The original Blue Exorcist series had been on Netflix for a good bit of time but it ended up expiring in May. While Aniplex USA often does fairly quick turnarounds on a lot of shows, some they let lay fallow for a bit or rotate to other services for awhile. The series has now quietly returned in Netflix with its original 25-episode run available in Japanese, English, and French languages along with English, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, or French subtitles.
Plot Concept: “Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can exorcise such demons.” – the Exorcists.
Rin Okumura and his twin brother Yukio have been raised by Shiro Fujimoto, an eminent priest, so it comes as a shock when Rin discovers their biological father is actually Satan! As the border between “Assiah” (the human world) and “Gehenna” (the demon world) is crossed by evil, Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his own father. To hone his raw skills, Rin enters True Cross Academy to train with other exorcist candidates.
