When is the Blue Exorcist movie set?


When is the _Blue Exorcist_ movie set, chronologically?

I'm sure there were cues in the movie to indicate where the movie falls
relative to the TV series, but it's been ages since I watched the series, so I
didn't really pick up on anything.




### Short version

It probably takes place between episode 19 and 20.

### Long version (spoilers)

> I was wondering about this as well. It clearly takes place after episode 15
> when Rin reveals his powers, and after Konekomaru begins to accept him as a
> friend after episode 18 or 19. So I'd say it takes place before episode 20,
> because the next few episodes seem to happen concurrently and all are more
> serialized leading up to the finale. Also, Yukio doesn't have his pointy
> demon ears in the movie like he does in the after credits scenes of episode
> 25, so I don't think the movie takes place after the series.
