Jashin-chan Dropkick is a show for anyone who likes characters with bad, irredeemable, one note personalities and no story development whatsoever.


The show is basically a gory buddy comedy about a chuuni gothic lolita girl named Yurine and a devil snake girl named Jashin that she apparently summoned. Jashin wants to return to her home (hell) but has to kill Yurine to do that. But she sucks at her attempts to do so and gets brutally punished for it by Yurine who is also a massive sadist.

For me this show has not a single good vibe, it's toxic all around, which completely muffles every attempt at comedy. Yurine is cringily cool, skilled and collected at all times and enjoys to hurt Jashin. Jashin loud, overconfident, clumsy and mean, but she is basically Yurines kidnapping victim and gets held in the human world for Yurine's entertainment.
Of course the show never acknowledges this Dilemma and expects me to just go along with it.

The rest of the show is incoherent and weird. It's constantly trying to parody itself, completely overdoing it in parts. The rest of the cast are other demon and angel girls with even less interesting one note personalities. There is no story, just days going by with different antics but always a big portion of violence and toxicity.
Again, the show kind of relies on the viewer accepting everything with a shrug, including the implication that Jashin deserves the violence she suffers under. But keep in mind, she's not there by choice, she got summoned by Yurine and now Yurine refuses to take any responsibility.

Idk, I can't even really muster up any more actual criticism. Good character dynamics are the basis of a good show for me, and Jashin-Chan Dropkick fails in this regard.

If you like bullying, abuse and gore though, this might be the show for you.
