Blue Exorcist Season 2 English Dub Coming To Hulu

This past Saturday was Anime Central, one of the largest anime and manga conventions in the Midwest, and with it came awesome anime news. At a panel for Aniplex for America, the company announced big news for Blue Exorcist fans. Aniplex will be streaming a brand new English Dub for Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga exclusively on Hulu.

The English Dub was premiered at a Sakura Con last month, but now will widely available for Shonen fans to enjoy. Aniplex announced last October that it had licensed the series for an English Dub, and it is now clear it is exclusive for Hulu. The series premiered on January 6 and it was streamed live on Crunchyroll and Daisuki.

Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga begins at the fifth volume of the manga, the "Kyoto Impure King Arc". Aniplex of America describes the series below:

Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can exorcise such demons—the exorcists.

Rin Okumura kept the fact that he was Satan's offspring a secret from everyone and decided to become an exorcist. He began his training at True Cross Academy but following the incidents involving Amaimon's raid, his lineage became apparent. Fearing his true nature and the blue flames marking his connection to Gehenna, Rin's classmates all distanced themselves from him. Meanwhile, the academy was on high alert when they realized that the "Left Eye of the Impure King" had been stolen! What lies ahead for Rin and his classmates?
