As revealed during AnimeJapan 2024 over the weekend, there’s more Blue Exorcist anime to look forward to later this year. A sequel series was announced for the new Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga anime, with the next chapters set to debut this October. The new anime will be known as Blue Exorcist: Yuki no Hate-hen (At the End of the Snow Chapter).
You can see a quick promo for what’s next:
Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga kicked off on January 6, 2024, and is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll. Daisuke Yoshida is directing, with Toshiya Ohno on series composition and Yurie Daito handling character designs and chief animation direction for the Studio VOLN production. Music comes from KOHTA YAMAMOTO and Hiroyuki Sawano.
Based on the manga by Kazue Kato, Blue Exorcist previously aired two TV anime seasons, and there was also an anime film.
Crunchyroll describes it like so:
Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but the demons are now intruding on the material world.
