Blue Exorcist

Seventy-three episodes, and the 2017 season rewinds and re-tells the end of the 2011 one rather than continuing it.

Where to start with Blue Exorcist

Watch season one up to the point it leaves the manga, then go straight to Kyoto Saga, which re-tells the rest of it properly. The original ending is watchable afterwards as a dead end. If you would rather not think about it, watching all twenty-five first costs you nothing except seeing one arc resolved twice.

  1. 1
    Season one, 2011 Blue Exorcist

    Twenty-five episodes. The first fifteen to seventeen adapt the manga and the rest is an anime-original ending that the franchise later abandons. Sources do not agree on exactly which episode the break is, so this page does not pick one.

  2. 2
    Kyoto Saga, 2017 Blue Exorcist

    Twelve episodes that go back and adapt the Impure King arc from the manga, which is the material season one replaced with its own ending. This is the real continuation.

  3. 3
    Shimane Illuminati, Beyond the Snow, The Blue Night Blue Exorcist

    Twelve each, 2024 and 2025, straight through in that order. Depending on the source these are three seasons or two, because the last two aired back to back.

  4. 4
    The 2012 film, any time Blue Exorcist: The Movie

    Anime-original and self-contained. It fits best during the school-life stretch of season one and spoils nothing.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
