Ao no Exorcist is very similar in storyline to D. Grayman. The main protagonist is a young boy named Okumura. He however is cursed with being the illegitimate son of Satan. He then is rescued along with his twin brother by a society of exorcists. A priest, who Okumura calls father raises him, in hopes that he Okumura will use his powers for good, and not evil. After Okumura's foster father is killed, he pledges himself to train to be an exorcist, and defeat Satan's forces. In D. Grayman the main protagonist is Allen Walker, who is becomes cursed after he turns his dead relative, and father figure into an akuma, by being tricked by the evil Earl. However Allen's relative instead of killing Allen fights the urge, and then curses him. Allen then leaves after destroying his relative to then be found by General Cross, an exorcist of the Black Order. Allen then after a time of apprenticeship goes to the Black Order to be trained and become a full fledged exorcist. So if you like Ao no Exorcist then you will love D. Grayman.
Both are generic shounen series on the surface, but are enjoyable regardless.
They both take place in a school dedicated to defeating the supernatural and both stories revolve around the students, mostly.
The main characters also both deal with being demonic
If you're looking for a series about brotherhood, then both series would have to be the best recommendation as both tell a tale of the bonds 2 brothers have and the trials they go through. Whilst both series may be of different plots, what they both share is the highly-packed action and spectacular graphics.
the similar are the charaters personalitys

i would have to say that Naruto and Rin are alike they are some person who likes to help others, and let them understand peoples feelings, Naruto and Rin know when people are being hurt or know that when they need someone, they know that they have to be the one to be there. Like Naruto helping Gaara, Naruto new that Gaara was like him, and the same thing went as Rin wanted to stop Ryuji making the same mistake as what he did to his own father. Everyone didn't like them, everyone knew that he had a demon in side of Naruto, and everyone called Rin a demon because he act like one.

But i also think that Rin is like Gaara too, because people keeps calling them a demon. And that Father Fujimoto is like Naruto too because he understand Rin and Rin knows that he under stand him.

so i would say that it's equal to equal to each character

Naruto is like Rin and Fujimoto
and Rin is like Naruto and Gaara

Both have protagonists whose appearance changes during fight scenes and both include demons (yokai) and exorcists.
The main character is the incarnation of the greatest evil; however he only wants to be a good guy. Both stories have funny and serious moments (less in Daimaou). As far as I know, there will be an academy atmosphere which is also common in them.
Both of these Anime have fighting scenes, sword play and monsters that need to be taken care of. There is also the theme of hell, less played up in Bleach. One of the major themes is protecting others, and another is being accepted for who you are.
Rei looks a little bit like Rin and the blue flames.
They both have the action, Shounen and Supernatrual genres.
Rei and Rin have the same seiyuu.
Both series are about a pair of brothers fighting against demons. The older brother Dean is more the action kind of guy, attack first, ask questions later, which is like Rin. Sam the younger brother is the more reserved thinking brother. Sam also is very smart and tends to use research and intelligence against enemies rather than brute strength like Dean (though they both kick some serious ass regardless). This is quite a bit like Yukio. In Supernatural one brother also shares a strong connection to demons and Lucifer (Satan) in particular (not going to give away which one). The other brother often tells his demonically inclined brother that he shouldn't use demon powers and that they'll corrupt him (sound familiar?).

In particular there's actually a scene in episode 24 of Ao no Exorcist (spoilers if you haven't watched it all yet) where Yukio is possessed by Satan and when Rin comes to save him Satan starts beating the crap out of Rin but Rin refuses to harm Yukio and believes his younger brother has to be in there still and can hear him and overcome Satan. Though the Supernatural anime has yet to get that far in the story yet, in the original tv series of the same name there's a scene remarkably similar to this one in Ao no Exorcist. BTW Supernatural came first and is a big hit in Japan which actually lead to the anime series being made (a first of it's kind, an anime adaptation of an American live action tv series) so I've actually wondered a few times if they didn't base that scene on the scene from Supernatural.

