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.
Watched and read both the anime and manga, and there are a few things about both that I liked and didn't like.
The opening to the Anime is better than the Manga's in the sense that you get to know more about Rin before the chaos. The Anime some what follows the Manga up to the point where Rin faces off against Amamon the second time during the camping trip. The is where they both go off in separate directions.
The Manga reveals some insight and spoilers for the Anime, and vice versa. In the Manga, they have yet to discuss the story of Rin and Yukio's mother, but the Anime does. But there are also some elements that is brought up in the Anime that would only make sense to someone who had read the Manga. I felt rather disappointed watching the end of this Anime, and hope that isn't how they plan on ending the Manga..
I would recommend stopping halfway through and just read the manga. Much more dramatic and no fillers.
