[Minor Spoilers Ahead]
Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen (Which I will refer to as BE2 from now on) is a sequel done right in my opinion. They took the ideas from the original, and just improved upon them all-round.
Rin, while still being juvenile, is a lot more fun this time around. With his dialogue written more like a confused teen then an angry 8 year old. They've trimmed back the amount of characters, but in return given them all little subplots in the final 5 episodes. In works out well in the end. The main story is actually quite good, despite turning to sequel bait near the end. It feels much more well paced then the original, which felt like it was trying to fit 60 episodes into 24.
BE2 otherwise felt like part of the original series. The animation and voice acting all matched perfectly, and everything was really the same.
If you enjoyed the first season, which I did, you're going to enjoy this aswell, maybe even more. If you didn't, I'm sorry to say you're probably not going to change your mind. I'd advise against starting with this, however, as very little is explained, and it's presumed you watched the first season beforehand.
