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.
ao no exorcist (why do the blue flames remind me of 'fox fire!!!'?...)

Overall Rating
Good
Story: 3
Dialogue: 4
Animation: 5
Entertainment: 4
pros
+ fast storyline without fillers
+ amazing action and animation
+ huge dose of comedy
cons
- clichéd characters without much development
- rather basic storyline with an open end
- dialogue would be generic weren't it for the comedy
conclusion: don't get your hopes up too high in terms of storyline/charas, or you'll be disappointed. however, if you simply want to lay back, not think, and have something short, funny, and relaxing to watch this is the thing to go for. for its comedic side, wide variety of fighting styles, and good artwork, this is easily one of the better shounen out there. however, completely different from the manga. if you want a (slightly more complex) storyline in addition to all i mentioned, go off to read the manga.
