About
"Devil's son fighting for a normal life"
Rin Okumura discovers he's the son of Satan and enrolls in a secret academy for exorcists, determined to fight demons rather than become one. The show mixes school-life comedy with darker supernatural stakes, following Rin as he tries to earn his place among classmates who fear what he might become. Early episodes are breezy and fun, built on a likable ensemble and slick action, though the anime's pace outstrips its source manga, leading to a rushed, more anime-original back half that trades depth for momentum.
Watch it for
the charismatic lead and fast, stylish demon-fighting action.
Maybe skip if
you want an ending that fully pays off the setup.

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.
