On the beginning it's little slower but the fun beginning little after. You will be laughing on the ground and trying to catch breathe. Using of the mythology as the source of the story and jokes is very good idea.

The first couple of episodes felt a bit dry, as I was expecting something completely different. After that, the comedy kicked in and I couldn't get enough of it! Essentially, it takes you through different sections and situations in Japanese Hell, colored by very creative concepts and a lot of dark humor.
Beautiful animation and plenty of great characters. Shiro and the rabbit are some of the funniest characters ever!
Whether you're a fan of Japanese lore, or just looking for a good lighthearted comedy series, this is your stop!

Gorgeous, attractive, imaginative! Sometimes, the humor seems forced, but the visuals more than make up for everything.

Strangely, although there is no relation, the humor style in this show frequently reminds me of Gintama. At the least, it's a bit slapstick, a bit cultural reference, largely based on scripted logic, satirical, and all-round well done. I can imagine this show having a broad appeal with an adult crowd in particular. Strangely relaxing even though the subject matter is a Japanese version of a sort of 'hell'. Everyone should watch a few episodes to see if they like this humor style because shows of this type are quite rare. If you like the first few eps, the rest is just more of the same. There isn't much 'story' or 'character development' here since the premise is the comedy itself, not the story.

The use of folklore, myth and legend, to make social commentary on today's issues daily life issues is hilarious. one of the most intelligent comedies out there, this time with a more mature tone.

Great anime! Beautiful and interesting art, has parody jokes on other anime, very unusual story in comparison to many currently produced anime, and lets you to learn a little more about Japanese folklore. The only minus is: "Bishoujo tarinai!". But well, this is maybe only my preference.

male, , based on a fictional characterThis character is based on a famous character from another work of fiction., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls. In Eastern lore, on the other hand, they are generally supernatural, often but not always malevolent beings who can be more mischievous than actually evil, or simply supernatural spirits of no specific alignment., demon lordA demon lord, also called demon king, is the ruler of either all demons or a large group of them. Demon lords generally also rule over other evil monsters, which are commonly seen as "lesser" in contrast., kingThis character rules a kingdom. Normally, kings are men, and their female counterparts are called queens, but in anime there is at least one known female king. Real-life kings of the past usually held absolute power, but as the time went on more and more kings had to be subjected to control from an external body, in the form of constitutional monarchies. In modern real-life kingdoms, it is very common for the king to be restricted to the role of a popular and political leader who no longer has any ruler powers. Kingship is usually inherited, and rules vary from place to place, but the most common is: preference goes to the direct descendants (e.g. sons are privileged in comparison with nephews), normally by the eldest relative in a given line, and in most monarchies a male will displace a female, often even in more preferred lines (e.g. a nephew would displace an older niece and often also an elder daughter, but not a younger son).

Most clubs are small enough to be swung in one hand, but two-handed variants exist. Various kinds of clubs are used in martial arts and other specialized fields, including the law enforcement baton. The mace is a descendant of the club, typically made of metal and featuring a spiked, knobbed, or flanged head attached to a shaft., demonIn Western lore, demons are often described as minions from Hell, generally known to attack humans and feast on their flesh or possess the bodies of those with weak souls.

Said strength usually allows them to win fights, or at least to last longer; stronger people are also normally able to withstand harsh conditions more easily than the rest, and even do things as simple as carrying heavy weights around. This tag also applies when a race is stronger than others (think the Sayajin), as long as said weaker races are also a part of the cast., pointy earsWell they are ears... and they are pointy... what`s more to say there?!, sadistA sadist obtains pleasure, sometimes sexual, from inflicting pain and/or other cruelty on another person.
