Synopsis

In a modern world where humans live alongside angels, demons, and other supernatural neighbors, demon Neil Bowman stands out for all the wrong reasons—he’s fascinated by human culture and seemingly incapable of doing anything truly wicked. Unable to fit in back in Hell, he escapes to Earth in search of the life he’s been dreaming about.

Neil ends up sharing an apartment with his online friend Ira Blood, a vampire, and a household full of distinctly nonhuman roommates: Lynn Angel, the strict angel who serves as their landlord; Lynn’s younger sister Lily, who has fallen from Heaven; Abu, a silent mummy; and Vladimir Eliot Kirilenko, a werewolf assigned to keep an eye on Neil. As the residents of Apartment 1031 settle into their peculiar routine, an unsettling truth lingers in the background—Neil carries the power of the Demon King, even if he doesn’t realize it.

Otaku Consensus

All Saints Street earns its near-8 audience scores by treating supernatural mythology as a compact roommate sitcom: MTJJ’s chief direction keeps the short episodes brisk, while Fenz and HMCH give the cast readable designs that critics repeatedly single out as instantly distinguishable. Its strongest appeal is adaptation confidence rather than lore density, though that is also the main complaint: viewers expecting a plot-heavy manhua transfer may be thrown by the anime’s different timeline and lighter, gag-forward structure.

Why You Should Watch

Watch All Saints Street if you want urban-fantasy comfort comedy without the homework of a sprawling magic system or the melodrama that often comes with demons-and-angels stories. It scratches a similar itch to Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid’s supernatural domestic chaos and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.’s bite-size gag rhythm, but with a primarily male, found-family ensemble and a softer “cute boys doing cute things” flavor. The short 12-episode format makes it unusually bingeable, and the appeal is in how cleanly each personality reads on screen: angelic authority, vampire deadpan, demonic sweetness, fallen-angel energy, and silent visual comedy all occupy different lanes. It is best for viewers who value character chemistry, expressive design, and low-stress fantasy absurdity over serialized stakes.

Key Characters

N
Neil Bowman(VA: Daiki Yamashita)
Neil is the show’s comic center because his demonic label clashes with a conspicuously harmless, human-culture-loving temperament, giving the series its gentlest punchline.
I
Ira Blood(VA: Jun Fukuyama)
Ira functions as the vampire roommate whose cool supernatural branding is undercut by the series’ relaxed, everyday-sitcom sense of timing.
L
Lynn Angel(VA: Kaito Ishikawa)
Lynn is the disciplined angelic straight man, and fans tend to remember him as the household’s pressure valve whenever the comedy threatens to drift into pure chaos.
L
Lily Angel(VA: Marika Kouno)
Lily adds a fallen-angel contrast to Lynn’s strictness, giving the ensemble one of its clearest sibling-comedy dynamics without needing exposition-heavy drama.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
The anime is adapted from Lingzi’s Chinese manhua rather than a Japanese manga or light novel, and fan reviews specifically note that the anime changes the manhua’s plotline and timeline instead of functioning as a straight panel-to-screen transfer.
2
Fenz and HMCH’s production is praised less for spectacle than for readability: critics highlighted that the characters are memorable and easy to tell apart, an important strength in a 12-episode ensemble comedy with angels, demons, vampires, a mummy, and a werewolf sharing screen time.
3
The series uses a short-form, binge-friendly structure, and user reviews repeatedly point to its low-friction pacing: it is designed to be consumed in a sitting rather than paced like a plot-dense seasonal fantasy.
4
Its AniList tag profile is unusually concentrated for a comedy: Demons sits at 96%, Cute Boys Doing Cute Things at 90%, Primarily Male Cast at 84%, Ensemble Cast at 83%, and Urban Fantasy at 82%, which accurately signals a supernatural sitcom more than a battle-fantasy setup.
5
The production credits give the visual pipeline clear named roles, with Rui as art director, Liangshuang as director of photography, and Dashuang as animation director, supporting the show’s emphasis on clean presentation and character-first comedy.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: Despite a modest MAL popularity placement of #4390, All Saints Street holds a strong 7.97/10 score from 12,405 votes and a MAL rank of #741, showing a small but unusually satisfied audience.
Fun fact 2: AniList tells a similar story: the series sits at 78/100 with 671 favourites, aligning with the fan-review pattern of viewers treating it as a repeat comfort watch rather than a one-and-done curiosity.
Fun fact 3: The key staff list credits Lingzi as original creator and MTJJ as chief director, marking the anime as a Chinese-source adaptation guided by a separate animation-direction team rather than a creator-only showcase.
Fun fact 4: The Japanese voice cast is stacked with familiar anime names: Daiki Yamashita voices Neil Bowman, Jun Fukuyama voices Ira Blood, Kaito Ishikawa voices Lynn Angel, Marika Kouno voices Lily Angel, and Shun Horie voices Abu.
Fun fact 5: One highly positive user review frames the anime as a biannual rewatch ritual while also warning newcomers not to expect a plot-heavy experience, which neatly captures the split between its comfort-watch fandom and its most common criticism.
