Hey guys! Let’s talk about the news that is making the anime community super excited: the premiere of the 3rd season of Blue Exorcist! Mark your calendar: January 7, 2024, at 12:30 pm Japan time, which for those outside of there, means January 6th at 9 am Pacific time. The anime will be broadcast on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV and other channels.
The End of the Long Wait
After seven years of waiting, we will finally be able to see the continuation of the story. The season will feature the Shimane Illuminati arc, straight from Kazue Kato’s mythological fantasy manga. And, look, Studio VOLN is behind this production, so you can expect something of quality!
Izumo and His Tragic Past
The new season, called “Blue Exorcist: Shimane Illuminati Saga”, promises a rollercoaster of emotions. Let’s delve into Izumo’s tragic past, and people are already counting down the days to see it.
Where to Watch?
For those in the Southeast Asia region, Muse Communications acquired the screening rights. But what about Crunchyroll, Hulu and Netflix? They have not yet confirmed whether they will broadcast. The anxiety is great!
Strong Cast and Crew
The team is full of talents. We have Daisuke Yoshida steering the ship at Studio VOLN, with Toshiya Ono handling the scripts. Yurie Oohigashi is in charge of character design and for music, Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto are outstanding. UVERworld returns with a vengeance for the theme song “Eye’s Entry”.
The Star Cast
The voices we love are back! Jun Fukumiya as Yukio, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Rin Okumura, Eri Kitamura as Izumo, and Hiroshi Kamiya as Mephisto. And there’s more: Kana Hanazawa, Rina Sato, Kouji Yusa, Kazuya Nakai… a great bunch of people!
Expectations for Episode 1
Season 3 will cover volumes 10 to 15 of the manga. The first episode will show Mephisto revealing his true identity to Rin Okumura, and an important mission is coming. Furthermore, get ready for memorable moments with Rin’s friends and the presence of Lewin Light, who will play a crucial role in this new phase.
So, are you looking forward to this premiere? I can barely wait!
