Synopsis

Humans and demons are two sides of the same coin, as are Assiah and Gehenna, their respective worlds. The only way to travel between the realms is by the means of possession, like in ghost stories. However, Satan, the ruler of Gehenna, cannot find a suitable host to possess and therefore, remains imprisoned in his world. In a desperate attempt to conquer Assiah, he sends his son instead, intending for him to eventually grow into a vessel capable of possession by the demon king.

Ao no Exorcist follows Rin Okumura who appears to be an ordinary, somewhat troublesome teenager—that is until one day he is ambushed by demons. His world turns upside down when he discovers that he is in fact the very son of Satan and that his demon father wishes for him to return so they can conquer Assiah together. Not wanting to join the king of Gehenna, Rin decides to begin training to become an exorcist so that he can fight to defend Assiah alongside his brother Yukio.

Background

Ao no Exorcist was licensed by Aniplex and simulcasted in North America. Due to the fact that the source material is on-going, the anime adaption of Ao no Exorcist diverges from it at key points, leading to an anime-exclusive ending.

Well this is a very entertaining Shonen. The story is fun, the character designs are even more fun, they are kawaii and also cool. The visuals in this show are some of the best in my opinion. It really embodies Christian mythos in such a palatable and funny fashion. The best thing about it is that it's very childish as it reminded me shows like Idaten jump and Beyblade which brings a nostalgic vibe. Despite all that the show does follow a linear storytelling and has prominent aspects of modern Shonen. Another favorite of mine is the goofy and spooky elements of the show and ...

This will be liked by the fans who dig the friendship trope animes. Basically, everyone has powers, but some are more useless than the others. Obligatory episode exclusively for them to have their own screen time and then they’re forgotten.

The anime shined once Sawano Hiroyuki entered the battles. This for sure made this series bearable with its epic soundtracks. And of course the other sole reason to keep the viewers invested is the lovely Yamada-kun with their two big intertwined plots.

The story is predictable. The style is what you’d see in most early 2010s era. Liked the first OP (as most of the OPs ...

Blue exorcist was anime that has a great premise that I really like, 2 sons with the mother of a human and a father of Satan himself. With high expectations of this being as great as the manga but I guess the studio had other plans and decided to go their own route an try making it an anime ending. The characters were really bland and I didn't really came to like any of them but the only on i think had to most personality was rin and i think he is annoying. The animation style was really good for its time but ...
