Anime --> Skipable, one of the worst original endings I have ever seen.
Manga --> It is ok.

That's a silly question. One person will tell you it's a complete crap, while another will call it a masterpiece. It's a matter of taste. I enjoyed watching it and had fun. Would I call it great? No, but it was good. That's all I can really tell you. Read some reviews maybe. At the end of the day it all boils down to whether or not you're interested in the premise and setting.

It's not bad.
Judging by your favorites list (which is 2 shounen and 1 dark) you should try it.

Both the anime and manga are solid, and the anime diverges into original material so the ending does actually feel like an ending.
I guess I enjoyed watching it, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking or stand out from your typical shounen fare.
Personally, I thought it started out well, but got boring quickly...something I watched and forgot about after a week or so.

You could always just watch the first 2 or 3 episodes to test the waters.

I enjoyed it.
I didn't blow me out of my seat, but it did what it did pretty well.

Give it a try ^^

I personally didn't enjoy it.

The pacing was bad in my personal opinion, the first 20 episodes felt like an introduction, something I would have expected in the first 4, maybe 5 episodes at the most.

Maybe it's just not what I expected, and I wanted something different at the time.
If it had a second season, I probably would have liked it a lot more.

Of course this is all just my opinion, and I'm not saying it's bad either.
I gave it a 5/10 and wouldn't recommend it, but don't let me keep you from watching and potentially loving it. ~

I'm probably gonna read the manga at some point, I feel like I would enjoy that a lot more.
Kinda like with Elfen Lied, I thought the anime was garbage, but the thought the manga was simply fantastic.

It's enjoyable but not anything too great. But I still think that you could give it a try if you're interested.

I didn't like it. If you can tolerate a bad ending with mediocre shounen tropes go for it.

First anime i've watched when i made a MAL account. I liked it very much. I rewatched it recently and it isn't he best show, but nostalgia got me hard, so i still didn't rate it objectively. So i don't know...Watch it if you feel like it, you may find it enjoyable.

Well, as you can see, the majority doesnt speak in its favor. As well do i. Ao no Exorcist isnt all that special at all. The beginning was ok and had some fun parts but towards the middle of it, it went slightly downhill but what ultimatively destroyed it was the ending. So, i wouldnt recommend it

OP why are you asking other people what you should watch??...start an episode and see if its a show you want to watch... if it isn't, you drop it. Simple.

Its trash, the first episode will probably get you hooked because the show tries to tell you its gonna be all dark and that there is something big about to happen.. but then quickly it just turns into generic school trash show.

well, i guess it is worth to watch but that ending really pissed me off. they made the villian as if he is a good guy. from what side you see, a thing or creature with that name is an obvious evil. i really hate that tbh. but personally, the first cour looks good to me. i enjoy it too, but that ending really ruined my enjoyment.

read the manga. many people recommend the manga rather than the anime.

Tbh it's nothing special, but I personally love it anyways. Maybe it's because of how I remember it being when I first watched it.
Also, Rin is adorable.

A good enough time burner. It is nice for the eyes.

The main problem is the pacing: the original ending feels like it should have been more prepaired but instead they went for a slow introduction (manga-style) who was pretty useless since they never had the intention to follow the manga.

edit: based on your list, you should appreciate it a bit more than me (who had seen/read too much of this genre at that time to find it interesting.

I haven't watched the anime. As for the Manga it's fine. It's unique in some ways, which differentiates it from most other shounen. Basically it doesn't follow the usual Battle Shounen tropes when it comes to the plot structure i.e. Tournament arcs etc. It's definitely very interesting.

Fair enough. It's not bad but it's not great either. But seriously. Just watch a few episodes and see if it sticks. Asking about a specific anime will, as you see, give a multitiude of reactions. If you wanted a majority voice, you should have made a poll.

it was good, i didn't much care for the ending but one thing that really stood out for me was rin's seiyuu. perfect choice
it's a good anime to pass time i guess, but its not spectacular. like others said already i've heard that the manga's much better

If the one thing that stood out for you is the voice actor then it speaks VOLUMES about the quality of the show.

It's a decent watch albeit it can feel generic at times because of the shounen tropes present. Also, it has a filler arc as its ending just in case you don't like fillers.

The anime does have it's flaws (bad ending and fillers) but it's really funny, has an awesome soundtrack and likeable characters. So i would suggest try to watch at least the first few episodes.

It was largely forgettable. Just your very typical shounen anime. Nothing unique or stand-out about it. It also suffered from an anime original ending which came out of nowhere. I got around 20 episodes into it, thinking it would be two seasons of 25 episodes each; I didn't know anything about it and assumed from the pacing that that's the amount of episodes it would be.

But then it just ended in the next few episodes after that. Rushed isn't the word for it.

If you enjoy typical shounen, you'll enjoy this. That about sums it up really. There's nothing new or innovating in it. It also emphasises on the power of friendship.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Me general opinion? Meh, it was ok/10.

Years later I still think it was a ripoff of D. Gray Man with more comedic elements, so watch it if that sounds appealing I guess?

Edit: Something I don't think anyone has mentioned; It does have an awesome opening.

I quite enjoyed the movie without seeing the series. Can't recall much about it though, thought character interaction, world setup, & animation were nice.
You can try it first since it it's only a 1.5hrs self contained story.

I really liked the first 2 or 3 episodes. Then it started feeling rushed and only got worse towards the end.

I dont regret watching it but i hoped it would have been better.
