The original Blue Exorcist series saw streaming runs on a couple of services over the years including a lot of time on Netflix – and that was in addition to its extensive Toonami run. With the setup between Aniplex USA and Funimation now, the first first two seasons of the show have now made their way over to HBO Max for streaming. Each season is available in its Japanese with English subtitles form as well as its English language dub.
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.
