the other is his twin brother. The two seek vengeance against their biological father for killing their guardian. It gets more complicated, but that's the gist.

I'm excited to hear about this! At the very least, it gives me an excuse to go and binge the original series on Netflix! I'm wondering if Toonami will pick this one up like they did the first?
