Dororon Enma-kun English Sub & Dub

About Dororon Enma-kun

Here is what Dororon Enma-kun is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, supernatural and horror anime by Toei Animation (1973). The setup: Monsters are coming to the human realm from the Hell in order to get human spirits. As people's minds are getting dirty, being attracted by the dirty spirits, the monsters break the rule to go to the human realm.

Also worth knowing: Tsutomu, a boy who goes to Yokai Elementary School, is without warning assaulted by monsters. Those who save him from the monsters are Enma-kun, the son of Enma, Yukiko, a snow woman, and Kapaeru. They are members of Monster Patrol that are sent to the human world to arrest monsters.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Toei Animation, so the studio's house style defines how Dororon Enma-kun looks and moves on screen. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 1973, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
