About Blue Exorcist Specials

Blue Exorcist Specials (青の祓魔師 裏エク) blends action, fantasy and supernatural by A-1 Pictures (2011). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Ura Eku, extra short anime included in Blu-ray and the DVD releases of Ao no Exorcist.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Rin Okumura (Nobuhiko Okamoto) and Yukio Okumura (Jun Fukuyama) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 10 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

A-1 Pictures is the studio behind Blue Exorcist Specials, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Nobuhiko Okamoto voicing Rin Okumura gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2011, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
