The only true love is statutory.

Dororon Enma-kun Meramera is a new and improved version of some old classic kids’ show that nobody outside of Japan has ever heard of. The animation is handled by Brains Base, and looks superb. But the clincher for me was that the character designs are by none other than Kimura Takahiro. The genius behind the cute and sexy or hot and voluptuous females of such series as: GaoGaiGar, Goddannar, Usagi-chan de Cue, Gun x Sword and Code Geass.

Like all Go Nagai productions, this show has subliminal perversion scattered throughout… Waitaminute! It’s not subliminal at all! It’s pretty hilarious. At this early point, it’s difficult for me to figure out the world views of these characters. Does Yukikohime get annoyed by Enma’s advances? Or does she enjoy it? So far she hasn’t really filled in either the sweet or the sour portion of the character mold, and I’m getting confused by her lack of substance. I mean, if she doesn’t like people looking at her snatch, then why doesn’t she wear panties? Why is her skirt so short? Why is she always getting captured and stripped naked? What a slut, she’s totally asking for it. And yet, as soon as someone whips out his dick, she has to do a 360, and goes, “Kyaah, pervert!” and freezes them. It’s a bit disappointing since she’s supposed to be the heroine of the show. Harumi, someone I don’t believe was in the original, is filling in the role of the protagonist. Enma is sort of just there… to burn shit.

So, maybe you don’t like little girls, you don’t like gag comedies, and you don’t like Takahiro Kimura. Well, that’s more than enough reason to not like this show, and I give you props for sticking to your guns. I personally think shows like these are just acquired tastes, like death metal or cow urine. So I’ll understand if I’m the only one watching this show right now.