Anyways if you like series that follow brothers and deal with the supernatural then this is definitely one to try.
Both are highly popular shonen action anime revolving around Satan's child.
I'm an addict for series that follow a pair of brothers. For me Ao no Exorcist and FMA fall in the same category. Hot headed older brother, check. Reasonable, level headed younger brother, check. Supernatural elements, check. You could basically exchange the Exorcists for Alchemists, alchemy for magic, and homunculi for demons and have a pretty close to the same type of story. And did I mention the brothers and lots of brotherly love, angst, family bonding moments in both? I've made my point. Though not like anyone whose watched Ao no Exorcist will have not watch FMA. Seriously if you haven't you really shouldn't call yourself an anime fan. AnE though good the anime will never come close to comparing to either series of FMA.
Both series are about demons and exorcists who try to vanquish them, with both series starring a lone demon who works for good. Both have spectacular graphics and fluid animation, and a story that's worth being in your list if your into the supernatural/demon genre.
I just feel that the main character has a similar situation. Being half human and half demon, the main character doesn't belong to either side. But they chose the human side and decided to get stronger in order to protect them.
Both have a same vibe, and involve characters with supernatural powers
Both churches, deal with monotheistic religion, but with have Japanese religious characterstics, like exorcist, animal spirits, temples, etc
Both are typical highschool shounen shows with supernatural (aka devil/demon) elements, with the main difference being that Ao no Exorcist doesn't have the enormous amount of fan service.
In both shows the loser/outcast/main protagonist gets involved with these supernatural elements and has to fight and train with all his might to win the inevitable battle at the end to safe the ones he loves.
Typical, but very enjoyable.
-main character is cute
-there are some strange creatures that can possess humans
-church themed
Similar main character personality and has action with side comedy
both the main characters are monsters.
both have people hunting for their blood.
both select to be human .
both have many foe.
both want to Protect their friends.
both of their parents are kind.
Felt the smiliarity directly when I watched the first episode of Ao no Exorcist.
Mostly the combinations of demons/torches/Guzes no tomogaras and exorcist/flame hazes. Thought in Ao no Exorcist there misses a opposite-gender main character but that probably will be filled up by Rin's brother Yukio.
Conclusion: Both have a mysterious story that you have to accept to continue and lots of action and a slight touch of comedy.
Demons , action , fantasy > if you like it , you will like the other

Because its unique and i love the plot/story! I don't even know how to explain my excitement to you, because this anime, IS A MUST. If you're an otaku, then you must definitely watch this, but if you watched this already then read the manga, there's a lot of twists and cliffhangers though, and you have to wait for it to update and stuffs like that, but the best part is, ITS WORTH IT.
Both the main characters are almost very similar, they have determination to become one of the best and strongest person there is. In both series they possess unbelievable strength and power already or later on. They both also are similar 'cause they have a path of solitude and basically not wanting to rely on others that much. Another aspect about both series is that they both have a lot of Dram since the main characters have at least a lost a loved one. Both are also really good Shounen and this one is mostly Seinen 'cause there's a lot of action.
Both Rin and Rikuo are part demon and have powers which they use to fight and protect their friends. But both of them are somewhat reluctant to use their powers at times.

Both animes are Shounen with lots of awesome action and fights!
Both have a crazy cast of characters along with similar anime styles. There is also nice amounts of humor built in and sometimes the plot line does get series.
Similarities:
- Both main character are very similar.
- Both have unbelievable powers.
1. Ao no Exorcist: demonic powers
2. Sword Art Online: Highest level player in the game
- Both desire a lonely path of solitude; don't want to rely on others.
- Both, everyone hates them.
1. Ao no Exorcist: Most people mainly hates/fear him for being the son of the Underworld King.
2. Sword Art Online: Most people mainly hate/fear him for being a Beta player and branded as a " Beater." He's the strongest player in the world.
- Both shouen anime involving action.
- Both really good and warm anime sort of.
- Both have drama.
- Both main characters lost their loved ones.
While the characters and plot aren't all that similar, I found them to both have very good action, and a somewhat interesting plot (Although DTB's is better). They both had a very similar feeling for me.
Both use Blue Fire as a power
They both heavily involve supernatural elements (Exorcist = demons; Blood+ = vampires) and a main character who is darkly connected to those very forces that he/she fights. Both series are quite fast-paced and exciting, and the first episode or two of either should suffice to draw you in.
-Both exciting & great anime.
-Both main character in the beginning of the anime realized that they had powers deep inside of them
-Both horrible past
-Both same goal; lost all of their love ones due to an evil enemy and swore to get revenge on them.
both are about demons.
The main protagonists struggle against a world that curse their innately evil powers despite their best attempts at being good.
Although Ao no exorcist isn't comedy, it has some funny scenes with a good character development in a universe with humans and demons, as well as Hataraku Maou-sama!;
Both have good fight scenes and characters with supernatural powers;
Both have some demons that are trying to conquer the land of humans;
Rin and Maou have similar personality;
The art is similar.

Both are action/comedy anime that involve magic use for exorcisms.
both are bishonen action shows, similar characters, many of them have Mu's eyebrows.
Both have a Overpowered Main Protoganist. and magic/fantasy/action genre

Also both of them take place in a school.

