About Blue Exorcist:

The material world (Assiah) where humans live, and the void world (Gehenna) where demons live–usually travel and contact between these worlds are impossible, but demons are able to pass to the dimension of Assiah by possessing certain material objects.
However, among humans, there exist exorcists who exorcise such demons…
The story of Rin Okumura, a boy of human and demon blood, and his friends who aspire to become exorcists, has been adapted three times into Blue Exorcist anime projects, combining original anime elements with the original story: TV anime Blue Exorcist, Blue Exorcist The Movie, and TV anime Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga-.
