Plot:
Did you know that there are demons in this world...?
Okumura Rin didn't know when he suddenly get to know that he's one himself! And on top of that all he's Satan's son! Rin was raised as a normal child with his younger twin brother Okumura Yukio. But actually his brother and priest father all knew this and when their father dies by Satan's hands Rin wants to get a revenge and become an exorcist. After that Rin goes to a school which makes exorcists with his brother and starts his new and really long fight against prejudices.

Characters:
Okumura Rin ~ Rin is young and active boy who is actually a demon. He doesn't like studying or anything serious but he likes food and playing around. In the past he always got into fights which made his family worry. In other words he's complete opposite from his brother Yukio. Despite that he's someone you can rely on. Rin has black hair, blue eyes, sharp teeth, pointed ears and tail.

Okumura Yukio ~ Yukio is Rin's younger brother but is a lot calmer than his twin. He's systematic and serious person and in addition to all he's a teacher at exorcist school which Rin goes to. Even though his brother has demonic powers, Yukio doesn't have any. Yukio has black hair, grey eyes, glasses, freckles on face and he wears an exorcist's uniform and carries a gun everywhere.

Mephisto Pheles ~ He's a headmaster of the exorcist school. Mephisto is weird guy who seems to hide a lot of secrets in himself. For example that he's a demon too and also Rin's brother by being Satan's son. Meph wears white and pink uniform with topper.

So what makes it good?
This author can be descripted as genious. Even though the backround might resemble a little D.Gray-Man's plot but AnE makes still one unique and unforgotable story. Rin as main character is a hit win! He's not one of those perfect super heros in that very instant but he also has evil powers which he wants to use for good. Everytime you read the manga or watch the anime (which has already come to its end, unfortunately) you can't wait to see what Rin comes up this time. He's a person you can sympathize with. He's a lively person you want to see more. Also other characters are cool! Not only Yukio but other student's at school are making their own role. For example when Bon and Rin are betting on who's stronger or when Shiemi runs flying with her innocent face sparkling. Also that monk boy whose name I can't remember right now (sorry x'D) is making the story more intensive when he has doupts of Rin being the demon. (But that's also something that's really annoying, in my opinion...)
Also art's not that bad either. ^^ I've seen many manga where art is like it's not an important thing at all and that makes me mad. Even though the story is good the author hasn't put any effort to an appareance. It can be other way around too. When the art is really beautiful that you can even drool over it, the plot is that shitty that it makes you want to stop reading right there. In AnE both of these requirements has been fulled though.

WARNING! This AMV contains sopilers! So be careful before watching! ;)
