A super-funny, hot guy is somehow the loser.
Series in more sentences:
A teenage boy who's skipped more days of school than he attended discovers he's the son of Satan. After his adoptive father is killed by the king of Hell, he decides to follow the same career path he and his superior twin brother took; to become an exorcist and kill Satan once and for all.
It's fine to root for Satan's baby if he's a funny guy. Pretty sure that's in the Bible.
Cool action scenes and nice characters, no one was "just a bully" put there to barricade the hero's efforts. It's so easy to do in fiction.
But at the same time, I was disappointed by the near-romance that didn't go anywhere, Satan's careless demeanour towards the children he had with a woman he -so far I understood- loved, and the unsatisfying ending in general. After the climax, there was nothing that tied the whole thing together.
They did release a series after this one that's more or less a second season that plays off in between certain episodes of the original, but it's a whole new story and doesn't really fix or address the above points.
But well, this anime has one of the most emotional moments of any show I've watched so far. The scene with the cat demon never fails to make me cry, and if a show can make me care for a character that's had little to no screen time, that's a good show.
If you like demons, fighting, and charming characters, this one's for you.
