On This Day in Anime

These ten short episodes were the perfect palate cleanser for those who loved the dark, action-packed world of the Blue Exorcist. By focusing on low-stakes humor and the daily interactions between characters, they provided a welcome shift in tone that felt both familiar and fresh.

Even in such short bursts, the show’s personality shone through. A-1 Pictures utilized these episodes to highlight the quirks of the cast, making them feel more like people and less like soldiers in a holy war.

They remain a fun, lighthearted footnote in the franchise. For viewers who prefer their supernatural drama with a side of genuine laughter, these shorts are a great reminder of why the characters were so easy to root for in the first place.
