Basically, the Impure King revival arc doesn't exist in the anime. There are some filler episodes in between Rin calming down Kuro and the training camp, and after the training camp in the forest where Rin reveals his blue flames to the rest of his classmates, that's where the anime heads off into its own tangent.

I watched the anime before I read the manga, so just letting you know the first 10 episodes of the anime are basically exactly like the manga, so if you want you can skip the first 10 episodes of the anime you could.

I would personally watch the whole anime, even if the ending of it is completely noncanon, it's still very entertaining.
