Set at a time when True Cross Academy is in the midst of preparing for a festival celebrated every 11 years, a mysterious demon named Usamaro suddenly appears. Since Usamaro's appearance, strange events have been happening across True Cross Academy. It's up to Rin and the other exorcists to figure out what is going on before their city falls apart.
Aniplex held the U.S. premiere of the film with English subtitles at Anime Expo in July.
Aniplex of America released the Blue Exorcist television series on subtitled DVD in North America, and the company will re-release the series with dual audio on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in two sets in July and September. Viz Media's North American streaming service Neon Alley is currently airing the series in dubbed format.
