A gothic lolita witch, named Yurine, summons a demon snake girl from hell, named Jashin, to the human world. Jashin can’t go back to hell unless she kills Yurine, but until then, they’re living together. This is the basic synopsis of the Summer 2018 season’s, Jashin-chan no Dropkick! Jashin-chan no Dropkick is described by MAL as a supernatural comedy show, complete with demons, angels, and all of hell’s creatures on earth participating in this fun slapstick, bloody, slice of life adventure.
Jashin-chan no Dropkick is the newest addition to the newish genre known as monster girls. The 3 major demon girls, Jashin, Medusa, and Minosu, have the qualities of their mythical creature counter parts. Jashin wears no clothes and has the bottom of a snake, much like Miia from Monster Musume, with blond hair hiding her tits. Medusa wears ancient Egyptian attire and turns normal humans to stone when they look at her eyes. Minosu wears cow themed clothing and looks like what you think a typical cow girl would looks like. There’s also Pikola, who is an angel who has lost her halo and is stuck on earth until someone comes to pick her up, but in the meantime she’s homeless. She is also best girl.
As you can assume with this type of show, its mostly carried by the scenarios and personalities these characters bring to the table. Mostly interacting with the two protagonists, Yurine and Jashin. Jashin, being a demon, is a terrible person. She constantly does these deeply immoral things to the point it's even fucked up even for fiction. In reaction to this, Yurine often takes some overly comical weapon to do almost as awful thing to her back. Like bludgeoning her to death, or chopping up her tail and making it into stew, or sticking her into an iron maiden. You get it right? Yurine is a genuinely nice person despite her cold personality and the fact that she eviscerates Jashin everytime she does something horrible. Which is often. And she never learns. If Yurine wasn’t there to punish Jashin for her evil doings, then this show would just be a terrible person doing terrible things. Which wouldn’t be fun at all.
The show’s art and animation, in my opinion, is stellar for this type of show. For just some slice of life comedy it's pretty great. The characters have a chibi, shiny look to them with some fluid animation to boot. It really makes the slapstick hit harder.
In conclusion, Jashin-chan no Dropkick gets a 9 out of 10 for me this Summer anime season. I always looked forward to watching it after work on Monday’s. It's reminiscent to Gabriel Dropout, except more adult, if that makes sense. So if you like that, then give this show a shot. This has been PixEFit’s spoiler free, but not really review on Jashin-chan no Dropkick.
