The November issue of Shueisha's Jump Square magazine is announcing on Tuesday that a theatrical film anime adaptation of Kazue Katō's Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist) manga has been green-lit. The television anime adaptation of the supernatural manga is ending on Sunday.
Aniplex has been streaming the television series on Hulu, Anime News Network, Crunchyroll and Viz Anime in North America as it airs in Japan. Aniplex is also planning to release the television series in four DVD sets (pictured right) in October, January, April, and July. Viz Media will release the fourth English-language volume of the manga next week.
The story focuses on Rin Okumura, a boy raised by a famous exorcist named Father Fujimoto. After an argument between the two, Rin discovers he is the son of Satan. Rin decides to fight his fate by joining the True Cross Academy to become an exorcist and defeat demons. However, when he draws his father's sword, it releases a dark power within him.

Mike digs around in the dustbin of history looking for anime of dubious origin that may or may not actually be anime! 2011-10-23
Butterflies, Flowers GN 8Butterflies, Flowers has never been the perfect romance, but it has been consistently amusing. With a high humor count, some genuine emotional content, and a very happy ending, the series ends in a way that romance fans will enjoy.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood DVD Part 5Epic grandeur, vast imagination, real human consequences, and closure all around—you could hardly ask for more from a concluding volume. Except maybe that the grandeur make more sense, but that's nitpicking.
Monster Hunter Orage GN 1Don't be fooled by this book's T rating or Hiro Mashima's previous works. Despite the hack'n'slash premise and Mashima's busty art style, this is a series for the 8 to 10 crowd, and while older readers can enjoy it, it will find the warmest welcome within that younger demographic.
Arata: The Legend GN 7While Arata: The Legend is more than a shonen Fushigi Yugi, this by no means its best volume. Watase tries to do too much too quickly, resulting in a rushed, over-
K-With this novel the storyline steps beyond the animated content, spinning a new tale of the trials and tribulations of Lawrence and Holo as they seek stories of pagan gods in a northern village. It offers up healthy doses of everything that has made the series great so far.
Volume 52 of Naruto is not actually filler. The plot is moving forward … yet it's a bloated piece of hack-
Bad Teacher's Equation is a confused, confusing tangle of a story that drags when it isn't uncomfortable. Chalk it up as evidence that even the most accomplished storyteller needs time to hit her stride and read one of her later works instead.
Old Boy GN 2A story of tough guys doing tough things, but not in the way one might expect. Quiet, tense, and brutal when necessary.
