Hozuki's Coolheadedness
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Hell is a bureaucracy, and business is running smoother than ever thanks to the demonic efficiency of Hoozuki, chief deputy to Lord Enma, the King of Hell. Whether offering counsel to the Momotarou of Japanese folklore or receiving diplomatic missions from the Judeo-Christian Hell, the demon who runs the show from behind the king's imposing shadow is ready to beat down any challenges coming his way into a bloody pulp. Metaphorically, of course... The poster boy for micromanagement and armed with negotiation skills worthy of Wall Street, Hoozuki no Reitetsu follows the sadistic and level-headed Hoozuki as he spends his days troubleshooting hell. With an abundance of familiar faces from popular Japanese legends and East Asian mythology working middle management positions, this referential and anachronistic dark comedy brings new meaning to the phrase "employer liability." Just how hard could it be to manage employees from hell, anyway?

The ending was satisfying to watch. It's a festival moment with all the characters gathered in one place. The song in the middle was quite nice to listen to. After that, it shifted to a fast-paced moment with a lot of talking scenes (quite boring). But overall, it was an ending that didn't feel rushed
Hakutaku and Hozuki's moments were kinda the best duo in this episode, even though some punchlines didn't manage to be delivered. There's also a little flashback but it didn't disturb the plot tempo. The first half focused on Beelzebub, the second focused on Hakutaku
There's a romance scene at the end of the episode. A full pack with heavy info can make it hard to catch up with the storyline, but if we don't pay attention, we might miss crucial info. The info came at a fast pace and the funny parts felt forced mostly (though there was a good punchline). Overall, a relaxing episode with heavy info
A relaxing episode with an exercise concept. The funny parts were enjoyable and managed to be delivered to us somehow! Hozuki played the coach role and there wasn't much heavy info that could make us sleepy. Overall, it can be watched without getting sleepy at all
It's a pack of info from the beginning until the end. You can understand the plot, but it could make you sleepy because the funny parts felt cringe. But the chaotic part was enjoyable to watch after the second half of the episode. It managed to keep us hooked after that until the end
The funny parts felt forced. The plot was kinda hard for us to understand. The first half focused on another new woman character before it shifted to a different character. Watch it if you don't have anything to do, skip it if you can't handle cringe moments and stuff that's not related much to the main plot
The funny parts felt forced. It kinda messed up the plot because it was hard for me to understand certain parts when it then shifted to a completely different scene. It's still an understandable episode, but you need to pause for a moment to understand it better
There was a lot of heavy information in this episode. There was a reporter who kept disturbing Hozuki. A lot of characters were introduced in this episode. The funny parts were cringe, but Hozuki's badass and aura moments were still shown. The good thing was that the graphics didn't disappoint us
There was a pretty weird and disturbing part when a horse was modified to be female, and it was kinda disgusting. But after that, it shifted to sports day and it became enjoyable. Still, it wasn't very interesting because the sports day focused on side characters and Hozuki didn't take part.
The first half of the episode was a lot of talking, but it did progress something for the plot. When the second half took place, it was heavy with info as Hozuki explained about Hell and introduced another character that seems important for future episodes. The funny parts felt forced and made it hard to keep watching until the end
This time the funny parts kinda felt forced. A new character was introduced here and became Hozuki's rival. But not much interesting happened yet. It was just a side episode that isn't related much to the main plot. Skipping this won't hurt the plot
This episode mostly showed Hozuki's characteristics from Satan's POV. There were some parts that were hilarious, and some parts that were cringe. But I would say it was still important to watch and it managed to keep us hooked for a while. Good progress
I would say this episode was pretty heavy to watch because there was a lot of info and characters that needed to be noted. It was a slow pace with not much interesting happening. But we still got a sense of direction for how this anime will go. Overall, a 50-50 first impression for me
The rule of 3 episodes really applies with a show like this. I wasn't into it at all for the first two but for some inexplicable reason this episode was good. I appreciate how the lack of high paced action allows the entire show to keep the same animation and not rely on CGI or shortcuts. This show does exactly what it's supposed to do.
I'm still at the point of trying to get used to this show. It's not "funny" but it gives a few chuckles. I'm not a fan of the type of show this tries to be. But this episode isn't bad. It truly just feels like a The Office type of show in anime form
The finale episode ended with sweet moment, but Hozuki's iconic 'straight' face made it even better. The animation in first half was gorgeous- the lights, festive vibes gave a happy moment to the finale. Overall, if you like Gintama, then give it a try for this! ✨
This man truly can’t catch a break! It feels slice of lifey in its writing and delivery. Just a salaryman in hell. Interesting concept, but not quite sure what to expect going forward. Very loose/non existent plot so far which makes it hard to really get into unless you’re already into slice of life.
Hozuki and Hakutaku's chemistry (more of rivalry) is just wholesome and damn funny to watch. Also, we get to know bit about their past- I bet the encounter you didn't even expect 😆. The first half is just comedy gold! Beelzebub got traumatized for sure!!!
This was funny yet bit of emotional at the end of the episode. But still Hozuki BEING Hozuki! The animation in the first half was gorgeous-the colors, background art just take you to ancient paintings! Again, the new characters added a comedic layer with their tragic background! The ending was cold though🥶
The second half absolutely ATE the show! Damn! It was so funny🤣. Hozuki being strict 'coach' always makes the episode worth to watch(you might get hungry while watching this). The dinner gathering, the consequences that led to the things in second half were all gave a good watch!
