Season 1

Of course, the best place to start is with the first Season. Season one has twenty-five episodes and adapts volumes one through four of the manga. It sets up the series as a whole, introduces the world of Blue Exorcist, and establishes the characters. It also finishes on a huge cliffhanger and conflict for the series.

Manga

Yeah, this is a watch guide. However, it’s impossible to talk about Blue Exorcist as an anime without mentioning its manga. The manga currently has twenty-seven volumes, and the anime has only covered nine of them.
