Synopsis

Jashin-chan, a demon, is summoned into the human world by Yurine Hanazono, a gothic-looking girl. The problem is that the grimoire used for the ritual doesn’t include a way to send her back, leaving Jashin-chan stranded—and convinced that violence is her only route to freedom.

That plan rarely goes well. Yurine is far from defenseless, meeting Jashin-chan’s schemes with overwhelming strength and a streak of brutal creativity that repeatedly leaves the demon dismembered, blended, or even cooked. Thanks to Jashin-chan’s regenerative ability, she survives the carnage, and the two settle into an uneasy arrangement: room and board in exchange for help around the apartment, with their chaotic cohabitation almost always ending with Jashin-chan in pieces.

Otaku Consensus

Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash is the season where Nomad’s adaptation settles into a sharper rhythm: Hikaru Satou and Takanori Yano keep the skit pacing fast, while Kazuyuki Fudeyasu’s scripts lean into meta escalation rather than sitcom warmth. Fans responded strongly, with AnimeOshi reporting a 97% high-score rate from 133 scouts and MAL holding it at 7.48, but the core objection remains unchanged: the comedy’s bloodier slapstick can read as mean-spirited torture rather than playful absurdity.

Why You Should Watch

Watch Dash if you want comedy that treats cute-girl anime like a crash-test facility: rapid skits, supernatural freeloaders, meta punchlines, and bodily harm pushed so far past taste that it becomes the show’s grammar. It scratches the Gabriel DropOut itch of divine and demonic beings wasting their lives in the human world, but strips out the soft edges and replaces them with censor-mosaic gore, bullying dynamics, and old-school gag timing. The ideal viewer is already comfortable with lowbrow slapstick and wants an anime that escalates instead of apologizes. If your favorite comedy mode is “how much can this character suffer before the cutaway,” Dash is the franchise’s concentrated form.

Key Characters

Y
Yurine Hanazono(VA: Nichika Oomori)
Yurine’s fan appeal comes from the deadpan gap between her gothic-lolita styling and the surgical calm with which she ends every bad idea directed at her.
J
Jashin-chan(VA: Aina Suzuki)
Jashin-chan is built as an anti-mascot: selfish, noisy, indestructible, and funny precisely because the show refuses to let her win cleanly.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
Nomad’s production keeps the character designs slightly old-school, a quality singled out even by negative reviewers who rejected the violence but acknowledged the visual identity and solid animation.
2
Dash compresses its television run into 11 episodes, aired from April 6 to June 22, 2020, giving the season a brisker gag density than many 12-episode comedy cour.
3
The season’s AniList tag profile is unusually extreme for a cute-girl-looking comedy: Meta at 95%, Slapstick at 93%, Surreal Comedy at 91%, Demons at 90%, and Torture at 79%.
4
The adaptation is steered by a split leadership setup, with Hikaru Satou credited as chief director and Takanori Yano as director, while Kazuyuki Fudeyasu handles both series composition and script.
5
Yuuichi Imaizumi’s sound direction and the music by Yuzuru Jinma and Yuuki Kurihara support a sketch-comedy rhythm, where timing, impact sounds, and abrupt tonal shifts matter as much as the animation.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: The Japanese title is Jashin-chan Dropkick’, using a prime mark for the second season rather than a conventional “Season 2” label; the English-facing title is Dropkick on My Devil!! Dash.
Fun fact 2: AnimeOshi’s user scout data was especially enthusiastic for Dash, reporting 133 reviews with a 97% high-score rate, a sharper fan-positive signal than its more moderate MAL score of 7.48 from 24,220 votes.
Fun fact 3: The series sits in a niche rather than mainstream popularity bracket: MAL lists Dash around rank #2275 and popularity #3350, while AniList records a 73/100 score and 278 favourites.
Fun fact 4: The franchise has had different streaming associations over time, with Amazon Prime Video listed as a former streaming licensor and Crunchyroll as the current one in the research data.
Fun fact 5: The most divisive critical through-line predates Dash: early reviewers of the first season praised the gothic-lolita accuracy and solid animation while condemning the extreme blood, electrocution gags, and censor-mosaic violence.
