AniWorthGhastly Prince Enma Burning Up
Introduction
Meet the Demon Patrol: a hotheaded demon prince; a sultry, half-naked ice princess; a lusty frog-demon spy; a talking wizard hat... and one little girl. This rag-tag group has been charged with the protection of Earth from a multitude of demons who would love nothing more than to bring their world crashing down around them. They'll face off against a vengeful squid, a somnambulant kitty cat, a pot full of snakes, a night-stalking deciduous, a hater of crotches, and even a literal butthead! Descend into an unreality filled with pratfalls, lewd behavior, and enough obscure cultural jetsam to drown us all!

Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera is an anime adapted from the same namesake manga from the 70's. And most of the content and structure stems from that period.
As a gag/ecchi anime/manga DEM certainly displays the mediums juvenile tendencies in its fullest, the good and the bad.
The best thing about this anime is probably the structure and artwork. For most of the time the art is stylized in a constant quality, if necessary. But most of the time it has a decent animation over the whole run.
The structure is similar. It starts with a monster-of-the-week approach, but as more characters are introduced, the higher the stakes become and the mystery about the attacks of the weekly monsters become more apparent.
However, this is where the good things end. By far the weakest link of the series is its…

Overall from what I have read after having been assaulted by this rancid piece of crap that unfortunately was given the title of entertainment I can understand that there is a lot of history that went behind the show. That however to me does not excuse how inexplicably bad the show was nor does it evoke a sense of sympathy in me that maybe I should not judge it by the standards of what a good comedy show should be. So without further I do I now review.
Story- If the story was supposed to be treated like an action show with any hint of seriousness in it it would have been an utter failure from the start. While the idea of a spirit squad sent from the underworld to protect mankind from the evil yokai trying to invade the world can make a great plot, as has been proven to me by many great ani…

Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera is a mostly nonsensical and perverted romp involving Enma-kun and the Youkai Patrol dealing with random demons dealing silly and sometimes perverted hijinks on humanity. The plot is pretty bare-bones where throughout much of the first half, Enma and his group deal with a random demon each episode and the second half explores the group discovering who is behind the string of demons being let loose from hell. If you are expecting consistent plot and character development throughout this series, then you will be quite disappointed as Dororon Enma-kun is more focused on its crazy and perverse comedy than giving you a serious plot to stick with.
However if you are looking for a comedy title, Enma-kun does more than enough to deliver on its laughs for the most part. T…

'Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera' is a gag anime based on '70s manga with a LOT of ecchi elements. As a result, the humor is mostly driven by classic manga or anime references, ecchi jokes like girls getting stripped naked in most implausible ways, guys getting poked in the ass, or dirty jokes. The comedy style is very Japanese, with persistent running jokes and oyaji-gag (pun-heavy, old fashioned jokes).
The art in the show has a nostalgic style, with retro character designs. For the most part, this show seems like it could've been made in the '70s, but the battle scenes are ridiculously detailed and serious that you know it was done on purpose for laughs, and find it funny.
OP/ED are also designed to be funny, with OP having obviously outdated tune that was popular in the '70s anime songs,…
