This grown up version of the original Dororon Enma-Kun anime (loosely based on the sequel manga) is this intriguing dark, gothic alternate timeline that just sadly misses its chance at being more than a decent campy, cult classic, due to the writing. I can recommend it to new people since overall, the story can be understood, but It's difficult to understand certain aspects of the story and characters that can give them more depth and meaning, without prior knowledge of these already established characters (Enma, Yukihime, Kapaeru, and Chapeauji) and you'll miss out on some homages to the original series. This definitely isn't for everyone butI'm someone who likes hidden gems like this so it's right up my alley. I really liked this grown up version (it introduced me to the original) and the topic of the darkness in human hearts. The art style is just awesome to me, besides the attempts at 3D but it was made in 2007 so I can forgive it for that. I just wish it had more than 4 episodes since I really think this limited the writer's chances at really fleshing out the story and giving more character depth.

On the topic of the ecchi scenes, they were fine with me because they weren't overly sexual like ecchi nowadays. Women's bodies looked surprisingly natural and didn't have oversized balloon looking boobs that clearly didn't fit their bodies, so I liked that. Also the scenes mostly made sense with the topic of the darkness in human hearts so I could overlook it. Enma being pervy, despite not being affected by darkness or light like humans, is weird but maybe I'm missing something since I haven't finished watching or reading the original.
