About Dropkick on My Devil!!! X

Meet Dropkick on My Devil!!! X (邪神ちゃんドロップキックX), a comedy, slice of life and supernatural anime by Nomad (2022). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Ever since she was summoned from Hell by the witch Yurine Hanazono, Jashin-chan—a half-human, half-snake demon—has been searching for any way to go back. One of her options is to kill the one who summoned her, which is much easier said than done.

Also worth knowing: Jashin-chan often comes across herself getting violently beaten by Yurine after not only any failed murder attempt, but also when she is just causing mischief, destroying any hope of going back home to Hell. The demon is also terrible with money and tends to gamble all of it away at pachinko. In one of these gambling sessions, she loses the three million yen she received from Hell Financing, putting her into a lifelong debt.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Miku Hatsune (Saki Fujita) and Jashin-chan (Aina Suzuki) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
