Summary:
The world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exists within it. Satan is the god of demons, but there's one thing that he doesn't have and that's a container in the human world that is powerful enough to hold him! For that purpose, he created Okumura Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans, or will he become something else...? After killing Rin's guardian Father Fujimoto in an attempt to bring Rin back to the Demon world, it led to Rin's journey on becoming an Exorcist in order to defeat Satan.
I would like to point out that so far the adaptation of this anime from the manga is really good and really pulls out all of the emotion that the protagonist is feeling. When I first picked up the manga series I thought "It would be awesome to see this made into an anime cause the fight scenes would be amazing" and then I was even more excited when I saw the anime announcement. I would suggest that if you haven't read the manga, then try to stick with the series till the end because it's such a good story and deserves all the attention it can get.
My worries for this anime so far have been cleared; the Japanese voice actors are really good and pulled me back into the story like I don't even know what's going on. The animation is pure top notch and I can tell that it'll only get better with the bigger fight scenes that are surely to come. I can imagine if you haven't read the manga, then the dialogue might lose a few people, since they'll have to (eventually) explain the back-story for this series, but I wouldn't let that get in the way of the beautiful and unique story-line that it is. Over-all entertainment? Let's just say I'm hoping for a long, drawn out series that will go a long with the manga because there's SO MUCH to offer for this series if done right.
