Short review for this short specialThis episode-sized special doesn't really bring anything new to the table and theres no more backstory info on Kuro which I was expecting given the whole episode was foucused on him. Though, the short but sweet appearences from the many charcters in the main story and the simple plot makes this special very enjoyable (in special/OVA standards).The best part of Kuro no Iede is that it has the same amount of comedy and drama which Ao no Exorcist had until the last 4-5 episodes where it became an over-the-top overdramatic mess (just saying). The voice acting and the OP and ED were great as usual and the animation was up to typical 2011 standard (btw is a good thing).To sum it up, this short but sweet special is quite enjoyable and a treat for all Ao no Exorcist/Blue Exorcist fans.
