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.

Blue Exorcist was an unoriginal yet great anime that definitely had it's good and bad moments. Blue Exorcist can be faulted for it's unoriginal, demon based story which did change it's pacing a lot throughout the entirety of the anime. The story centers around your typical protagonist, rebel frowned upon hero Rin Okurmura training to become a demon exorcist. The story telling eventhough can be seen as 'rushed' is explained and detailed well making it an enticing yet easy to understand plot. It has certain sparks which makes it incredibly unique and inviting but can still include your typical anime clichés

Mixed Feelings
It starts off pretty well but it really is kind of tame when all is said and done. I enjoyed it but it was boring and the last couple episodes are left field and I found it really silly, although in my head Im gearing to forget the Anime arc moving forward. Its charming and I definitely want to continue with Season 2 and 3, so we'll see where it goes. The movie was good though it was fun although I know 16-25 are not canon it was aight. I like Rin he's a stereotypical main character but Yukio is so much cooler in my ...

Jujur sebenarnya anime ini bagus dari segi jalan ceritanya, cuma apa yang saya tak suka adalah yuri, ibu nya Rin dan Yukio yang ingin berteman dengan para syaitan, jujur itu karakter yuri itu sesat weh, kerana ingin manusia berteman dengan syaitan? What The Fish Man!

Penyebab mengapa saya tidak merekomendasikan anime ini bukan kerana anime ini jelek dari segi animasi ataupun ceritanya, ceritanya bagus, animasinya okelah gak kayak ep ep, dan semua karakter nya pun menarik, dan ada tiga karakter favorite saya iaitu Rin, kuro dan Shiemi, yang buat saya tidak rekomendasi kerana anime ini sedikit sesat sikit, kerana ada yang kata mereka bukan seperti ...
