The official website of A-1 Pictures' Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist) television anime series began streaming the anime's fifth television commercial on Sunday. The anime adapts Kazue Katō's Blue Exorcist manga about Rin Okumura (Nobuhiko Okamoto), a boy raised by a famous exorcist named Father Fujimoto (Keiji Fujiwara). Rin discovers he is the son of Satan, and he joins the True Cross Academy to become an exorcist. Tensai Okamura (Darker than Black, Wolf's Rain, Kikaider) is directing off scripts supervised by Ryota Yamaguchi (Cutey Honey Flash, Digimon: Data Squad, Sailor Moon Sailor Stars). The anime will premiere in Japan on April 10.
The official website of the Ore no Imōto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (Oreimo) television anime series began streaming the ending animation sequence for the "True Route" version of episode 12 on Monday. The official site, Nico Nico Douga, Rakuten ShowTime, Movie Gate, and the Bandai Channel has been streaming this version of the full episode in Japan since last Tuesday. Aniplex producer Atsuhiro Iwakami explained that there are two versions of episode 12, and that the story branched in the middle of episode 12. One of the versions, the "Good End," was the final episode of the television broadcast. The other version of episode 12, "True Route," will continue the story, which will end at episode 15.
