The Blue Exorcist anime is based on the manga by Kazue Katou. It began being serialized in Jump Square magazine in 2009. The first season of the anime debuted in spring 2011, but it contains the anime’s original final arc (episodes 16-25). In 2012, the movie Blue Exorcist Movie was also released. Season 2 titled Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga aired in Winter 2017. It skipped the anime-only arc from the prequel and continued adapting the manga’s plot. A side story titled Blue Exorcist: Kuro’s Trip Away From Home also exists, along with a 2-episode OVA from season 2. A-1 Pictures animated the entire film adaptation. The main cast includes:
- Nobuhiko Okamoto vào vai Rin Okumura
- Jun Fukuyama vào vai Yukio Okumura
- Kana Hanazawa trong vai Shiemi Moriyama
- Eri Kitamura vào vai Izumo Kamiki
