Should You Start Jashin-chan Dropkick?
#

If you are looking for a chaotic blend of supernatural elements and comedy, Jashin-chan Dropkick (also known as Dropkick on My Devil!) is a unique choice. The story follows Yurine Hanazono, a college student who finds herself in an unlikely living arrangement after summoning Jashin-chan, a demon from the underworld. Because Jashin-chan can only return to the underworld if Yurine dies, the series revolves around the demon’s constant, failed plots to kill her roommate in their run-down Tokyo apartment.

If you’re ready to dive into this supernatural comedy, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to see the mayhem for yourself.

Is the Anime Really Finished?
#

Whether the anime is “finished” depends on what you are looking for. While there have been multiple seasons and a spinoff, the story originates from a manga that has been serialized in Comic Meteor since April 2012.

Because the anime is an adaptation of this long-running manga and continues to produce new content—including spinoffs like Dropkick on My Devil!!: Apocalypse Day—viewers who want the full, definitive story will likely need to buy the manga to continue beyond the animated episodes.

Audience and Appeal
#

This series is best suited for fans of the comedy and supernatural genres who enjoy high-energy dynamics and darkly humorous premises. The appeal lies in the antagonistic yet domestic relationship between Yurine and Jashin-chan.
