More information has leaked concerning the 2017 TV anime adaptation of Blue Exorcist, which promises to present an adaptation of the Kyoto Impure King Arc. While A-1 Pictures remains the studio in charge, Deadman Wonderland's Koichi Hatsumi will direct instead of the 2011 series' Tensai Okamura.

Toshiya Ono (Perfect Insider, Gatchaman Crowds) and Ryota Yamaguchi are on writing compositing.

The cast remains unchanged.

Volume 17 of the manga is set to be released in Japan on July 4th, along with the August issue of home manga magazine Jump Square. At the same time, author Kazue Kato will be at LA's Anime Expo.
