So Season 2 does begin in April after all. The late March release is for the folks with bad memory.

And yet "Blue Exorcist" just dives right into the Impure King Arc assuming you watched the old series six years ago.

What a worthless episode, waste of a perfectly good week. This recap is totally pointless and a waste of money on top of that.
What's wrong with that? Its a continuation of the story so the only people watching it are the ones who saw the old series. |

I love the way Blue Exorcist is handling its second season, but I don't think that's a very fair response. Blue exorcist did not just expect you to remember the first season. It expects you to know at what point the original became filler, remember only exactly what happened up to that point and throw the rest out the window. The second season also opened with problems going on between the cast that had been at least somewhat worked out in season 1. The approach is the exact same as Black Butler Book of Circus, which is great for fans of the source material, like myself, but it is fair to be somewhat confused, even for a fan. Even using a show like Fullmetal Alchemist as an example, if you're a fan of both anime and the manga, it can be very easy to get to the point of actively have to think to remember how things work and differ between adaptations. |

That's a decent summary, but it doesn't capture the pure joy in every episode and the fantastic side characters that really made it fun to watch (I'll take your suggestion of homeroom teacher as best character and raise you frog girl as bestest character!) Too bad they're wasting an ep on recap--it's not like the first season ended on an anime original arc and expects the audience to follow the manga (*cough* Blue Exorcist should have found some way to untangle its plot points for anime-only fans). I wonder if they'll number the recap ep as "0" and if it will impact the overall episode count. |

They're not "wasting" an episode on recap. This episode is going to air a week before most anime premiere, so it doesn't mean that they made the season shorter because they didn't make enough episodes and the production team is trying to stall for time, since the anime is going to actually have the first episode at a regular date, in fact, it's one of the earliest (April 1st).
In fact, this episode will even have added scenes, unnecesarily so for a recap, so I'm fine with this. |

Since it's been a year between seasons, they are airing a recap with added scenes a week early to catch people (old fans and new) up to speed and generate hype for the upcoming season.
Seems perfectly reasonable and a smart move in general. Looking forward to it! |

You know it's funny, I watch my fair share of anime year round but Boku no Hero was SO highly anticipated last year and delievered in fantastic fashion that it's only right a big fan such as myself couldn't possibly forget S1. So even though I'm fine with the recap, whether it's necessary is just another conversation or formality if you will.
Speaks to how great S1 was. I'm saying I don't think a lot of people could forget it. This must be purely for the sake of newcomers. Again this is coming from a big fan and weekly manga reader. |

That's how I prefer it, honestly. Going from [x] episode of one season to [y] of another flows better imo. This recap probably just exists to save the animators time to get episodes 2-8 ready for airing. |

Well, at least it's not like "Hunter x Hunter," where it had a recap every ten episodes. |

Hunter x Hunter had only two recap episodes, episode 13 and episode 26, it did not have any afterwards. |