Sorry for the LowQuality Recommendation but i didn't had much time ^^.
See for yourself if you like it.
Both main characters have unice powers and both are ending up in special schools to train them up.

these animes are very similar in genra wise there both two young boys who set out to make a goal and reach there dream they are also both carless leader types which makes both aanime have the same sence of comedy so if you like ao no exorcist then i would recommend one piece
Both of these series starts off as tragedy stories after a startling revelation is made.

From there, the main character tries to become someone they never thought to be and get justice. Along the way, both characters meets others whom they bond but also conflicts with.

In both of these anime(s), there is action, violence, and drama. There is also comedy (less so in Zetman), and even very tiny hints of romance.

In both series the main characters hunt people similiar to them. Alucard it's a vampire from an anti-vampire organization(Hellsing) and in Ao no Exorcist we've the son of Satan(Okumura, Rin) becoming an exorcist.
Both Bakemonogatari and Ao no Exorcist has the same:
• Art Style - Produced by Aniplex.

• Genre - Both have elements of Supernatural conventions.. Although Bakemonogatari is more aligned to a horror genre unlike Ao no Exorcist which is more on the shounen side.

• Narrative - Both give out the same atmosphere. Both Protagonist are alot dominant compared to other characters. Ao no Exorcist Son of Satan and Bakemonogatari Vampire.
-A character that wants to become stronger to protect others and is comedic (Rin and Yoshimori) paired with a serious, studious character that keeps the other in check (Yukio and Tokine)
-Fighting demons or ayakashi
-Yoshimori (Kekkaishi) and Rin (Ao no Exorcist) are given a power at first that they deny, and have immense, natural talent
-The same sense of adventure and reckless strength
Similar styles, similar quirky humor. The story line have a light side to them but also a darker side.
The similarity between these two is the idea of purifying / exorcising evil. They are not really similar otherwise, they are more like paralel series, they are ahout exterminating evil in 2 different cultures. Shounen Onmyoujy deals with Asian beliefs (youkai, shikigami, etc), while Ao no Exorcist deals with more like European beliefs (satan, devils, familiars).
The feel about series is similar, both are quite dark, but feature some comedy. Also, again some group of humans vs. demons, special powers, hell gates (or rather equivalents), etc.
Both Anime's got fantasy and both male characters uses a sword to fight with.
The exorsists have special privlages, getting to go wherever they want to with the keys. The hunters license is like a passport to anywhere. Each group goes on adventures within their group and they form friendships, despite dark adventures.
There is a wide cast of characters and similar humor. The art styles are also similar and yet different in their own ways.
The main characters are sort of similar, in that both use flames and can't control it at first.
The main characters have special powers and have to fight to survive while leaving their abilities unknown to the rest of the world.
Both of these shows deal with the power that you have and dealing with it in constructive manners. Both of these shows are also riddled through with a great deal of humor that comes across wonderfully.
I think Rin and Ueki are a lot alike. They're both kind of idiotic and there is a lot more to them than meets the eye (without inserting any spoilers)
I'm surprised no-one has put these two down for recommendations yet.
Both similar types of drawings.
Both supernatural (Ao no Exorcist - Demons, DRRR! - not fully centred on supernatural, but a big majority of it is based on myths/legends/demons).
Both similar genres - action, comedy, drama-ish, etc.
Both a very enjoyable watch.
Although I would say that DRRR! is more complex (but still easy to understand), while Ao no Excorcist has a much more simple story line.
ao no exorcist--- demons

natsume yuujinchou--- yokais
~both shounen
~deals with purifying/exorcising the possessed ones
~both protagonists uses gun and sword
Kokuchi are possesing human bodies and powering them up in Monochrome Factor, as demons are doing that to people in Ao no Exorcist....It seems similar. xD
majutsushi ~magicians, cool fights and mistery. nyan!
In both the anime are little invisible flying demons, and both the protagonists are the son of a important demon.
Monsters.
An epic character who uses guns.
(both supernatural and action, though Hellsing Ultimate is infinitely more violent =P)
Need I say more?
Both series are about a pair of supernatural siblings who fight demons. Both fight as a duo wielding swords and guns to defeat demons.
The are both about guys who aren't very good at hiding their 'secret' powers.
Both are packed with action but also light humour in between. They aren't too deep but oh so enjoyable! And they leave you with a positive feeling after you watch them.
I also found that the two main characters resemble each other greatly.
Both about Exorcist
Both main characters have a katana as a weapon
Both side characters have different and unique weapons
